True Tears – 08

Can anyone tell me what Hiromi said to make Jun blush?

Summary: At the Isurugi household, Noe tells Jun that Shinichirou confessed to her and now they’re going out, and the siblings share an embrace. After failing to come up with ideas to draw again, Shinichirou collapses on the bed and remembers about Noe wanting to cry tears of happiness, Hiromi informing him that they may be siblings and that he had rejected Aiko after she kissed him. Bidding a customer farewell, Aiko wonders why she did that and falls to the ground, crying. The next day Nobuse asks Shinichirou to go and meet Aiko with him, but Shinichirou tells him that he has a date with Noe.

Shinichirou goes out to find Noe in the chicken coop, keeping Jibeta warm from the cold. The pair are spotted by Hiromi and her friend and Hiromi figures that Shinichirou and Noe are now going out. Shinichirou and Noe walk to the waterfront together. Noe tells Shinichirou to sit down and then she hugs him. The following day at school, Shinichirou reads Noe what he wrote last night. Noe exclaims that she’s really happy and she kisses him on the cheek. That night, Hiromi has a dream about the time she lost her sandal and was looking for Shinichirou. She finds him and is happy, but sees that he’s with Noe. She wakes up with a start, in tears. In the morning, Hiromi bumps into Shinichirou and tells him that he’s going out with Noe, which she finds strange.

Hiromi goes into the kitchen to say goodbye to Shinichirou’s father before leaving to school. He says something related to her mother and as Hiromi’s closes the door, Shinichirou’s mother remarks that Hiromi has a docile face. Hiromi is looking at the snow falling when Jun appears. The couple go into the school gym and have a game of basketball. Jun tells Hiromi that when their grandmother died, Noe couldn’t cry because she had taken away her tears. Noe reads aloud Shinichirou’s story and continues praising it, causing Shinichirou to blush. Meanwhile, Hiromi learns of the “exchange” — Jun date Hiromi so that Shinichirou will date Noe. They walk out and come across Shinichirou and Noe, who are here to visit Jibeta.

At the chicken coop, Noe says something nice to Hiromi, but she replies by saying something mean. Hiromi leaves and Jun follows her. Hiromi finds the burnt photogrpah with her mother’s face missing and confronts Shinichirou’s mother. Hiromi apologizes before running off to the Isurugi’s. She tells Jun to take her to a city that doesn’t snow on his motorbike, and although he’s reluctant, he does so. While riding on the bike, Hiromi sees Shinichirou with Noe and Hiromi and Shinichirou share a momentary look of confusion and shock. Noe’s surprised that her brother left.

Thoughts: Jun, blushing? What a turn off, lols. So some say he’s falling for Hiromi, but I don’t believe so because I don’t think he’d get over Noe so soon, and fall in love with someone the next. Shinichirou, although spending lots of time with Noe and being more happy, still has feelings for Hiromi as expected. I’ve figured out that Jun and Hiromi are probably the mature, cool and “naughty” type (that is if they “do it” in the next episode as suggested by the preview). Noe and Shinichirou are the innocent, happy couple, while Nobuse and Aiko’s relationship is a one-sided love, however, they’re pretty messed up. It’s really hard summarizing True Tears without reading subs, but you know, I just couldn’t wait for this episode. Anyway, I thought this episode lacked entertainment and drama. I dunnoes, maybe it’s ‘cos I didn’t understand half of what they were saying, or that things were just getting pretty weird. There was a hint that Shinichirou and Hiromi are going to end up together, because of the way they can’t stop looking or wondering about each other, and how they’re using someone else to forget their feelings. Anyhow, most of my thoughts are saved for the predictions.
