User blog comment:Oppaichan/Rito and Lala still engaged?/@comment-1290686-20140107041924/@comment-7948498-20140107045530

From Rito's perspective, he loves Lala, but he also loves Haruna. He doesn't know what to do about it. Lala says he can marry both of them. Then Rito says that polygamy is illegal in Japan, but Lala tells him that marrying Lala puts him above Earth customs, so he really can marry both of them. Rito thinks that she is being too open-minded, and still doesn't know what to do next. That's pretty much as far as the so-called engagement has gone for him. Is that really not a big enough "No we are not engaged" statement?

In a way, Rito is not much closer to marrying Lala than he is to marrying Haruna.
