Evidences for Shin and Kumiko pairing by Barby
1. At the 2nd episode, "Shin VS Ojou," I remember Kumiko telling Tetsu and Minoru, "If a man and woman fights, it is the beginning of love." And in this episode, the main part of the story is the fight of Shin and Kumiko. Why will Kumiko say that line if that doesn't mean anything? 'Y get my point? heheheh
2. In episode 8, when Shin went to Kumiko's room... that only happens to anime couples, right?
3. In episode 8 also, Shin gave Kumiko his jacket when she felt cold. (^_^)
4. In episode 7, Shin was the one who saved Kumiko when she was about to fall from the rooftop.
5. They always talk with each other at the rooftop whenever problems arise.
6. It is obvious that Shin was always worried about Kumiko. Also, she may not have noticed it, but she was deeply affected when she found out that Shin was quitting school in episode 11. I've never seen her like that.
7. In episode 11, I couldn't forget the Romeo and Juliet scene at the balcony. It was the first time I've seen Shin blush.
8. In episode 13, Shin was really annoyed and angry when he heard Kumiko calling Shinohara-sensei's name. (I am annoyed, too. grrrr....)
9. Shin was the one who risked his life to save Kumiko when she was kidnapped in episode 13.
10. In episode 13 again, after telling Shinohara-sensei that he was too late, he walked away. I think he was jealous of him.
11. Shin was the 2nd main character in the story.
12. In Episode 11, Kumiko was willing to help Shin even though she knew that she could lose her job as a teacher, which was her dream since she was little.
13. In episode 11 again, . . .on the Romeo & Juliet Balcony scene angle (anime) not only is Kumiko the Yakuza boss but Shin is essentially the Montague as his father is the bigwig of law [Commissioner](from KAPONY2@aol.com)
14. The episode where Noda & Minami got arrested for being suspected as the thief. Then Uchiyama called Shin & told about it, "and suggested to call Kumiko as well. (from Rudino Raagas)
New!!!
Evidences for Shin and Kumiko pairing (manga) from Mary Grace Joy Cabrera
1. In Vol7 Ch10, there was this scene where Kurudo thanks Shin for saving Yankumi. The underlings gather round and say "That young man...is Kurudo's yondaime!!"
2. Still in Vol7 Ch10, Yankumi is surprised (she really looked quite "struck"), and gets angry at Shin for getting himself on a date. (though later on, she said that she she was concerned because she was responsible for making sure he stays on the right path;;; but if you ask me, I think that was just a pretty lame excuse for starting bites of jealousy...haha)
3. Still on Vol 7 Ch10, Noda asks Shin if he likes Yankumi, and after some while, he answers smugly "Probably."
4. On Vol 7 Ch9, Shin has flashbacks of Yamaguchi on his back calling "Shinohara-sensei" and of Shinohara coming out of the car running to Kumiko. Then, he said ironically "how laughable" and promptly walks out when Yankumi enters the classroom (ooh, I really think he's jealous...titters).
5. In Vol4 Ch8, Shin asks Kyou to teach him to fight, saying "I don't want her to get hit because of my bad. NEVER AGAIN!" Kyou gets impressed with him and earns his respect.
6. In Vol8 Ch10, Shin wears a fundoshi when he finds out that, to Kumiko, "Men must wear fundoshi." ^^, When Kumiko sees Shin in a fundoshi, she goes into an "entranced" state and stares/ogles at him, blushing.
7. In Vol8 Ch1, Shin asks Kumiko if Shinohara is her boyfriend. When he learns that they aren't <after much blushing and denying on Yankumi's part>, Shin looks relieved after that.
THEY REALLY CARE FOR EACH OTHER AND THAT'S IT!!!!
so let talk a bout the live proofs:
1. like the first one said sawada was always the second main cast
2. he always glanced at yankumi!!!
3. he even smiles secretly!!!

shinkumi trivia:
WHEN FIRST THEY MEET.....
Shin and Kumiko start off with nothing but a passing interest for each other - well, in Shin’s case, it’s a bit more obsessive than passing, especially in the animanga.

kumiko realizes straight off that Sawada Shin is the leader of his
class. In the drama, a crowd of students that had been heckling her part to let him pass when he enters the scene late. In the animanga, he tells his friends to chill out when they were harassing her, and they stop right away. “I see. They listen to HIM,” she thinks to herself.
The animanga starts to take a more serious tone with Shin’s outlook towards Kumiko than the drama (in which it just seems that he starts to respect her little by little). After one incident he comes to the conclusion that she was the one who beats up a bunch of thugs and becomes obsessed with the idea of fighting her. In order to get her to accept, he tells his classmates to skip out on her teacher evaluation and they all head up to the roof. When Kumiko goes up there to get them, he tells her he’ll tell them to go down on one condition: she has to fight him one on one.
When she meets him for the fight later on, he tells her he wanted to fight her to see for himself how she beat up those guys. She proceeds to tell him that he pisses her off because he “mobilized his crew for no good reason”. She tells him he can never do that for his own selfish reasons. He is, of course, confused, because she has slipped into yakuza mode on him. She is basically comparing him to a yakuza leader who has a crew, only his crew is the student body. This sort of comparison shows that she has a bit of respect for Shin - though probably nothing more than that at this point.
OR WAS IT?????
In the Gokusen guidebook, there was a short story about Shin and Kumiko meeting while they were kids.
Shin is riding his bike when he sees two men on a motorbike stealing a purse from a helpless woman. He tries to catch up with them, but he just can’t pedal fast enough. Then all of a sudden, a girl (Kumiko!) easily runs up next to him and hops on the front of his bike, taking over the pedaling and giving him a nice panty shot in the process.
They still can’t keep up with the robbers, so Shin gets off the bike and Kumiko rides on ahead without him. When he finally catches up, he finds a note on his bike with the robbers lying on the ground all beat up, just like how adult Kumiko leaves her not-so-innocent victims.
Unfortunately for the police, Shin can’t give them any details about who the girl was who beat up the thieves. All he can remember is her cursing and panties! Neither Shin or Yankumi remember anything at all about this incident.
MISS THEM????
