@ winner - It would have been awesome if Manoeri got the role
I was looking for pics of Moe Arai and found this:
I remember seeing Manoeri in a similar photo before. Even the costume is Manoeri-like.
Aki-chan is most of the time annoying but she is pretty cute.
Here she is in a CM with Ryotaro (not sure if he was possessed by Ryuta though)
EDIT:
TV-N JUST RELEASED THE DVD OF THE DECADE NET MOVIES!!!
