Eh, it's hard to say.

I liked Rika x Keiichi before, but most of their interactions feel like they go "your hundreds years of experience don't matter, you're just a young girl and there's much you don't know yet", rather than her hundred years being part of the relationship, they're just treated as an obstacle she has to get over with because they don't really count.

There's this story in an anthology where Rika post-Saikoroshi is burning away the poems she wrote during the loops since she has decided to move away from all that and they only symbolize suffering, Keiichi ends up convincing her against it, by saying they're actually proof of the love she had for the club and everyone. But, yet again, even in a story where the message is that she should accept all of herself rather than deny part of her life the whole structure is that she's still immature and needs to be guided by someone else.

It kind of feels like the crazy Rika x Satoko stuff is the only way you don't get Rika in a relationship doesn't have as basis downplaying or rejecting most of her existence.
