Ichika is certainly checking out Chifuyu-nee's childbearing hips as the above pictures show. The above might also explain why Ichika assumes such a disinterested and clueless role in front of the other ladies.

That's just it - after growing up with Chifuyu-nee, just any mere 'girl' pales in comparison. Chifuyu imprinted into Ichikia into looking at only older women.

Checking out your own sister in a school full of hot young ladies, that's just wrong.

As far as I know IS can be operated by girl(before Ichika appear) and from what I see they have different sync between each other, that we can assume the higher the sync the more powerful they are. And now they(IS pilot) should be have a child from a guy(obviously non IS pilot). Don't you think if the couple was both an IS pilot would produce child with higher sync? maybe even if it's a boy he can still pilot an IS.

So... The harem solution would be the most practical and politically acceptable one, then. Now, they just have to convince the girls. I suggest starting with Charles, who looks like she'd be a pushover for that. Her father already convinced her to crossdress and room with a boy anyway, so how hard can it be?

(As for Ichika? I suggest not asking for his opinion. Asking for the boy's opinion never works out.)

I wonder how true that is? Every year, several academies welcome hundreds of hopeful pilot-candidates, but how many new pilots do they need? Considering the limited number of cores, the vast majority of them must wash out. I suppose one might argue that the very best pilots are precious anyway, but it's not like they use the IS for anything truly critical. They're useful the way star athletes are: if your population is well-fed and bored, sure.

Then again, the shortage of cores is artificial. So it'd depends on how difficult it is to get a replacement if one is destroyed.

The unmanned IS drone may be a game-changer for a whole other reason: it may indicate that Houki's sister's monopoly on cores is broken. That's what changes everything.

Or maybe she still has a monopoly. Which could be scarier, because it begs the question: what does she want?

Well it might be that he prefers older women to begin with.

Probably a Reserve Corp or participate in research and development for new IS's.

Generally speaking though with only 497 known cores it's pretty competitive.

Oolala!

The revelation we got ourselves when Ichika thick-headedly and casually walked into the bathroom while "Charles" was taking a shower, skyrocketed "Charles" popularity beyond stardom.

As if any of us didn't read the signs in the previous episode....

Spoiler:

When Charles is revealed to be a girl, and by far the cutest and most innocent-charming amongst Ichika's recently-expanded harem, as the ending for the sixth episode suggested.

The most memorable and lovely moment of this episode to me was....

Spoiler:

When Charles asked Ichika to feed her the food right into her mouth with the chopsticks.

Her "a~ahn..." sound was delightfully blissful to hear, and, seriously, I feel chemistry or potential chemistry going around for those two, because they handled their dynamism and boy-to-girl-reactions in the most natural and spontaneous way possible.

Charles could felt getting lovely infatuated with Ichika after bearing witness to his display of kindness and chilvary right after disclosing him the reasons as why the Dunois Company set her as a boy to spy on him. Naturally, Ichika refuses to leave Charles and to hand her over to her father, in case her secret becomes public.

And Charles images and fandom continue to pop and pop everywhere. Yeah! We, support the French fandom. Give us more Charles, and more Charles-and-Ichika pairing.

Spoiler for For those of you who want to know how much progress each girl has made with Ichika:

So here's the progress for the five girls:

Houki: Ichika's osananajimi; Ichika used to visit her home to eat meals with her; accidentally seen by Ichika in just a bath towel; at the begining, paired with Ichika in the same room at the academy; gets to teach Ichika private lessons about I-S training and kendo training; got complimented by Ichika due to her ribbon and her good cooking; makes bento for Ichika.

Cecilia: Got smitten by Ichika's act of duel manliness at the end of the Class representative match; gets to teach Ichika private lessons about I-S training; makes bento for Ichika.

Rin: Ichika's osananajimi; Ichika used to visit her family's restaurant to eat meals with her; made promise with Ichika to marry him once becoming a proper cook, though Ichika has forgotten as of recently; gets to teach Ichika private lessons about I-S training; almost kissed an unconscious Ichika while both were temporarily alone in the infirmary room; got complimented by Ichika due to her good cooking; makes bento for Ichika.

Charles: Got lovely infatuated by Ichika's display of gentlemanly kindness; accidentally (or unknowingly) seen almost bare-naked by Ichika; currently paired up with Ichika in the same room; had dinner fed to her by Ichika.

So, the current harem types expanded into the following:

Japan - tsundere

United Kingdom - ojou-sama

China - tomboy ?

France - gender-bender

I don't want a harem end anymore. France-end is the only end.

As much as I'd like to quote the entire thread, I chose to use this one since it sums up my thoughts the best.

No matter how many times I watch it the "Ichika no ecchi" is an instant KO (Think Sanji in One Piece, you try to resist, but the blood loss happens anyways).

If that was a move in a game, it would be broken beyond belief. At this point forward I would like to request that this show changes its focus and be renamed "Infinite Charlotte."

When your sister is the hottest of them all, all the other "hot" girls are just meh

Listen... If any normal guy had that many girls after them as Ichika does and they were impotent... They'd go broke with the supply of a little blue pill they'd be buying in bulk.. XD

Yes, it's quite possible that Ichika is yet another male lead with a huge big-sister-complex (the other being Aoi from Freezing)

They can be best buds if that is the case. But she did rescue him while he was being kidnapped, so maybe after seeing his "heroic" sister in action, and actually going through the trouble of losing a match and her chance just to save him, he has grown quite a sister-complex ever since.
