Disliking a character is also different than hating them. They can have good moments where you really love them and sections where you almost hate them, it is a spontaneous thing. However, I have never hated Alto. His best sides were always shown with Ranka - be a caring, loving person, sharing a dream with someone else, and accepting their flaws - whereas he could be entirely the opposite with Sheryl - putting on a mask and being defensive for literally no reason at times. A woman who brings out the worst in a man is not someone he should be with. That is why Ranka should be with him. She brought out his pure smile, his true light, and made him happy despite her flaws. And, in respect, he did the same for her. She shined best whilst doing things for him (for example, the concert on Galia 4, a birthday present to Alto; and, for Alto, the talk at Griffith Park where she sings for him and later accepts his - and his mother's - dream to fly). They both got things from one another. Sheryl may inspire Alto but as far as I am concerned, I never saw anything that pointed towards Alto having romantic feelings for Sheryl. Since the story tended to focus on the girls' feelings more, it is safe to say that Sheryl did in fact develop feelings for Alto. However, if that love is one-sided - as it appears in my point of view - I hardly believe their intention was to set the two up. Personally, I would believe it more had they set it up where Alto was a little more proactive about her from the start rather than being proactive with Ranka. He never showed an interest in Sheryl romantically. Sexually, yes; friendship-wise, yes; but not romantically. You can care about someone being ill without loving them as a soul mate. By the way, if we continue this discussion, let's move it to the Romance Thread since we're in the wrong one for such a discussion.

Nah, nobody is having major bad feelings here, it was just a curious question of mine. No kerfluffling of any kind going on.

As an answer to your pairing question: I don't like sibling relationships turned into love. I am not into incest. It is a whole story of having been close to my half-brother who I rarely saw and died from dialysis. So unless there was a third romantic interest, like Michael, there is no path but Alto. Still, I like him especially more than her biological brother. For one, he expressions emotions. Quote:

Damn, I lost the final wedding picture in my computer shuffle. Don't worry, I'll keep looking for it on my hard drive.
Here are a few in the meantime: I wasn't talking high resolution like the posters though. I meant the manga pages. The posters are perfect size.

Files 1-2 are stuck in customs hell, so I'll get back to those whenever I get them. I'll try taking better pictures of these too. Eventually. ...
