Well let's throw my two cents in and see if I get mauled by the professionally offended.
The way I understood it was that the girls were very close, the guy confessed first and they ended up dating. However Ichika was far more comfortable with the Ritsu. Ritsu struggles with her sexuality and guilt and like most teenagers gave into her hormones. That kiss is what starts Ichika questioning, she's upset it was done sneakily but she was also happy because she loves Ritsu, this led her to feeling guilty and struggling with her own sexuality as she is dating the guy. Seeing this the Ritsu thinks it's best to make Ichika hate her and then leave her and the guy alone. Eventually the Ichika comes to terms with her feelings and makes a decision, she and the Ritsu have mutual feelings and get together. The guy accepts this because he wants them both to be happy.
The ending is a bit too neat and tidy and I think the author should've spent more time fleshing out the reasons and consequences but ultimately it comes down to the fact that the girls are homosexual, the guy never stood a chance because she was never actually attracted to him. She went out with him because that was "normal".
So that my view... please be civil if you disagree.
