He won me over immediately with that "bribe" scene in his office coupled with the attempt to recruit Miki. And it just got better from there. Also, I like that he's short for an anime dude. I really am tickled by that.
2) NO ONE. He fails at romance. Completely.
3) No. Not gonna say "Mamiya." My head hurts now. Now, if we're speaking what-ifs... if he'd managed to recruit Miki, that would have been way interesting. And if he and Utena would have been able to join forces in some fashion instead of being like matter and anti-matter, that might have been interesting too.
4) Mikage is awesome as a character, but the "Nemuro" side of his being gives him necessary depth and context, IMO, and I don't feel that gets properly appreciated. That's who he actually IS. Or was. Or...
5) No follow-through elsewhere in the series, dammit. And I still don't know how I feel about his manga sidestory.
