It's there, you just have to look harder and may not pick up certain contexts
if you haven't played the game. The anime follows game closely. After all, this
is anime aired pass midnight and primarily aimed at fans of the original game.

I'm not saying that Mitsuki has always been his dream girl.  Haruka and Mitsuki
both have equal chances in the game. Rather, what I'm saying is he's been
wavering since high school.  And to make it worse, Takayuki is a someone who is
EASILY taken over by his mood.

In the anime's context,  he's someone who neglected his current date  in order
to talk with his friend.. twice.

Although, frankly speaking, it's hard to root for anime Haruka with her
trivialized exposure and character development, although I suspect they will
remedy this situation in the last two episodes.

That being said, episode 10 should be a major turning point of the series.
