My favorite Key character is of course Mai Kawasumi, although Sayuri comes very close. They would be amazing best friends. Before I was old enough to go to a secondary school (or whatever the foreign equivalents are) I always imagined that a school life like the one Mai, Sayuri and Yuuichi led would be what I aim for. Unfortunately it turned out to be more like Litbus, which is fun and all, but it’s not too memorable… The nostalgia of having a picnic every lunchtime with Mai, Sayuri and Yuuichi is always number one~ I’d totally be BFFs with them if they actually existed.
Favorite character for each Key story.
Kanon: Mai
Air: Hijiri
Clannad: Yukine
Tomoyo After: Kanako
Little Busters: Yuiko
Rewrite: Lucia
Angel Beats: Yusa
I think, taking the size of the cast into consideration, the story with the best main cast is Tomoyo After (of which I liked all of the characters) and the one with the worst is Little Busters (of which I liked very few of the characters.) Angel Beats and Clannad have a lot of bad/undeveloped characters that water down the overall quality of the cast.
