Due to this, she's easily the least liked member of the cast (even compared to Chika, who's generally the most hated after her). The Scrappy: Mayu, whose spoiled Alpha Bitch tendencies not only put her at odds with the rest of the group (especially Tina), but her complete inability to accept Kaoru's love for Aoi, even after they get married shows her to be a Sore Loser.Moe: Wouldn't really be an Unwanted Harem show without tons of it, right?.Meanwhile, the real Aoi is going into spasms of embarrassment, complete with Luminescent Blush and Big 'NO!'. She tells Aoi the next morning, 'I thought I was going to have to switch teams just to survive,' and there's an Imagine Spot of a wide-awake, seductively smiling Aoi fondling her. Played with when Tina discovers Aoi's habit of hugging people or objects in her sleep.Miyabi's life revolves around Aoi, and she admits feeling jealousy toward Kaoru, as well as a belief that he is unworthy of all the effort Aoi has been putting in to prepare for being his wife.Also, there's her threat to go kiss Aoi and Miyabi if Kaoru won't kiss her. Les Yay: Tina likes groping other women's (and girls') breasts.Subverted with Tina, who later admits that she did notice the attraction Kaoru and Aoi had for each other, but had doubts and (unaware of both their upper-class statuses and the enforced Cannot Spit It Out) couldn't begin to guess why they were hiding it.Especially at the end of Episode 20 'Cure.' It's TOO SUSPICIOUS that Kaoru and Aoi just so happen to be sitting in a classroom alone while the sun is setting, having just kissed only to be found by Tina and the others who are completely oblivious to the whole situation.It's a little surprising that her father didn't put out a hit on the guy (you know, aside from the fact that that would have comprised the author taking the genre and structure of his story and breaking them over his knee). It's made clear that Aoi's father has been opposed to her relationship with Kaoru up to the very end. This persists all the way up to the final volume where Aoi is practically kidnapped in an attempt to get her to marry the other Kaoru who is supposed to be the new heir to Hanabishi clan. They even go so far as to actively attempt to break them up by trying to get Aoi to marry another man.

Averted in the manga, where, in spite of being sidelined or downplayed for comedic purposes most of the time, it is made fairly clear that Aoi's family is putting extreme pressure on Aoi and Kaoru to avoid giving any sign of being in a relationship.Even more egregiously, while Aoi and Kaoru may have reason to keep their engagement low profile to avoid antagonizing Aoi's family, there's no good reason for Kaoru to pretend he's romantically 'available,' except that it keeps the ' hilarity' going. But it really should be obvious to anyone paying attention that something odd is going on between Aoi and Kaoru even the way they address each other - Aoi calling the ostensibly lower-caste Kaoru 'Kaoru-sama' while Kaoru calls the ostensibly higher-caste Aoi 'Aoi-chan' - should make people suspicious. Idiot Plot: A mild example - perhaps more of a None-Too-Clever Plot.So much so that she becomes the main character for the Ennishi anime and her situation drives most of the conflicts since Kaoru and Aoi's have basically all been resolved already. Extreme Doormat? Purity Sue? Both? Neither? Debate rages. Alternative Character Interpretation: Aoi.
