Editing Shinichi Nomiya (section)

== Personality ==
He is a generally laid-back sort of person, coupled with being flamboyantly dressed. Nomiya tries to get his students interested in the arts, though sometimes he gets rather carried away, in one instance going on an impassioned speech about what art is. Despite his affability, he seems particularly invested in Rin's progress. His investment is such that he even goes as far as to railroad Rin into a path where she misses all her lessons in favour of working on her art. 
As Rin's route gradually progresses, it's revealed that Nomiya's actions are far more selfish due to various factors such as his inability to go down the same path Sae's husband did while forcing Rin to go down that path herself or only focusing on Rin's ability to create art with no actual regard to her wellbeing. During the exhibit, Rin suffers from sensory overload and shuts down before eventually leaving after Hisao escorts her away. Nomiya's response is to do nothing, and when she goes missing after the exhibit, he cares more about reputation and devotion to the arts while also failing to acknowledge that he limited Rin's potential to do anything else but art. 
During the end of Act 4, he hits breaking point and goes into an angry rant when Rin decides that she'll apologize for leaving the exhibit. 

To people he does not know, Nomiya is a fairly friendly person, but at the same time a bit condescending. He does not seem to get along with fellow Yamaku teacher [[Mutou|Akio Mutou]] due to their differing teaching styles and because Nomiya seems to lack the professionality that Motou has towards his students.
