It's not just Nanao/Shunsui ... Kubo seems to have a fixed idea that women in those positions are going to be treated more-or-less that way. Shunsui was just the example ... .
No, no more nice romances for Yukimura. Mizuki was it. As with the real historical Yukimura, he'll make a couple of political marriages. He'll seek out teashop girls (and boys!) for romps, and spend his passions on friendship and clan loyalty rather than romance ... it makes me sad, but nothing else is true to the character. I pair him up in my own fantasies, but it's never more than a temporary amusement and/or comfort.
I've breezed through the first 8 vol. or so of FMA - the Young Lady wanted it. But I need to go back through it more seriously. I like Izumi because she's one of the few examples I've found in manga of an older female character who isn't old (and Shihoudou in SDK doesn't count - she still look like a teenybopper).
