Ecchi doesn't bother me as long as it's a reasonable part of the story. Tsugumomo, for instance, has so much ecchi that it detracts from the plot. For Kanojo mo Kanojo, the nature of the story pretty much dictates that ecchi is going to happen - they're trying to work out how to have a polygamous relationship, after all, and sex is part of that. Honestly, they should have explored that part of it more in my opinion.

As far as the ending -

spoilerno, not really. I feel like Marika should have been a side character/occasional nemesis at best. The way she took over things detracted from the story - and there was plenty of areas the author could have chosen to explore instead. I feel like there was a lot more potential for the story. But kudos to the author for not giving us a "this won't work, let Saki have him" ending.

I dont mind ecchi either, I just thought it was hilarious how far it went for a shounen, the bath scene near the end was almost straight up hentai.

spoilerI agree on the ending. I too didn't like Marika, too forceful. But how she got bulldozed at the end, despite being the most stubborn character at the end was disappointing.
