I'd like to think people are just looking too much into it. But the "no Koharu in bed" got me. Because it appears to be so late at night, so Koharu would be sleeping by then. The show is gonna feel so empty without her ;-;

What makes me think Koharu leaving isn't gonna happen is that she's shown with everyone at  around 1:06-1:10 so I dunno. She appears just as much as Ako and Mahiru which makes me feel like the show would still occasionally focus on her even if she's away. Or maybe she's pulling an Ichigo and going overseas to undergo intense training to come back later as a "better" version of herself (Unlikely she'd do that since she seems to be a pretty frail girl). Or maybe she's doing like Yuu from the original series with being a traveller idol. Except Koharu would travel over the world to appear on fashion shows to get higher popularity.

I personally think she isn't leaving though. Aikatsu wouldn't waste a character like Koharu even if she doesn't get the treatment she deserves. I still hope even if she's away, she still will get screentime and development.
