Mana probably won't happen. But Rina, or especially Menou is very plausible in the next few episodes.

And I don't see anyone taking advantage of him against his will except maybe Yayoi, and even then, he seems pretty enthusiastic about things. Except for Yayoi, who is betraying her employer, I don't actually blame any of the girls at all. They want what they want. He, however, has a supposed girl friend whom he is betraying at every step by his moral weakness. He never thinks of other people except at the moment they are in front of him and they become his goddess.
I have no real idea how this will all end, but your suggestion seems a pretty likely one. Poor Yuki. My notion is that he was tired of Yuki from the start and his dream about her getting further away (in ep1) was his permission to himself to be as unfaithful as he wanted.

Well it is and isn't against his will at the same time if that makes sense? He wants to make these girls happy, but he himself is not happy doing what he is doing. Like that one scene 2-3 episodes ago where he first kisses Rina and on the screen pops up that he wants someone to stop him from what he was about to do.
With Haruka, it is first clearly shown that he didn't want to do anything. But then once again, he felt he had to appease or satisfy another girl because he felt that he took advantage of her.
The only one that might go against this is Yayoi. But my explanation for it is that she is like the doll that he is taking out his emotional rage on since he can't have Yuki. Yayoi pretty much forced herself onto him multiple times. While he might be getting the physical satisfaction from her though, he is not getting the emotional. I remember a scene when he is kissing Yuki and is actually looking at Yayoi at the same time as if to say this the relationship he is in, and that she means nothing to him.
Probably also explains why he was ready to jump on the relationship with Misaki earlier on before Misaki ended up rejecting him... I think Touya may actually genuinely like her as a person, and once he was offered a way to break off into another relationship that wasn't purely physical... He was all for it, and was shot down. Hence, he has been basically spiraling down ever since.
All the meanwhile Yuki wants Touya to be waiting there at the finish line this whole time and innocently thought he'd be okay doing it. Now her to dismay, she knows this is not the case. Touya again is just too nice (And also probably still in love with her though he no longer has a reason to be I feel) to really take a stance against her position like "It's me or the career," or "This relationship is finished."
His inability to break off any relationship or resist unwanted advances is why he's pushover/nice guy. But in the end, that is why he is flawed, and is as you say, is driving stakes into Yuki's heart (And all the girls around him) because he can't say the simple word "no."
