Macross doesn't tend to resolve romance in the most predictable manner, in the original

Spoiler for Romance:

it seems more likely, at least to me, for most of the run that he'll go with Minmay, him meeting her first and all, he ends up with Mis

it wasn't even a typical romance in that neither Misa or Minmay were (and still aren't) typical romantic leads.
