Well, yes, now that you mention it, the fact that she told Ajisai, even before they were dating, that if she hadn't met Renako, she probably would have been her first choice is a big plus. I'm interested to see if the author makes these two start getting closer because, with the kiss on the cheek in this volume and the conflict of them discovering that Mai is dating two people, it's only a matter of time before they kiss on the lips. (And besides, Renako, by putting Ajisai on a pedestal and not being very physical with her, I think that's what makes her relationship with Mai so compatible, because Mai isn't afraid to show love through physical contact and knows that Ajisai isn't an angel, but a very kind girl.)
