Besides Nobuse has some faith in Shin-chan that Shinichiro will not betray him. So long as Nobuse is convinced that the apple in Aiko's eye is out of reach he is not going to over react. @Igunis Then you sir must get acquainted with the esteemed Noe and Hiromi so that your eye will never deviate again. ;) @Dirian They all deserve to be happy, except Mrs. Nakagami. If Shin were to be left out in the cold then we need one more male lead... unless jun gets both Noe and Hiromi. ;) @Leon

Anyone else think it'd be hilarious though if all three girls end up with someone not Shin, and Shin ends up all alone. Well....I'd laugh anyway.

Shin-chan getting a clue...were it so easy. @Kidan Non-generic harem 4TW! @Skane Glad you noticed, though I wonder if any one is going to get the Indiana Jones one. @Leon Nobuse is a man who is above petty jealousy, I am sure he senses it but being the good man that he is refuses to act upon it. His love for Aiko is not the stifling kind, all he wants is to bask in her lovely glow. @Setsukyie If nothing else I am sure no. 6 and no. 4 can get along famously. :) @lazyd00d Noe is elite and her actions will shape her world. @Kurogane I remember way back when that Japanese households having separate rooms was a rarity. My professor told me that when her kids had their own rooms in the 1980s-1990s in Japan that her Japanese peers wondered if her kids would get lonely. Shin-chan should have been there when Hiromi mourned the loss of her parents. If his image to her was all that mattered then he is no contender he's not even a friend. Given the gulf between them now one cannot help but wonder if Shin-chan ever even tried to initiate the reconciliation. Thus far it was Hiromi who had to get the ball rolling with the "I want to be Noe's friend gambit." Well let's see how Jun is going to fare in wooing Hiromi given how timid Shin-chan has been. @Derek

It's actually more likely Shin didn't visit her not because he's afraid of his mom, but more like he's afraid of Hiromi's image of him instead. Ever since Hiromi arrived at the Nakagami household, she has acted cold to him, which comes to a shocker for him, considering they are childhood friends. And probably with all the other elements in place, he's afraid to visit her room mainly because he thinks that she doesn't like him anymore. It's only after the recent events, when Hiromi shows him a more friendlier side, that only he has gotten courage to visit her room. You have to know, in Asian cultures, privacy is a very integral part of politeness, much more especially in Japanese ones. You just do not simply enter or visit rooms of people that you perceive aren't inviting of it.

Does he love Hiromi because he really loves her, or because of Noe.. Shinichiro did say, "In exchange for me going out with Isurugi Noe, you'd have to go out with Hiromi".. Maybe Jun took that seriously.. The scene with Jun and Hiromi in the next episode interests me..
