No, seriously, watch J-Drama much? All too common.
Besides, explain why Alto came out with his jacket hanging over his shoulders instead of wearing them. The producers included that little detail intentionally, for a good reason.
And I have good laughs when nay sayers go in circles trying to explain why Alto took his jacket off. Go on and tell me yours, I doubt its not something I've not heard before.

During a make-out sessions, things can get hot, removing the jacket is merely a way to allow excess heat to leave. I re-watched the scene, if his shirt had been un-tucked it would have been a different story, but it was only his jacket.
I'm not saying that they didn't kiss. But beyond that its whatever someone wants to believe. Besides, Alto was in protective "I'll do anything for you" mode at the time.

As for poor Ranka, Kawamori himself already indicated quite clearly that he had no idea what to do with her middle of the show. It simply didn't work out for him, especially with some of the intended scenes that most Ranka fans crave/imagined but weren't shown. The connection simply wasn't there, and he could not, as he admitted, produce the right chemistry. At the end of a particular interview, he did mention Ranka having "issues with looking into the world" and she being "close-minded with very little awareness". His lasting remark being "learning to deal with reality/bigger environment might be a lesson for her from now on".

Sure, Kawamori said those things. Yes, Alto did ignore Ranka most of the time and yes he was using her as a way to escape. Also yes, Ranka was childish at times.
But that doesn't dismiss the fact that Alto was aware of Ranka's feelings. He made it clear in ep23 that previously he just didn't want to see what was in front of him, that he was running away. During that conversation with Klan, he also states that "that" is over now, and he's not running away. Now given that he made it clear that he cared for her and he knew about her feelings towards him, tell me, what was over?
When he said "its over now", doesn't that mean he'll stop seeing Ranka as an excuse and stop trying not to see her attraction towards him? Doesn't that mean he's going to stop ignoring his own feelings towards her?
And before you say, "WHAT FEELINGS!" it's heavily hinted in the same conversation that he cared and still cares for her. Mind you, this was written by Ohnogi, not Kawamori.

As for Sheryl, he mentioned how much he regretted for not being able to "realize her potential sooner".

That's his own fault and frankly we all suffered for it. But thats no excuse to shaft a character to make way for a different one.

That's quite funny in itself. Don't lurk, it just kills discussion. And this is a Sheryl forum, there's no doubt... but telling us we're delusional and grasping our own hope? Not likely.
About your reasoning of "pure love" and "developed love" I mostly agree.
"Developed love" works from the ground up and has its ups and downs. The couple suffers conflicts but they grow together and compliment each other in the end rather well. On the other hand, "Pure love" is akin to being struck by cupids arrow. It's hard to believe and accept because it rarely happens IRL. But guess what? As much as its hard to believe, it does happen on occasions.
It's true that Alto x Sheryl is a sort of developed love, whereas Alto x Ranka is supposed to be sort of a "hit and click" sort of romance. There was, is, and could have had chemistry if Kawamori had taken a different path. Alto x Ranka is just as alive to me as Alto x Sheryl due to its possibilities.
