Hiromi tells Shin of her intention to move out of the house while Noe tries to figure out what to do knowing Shin is getting further and further from her.
Impressions:
This episode really did absolutely nothing but point towards a Hiromi x Shin ending. Part of my reason for believing that would happen was my pessimism and wanting Noe to win but now that they’ve shown all of this that’s not even an issue. Even if I wasn’t pessimistic the show seems to be blatantly obviously heading towards a Hiromi ending. Not only was there the HUGE scene near the end about him racing towards her and then her crying as she ran to him they revealed that she did indeed remember their childhood experiences and just brought up their past together again that combined with Noe saying things like she pretty much knows Shin doesn’t love her. Saying things like its getting buried deeper and deeper, the love that Shin made for me. Although partially talking about the message, also being a metaphor for real life.
I do have to admit that I was perhaps a little over hasty when I said that I would “hate” the show if he ended up with Hiromi. Of course I would much prefer for him to end with Noe but even so I did find the scene with him going after Hiromi interesting. I disliked it because of how it pointed towards him ending up with Hiromi but the scene itself was pretty good. So this may partially be me wanting to like shows saying that it would be alright for him to end with her or just not being so one sided. I still would MUCH prefer Noe to win and I would like the show a hell of a lot more if she did, I won’t HATE it if she doesn’t.
I am happy they gave Ai a bi of closure. Although they didn’t really spend too much time on her and they didn’t dedicate a whole episode to her I think for the part she played she had a pretty good ending. The show really did seem to focus on Hiromi and Noe so giving her any focus at all was a bit more then the show could have gotten by with. At least they didn’t leave her with no focus at all.

It ain’t over till the really fat lady sings! I’m still rooting for the Noe ending!(Note, I almost spelt Noe’s name as Neo… why?) Until this show ends on a Hiromi ending, Noe still has a chance, heck with 2 or 3 more episodes left, there’s plenty of room for a come back!
Well I’ve picked up that keeping up hopes for a long shot doesn’t do much for you. Looks pretty much over for Noe. Can at least use the time to lower expectations there so it’s not so bad when the series is over. But hey if they pull it to go Noe’s way I wouldn’t be complaining.
