I personally think Mizuho's love is a bit forced, but it tracks. When she was in her lowest, what looked like her ideal man came to her rescue, then hurriedly leave when her feelings were on top of the wave. That made those feelings last longer. I like that the love the girls feel for Masato is somewhat understandable and not forced. Some live empty lives, others never knew love, there's the one he tutors that I genuinely think just admires Masato and that's it, others don't even see him for who he is, and just proyect him into this ideal version of him that checks all the things they like. The best of all of this? This is something that normal people do in the normal world, and we do it A LOT.
Funnily enough I think that Mizuho represents "love" the most. She knows she shouldn't shoot her shot, yet she can't just kill her feelings either. Without choosing, she just goes by, hoping for a miracle she knows won't come. THAT is love in a pure form. Koumi fearing Masato's reaction is also very realistic too. After all, in that world, Masato seems almost ideal in every way. He's young, athletic, has morals, ambitions, is outgoing, respects and cherishes her, man I'd say Masato would be popular in the real world too.
I like this series, I think it's a solid read worth analizing, even a little. Sadly it's quite late into the night right now, so my review might be a little messy. Nonetheless I didn't want to wait for tomorrow to read this. Anyhow, have a pleasant day, everyone!
