There was no character (with more than a few lines) in this manga that I either completely liked or completely disliked so, in that respect, I'd say the author did a great job making very 3-dimensional characters. Did she end up with who I wanted her to? I'm not sure.
I didn't find Hikaru and Saitou to be all that different tbh- they both dealt with complexes in their own ways (Hikaru by playing the hero, while Saitou went with the villain role) and both were saved by Inoue's...spirit perhaps? I did slightly prefer Hikaru from a personality pov but that's really because I liked his frankness and don't care much for tsundere characters like Saitou. So I really didn't have any opinions on who she should have ended up with.
