Rei is annoying, she's the equivalent of a nagging wife unless she's in distress or drunk. Saeko is strong, independent, and humble and respects Takashi. I know she's supposed to be somewhat the epitome of a traditional stereotypical Japanese woman with honor and what not, minus the sadistic side, but for me this makes her the better choice. Had the author started Rei off with less of an annoying and nagging personality despite what Takashi did for her...maaaybe. Plus finding out that she dropped him because he couldn't literally read her mind about what was going on between her, her dad and that teacher annoyed me. She never told him, she just expected him to know and quite frankly that's what wrong with a lot of people today when they get involved with another person in a relationship...they don't know how to express their issues. They just assume that somehow this soul mate stuff will work like magic and my significant other will know what's wrong with me and if they don't then they’re insensitive, selfish, not empathic to my situation. Whatever!! So although Rei and Takashi knew each other longer...she's the type that has taken Takashi for granted and she doesn't deserve him.
