With the barbecue and him saving Anaru from falling, they keep hanging out to fulfill Menma's wish. Jintan even stands up for her when she's being targeted by her classmates for being spotted outside a love hotel. However, she confesses her unrequited feelings when they were working at a video game store.
Menma[]
Jinta has shown romantic affection to Menma throughout the show. Of course her death has affected him. He showed these feelings in preschool, but he didn’t tell anyone, since Menma is still a spirit and can talk to him. He continues to show romantic feelings towards her.
