While I'm on the topic, do the other members of Kirito's harem move on after seeing they have absolutely no chance against Asuna? |
Klein and Egil are both important and continuing characters in the story. Neither obviously hold a candle to Kirito... but they are reoccurring across the various arcs. Klein actually gets cooler, in certain ways, in the ALO arcs. Egil doesn't seem to spend much time in-game (IIRC) but certainly makes various appearances in the RL scenes.
I've always assumed Kirito's harem moves on... they may not end up dating other people and they probably pine for Kirito... but I don't personally see the followup relationships as potential love interests 'chasing' our hero.

Thanks for the translations!
It's awesome news that they're going to... err... do a reboot of the franchise start. Putting the beginning portions of Vol 1> First Day > Aria > Rondo into a new volume and allowing the author a new chance to clean up some of the inconsistencies will be grand. Even if they don't take that path it'd be lovely to see. Even if they don't take that path it'll be a grand opportunity and I for one am really looking forward to it.
It's also possible the anime will skip some of that to boost book sales later.
