@兵藤 一誠: Yeah, I've noticed on some places like Tv Tropes that it's not an uncommon thing for Akeno to be a bit higher on the harem scale for some fans. I do wish more fanfics went this route, so many seem to always focus on Rias being the main girl, even if they're AUs.

@TheUltimatePawn & Crimson: I agree, Asia's really only second now in joining the harem. She did have the spot during atleast up to Volume 4, going by Akeno's comment about being third, but Akeno had two volumes more to take that spot from her by the time Asia actually confessed.
