The point isn't that she's dependent on him as a person, it's about her relying on him as a character. Her whole role in the series is 'Kiyotaka's tool' 'Kiyotaka's partner' 'Kiyotaka's girlfriend.' She has no significant role outside of being Kiyotaka. Horikita has Kiyotaka as an teacher and motivator. But she also has Kushida and Manabu to deal with. Ichinose has a strong relationship with him, but she also has her entire class to lead. Sakayanagi has a unique bond with him, but she also has rivalries with Katsuragi, Ryuune, Ichinose, and even Tsukishiro. Shiina has Ryuune, Ishizaki, Ichinose, and even Mii-chan. No other character in the series depends so much on someone to derive value, fans, and screentime from. Only Kei does. She's a horribly written character because of it.
