yea everyone says hiromi looks cute in the yukata. true but whatever noe wears is cuter > hiromi =P lots of people going for the basic ending i know why... most anime is always like these kind of ending main lead ends with the childhood friend or the girl that shows first in the anime. I think is boring not much different with watching some old animes with the same kind of ending. even though the storyline is better than others and better animations. so people prefer basic>rarity. but i prefer rarity>basic and yet i'm still posting the same comment since like the first few eps LOL. guess i'm bored...

RARITY FTW

I don't think you should just put all Hiromi-fans in a box and label it with "basic>rarity". I'm not a fan of typical and predictable storylines, but I still just like Hiromi better than Noe.
It is not always the girl that knows the maincharacter longer, who gets him. In many anime it is the younger and more annoying girl that wins in the end. So it is a matter of perspective if Noe is the "good and rare" ending or maybe also just a pretty worn out "basic" way.

I think if Ai had gotten Shin, THAT would be a really rare ending though. XD

true you have a point there,everyone have their own perspective of basic and rarity. But in these kind of anime i think a Noe ending is the rarity type because is kinda obvious Hiromi is like the main lead and Noe is second. Well this is still my perspective. Ohh yeah can you name those animes that the younger and more annoying girl that wins in the end cause i might want to watch them xD because i'm bored and wants a larger anime list lol.
but Ai is not like a main lead in my point of view she is more like a supporting character because there was not much of her past or a long description about her in the anime. is still my perspective but that would be a rare ending too but is most likely not going to be that way...

I have seen so many anime/manga where the childhood friend gets shafted in favor of the mysterious/weird girl..... most recent example being ef a tale of memories from Fall 07. I really don't care about character archetypes, I go for what I think is the best, in the case of True Tears it's the childhood friend, in the case of ef it was the mysterious girl.

Well the only one who hasn't kissed Shin so far is Noe (and Jun..but...anyways)..so does that mean..an epic ending?

Are you sure? I think they kissed each other in the snow scene with the rocks. O_o

Hiromi lied! She said she liked number 4, THEN SHE SAID SHE ALWAYS LOVED SHIN! :o

Anyways, i'm a NoeXShin fan, but it can go either way. :(

Ok, I was wondering if I should post any examples since they would count as spoilers so I just use the spoiler tag.
Actually there aren't THAT many on my mind... ^^' I'm not too much into this romance-only anime types. Anyway some examples where not the childhoodfriend (or at least the one who knows the main character better) wins but the "new" one.

You know, Shin knew both Ai and Hiromi longer then Noe. So I'm guessing you would also be pissed if he went out with Ai too right? Noe just doesn't fit right as a g/f for him. From the beginning of the series shes acted like middle school girl. In fact I even thought she was till I noticed she went to the same school as him.

Of course she lied, she was angry and hurt and her friend was talking about Shin the whole time. So to not talk about Shin anymore she lied and said that she liked Jun instead. A good hint that show that she was hurt and angry at Shin was that she told her friend to never mention Shin ever again.

If you don´t care about a person then there not much reason to say that you will never hear his or her´s name again.

Exactly.
Now that she knows he is not her brother she did actually already alot.


Hiromi has done the most out of everybody in the series, for her to lose would be a tragedy. Quoting "b0nyb0y" a poster on AnimeSuki...

b0nyb0y said:
I'm more inclined to believe that Shin is her goal, not that she's really dependent on Shin. For the past episodes, once the siblings issue got cleared out, and Hiromi realized Shin's longing for her (by a hug after the accident), you can see that she's changed from a passive person to quite an active one. Out of all 4 of them (Shin, Jun, Noe, and her), she's the most active at cleaning up all this relationship mess. In fact, even when we look at Noe, though she did indeed helped Shin realized himself, she still hasn't contributed anything to directly address this relationship mess yet.

And don't forget that Hiromi's taken actions all on her own, without being wishy washy, without asking anyone what to do. She did break up with Jun despite his protests. She moved out just so that she'll be independent and be able to approach Shin as an 'outsider' (i.e., not as part of Shin's family). She even did the kiss so that Shin will know how she feels. To me, all of that undeniably show how strong she can be once she broke free from her emotional deadlock.

