Well, I imagine that Lala's mother is very kind and gentle, and if she finds that Rito is a very good person and entrusts her daughters to him, it would finally push to become more open and decisive with Lala and Haruna. But I don't really know what's her view with the harem plan.

Heheh. "Independable". What's that? Is it "independent" and "dependable" combined? It's amazing how you can combine two words and end up with a word that's the opposite of both! Well, anyways, I never watched Cat Planet Cuties. But from what I can tell, the only decent harem ending is either with a small number of girls, or the main guy doesn't officially end up with anyone, but simply stays in touch with them all as friends.

As for Rito, he has far too much respect for women to really "collect" them in a harem. One of the best things about him is that he is very honest and sincere with girls, and he wouldn't half-heartedly love any girl and expect her complete love. But if he tries to love such a large number of girls, he will have a hard time loving them all equally and sincerely.

It would become too easy to just find the next girl, love her too, and add her as well. It's like he's one wife's husband only half the times, and the other times he's with another wife. You might think it's easy to be everybody's husband at the same time, without really dividing his time for anyone, but I seriously don't think any woman would like to sleep in the same bed as her husband together with half a dozen wives who are practically strangers to her.

Second, most of the girls would not settle for being second best the way Momo would. They will inevitably start feeling insecure knowing that if Rito can't choose everyone, then he wouldn't choose her. The competition would be too unsolvable. The only way a harem would logically work is if the girls have a close and trusting relationship with each other, like sisters. If it was between Lala, Momos, and maybe Haruna, then sharing Rito's love equally might not be too difficult. Whatever the case, the number's got to be small. You see, love is kind of like favoritism. If he really loves everybody, then he doesn't really love anybody.

Fans might support the harem plan because that's probably what they would have wanted to happen to them in Rito's position.

Anyway, sorry for long post.
