What's funny is that the MC doesn't really have any meaningful conversations with them either. They each spout their nonsense and get all emotional on him, then profess their love, while he sits there being a generic scrub the whole time. Seriously, 70% of his personality is "m-muh Moka".

The ending was hilarious to me, though, since it turns out he was in love with vampire bitch's mom the whole time.
