When I first reviewed the Anime, ironically it was after the first time I ever watched the whole anime. I didn't know what to think of Kouichi X Mei. On one side they do have intimate moments that bordered on the romantic such as their hands connecting when digging a sand castle. On the otherside they have a platonic relationship such as hanging around the doll shop and playground like a couple of ordinary kids. There's even a few minor hints that Kouichi might be attracted to her sexually, such as his POV shots. They are always staring at her legs and skirt area, in a sort of minor Basic Instinct style situation. However I came to the conclusion that their relationship is that in the style of a Doctor Who Companion. He loves her too much to simply be her best friend, but doesn't quite love her enough to be his girlfriend. Unless the sequels and spin-offs say otherwise though.
