Remember the scene where she tensely asked whether or not Junichi would hate her current self? She always wanted to be with him, she was even willing to discard her true personality to this end. And she was scared at this moment that it might not be enough. Instead, he told her that after all, he did love her, and her true identity in fact. Exactly what she would want to hear. Nothing fudged at all.
Himeji's problem is confusing Best=Perfect, which is certainly not the case in such a romance narrative. Best is indeed in overcoming problems rather than having everything be a fait accompli without any difficulty, which is why it also makes sense why Tsukasa is the cover girl for the series.

It would be awesome if someday Eterbrain do a sequel where the mc is Umehara =~ they could even make some events looking like a parallel to which route Junichi is, for example (in my idea of the 6 six possible arcs) :

Following Amagami's format where two arcs receive more attention (*) and two specials(#)

*Hibiki -> Haruka
Keiko -> Kaoru
Maya -> Ai, here he has the chance to know her more since she gets drunk a lot at where he works =~
Kanae -> Rihoko
Yukari -> Tsukasa (invents random reason =X)
*Miya -> Sae

#Manaka
#Ruriko

It could work, maybe =X
This would definitely be worth pursuing, if they had the guts to actually try and make it.
