SHINRAN AND THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES
gift giving
giving your partner tangible items that make them feel known, loved and cared for
chapter 48
shinichi giving ran mittens
we all know shinichi is a very observant and attentive guy, so naturally all of his gift are pretty well thought out... which is why i was confused as hell about the mittens, cause they seemed very random to me... until i paid closer attention and noticed something
THEY'RE NOT RANDOM AT ALL
HE GIVES HER MITTENS BECAUSE HE NOTICES THAT HER HANDS ARE FREEZING IN THE COLD
this ship is going to be the death of me.
chapter 237
ran knitting shinichi a sweater
IT TAKES HER A WHOLE MONTH YALL!
chapter 245
chapter 293-296
bonus: shinichi being appreciative!
chapter 307
even though she decides not to send him the cup, shinichi is still ecstatic about the gift. meanwhile in chapter 331-334:
both of them are hurting so much during this case. and here's my theory:
both shinichi and ran have a tendency to conceal or downplay their pain. ran says she didnt send the mug because it turned out bad, but i think that's just an excuse. i think not being able to give him the cup directly causes her a lot of anguish, which is why she ultimately decides not to send it.
but my girl is strong, so the first time she's confronted with a situation like that she's able to fool everyone. the reason why shinichi catches on to her during the valentine's case is because it's a romantically loaded day and this is the second time that she doesn't get to express her love through a gift.
she's tired of having so much love to give but the only person she wants to pour her heart out to is absent. she's understandably crushed. which ultimately breaks shinichi's heart as well. so he does this...
and i think that speaks volumes about shinran and the importance of gift giving in their relationship.
chapter 727
kogoro: mentions ran's cold at the beginning of the case
me: doesn't give it much thought
shinichi:
me:
chapter 884
chapter 743
not THAT much, huh?

Shinichi's Desperation and the moment of truth
This guy had begged the universe for a minute with Ran as his true self, just to be able to tell her how he truly felt the moment she had smiled so beautifully at him when they were kids
And then, finally, the universe heard his silent prayer and it happened when shinichi least expected it
Bonus:
Shinichi would turn the world upside down just to be with ran. Since the beginning, he had known the risk, and he was willing to bet on anything, even if at the expense of his own life, just to come back to her.

Do you think Shinichi could ever abandon Ran for another girl?🥲
it's funny, because at some point ran asks herself a similar question:
chapter 305
and i just love the confused look on shinichi's face CAUSE SAME LOL
like this is shinichi kudo we're talking about. he may enjoy the benefits of his desirability, but don't get it twisted, he's absolutely enamored with ran:
chapter 1
more proof:
chapter 173-175
ran is feeling insecure about shinichi's "relationship" with asami and he's EXASPERATED:
because the thought of him entertaining anyone but ran is absolutely unfathomable for my son, which is why he rejects asami the second she confesses her feelings for him:
like i need y'all to understand that this man's sexual orientation isn't straight, it's RAN
chapter 311
two attractive girls in a bikini bump into shinichi and he's pretty much unfazed. he intuitively points at ran to show what his actual type looks like and HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT'S HER:
gosho consistently confirms that shinichi has zero interest in other girls:
chapter 876
sera, who has an obvious crush on shinichi, tries to figure out if shinichi likes her back and HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE'S FUCKING TALKING ABOUT LOL
there's only one girl for him and it's ran:
so, to answer your question... do i think that shinichi could ever abandon ran for another girl?
