Mai is my favorite girl in this show because she kicks demonic booty! Although if I were to choose one of these girls to date and be a relationship with, I choose Nayuki. She's too damn cute! lol.

Anyway, all girls in this show are awesome but Ayu was my favourite from the moment
she appeared for the first time (not considering the OP). Energetic, a bit clumsy, loli ... ^^.
Uguu~ ftw.
Mai was by far my most beloved character in the series. Like, BY FAR. I always like the characters with a strong personality, kinda mysterious and stuff, and she fit that role perfectly, she was funny too :D.
On Shiori, it's not that I particularly hated her, it's just... I think she gets so much better as the story progresses, but the first episodes when she appears I just couldn't stand her, I hated everything from her clothes to her fragility and the sadness she inspired. As her arc developed though I kind of started to like her, not as much as other characters but she was ok.
Ayu no brainer,
but I remember liking Makoto and Mai's soft side.
I don't remember how much I liked Nayuki and Shiori though, since, unfortunately, in the anime, the protagonist mostly ignores them.
I have no idea if there's proper routes for them in the visual novel compared to what the anime adapted.
I found Shiori to be my favourite, but it's very close between her and Ayu. I felt that their arcs were the most compelling and most emotional for me.
Makoto's arc was heart-breaking, although I have some reservations about how her path ended; that's why she's 3rd.
I really like Mai. The only reason why she isn't higher is because she feels like a carbon copy of the typical soft & silent kuudere character. I feel like Kotomi from Clannad was a kuudere character that was given more depth and a greater differentiation from other characters of that type than Mai got given.
Sayuri and Nayuki are pretty much on the same level for me. I understand that Nayuki has her fans, and rightfully so, but she personally sort of lost me during her depression phase. Sayuri, on the other hand, seems like a really pleasant character - very similar to Miyazawa from Clannad - but lacking a little depth.
Akiko is a great aunt to Yuichi and very reminiscent of Sanae from Clannad. She brightens every scene she's in with her effervescent demeanor.
Mishio and Kaori are pretty much throwaway characters in my eyes. Their purpose as characters mostly comes down to laying the foundation for other characters' arcs (Mishio for Makoto, and Kaori for Shiori). Seeing them at the bottom of the poll doesn't surprise me, but I don't dislike them (well, maybe Kaori a little, since I'm not a fan of her initial coldness towards Shiori).
Maybe my playthrough of the VN will change my ranking. I'll update this post in the future when that happens.
