I find my strongest negative emotional reactions to characters are to the ones who bring other girls into the conflict. I don't mind the girls who have issues with Sensei (Yumi, Maya (especially before their true connection became clear), for example) - it's the ones like Kirin and Nodoka who fuck with the other girls that I really grow to dislike. I didn't like Yumi at first, not because of how she treated Sensei, but because of how she treated Futaba. Once Yumi apologized and stopped insulting Futaba, she became much better in my eyes, even if she still pushes Sensei away.
My strongest overall emotional reaction has been to Io - she's exactly the kind of girl I would have...not fallen for, really, but wanted to help/fix when I was that age. We'd have gone to the amusement park so fast...
