The one piece of Ko internal dialogue that makes me now lean more towards a Kohana end rather than an Ohana-forever-alone end is this:
'Thank you so much, Ms. Matsumae. I had almost given up on Ohana...'
Simply put, it doesn't make sense for Ko to be thinking this if he's already in a romantic relationship with his female coworker at the library (or anybody else, for that matter).
So he should be "available". So is Ohana, of course. And they both clearly have strong feelings for one another. So... I'm not seeing any real obstacles right now.
That doesn't mean that Okada won't create one, mind you, but I'm actually a bit skeptical that HSI would create a brand new completely romance-crushing obstacle at this juncture. The anime likes to build on what came before, while using new elements merely as puzzle pieces to fit in to the bigger picture.
