I just wonder...is Rei gonna sing in that certain episode or is she, like Koharu, gonna not sing and instead, have stupid miss perfect Elza sing instead? I have to be honest, if Ako doesn't get a duet/solo song in the next part of the game, I am gonna be worried and really start thinking that Ako is getting forgotten and being used only as a comedic device for romance in the series.

Ichika isn't flawless. She's the opposite. She has flaws but we know nothing about her besides her ability to decorate desserts to make them look like animals, loves sticking her nose into other people's business and is very happy-go-lucky. That's the difference between Mana and Ichika. One is flawless but we get to know about most of her before the half way point. The other is full of flaws but...doesn't really expand more of her character besides what we get told/see before the half way point (sticking nose into what doesn't concern was shown in Aoi's episode).

If Ichika ends up hogging the spotlight, and in a result, never learns from her actions, or takes no for an answer, or gets better at cooking/fighting, OR if we never get to see more about her, then she is even worse than Mana. I would happily take a flawless lead over a lead who doesn't even improve on whatever she is trying to do throughout the show or tell us much about her. I swear even with the past lead Cures, we got to know more about them besides their debut episodes before the half way point. Ichika seriously has had so many chances to prove to us that she has a difference side to her, but all we have seen is nothing. Nothing new was added to her character!
