I feel like you're underselling Chucky, the true hero of Gaim.

Keiko’s a cute enough character, for sure. She’s a total brat, which makes her fit perfectly into the Team Faiz Classic dynamic. (Kusaka is on the road this week, or else he’d’ve probably murdered her and hid the body.) She’s manipulating Keitaro and insulting the other two as soon as she meets them, because this kid wastes no time. She loves pushing buttons!

Murdered, yes. Hid? Nah, he'd just dump the body in Takumi's room and tell everyone that he did it.

I liked the Keiko plot in this episode, mainly because it gave Takumi and Mari the chance to be the wet blankets to Keitaro's enthusiasm again. With all the Kusaka stuff in the last few episodes it's been awhile since we got some time with the original trio and I never get tired of Keitaro getting consecutive rejections.
