You know, the characters seem very reminiscent of the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Shinichirou totally reminds me of Kyon and Noe is kinda like Haruhi.

Haha! Not really, this reminds me of CLANNAD. Maybe because of the mystery in-puns and Shin being Tomoya and Nobusa being Sunohara. Hahaha! LOL! And I really just want to see more Noe. N/MOE! LOL!

You forgot to mention about Kakagami's bitchy mom.

I like the new developments... they make the series more interesting for me.
I look forward to more.

Noe's very funny, I'm really looking forward to some more of her screentime in the next ep.

Agreed! She's the cutest as well ^^
As of now my favorite characters from this are Noe and Hiromi... the rest aren't very interesting though... :(

Omg I seriously both love and hate True Tears at the same time. How can I not watch the next episode straight away after that ending. I prefer if Shinichiro ends up with Ai but I cant see that happening. Hiromi is too bland imo.

5/5 episode. I have high hopes for the series now, I really hope it doesnt disappoint.

Lol, to that ending, the reaction of the faces O.o.I guess Hiromi keeps calm somehow to pretend that she doesn't love him.

Hiromi pwned herself at the end.
"Whoops."

Hopefully everything turns out okay.
I'm also curious about Ai and her feelings towards Shinchirou.

Ai-chan sure is cruel. It looks like she is only together with Nobuse to be close to Shin'ichiro... At least that's what they were implying with the whole "I understand why Hiromi wanted to be Noe's friend" scene.

great episode! finally things are heating up for real


the ending with hiromi's talk was very well done, but here is how i see it.

hiromi actually does love shinichiro. she is simply in denial and does not know how to control it. how is this known?

after living for how long in that house with shinichiro, all of a sudden she takes an interest into Noe (who superficially looks like she likes shin). in addition, hiromi actively denies the incident in the past at the festival. if she did not love shinichiro, she would have no reason for not "remembering it" when asked.

great stuff, very well done, and looking forward to the next ep!!

I'm a bit confused why Shinichirou's mom always seems mad and gets even more mad when Shinichirou 's dad mentions Hiromi is their kid now. Is there something we haven't been told yet ;).

Definitely something there that we don't know.

I'm sticking with this particularly because that point bothers me... Noe is pretty interesting too, I suppose. For some reason, I'm not really sure I like our protagonist, Shinichiro...

PREDICTION: Shinichiro will go out with Noe, but they will SOMEHOW break up. After they break up, Noe can "get her tears back". But then, they will SOMEHOW get together again and Noe will show her "True Tears", aka tears of happiness? lol. The end, happy ending.

I would love that to happen, but I can already see that he is going to end up with Hiromi...
I don't really have any problems with Hiromi though, except for lying again (pretty sure he actually likes Shin), but that's understandable. It's just that Noe outshines her in every possible way in my eyes. So I would really love it if she ended up with Shin.
Also, I guessed right that #4 was just a brother and not a boyfriend.

Ai also likes Shin...great... I hope the number of girls liking him will end here. I really don't want this show to be a real harem. She should just stay with the other guy.

Shinichiro obviously likes Hiromi. Before the credits roled through look at the way Shunichro stares at Hiromi. I can tell he was shocked and also sad because Noe is causing so many problems and misunderstandings for Shunichiro and Hiromi. I mean she faked her leg injury just so that she can cheer her brother and in the process make Hiromi feel depressed and jealous. This better not be like School Days, I say that mainly because Hiromi's friend since I think she is capable of pulling stuff like that for the sake of helping Hiromi.

YES!! Loving the drama

Well that explains Ai's situation. Likes MC but has some sort of relationship with Nobuse to stay close to him.

Can't hate on Hiromi really. She was being a bitch with the whole "introduction with Noe" but she's just denying that she likes Shinichiro. Liking Noe's brother is probably crap too. Very realistic and relatable character.

Noe is the stereotypical ditsy, mask wearing girl. I usually end up supporting this type but haven't chosen sides yet. Enjoying this series thoroughly.

I think I know why I'm not enjoying this very much.

The picturesque freeze frames.
The whole thing about chickens.
Some characters that don't act or speak like human beings.

It's reminding me too much of Glasslip.

*shivers*

(To be fair, this is still a lot more coherent, though it's not hard to be more coherent than Glasslip.)

That Noe's brother isn't her boyfriend was obvious. I don't think a boyfriend was ever introduced like that in anime, especially not when everyone is struggling in a love..well, triangle isn't gonna cut it, but you got the idea. And the way they interacted, especially when he tied the helmet..that practically screamed "relatiive", so unless he'd be her father (a bit young..) or a cousin (which wouldn't be any different from brother for all intents and purposes here), it could only be..brother.

Also, Hiromo was practically staring at Noe's brother during the match, far to intensive for anything "normal". So i think she is really in lov with him. But that was right after she saw Shinchiro carrying Noe. It was like he randomly caught her eye because of movement or whatever and in that moment she decided to fall in love with him, because she can't have Shinchiro, or as revenge etc.

Interesting that she talks about him as "no. 4", instead of "Noe's brother". This makes it imho less likely that it is as revenge, as that would miss the point. Just taking a random guy wouldn't mean a thing then.

And Shinchiro's mother..something must have happend for her to be so hostile to Hiromi. Wonder why they even adopted her if there's bad blood. I mean, they know her obviously, as Shinchiro knows her for years, but what exactly was the relationship between them all (Shinchiro/family and Hiromi/family) before she was adopted?

I dunno why Shinichirou didn't even consider Noes brother from the beginning. Tho I doubt that Hiromi really has an interest in him.

Yep, so that dude is Noe's brother.
And Hiromi be lying... or maybe not, maybe she actually does like Noe's bro.

Also, I could have sword Ai liked Shinichirou's friend but apparently not.

Tpyical romance episode. MC confuses brother's love interest with boyfriend, another love interest is violent, drama with the "main" love interest.

Aww Noe giving the chicken food to Shinichirou is sooo sweet! It's definitely a sign of affection. :D
Even though I'm learning more about Hiromi, I still find her pretty boring... and a liar. :/
I don't find Aiko boring and I'd definitely like to see more of her!!
I knew that the "boyfriend" was actually Noe brother hehe.
The scene where Shinichirou was giving Noe a piggyback ride was simply heartwarming. <3
Although, I feel like almost every time Shinichirou blushes while thinking of Noe, Hiromi just has to come up... *sigh*
