At one point, Futaba exclaims, "It is just like the arranged marriage interview!" and makes this "I'm happy and excited" gesture (a substitute screencap, sorry):

She does not seem in any way uncomfortable with the concept, just the opposite in fact — as long as the marriage is arranged with the man she selected herself.

I think the bride's input (if it occurs) makes Japanese system different, from, for example, the Muslim system, where the girl is but a slave for sale by her family (I'm sure ton of people are going to tell me how wrong I am; I only know how it was and is practiced in Central Asian countries.).

Alas, the input is sometimes limited, e.g. in Mahoraba the choice is whom and not if:

In Dual, it's even worse:

In the same Dual things progress well enough for us to see the interview, the kind of which made Futaba so charmingly excited (unfortunately, no screencap). It seems not unduly ritualized and is not an empty formality either. The lady who carries out the arrangement sits on the bride's side of the table, as I observed. Not sure what it signifies though. All in all, not entirely what androphobic American intelligenzia makes out of it.

UPDATE: Also, Kyouju.