So, what I'm trying to say is, she did all she can already. On the other hand, though he promised to "do things properly", Shin hasn't resolved anything yet. That might be the main reason why she became frustrated enough to make her final move: a straight talk with Noe that she won't lose Shin to Noe now that he made a promise with her.

Just think about it, if you did all you can but the guy still couldn't behave in a way that can assure you (in fact, all he did was to avoid talking directly about the matter, and still haven't acted out his own feelings/intentions), would you feel insecure? I think what we need the most (for Hiromi's part) isn't about Hiromi becomes less reliant on Shin. Rather, it should be about Shin finally makes a step toward her, since Hiromi has made every single darn step on her side already. It's definitely time for him to make a move; whether to accept or reject Hiromi, the next episode should be about Shin taking actions.

I'm pretty late watching this, but oh well
Before this episode i sorta liked Noe's brother, but now he's just... messed up. Hiromi is being a jerk, i don't like her as much ever since she admitted that she liked Shin. I liked Shin x Noe best.

Before this episode i joked around saying that Shin should just pick someone and have all the others die... but after the end of this episode i feel awful about saying that, even though i didn't mean it.

I just wonder when did Hiromi and Shin started going out? Hiromi just said that she is his girlfriend. In the last episode, Hiromi just kissed Shin, right?! Don't tell me it's already understood that they're now dating in that kiss?

AFAIK, Noe is still going out with Shin. And they're not yet officially broke up, right?! Hahaha! It looks like this episode to me is rushed, but oh well. Since, almost this is the best episode so far. It's so touching and heartfelt, I can't ignore the fact that this is really a good series. XD

I just silently spoke to myself "idiot" when Noe just fell from the tree. XD

The incest scene was pretty intense but I'm glad Noe backs off.

I predicted that from way back in episode 2. That hug was just too suspecious.

Those were the words that came out of my mouth, several times, during this episode. It was so tense the way through; love rivals, incest, suicide, etc.

I don't think she had any suicidal thoughts when she made the jump though T__T
This episode was indeed intence. It also was my favorite episode of the enitre series. I think the last one will be my most favorite though.

By the way, doesn't this anime reminds you of Air and Kanon?
The whole concept of "sky" and "flying", and a similar setting at the beach. And this episode, seems awefully similar to Kanon:

The incest scene ruined what was pretty much a flawless anime up until that point lol. Unless it is a hentai or something you really don't have to go there; I'm just glad they didn't take it any further. Was it just me or did anyone else laugh when she tried to fly out of the tree? She is a spastic lol But a cute one.

Great episode. We still arent sure who he ends up with.

He sure knows how to hurt Hiromi though.

Now THAT is a cliffhanger. I didn't expect Jun to confess to Noe, but I'm glad they stopped there. Too bad for Jun, that his love is forbidden love, but that talk with Noe will allow him to move on from his obsession with her. I was surprised to see Hiromi suddenly become possessive of Shinichiro from her confrontation with Noe, though.

It's annoying to see Shinichiro being indecisive, but I guess this was done to leave the option (or the illusion) of a Noe ending. Now a Hiromi ending is not looking so clear anymore, but it's still a likely end, since a Noe ending will just throw away the developments at the end of episode 10.

I like Noe and I am rooting for her ending, but as Shinichiro was in the last few episodes, it was clear that Hiromi was the one in his heart. When he makes his decision there should be no room for any doubt left. If there's one thing I know for sure, this isn't a romance that will have an inconclusive ending.

Only one episode left, so if Noe survive then it is a Shin x Noe ending.

DeathfireD said:
I agree, why are people saying what Hiromi did was over the top or bad? Shes only doing what anyone else would do. Noe, is acting like a 12 year old like she always has and Hiromi is just trying to make her relationship with Shin clear.

I think the next ep will be about Shin bringing closure to his relationship with Noe. This ep he said he wanted to show her the finished book. So I think next ep he will either show her or tell her the whole story and then end their relationship wile shes recovering from her tree dive, which will probably make her cry. If he had any intentions of braking up with Hiromi he would have talked to her before going to see Noe, when she mentioned she told her to stop bothering us. So I'm still going with a Hiromi x Shin ending. If he ends up with Noe he's a dumb ass. She acts way to immature and has some mental issues.

And why are people surprised with Jun liking his sister? We found out about this in one of the beginning episodes...

Yup, I agree, that is why he mustn't end up with Noe.
