True Tears 04 – What women want

I don't get Hiromi. From her verbose justifications, it's clear that she's trying too hard to convince Shin (maybe even herself?) of her supposed crush on Jun. Yet, despite the distance she desires, it's evident that she also wishes to be chummy with Shin (photo moments and greetings). An expression of her amicable personality? Her hopes to be part of the Nakagami household? Or the result of a conflicting shoujo heart? I guess we'd only know after the workings of her relations with Mrs Nakagami crystallises.

Noe. For someone who's so lucid about the emotions/pretenses of others, does she realise her growing feelings for Shin? How about onii-chan's feelings for her? Does earmarking Shin to be the one worthy source of her tears means she would not only be investing chicken feed but her very own emotions in the Raigomaru-replacement? And just where can get those cute boots-warmers?

What about Ai? Is she making the same mistake as Takayuki (Kiminozo) and Yoshiyuki (DCII)? What was she thinking when she reciprocated the sneaky Nobuse hand-holding?! Did she understand its implications or does she naively believe Nobuse would see it as a simple gesture of friendship valid only for road-crossing? Compassion or sympathy in love has be the cruelest type of kindness. Hoping Ai extricates herself before it's too late.

I guess that is why True tears remain fascinating. There are so many conflicting facets of the bishoujos that keep me guessing about their true motivations. That said, the one person I did get was Jun. I absolutely understand his more-than-brotherly affections for Noe (who with testosterone wouldn't?) and his call to matchmake Noe and Shin. I never NEVER want to be in his shoes.

Can't wait to see how big a theme siscon would be in True tears.
