M3 Grand Prix ‘23 ~Weeks 19-22: Weeks of August~

What is the M3 Grand Prix?

An unofficial tournament held on certain occasions (usually anniversaries) involving public voting.

Further explanation

How does it work?

In addition, initial seeding was randomized. I apologize—but am not responsible—for any and all Sophie's choices that result from this voting.

Win or lose, your oshi is a queen.
