Kirino Chiba, Runaway Star of AGP ‘09

How does a character from a rather obscure show make it to the AGP ‘09 finals? I’m talking about you, Kirino Chiba of Bamboo Blade.

Bamboo Blade was a great, fun sports show about kendo, and even had awesome sentai homages. However, compared to the juggernauts of 2008, it was destined to die a quick death, until a few souls ran motivated campaigns that swayed legions into their favor.

Hohoho, Kannagi

So the whole business about Nagi being second-hand has reached a point where it would even involve the mangaka, too. And the DORAMA is spreading like wildfire.
