Relax guys, this isn't a shipping war. I may have my own personal preference towards which I ship more, but that doesn't mean I don't ignore canon facts. Remember none of the ships will become canon, no matter how much we want them to be. Stop fighting over Mako/Haru Rin/Haru and appreciate the characters as CHARACTERS. Obviously both Rin and Makoto are extremely important to Haruka, and no, I don't think one is more "important" than the other. Makoto is Haruka's best friend, and very close to him, but that does not mean his life revovles around him, or that he'd collapse if he left him [(as others implied) This is obviously shown when Haruka moves to Tokyo. Yes Makoto is still in Tokyo, but the director herself even states he doesn't see him as much as people seem to think he does. Haruka has his own life to live, it does NOT revolve around anyone but himself). Haruka is his own person, and he could most indefinitely live without both Makoto and Rin. However, they both mean a lot to him, and support and inspire him in many ways, equaling their importance to him. Stop fighting over which is better, and appreciate their equal importance in his life.
