Spoiler for Akane:

Hm, the way i see it is - its not that Akane didn't think of him enough, its that he didn't think of her (or anyone else) enough. I think Kouhei can come back because he has a strong enough attachment to this world. An anchor of sorts. But that leaves the gapping hole why does he disappear in the first place ... hence my complaints of it not being explained enough.

Spoiler for eternal world:

It is a part of the story, obviously - it takes place during the game after all A sort of side view with Kouhei reflecting on himself in the real world ... but the two didn't feel connected to me. Like two separate worlds with no bound between the two, even though they are supposed to be tied together. Hence my complaint it only seems to be inserted to provide grounds for some drama and not much besides that. At least thats how i felt about it.

Misaki is by far my favorite character indeed, with Akane coming in as second. I didn't care much for Akane at first, but she grew on me rather quickly. I am not all that fond of Nanase though
