The "transfered student" take, nice.
Aya will sort her feelings after she realizes that she's jealous of Honda and then, fight for her. The new character doesn't look like the manipulative type, so won't be so troublesume, i assume...
Still, even though it's predictable, the characters are so interesting that i don't really care about it(and i'm annoying when it comes to this subject of predictableness in stories lol)
... Now that i'm reflecting more about it, the characters aren't really that interesting, they belong to really popular molds(like Honda, the =| but cute inside), but Aya is... kinda different? Gentle, but selfish. Smart but extremely anxious on tests and such, it's a nice contrast, i'd say.
