His reaction will be a huge WTF face, and in typical stupid male protagonist syndrome he will dismiss it as if it didn't happen.

Only that this show punched stereotypical events in the face a few episodes ago.

No man! I said that the counter start for Kimikiss, the episode comes out today too! I don't know where you get that I didn't start? You must not frequent the Kimikiss thread, I am a regular there. I was talking about waiting for episodes to get delivered to myu computer so I can watch them. :rolleyes:

Hmmm...interesting episode. Nice sweet moments with Noe and Shin. Episode was going heart warming for a bit, but in the end BAMMMMMM!
Spoiler:
Poor Ai! Shin rejected her, but in a rational way it seems. Now they got an awkward situauition which is going to take some time to fix. Shin being dumb and totally making the matter worse by avoiding Ai. Nobuse still hasn't given up....wow what a lover boy.
Noe is really letting all her emotions flow out towards Shin. Was pretty nice.
Hiromi seems to be befriending Jun. I though Shin's mom had eased up on Hiromi but I guess I was wrong. I bet towards the end when Hiromi confronted Shin's mom about the picture, she must of felt bad and now seeing what an awful person she has been.
Hiromi is definitely taking comfort or using Jun for all he's worth now. Wow...what an unpleasant expression from both Shin and Hiromi when they made eye contact when she drove by on Jun's bike.
Next episode looks to be great. Lots of drama/fighting. Things seem to really be heating up now. Hiromi seems to be or attempt to make a bad choice with Jun......striping.....sex for comfort......I'm sure OR I HOPE Jun turns her down, if anything did happen it would devastate Shin and make Hiromi out to be like what Shin's mom thinks of her (like mother like daughter type of thing). Shin was fighting...WHY? And who was the girl he was fighting in front of? Was is Hiromi or Noe? Looked like Hiromi since we couldn't see Noe's shoes, or they just stopped it there so we had to guess.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH......I'm dying for the next episode already....grrr IF SHE HAS SEX I'M GOING TO TOTALLY LOSE ALL RESPECT AND LIKING FOR HER......or just be completely frustrated anyways. Sex is good and all, but under the conditions she attempts to have it is WRONG!

Wow awesome episode, still it didn't make it all the way in the scale because it was mostly about dating. I give it a 9/10
As it has been said, if you had not watch the episode you shouldn't be here, but Out of courtesy to the people accustomed to the spoiler tags I will tag my comments.
Spoiler:
Well, Shin tells Aiko the line of death, he never thought of her that way and can't think of her that way because she is his childhoodfriend and like a sister and she is also Nobuse's girl. Those lines now have doomed Nobuse and Aiko. He tells her that he will forget that the kiss ever happened. We see this as a flashback from Aiko, and she drops to the floor with tears. Shin is agonizing about what he is doing.
At school Nobuse asks Shin if he is going with him to Aiko's place. He tells him he is going on a date, and nobuse asks with whom, he tells with Noe. Noe and Shin going on a date to different places and talk about things. Nobuse goes to Aiko's store, and with a signal ask if he can see her today, with a signal she tells him that she can't, Expect to see much more of this.
that same day, when Shin has his first date with Noe, hiromi see them together, and her friend comments about them going out, hiromi tells her that it seems it is so. Hiromi has a kind of dream and see Shin in the same path that she saw him when young, when she moves toward him, she see noe with him. In the morning when she goes to the bathroom she tells Shin is getting along with Noe and then comments on his morning hair.
That day Hiromi has a date with Jun, and he takes her to a basketball court. They play some free throwing with Jun giving her a huge handicap. They eventually talk about other things and about Jun's sister. This ends with Hiromi calling him a "siscon". Hiromi asks Jun why he is going out with her, as Hiromi is able to discern that he doesn't have feelings for her. He tells her the true, of course he doesn't tell her the part about if Shin doesn't go with Noe he would break up, but Hiromi deduce it. When she tells him about the mutaul breaking if one of them break, he tells that it will be very incovenient if they broke up due for obvious reasons (Shin will break up with Noe, if Hiromi breaks with Jun), So Jun tells Hiromi that he will do anything she asks.
Hiromi and Jun meet Shin and Noe at school, and Noe and hiromi have a little chat. Noe comments that her fight with her was the first time she did such thing. Hiromi comments about how her cute smile was able to go through shin's heart. Jun and Shin each comment that the other seem to be getting along well. Hiromi goes back home and when she gets inside the front yard, she see a pile of ashes in the snow, she found the picture of her mother with the cut out face.
Hiromi tells Shin's mother that she didn't want to come and live here and that she was wrong coming. She runs and goes to Jun's house. He asked him to take her somewhere, at first Jun is reluctant due to the snow, but when she reminds him that he said that he would do anything she ask to keep going out with her, he asks her where she wants to go. She asked him to take her to a town where there is not snow. On the way , they pass Shin and Noe and we see Shin's worried face.
Well, With this thing it is not longer a 3 way race. Aiko is OUT! It is now only Noe and Hiromi.
I knew Aiko chances were small, but I didn't expect her to be out of the race so soon.

