Same here. I'm a big fan of Ran Mouri. I've never seen any girl as lovely as she is. She always chooses herself a positive way to live,that's very important. Waiting is hard, yet she accepts it. Their friendship and something above it - are so pure and rare. Shin-chan treats everyone the same way, except for Ran. He can't find a way to confess, that's why his feeling is even stronger than Ran's. He's a deduction maniac, and super silly about what is called ''love' ^^ However there'll be happy ending for the 2 of them.
There's no need to be abusive to say Ran is no match with Shiho. Living as Shiho does is too simple, but living as Ran does is really difficult. An ideal wife's position belongs to Ran with no douts. Shin-chan loves Ran only, that's why his name is with ''ichi''. :rolleyes:
