** A close second is Tamiko, who arguably gets the least focus of any party member (the party even finds out she has Shadows offscreen, as opposed to the other Freedom Fighters that get concrete showings of the Shadow disease), and yet is just as popular as Rina, if not even more so. [[{{Chuunibyou}} There's an obvious reason why,]] but people also love her for her touching relationships with various cast members, her [[BadassPacifist surprisingly awesome moments despite being the navigator,]] and her surprisingly deep and heartfelt Social Link.

** Wilma, big time. She's awkward, somewhat shy, and adorable.
** Tamiko, too; her {{Chuunibyou}} shtick only makes her all the more endearing.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Minor one, but the relationship between Rina and Kazuki was briefly discussed due to [[StrangledByTheRedString the]] ShipTease [[StrangledByTheRedString feeling distinctly more forced compared to Rina and Wilma, who had far more natural chemistry.]] [[spoiler:Chapters 90 and 91 address this tastefully - Rina admits she just felt mild infatuation for Kazuki, and realizes she really has feelings for Wilma. To say the fans were happy was an understatement.]]
