That's completely out of character for this show, though. The other girls can't use Shingo as a crutch; they have to let him find his happiness as they seek their own, having learned from what their experiences have taught them. It would also really cheapen what we were just shown in the past episode, almost as if to negate it, and for no reason. I think that rather than thinking about what other anime in the past have done and try to predict some sort of change based on formulas and patterns, it's better to consider more closely what they've been doing in this show. Or at the very least, don't base your expectations primarily on shounen harem comedies. I would say the one and only romantic pairing for this show is set in stone; there is no more ambiguity or room for any change or variation now.
