It's the same with shows like Lucky Star, Hidamari Sketch, Manabi Straight and so on.
Doubtful, IMHO, even in Lucky Star and Manabi Straight it is easy to see who are the stars, and who are the supporting cast among the main 4/5. The only surprise in Manabi Straight is when you realize Mikan is more important than what you make her out to be, but nothing major. It is more balanced in Hidamari Sketch, that much i'll agree and that is a feat in and of itself, given that in character oriented series there will almost be someone the author tends to favor more, and that thus receive more attention than the others. in HS you can say that Yuno and Miyako tend to shine more than their upper classmates, but considering the overall picture I'd still call it well balanced out. I guess it'll be interesting to see wheter KyoAni manages to balance out the cast in this 4-Koma iteration, because at least in LS they didn't succeed in that respect.
