I can't relate to Hanayo at all (the most relatable character for me would easily be Eli, which is a big part of why I really like Nozomi though I'm not a big fan of hers [Eli], currently... Hanayo's way of acting and her feelings might as well be those of an alien to me), so this is something I never really considered.
Interesting post. Makes me want to rewatch the anime (I never really got to it even after I re-tried it...). I think I'll do just that.