Spoiler for episode 9 preview:
If she has sex with Jun, I'm gonna kill someone.
Spoiler for above:
I'm hoping it's just a misleading preview clip. The audio and video usually don't match together. With that said, Shin's mother is making me hate her more with each episode. Her abuse by repeatedly cutting down Hiromi's self-image combined with Hiromi's pain in seeing Shin with Noe is making her try to escape from everything. If Jun takes advantage of her, he deserves unspeakable suffering. Hope he turns out to be a decent guy who does'nt do such things. At any rate, he's not helping Hiromi by setting Shin up with Noe while knowing that Hiromi likes Shin. I would like to see when Noe finds out that Jun is the one who pushed for Shin to go out with her.
Spoiler for guesses about preview clip for episode 9:
My guess is either Hiromi will stop herself or Jun won't go through with taking advantage of her distressed state of mind. Or that could somehow be a totally misleading clip. The fight Shin has with some random unknown dude might be because of a scandalous rumor about Hiromi and he is defending her honor, and that could be Hiromi who walks in after the fight started. Shin is going to confront his mother over what she told Hiromi, not sure how much he can accomplish yet. Noe starts to understand the situation between Shin and Hiromi.

Spoiler for ep8:
Until the end, it felt like a rather slow episode, especially compared to the previous episodes. But it was still good.
Hah... So Shinichirou ran away from Aiko after the kiss...
Unlike Shinichirou, at least Miyokichi is handling things better.
I guess it's nice they put an insert of the OP, but it proved to be more distracting than anything else.
Noe has started to sound like Yorito now... She isn't paper, is she?...
So that's what that scene was from the preview. She woke up crying...
In the meantime, Shinichirou's mom and dad treat Hiromi in the exact opposite way...
During the shouting between Hiromi and Shinichirou's mom, Shinichirou's mom seemed to have said "Nee"... Is that "Nee-san" are something? Is Hiromi's mom Shinichirou's mom's sister?
The end was another cliffhanger... Hiromi leaves on Jun's bike with Jun and Noe and Shinichirou sees them...
Preview: Can't really fly real well; @!#%#$@# NO WAY!! What are you doing, Hiromi!? :twitch:
Seems like things are getting bad again...
If Jun sleeps with Hiromi... AAAGGHH! I'll skip the dagger game and go straight to killing him! :frustrated:

I think Hiromi was returned home by the police, she was stripping in the house and the person next to her is Shin's mother. This episode is so painful for Aiko :(. I now for sure don't think that she will end with Nobuse because one of the reasons Shin gave her he can't go out with her is NOBUSE. If he had just told her he didn't see her that way because she was like a sister to him, maybe she could have moved on, including Nobuse was a BAD move, but it was actually the truth.
+1 for Shin's character. He is decisive when it needs be.
Spoiler for episode 8 specific:
He told Ai that he can't do this because he has never seen her anything more than a Osananajimi, and that she has Nobuse as her boyfriend. He says sorry and moves on. How Ai will make her comeback is still up in the air. The episode is mostly about Noe and Hiromi.
Noe-fans will enjoy this episdoe a lot. Hiromi-fans should be confused more than ever. Hiromi-fans will also cheer when she very nicely sums up Jun as
Spoiler for episode 8 specific:
Sis-con or as in Sister Complex. That got him blushing.
Spoiler for episode 9 preview:
Looks to be Shin will fight the bad rumor Hiromi sure to create when she ventured on a bike ride (on snow!!!.. even I'm smart enough not to ride my bike on snow.) with Jun.
I'll be looking forward to episode 9. :)

Spoiler for preview:
I am guessing the reason Shin is fighting the guy is that guy said something bad about Hiromi. Most likely related to seeing Hiromi with Jun. I just can't see Shin fighting because someone said something bad about Noe. Even Shin had said Noe is weird.

You sure that Shin's mom? That shirt is misleading so is that clip. That shirt in the preview looks like Jun's shirt....

Hmm... the person next to Hiromi has the same shirt color as Jun's in the shots before they got on the bike to ride.
If we take Shin's mom's word as a truth, maybe the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. :uhoh:

Actually, after taking a closer look it does'nt look like Jun's shirt. His shirt is a darker shade and has the line where the sleeve connects to the body. The shirt in the preview clip is lighter in color and does'nt have that line. Plus the shirt in the preview clip is a little baggier while Jun's shirt has a more narrow cut. Intentionally misleading preview clip. Good, I don't have to kill Jun now.
Could be that she was taken home for some reason by the police (it looks like nighttime when the police car is there). She's probably wet and cold so that's why she's stripping down. Since I don't think it is Jun's shirt, it could be Shin's mother since the shirt is on the baggy side. I think Jun took her somewhere but she might have run off afterwards before the police picked her up. Just a guess.
Edit: golthin's guess that they were stopped by the police because it's considered dangerous to ride a motorcyle in the snow at night is a better guess.
