Huh back when I was 16 I'd say most people I knew had friends and hung out at each other's. I mean, sure, when you're a kid/teenager you can be friends one day and then 2 months later no longer like them anymore due to some stupid fight or argument, but it's a lot easier to get a social group when you're younger due to something as simple as "he likes the same cartoons as I do". It's much easier to quickly get acquainted people of your age bracket when you're 18 than it is when you're 40.

The FW series doesn't even sexualize April that much. You gotta really be paying attention to notice suggestive shots. Then again, I watch anime, so any possible fanservice that the FW series has has nothing on your average anime.

At any rate, she does have nice breasts and all, but somehow in many versions she has no friends or apparent love interests.

Well looks aren't everything. And she doesn't sem to be the type of person who puts herself out there. In the FW series Irma and the Turtles are her only friends, pretty much. No way Vernon or Burne could be godo love interests for her. Not to mention she seems too career driven to care about marriage and dating.

Love and attraction work in odd ways. So many times I've seen couples that made me wonder why one of the parties was attracted to the other.
I haven't read much of Mirage, but on the 2k3 series I think that couple worked out well. It would not have worked out well in the FW series, though.
