The mecha in the anime might of sucked and that random guy sucked too but I mean end of the day Himeko still falls for Chikane so idc :D but if we remove the annoying random guy and the mecha then the story wouldn’t of had developed like it did. I think the Author should just make the after or an alternative version of the story instead. This is my favorite yuri anime all in all despite the ending and the sadness chikane endured throughout the whole anime.
