Romance is a staple of the series, along with mecha-action... since the power of love and human beings is what drives the series and OVA's, from the first (Super Dimensional Fortress Macross) to the most recent which was a prequel (Zero). Personally, I couldn't care less who ends up with Alto, if anyone does - the romance is a part of it, but it doesn't BREAK the series if it goes one way or another. The problem right now is Ranka NEEDS Alto, rather than wanting Alto to be there as it makes things much better... which means that, until she can break free of the dependency, they can't be equals or partners. Currently, Sheryl's 'leading' the race because she has the same confidence Alto has with regards to herself and her place in life, which means she can interact with him on a more mature level (if only slightly). Once Ranka finds herself, the way Sheryl had to way back when (as she hinted to Ranka in Ep 3), things should go much more smoothly for her, even with Leon's interference.
