I already talked about this episode for a little bit a couple of days ago when I checked out the raw and I have to state once again that I still believe in the Shinichirou x Hiromi pairing. They will not rob me of this I say!

I was a little surprised that Noe’s brother actually tried to blackmail Shinichirou into going out with Noe by saying that he was going to stop going out with Hiromi himself. I don’t know, it’s just that it seemed to me as though he was just going to have one date with her and that was going to be it. I mean, we all know full well that Hiromi doesn’t actually like him anyway, so how long does she intend on keeping this charade going?

From the previews, we just might finally get some information about Hiromi’s past and the story of her mother…or we might not and it’d just end with Hiromi confronting Shinichirou’s mother as another cliffhanger episode. Speaking of which, we also had one of those this time around with Ai’s confession to Shinichirou. It’s a cruel world we live in.
