Shinobu Maehara 
Shinobu moves into the Hinata Apartments after her parents divorce.
Part of the reason is her great fear of uncomfortable or embarrassing situations,
which emerges from time to time during her stay in the Hinata Apartments.
She's generally very shy and quiet, but her time in Hinata will eventually warm her up to new freindships.
She's the friendliest of the residents, with no angst against anyone and with no one disliking her.
She's very practical and very diligent since she had to take care of herself a lot before she moved in.
She's a good cook who frequently does the meals for the residents. And she's perhaps the only resident who
treats Keitaro with any consistent respect. She's always kind to him when no one else is.
Shinobu has a crush on Keitaro, but she keeps it respectably low-key, showing her appreciation in the simple
things she does around the apartments. She currently resides in Room 201.

The Diary of Shinobu Maehara
Friday, February 14, 2014 dear diary, I didn't spend Valentine's Day at the Hinata Inn this year. I'm with my mom and dad right now for the month of February, but I hope that everyone is doing fine. I'll be back on the 2nd week of March. I'm helping dad with his errand for the month and mom settle on her cafe. I've been really busy that I had to take a leave of absence for a month from school. I wonder what everyone is doing over there. Perhaps, I'll call them tomorrow. It's too late now and I don't want to wake them up. am still happy at 9:36 PM
Thursday, February 14, 2013 dear diary, It's Valentine's day! I only made two chocolates this year. An obligatory chocolate for Kentaro-senpai and a Valentine's day chocolate cake for Keitaro-san. Catching Keitaro-senpai offguard and speechless was worth it. Come to think of it, Kentaro-san was also surprised. What's more surprising is that Kitsune-san made Keitaro-senpai home-made chocolate. When I came back from school in the afternoon, Kitsune-san was already pulling out her chocolates from the oven. I don't really know why I find it unusually fun seeing Kitsune-san in an apron. Keitaro-senpai came home around 8pm from work and that's when everyone gave their chocolates. But I found it really sweet that he was holding a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates and a stuffed toy. They're apparently for Narusegawa-senpai. We weren't bothered at all. Mutsumi-san, who was also visiting at that time, originally thought that someone gave those to Keitaro-senpai. Mutsumi-san also brought chocolates. Ice cream. Isn't it still winter? I guess there's nothing wrong with that. Maybe Keitaro-senpai likes ice cream? I kind of noticed that Kitsune-san and Keitaro-senpai have become more closer to each other. Apparently, they're also working together. I keep overhearing about chapters and drafts. So I think it's a collaborative novel? That sounds really cool and professional, right? That's my Valentine's day. It wasn't for me. It was for someone. am still happy at 10:10 PM
Wednesday, August 01, 2012 a rare sight of an ecstatic me dear diary, I didn't know that I could be so straightforward sometimes, diary. Maybe because I still couldn't give up and maybe I've become strong today because I can expect good things from this. We're having a field trip for three days and I asked Keitaro-senpai to come along with me. Actually, I really wanted Keitaro-senpai to go with me because this is my chance to be with him. Even though I know it would still be pleasant to spend time with my classmates in this field trip, I think this is an opportunity to be closer to Keitaro-senpai. I've already asked my teacher if I could bring a chaperone for the trip. Sensei said that it's fine, so it's settled. At first, I thought the field trip was only exclusive for us students, but indeed we can bring someone along. But that's when sensei said that I can only bring one chaperone, because of the allotted budget. I'm relieved to hear that no one else is bringing a chaperone with them, or else they'd have to forbid it due to the school's budget. Furthermore, my classmates think that it's going to get dull if they bring their mom or dad or their sibling to the trip. So this is really a great opportunity for me. When Keitaro-senpai asked if it was mandatory, I just answered him honestly what I feel. "Yes, it's required, senpai." is what I said. Anyway, it won't really be that of a grand field trip. I think we're just going to sleep in a camp site, take a bath somewhere and go sight seeing. We'll probably stay in a hotel or an onsen on our last day / night. Keitaro-senpai just talked to me this evening while I was cooking. He said YES! When he walked out, I accidentally cut myself, so it's a good sign! I felt the pain and this isn't a dream! I'm so excited, deary. I'm really excited. I can't sleep! am still happy at 11:53 PM
Monday, March 19, 2012 dear diary, I am not going to take this for granted. When I Keitaro-senpai gathered everyone in the living room, I was almost hyperventilating because of my anxiety. It was almost time for the rent increase to take effect, March 21. And to be honest, I was in the middle of packing too. I've started to secretly pack my things. I've called mom and dad telling them that I just want to hear their voices. I've been giving hints. Deep in my heart, I didn't want to go. But what else could I do? It turned out that I've never been able to find a part-time job. I don't have money. What should I do? After getting home, I was just about to head to my room and continue packing, but Keitaro-senpai called my name. He was running and he looked frantic about something. I was wondering what Keitaro-senpai wanted to say, I was excited too. It was now or never, if I'd be hurt from another bad news, I don't know if I could take it. But I wanted to hear the news brought by Keitaro-senpai. The living room was quiet. Everyone was huddled around. Kentaro-senpai, Haruka-neesan, and Kana-san were also there. When Keitaro-senpai, walked in with a smile. I had a feeling and my heart started pacing. It beat fast and I swallowed with anticipation. "EVERYONE! THE RENT WILL NOT INCREASE!" The living room lit up and our crowd roared. I felt a tear trail on my cheek and I found myself crying because of my relief and my joy. I am not leaving Hinata inn! I'm not leaving! This is my home! And everyone's going to be here! I am not going to take this for granted. I cried. Motoko-chan was also wiping her face. Keitaro-senpai ran outside and we chased after him. Everyone was laughing. It meant victory. My life is no longer black and white. I feel alive again! am still happy at 7:16 PM
Thursday, March 01, 2012 dear diary, It's been tough for me this couple of weeks. If you don't know about the news, the rent's going to increase 60%. I'm embarrassed to call mommy or daddy for money. I don't want to ask for money. I asked my guidance counselor what I should do. Sensei said to move back home if things become very hard. She didn't say that I should leave, but she said that I should consider the option to go back home. All of my friends are here. This is home. And I don't want to leave. I've been searching for jobs, but there's no luck. I don't know if they even allow high school students to apply for jobs. If they don't then it's more trouble. I really need some money. I didn't know I'd be having this problem. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to leave. am still happy at 9:51 PM
Monday, February 20, 2012 dear diary, This is bad. I can't ask mama or papa for more money. I don't know what I'll do now that rent's going to increase. Will I leave when the increase will be pushed through? What shall I do? Is everything going to be okay? am still happy at 8:45 PM
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 Once again, the winds of loneliness have swept by. I saw a flash, your presence so bright, My heart beats fast. Heads turning, thinking twice. And sometimes becomes often. When I see you, I smile. I don't know why. Can it be avoided? Every moment, you're the one I think of. As time passes by, Is it wrong to stop? Should I stop falling for you? I couldn't compare it. This curse that you've placed on me. Even if I cut off the red thread, I wouldn't be able to escape from you. I am captivated. I am drawn to you. I'm praying. I'm hoping. I mean can it be averted? Because every moment, you're the one I think of. As time passes by, Is it right to stop myself fall for you? I can't contain myself anymore. - Happy Valentines. am still happy at 12:57 AM
