I too am a HiShi fan but for the benefit of the doubt we can't 100% say yet Shin didn't develop any feelings for Noe. I don't think Shin did it out of malice and I don't think if he didn't have any feelings that he would go out with Noe for fun's or the bet's sake. Even if it was for Hiromi's sake he was still hesitant until the whole bro sis thing.


He was against it until the day at that basketball game where he heard Hiromi said that she like Jun (And she only said that because she was hurt by seeing Shin and Noe together and wanted her friend to stop mention Shin). He actually believed it and decided to give up on Hiromi after that.

It was first then he actually agreed to go out with Noe. So i don´t think he had any feelings for her when he started to go out with her.

He is a person who are very slow when it comes to other peoples feelings. If he had thought a little over what Hiromi said on that day he would have understood that she was hurt by what she saw and made up a excuse to get her friend to stop talking about him.

But i feel sorry for Noe. If Hiromi wasn't there i would have wanted to see Shin and Noe together instead.


umm.. i think you got the order wrong... Jun didn't ask him to go out with noe till ep 4 and the ep that hiromi said she likes jun was in ep 3. And we don't know for sure that Hiromi was hurt we just assume she was hurt and made up that lie. Actually i don't think Shin is that slow.. shin believed Hiromi that she likes jun because since the beginning Hiromi is being so cold to shin giving him the cold shoulder to everything he does or whatever he does. Hiromi barely talks to Shin and keeps everything to herself when shin tries to know her better. that would give anyone impressions that this girl does not like you. So you can't really blame shin for not noticing other people's feelings.

Can you or any Noe fanboy answer my question on page 3 about Shin's (lack of) romantic interest in Noe?


Remember the whole sequence where Shin's hair was messed up and he said something like, "This is what happiness looks like."?

Anyway, I've recovered a little bit from my initial shock. Hiromi wasn't nearly as awful in this episode, she somewhat redeemed herself for her past mistakes. A Shin x Hiromi ending wouldn't kill me, even if I'd prefer a Noe ending.

As the show is currently headed, I'll probably give it an 8, but a Noe ending would make it a very solid 8. Possibly a 7 if I REALLY dislike what happens in the end (my overall average score is 4.7, so don't think that I dislike this show).

You would rate it SEVEN?
Maybe I was watching only average Anime the last years, or maybe Im too generous with my voting but True Tears is definitely an 8, at the very least. I know its all subjective opinion, but just look at the discussions it caused. We have around 80 people using the poll for this series. Other very good series like i.e. "Wolf and Spice" have only half of that amount. So True Tears surely moves a lot of people.

Its definitely something standing out of the "anime-average-croud"!

Seeing as Naikou's average score is 4.7 I think that True Tears has just been proven good ;] Some people are harsher at rating than others.

I have to admit True Tears is far more popular than I thought it would be! Maybe it could spawn a second season? Dunno if I want that though, could completely ruin the story. Although I really want my Shin x Noe ending T___T

and that all goes back to the point of Hiromi thinking they where related and avoiding him. The exact same thing that happened to Shin when he found out. He suppressed his feelings and went out the the closest girl to him at the time. All the drama that happened between just caused him to stay with Noe more but it didn't necessarily mean he liked/loved her. It felt more like Noe was just someone there for Shin as a really good friend.

That may be true but my point on that statement is shin is not that slow of a person i think... again wouldn't you feel like this person being so cold towards you and all, might not have feelings for you? Unless you have some kind of super senses and knows everything that she is doing this because of might be related reason..

But he didn't start thinking about Noe as a possible g/f till he found out Hiromi "liked" Jun and it wasn't till he found out about Hiromi possibly being his sister that he started thinking about Noe even more so as a g/f. But ya I have no argument with you about him thinking Hiromi may not like him at the start. He seemed pretty confused about it until she tells him they may be brother and sister. After that it shows he understands now why she acts so cold. As for liking Noe, it wasn't really love. It was more like a close friendship in my opinion. Almost like you having a close friend of the opposite sex that you've known since 1st grade or something.

yes and i kinda agree with you on the Shin did not like Noe at first. But when he woke up with the strange hair and a joyful face shows me some impression of him feeling happy because he found someone he likes or you can still say found a friend that cares for him. lets end this argument here =)

Okay, for the episode, it's just hell of an "Oh, okay. So that's how it is." kind of expression to me.

First of all I have to say that I love the prev of this show, the people that talk there talk kind of soft and the music, they make it so peacefull!

I don't like that much Hiromi, noe is way better or at least for me. It's because Noe has a magic you can see in her, you can see her feelings, but Hiromi is like the opposite!

For me if Hiromi is the one that ends with shin I will kill myself, not really but seriously Noe is the best for him, I saw some clues on the prev of what is going to happen but I hope I am wrong.

Really nice episode. Aiko breaks up with Miyokichi and says she got over Shinchiro. Noe however still likes him however, but knows his heart is somewhere else.
The scene in the end was also pretty nice and dramatic. =)

Very nice episode. The last scene is beautiful and Hiromi's decision is actually good for all. Now Shin and her can actually have a relationship, which would be awkward if they lived together.

Hope Shin settle's things with Noe in a right way.

It's time to throw away all pretense. At this point, the ending has already been decided. It's going to be a Hiromi ending. After a scene like that with Shinichiro chasing after Hiromi on a bicycle like crazy, I admit that even I think it's nuts not to, even if I like Noe MUCH more. It's disappointing, but with Shinichiro as he is now, it just won't work with Noe anymore.

Glad to know that Aiko is moving on now, and so is Miyokichi. Suddenly, Miyokichi ending up with Noe doesn't seem so unthinkable anymore, though it's still far from likely, even if I think Miyokichi is a good guy. The only anime where I've seen such a change of partners happen is in ef - memories.

Jun has become an obstacle now, because of his obsession over making his sister happy, even if he knows that his feelings for Hiromi is just as fake as her love for him is. Shinichiro properly breaking up with Noe might make it easier for Jun to let go of Hiromi.

Hiromi gets more points, which is one again a huge plus.

I agree that it's obvious. The preview is referring to Jun. If you think about it, there are only two real conflicts left in the series, who Shinichiro ends up with, and Jun's obsession with Noe's happiness. We have three episodes left, so they have to start to deal with it soon, since Shinichiro won't have a definitive choice until the final episode (although it should be obvious at this point that Hiromi wins out and Noe regains her tears.)

The writers seem to be a little bit unpredictable though, so they could totally through me for a loop and bring in some new conflict, but with how they show Ai and Noe at the end, it should be obvious what the ending is.


I don't like Jun at all. After he refused to break up with Hiromi, it made me think that he's the manipulative type of guy who gets what he wants at any cost. Even if it means hurting someone. Next episode looks interesting.
