I like the idea of Lala's mom finally being introduced. But since details of her personality are still extremely vague, we don't really know what she's like. She might be very sweet and loving, and might find Rito cute and like to tease him a little. Or she might be horny and erotic on the same level as Momo and Nemesis.

But she's still an extrememely minor character, so her appearances, even after her introduction, will likely be too few to have enough time to teach him anything. A more likely choice would be to have Zastin start whipping the manliness into Rito.

If you want him to stand out more heroically and confident in fights, I believe he already has a few times, in a supporting role kinda way. But if you want him to start winning fights without the aid of the girls, well, I don't think that's gonna happen.

And as for the Harem Plan, I'm aware that everybody is cheering for it to happen successfully. But I'm more realistic than those guys are, and I know that if it does end that way, then it's a pretty lousy and illogical ending for this series. I'm almost confident that the Harem Plan won't work completely for all its candidates, so we can count on Mikan NOT marrying her brother.
