Ugh, this episode has made me feel very uneasy about the (unconfirmed) Shinichirou x Hiromi pairing. Why did Shinichirou have to keep thinking about Noe when he had that little date with Hiromi down by the beach? I know I got to see a kiss and all but it’s completely meaningless if Shinichirou ends up being with Noe at the end.
This episode wasn’t a complete disappointment though as it was nice to see Aiko and Miyokichi get back together. It was also a little reassuring to see that Hiromi’s line was for Jun and not Shinichirou. It’s still all very wobbly but I mustn’t give up hope!
The previews for the next episode didn’t really offer anything particularly enlightening but I suppose that might be because they want to try and keep things under wraps. The episode already ended off on a cliffhanger so they might have figured that there’s no need to make their audience feel any worse than they already feel.
