@ D a m i e n ~ Shin, Hiromi, Nr.4, Miyokichi etc have either self-inflected-problems or a complex situation. Aiko has both! But to be honest I don't think that's the answer to your question. Situations like that of Hiromi have been pretty clear from the get go, but the Ai x Shin relationship simply build up in the recent episodes out of what appeared earlier to be mostly a sibling relationship, with silly comments like your older them me by a year etc.

That's to say, they didn't travel to the giants nest to find the golden goose chicken in one episode, like with Shin and Nae, but instead stretched the surprise over at least 2, if not 3-4 episodes. I think a lot of people might have enjoyed that style of story telling better ...hence the little plus in discussion here.
