The problem with this series is that I can't hate any of the female leads. I love Noe and I feel sorry for Hiromi and Aiko. I can't make my decision on whom to stick with for now.

In my mind Aiko just sealed her fate with that move, these acts of desperation have a tendency to backfire... I can't recall the last time the girl pulling that move "won." Oh wait I do... there was KGNE... and I guess School Days but she didn't live long enough to enjoy her win so...
Going from first impressions Aiko has always seemed like the odd one out as it's been mainly Hiromi and Noe being focussed on. Shinichiro seems to have never ever considered Aiko as anything more than a friend, so I'm not sure what his response will be. Actually I think he'll probably be conflicted for at least one episode now that he has to deal with his newly minted relationship with Noe while still trying to find closure with his first love. Aiko adds the extra dimension and baggage to spice things up. But you're right KholdStare, it is rather hard to hate any of the girls in this show... besides Shinichiro's mother.

The problem is Shin's personality. We have seen that he is a "good Boy" and being a good boy we can't really predict his way of thinking. the Writers will come with the thing that we expect the least. Nobody was expecting Shin to give in to Jun's demands so fast. the fact that it was so fast and so early has many people getting the flags about Noe's relationship not lasting very long. There is only three ways for Noa and shin to break up. 1. hiromi breaks up with Jun! 2. Noe finds that Shin is going out with her as a deal. 3. Hiromi or Shin find out that they are not half siblings and one of them break with the other and then confess his/her feelings. Aiko is not an obtion for Shin to break up with Noe, maybe Shin will tell Aiko the reason he is going with Noe. Still, Aiko got something from this, she gave her first kiss to Shin and took his. |

I was really fretting over Aiko's chances, then I realized that this is True Tears; a show that refuses to bend to the mundane, worn out anime clichés and actually tries to think outside the box (e.g. Nobuse's confession to Aiko). I feel much better after realizing that. I also realize how much I like Nobuse, so win or lose, I'll feel great (unless Aiko ends up alone, in which case tears will fall).

Then again, Nobuse could just walk in on the end of episode 07.

The anime never made it clear whether or not Aiko and Miyokichi broke up or not. Aiko sure tried to, and Miyokichi was saying strange things to Shin at the end of the episode, but it's pretty over (for the moment), so maybe she won't.

The fact that he walked off like that holding her hand does show that they have not official broke up. Sure that's nothing huge to go by, though i'm almost certain that if they do break up, it'll be shown in the series.

Oh, and I will continue to call him Miyokichi out of respect and consistency.

I'm totally rooting for Aiko-Shin pairing, although I think this is the least probable. She has so many handicaps going against her... dating Shin's best friend, never been "considered" in Shin's eyes, the fact that Shin likes Hiromi, and confessing right after Shin told her he was dating Noe... a lot of obstacles

Though no matter what, Shin's reaction to the kiss is going bad(because he still thinks that her and Nobuse are dating), but at the same time, it will place Aiko in his mind set. He'll probably ask Nobuse about his relationship with Aiko next episode. I'm pretty sure that Aiko will be in a very happy mood next episode. If she ends up with Nobuse, I'll be pissed though. I like both characters but that is like them both accepting a consolation prize. Neither character deserves that. |
