Kozue, eh? Her ecchi fantasies are hilarious...she's like the opposite of the typical horny male character. I don't exactly like her appearance (though I don't mind her character) as I feel it's a ploy to drag on the series, but perhaps she will eventually serve to force Aya to come out of her shell.

Hey now, it's fair-game, no? Love is like a war...or say they say. I forgive him; take away Aya so Manaka can concentrate on saving Tsukasa~

Nope, Aya has only made indirect or ambiguous moves throughout the series but never flat-out declared love like Tsukasa and Satsuki have.

The chef guy is the most substantial threat out of all the other guys; I hope Manaka becomes motivated by the pressure and step up! C'mon, Tsukasa is the perfect girlfriend...why is Manaka still deciding?! >__<
That soccer-guy still feels for Tsukasa, too, though Tsukasa is immune to his player ways and reads him like a book.
I was quite amazed how long he has been ditched by his former buddies and left out of the series for so long ever since they got into high school. XD

We did see her at the karoke and double-date, no? Too bad all the loli characters in this series end up as comic relief. Oh well, at least on more than one occasion Yui played the very important role of connecting Tsukasa and Manaka, and it is refreshing that Yui is the only one of the original "four" who does not go for Manaka.

Early on I was actually fooled to think Satsuki had the potentials. Sigh, she was doomed the moment she decided to make herself a generous fan servicin' and easily-accessable body, err, buddy. But umm, Satsuki pretty much gave up already, no? She's completely out of the question now...

Agreed; I recall being really into this series back when Satsuki actually had a slim (VERY slim) fighting chance against Aya and Tsukasa...it was fun and chaotic juggling three girls at once.
A practice I use for this type of series is concentrating on only ONE girl at a time from the start, so I basically skip any interference and temptations. After going through the main four (now five?) girls, I enjoyed Manaka and Tsukasa's complicated and clumsy relationship the most...
