Shinichiro thinks about how soft Ai’s lips were, but in the flashback we see him tell Ai that they are not only “just friends,” but even like siblings. Ouch, sometimes even the childhood friend advantage is not enough. Noe and Shinichiro spend some time together, and she is really enthusiastic about his Raigomaru picture book (which will immortalize Raigomaru). Hiromi, however, is getting really intensely jealous of Noe, and begins to understand Nakagami-okasan’s feelings.
Hiromi asks Jun to take her to a town where it doesn’t snow, so he takes her downtown. They play a game where you get to ask a question for every shot made, and Jun shoots 0/3 from halfcourt, while Hiromi makes like Shaq and hits 2/3 from the free throw line. Hiromi learns about the deal Jun made with Shinichiro, and also finds out that Shinichiro is Noe’s first boyfriend. Hiromi later confronts Nakagami-okasan about the defaced picture of Yuasa-okasan and runs to Jun’s place for some dangerous snow-biking.
Poor Hiromi, she is sinking deeper and deeper into depressed, crazy-girl territory as she realizes she is acting just like Nakagami-okasan. I guess even nice girls can end up turning all mean and monstrous out of jealousy, and it’s only a matter of time before Ai starts spitting venom. I just feel so bad for Hiromi being foiled in love, living with a step-mother who hates her, having the man who cuckolded her dad telling her how cute she is, and getting pimped out to same random siscon from another school. If Jun’s stats start to tank from his new girlfriend, you better believe all the basketball fans will be giving Hiromi the Jessica Simpson treatment as well.
Meanwhile, what is going on with Jibeta; is he Noe’s rebound rooster now? Noe is paying attention to you now, but never forget how she treated you before, Jibeta (and how she tried to feed you fried chicken)! Also, I wonder about the contractual details if Hiromi dumps Jun or forces him to dump her. Does that mean that Shinichiro is supposed to dump Noe then? The one thing I do know, however, is that guys get totally turned on by chicks with docile faces.

If Aiko starts down the jealousy path then maybe Impz ought to get his wish to see her very very dead.
I think that Noe is learning to love those who can’t fly so better late than never, I say. Jibeta is one lucky rooster to get the privilege of being kept warm by Noe. Jun not just any sis-con he’s a well disciplined sis-con, let’s not forget Stripey would have jumped Noe long ago if he were in Jun’s place.
I hate to admit it, but the fate of True Tears heavily lie on Hiromi’s actions now. Whether she chooses to let her jealousy rage and dorama continue on, and cause the now blooming relationship between Shin and Noe to fall into shambles (or at least, throw it into a state of turmoil, once she finally tells him her true feelings). Or, if she chooses the non-bitchy path, accept the things as they are now, and learn to love Jun.
But if Hiromi tries to just stick it out with Jun and watches Shinichiro from afar, won’t she just be Aiko 2?
Better than Mitsuki 2…
