I Am KANOJO!

You know who really needs a route? Shin's mom. Man, she's so hot. I actually noticed her before Hiromi.

No chickens were harmed during the filming of this episode. Thank god Noe didn't decide to do what I think she would with Jibeta from the previous episode, otherwise PETA would have been bitching their asses off. Shin was obviously thinking the same thing, as he watches Noe from afar trying to coax Jibeta into taking flight. Of course, the rooster "didn't feel like it", prompting Noe to comment on how Jibeta seemed better off in some ways compared to her.

Relieved that Noe didn't do anything stupid, Shin'ichiro returns home to call Hiromi on the former's well being and that she would returning home, as well as to pass that information to the elder brother. As he does so, he reminisces on Noe's words, realizing his own indecisiveness on issues that matter to him, be it his dancing, picture book or the two girls that loves him so. Staring intently at his half complete work, Shin returns to the main menu and reviews the CGs he unlocked for each of the heroines, probably reminding himself to save the game before making the next few choices.

The Mugiha Festival officially kicks off, and the Nakagami household is thriving with activity. Looking much hotter that I would like to admit, kimono-clad Hiromi helps Shin put on his outfit as he prepares for his war...dance. Elsewhere, looking awfully ronery with a chicken made out of a used tissue box, Noe contemplates as to whether or not to attend the festival. Girl, when in doubt, just save and proceed from there.

The festivities begin, with the dance paving way for procession. Ai shows up a tad late to help out for the event, as she greets Hiromi who was also doing the same. The two girls notice Noe lurking about the vicinity, who immediately flees after being spotted, leading Ai to comment that Noe came to watch as Shin's girl. Those very words trigger something within Hiromi, who snaps at Ai that SHE IS GUNDAM THE GIRLFRIEND, running after Noe thereafter. The bewildered Ai simply mutters that she doesn't know much after all. Lulz.

Hiromi catches up to her rival, only to tell Noe not to intervene, now that she and Shin'ichiro are now honest to one another about their mutual feelings. Noe is unperturbed by Hiromi's plea, simply stating that the latter has beautiful tears, and walks off. Back at the Isurugi residence, Noe tries her best to shut out the sounds from the festivities but to no avail, only to receive a phone call. She runs off to meet Jun who was at the workshop, and surprise, surprise, #4 finally reveals his feelings towards Noe, which is of course transcends brotherly love. He takes the opportunity to kiss his little sister, only to be cockblocked just before he reaches the lips. Damn siscon. Well, can't blame him. If I had a sister like Noe, I'd probably not be able to control myself either, so I have to at least commend him for holding out for so long and not resort to raEp.

The room's getting hotter in more ways than one.

The final portion of the dance is being performed on stage, and all eyes are on the troupe, with at least 2 pairs solely on Shin, as he could only think of Noe, who had cared and inspired so much, evident from his gaze. Through some sort of female instinct, Hiromi too notices that, as she shifts her focus onto Noe. Right after he was done, Shin tries to look for Noe, only to find out Hiromi asked her to gtfo. Our lead knew right away where she would be and proceeds hastily to school, as he arrives just in time to notice Noe jumping off a tree. WHAT. THE. FLYING. FUCK?!

Note to self: Collect all these special scenes as part of the True Tears CG collection.

Again, WHAT. THE. FLYING. FUCK?! I simply can't comprehend as to why Noe attempted at being an heroine, but I guess the emotional stress from revelations such as Hiromi claiming to be Shin's one and only, as well Jun's confession of his feelings finally got to her. She obviously makes it of course, and the joke now shared will probably linger until we find out what really happens to Noe, although those possibilities seem amusing enough. Also tears abound, but whether or not if it's "true" remains to be seen, but for the time being, Jun's bawww'ing is as real as they come, not to mention this guy's as he seems to think his favorite girl already lost out. Heh.
