True Tears – 12
Essentially, this episode seems to revolve around the old saying, “You don’t realize the value of something until it’s gone”. The series has been building up to the dance performed by Shin. When it happens, he is thinking about Noe and to Hiromi’s surprise, Noe is the one he is gazing at. And at the end, he is running off towards her. A lot of negative things have been piling up on Noe for the past while, and all of it reminds me of KGNE. Does that mean the writers are going to follow the trend and have a sad-but-not-tragic “parting of the ways” in the final episode? Well, I don’t know. I’m not going to pretend that I”m not biased towards Noe because she’s probably one of my favourite characters in a long while. Still, I’m not the type to make predictions or get too heavily attached to a certain “ending”. Based on the usual trends that these kind of shows take, I would guess it will be a “Hiromi” ending. I don’t have much to say on this episode, but the ending was very cruel…
One response so far
While I agree that Hiromi shares certain personality traits with Mitsuki, the situations that they were in are completely different. Mitsuki spent over a year caring for Takayuki after Haruka got in her accident, only then did she make her move to reclaim her love. After that they spent TWO YEARS together solidifying their relationship, Shin and Hiromi have nowhere near that sort of connection.
