1x5 - True Tears

Shinichirō looks for Noe during school, but after she suggests they eat lunch together or go home together, he becomes defensive and lies, telling her that he has dance practice after school and that she should eat with her friends instead of him. After school another day, Noe drops in on Shinichirō in the middle of dance practice, and he later becomes inspired by her. Noe's older brother Jun pays Shinichirō another visit and during their exchange Shinichirō suggests that Jun go out with Hiromi if he is asking him to go out with Noe; Shinichirō becomes nervous that Jun may actually go through with it. Shinichirō goes to tell Hiromi about Jun saying she was cute, but she gets annoyed at Shinichirō for coming into her room to tell her something like that. Meanwhile, Aiko has started to knit a sweater for Miyokichi, but she is showing Shinichirō more affection than him.
