Junichi's best moments--really, the only moments in which I particularly liked him at all--were during the Kaoru arc when he was being supportive of her. I went cross-eyed and said "Good, Nar--Junichi, you look kind of cool."
Basically, so far, Junichi has been the guy that each girl deserves/is ready for. Haruka's off in la-la land, so she got the puppy love of a Junichi who isn't all there himself. Kaoru's maturing through a less-than-ideal family situation and supporting herself, so she gets a Junichi who is manning up and taking his first steps towards being an adult. Sae is a moe-blob, so she got a Junichi who is as likely to motorboat her as he is to talk to her. I suspect that the remaining girls will get the same treatment.

No, I also agree that Junichi's personality changes depending on the girl. The only things that are set in stone are that Junichi is perverted, has two friends (Umehara and Kaoru), a little sister (Miya), and is afraid of being abandoned again at Christmas.
For Ayatsuji, who is a leader who has to learn to tolerate everything, Junichi becomes a loyal follower that learns to take everything Ayatsuji throws at him. For Ai who is the responsible pillar of support for both the school's swimming team and her little brother at home, Junichi becomes her emotional pillar of support. |

Keitaro Urashima(Love Hina), Ichitaka Seto (I''s), Hachibe Maeda(Ai Kora) are perfect examples of a bumbling idiot. They usually have "accidents" that ruin their chances of getting a girl and are often misunderstood. Junichi on the other hand creates scenarios favorable to him(haruka roleplay, sae's tutoring etc.)...

Do they even reveal the details of that in the game?

Yeah, the first episode was very detailed about Junichi being scared to ask Haruka the confession he made, but on the other arcs... He just seems to be perfectly fine with it... He's like some pimp now...

I'm fairly disappointed they keep *re-inventing* Junichi's personality for the different arcs. He really isn't the same guy even from the beginning of each arc. What I was hoping for is to watch the "same guy" evolve to a different Junichi in response to the changes in events and moments of fate that have him ending up with such different sorts of females. Ah well... too much expectation from disposable entertainment.

Besides, Junichi's background wasn't that detailed anyway. He's been stood up, and he still dwells on it for two years. However, the girl's name, appearance, or personality was never revealed. That makes it hard to believe that he ever really loved this girl when he only thinks about being stood up that one day, and not how good he had it with her, or why Junichi loved this girl enough to where it would hurt when he lost her. I just can't see this premise being seriously important to the story, other than "hey, this is Junichi's second chance! How will he take it?" |

I like Junichi the most in Haruka's arc...imo, this is about the only arc that he feels he wants to chase the girl that he likes...in other arc he is like "Wow, a pretty girl is getting closer and closer to me, and perhaps I actually like her as well??"
Just a feeling, that's all XD I am not bashing the anime lol as I really like this anime..it's just that sometimes I get this feeling from our main hero...

Junichi in other arcs have a much easier time. He doesn't even have to do much because the girl liked him first.
