if we go by physical appearance and personality, then the three chicks who were attractive were: Mistuki pre-timeskip, Mitsuki post-timeskip, and Akane post-timeskip. Mitsuki and Akane (post-timeskip) were the two main characters woman who were physically attractive and had attractive personalities.
Haruka was never physically attractive nor personality attractive, however, Haruka did have a great rack as it was shown on episode 2 when she and Takayuki were doing it in her room.
In anime, Woman like Haruka, with innocent personalities and sometimes shy, are always meant to lose, like Ryou from Clannad, Kotonoha in School Days, etc. Meaning, woman like Haruka in anime are always involved in a love triangle/harem, but they always lose in the end to the woman with the better personality, thus, we the audience always seem to favor woman with personalities like Mitsuki, Sekai, etc., since they feel more real and lively.
Also, notice how the anime gave tons of nude scenes to Mitsuki, along with dressing very revealing. While Haruka only got that scene on episode 2. Notice how the two scenes when Takayuki and Haruka were both gonna do it, they were either interrupted by Akane on episode 2 or Takayuki stopped after seeing Haruka's scar in the hospital bed. Its because the writers did not want us to see Haruka as a woman.
Even the very first scene on episode 1 was a bootea scene of Mitsuki pulling out a wedgie. The anime made sure to let us know that Mitsuki is the "best girl" by making Mitsuki the most sexxually desirable.
Yes, Takayuki did like Mitsuki in the first episode and not Haruka. However, Takayuki decided to give the relationship with Haruka a chance and he ended up falling in love with Haruka as we see in episode 2. There was even a mention on episode 2 that Mitsuki might have gotten a boyfriend, and Takayuki didnt even care that Mitsuki had gotten one, meaning that Takayuki no longer had feelings for Mitsuki and only cared for Haruka.
But three years without seeing the person you romantically love or hearing their voice is a LONG TIME. Anyone would have moved on, especially Takayuki since he only dated Haruka for like a month or two.
In the end, it made more sense that Takayuki ended with Mitsuki and not with Haruka. AND I LOVE Haruka's explanation in the final episode of why she wanted to break things off with Takayuki: "I fell in love with the Takayuki from three years ago, and not this current Takayuki". I love that scene. Its like seeing a middle school or high school crush or ex years into the future, only to realize that this person standing in front of you is not the one you fell in love with.
And its amazing just how much a woman's affection has on a man, in how as it was shown on episode 5, Takayuki got out of his depression only after Mitsuki kissed him and gave him her bootea.
Now, on to the morals, with cheating and betrayal:
1- Haruka saw Takayuki first and liked him first. She then told Mitsuki (who didnt even know who Takayuki was), to help her and him get together, and Mitsuki agreed. Mitsuki then, after getting to know Takayuki, also developed feelings for him. Here is the thing: Mitsuki and Haruka were close friends. Everyone knows that you dont date or do anything with the person whom your friend or family member had a crush or used to date. THAT IS A HORRIBLE MOVE what Mitsuki did in dating Takayuki or doing anything with him, when her friend/family member was involved with him.
2- Mitsuki had sexx with Shinji and cheated, but lets not forget that Takayuki was making out with Haruka when she was in the hospital bed and almost had sexx with her right then. So they are both at fault.
But if I had to re-write this forum question, it would be: What the heck did any of the girls see in Takayuki, that they are just so weak and always thinking of him? Goodness
