NaruHina and IchiOrihime do shar multiple similarities. a strong admiration from both females, an blatant either naivete or cluelessness about the others feelings or even presence. and a desire by both females to become stronger because of the man in question.
The only key and major difference is that unlike NaruHina Orhime has actually shown not only romantic feelings towards Ichigo, she has actually dir3ectly expressed them to him. Even if he couldnt hear her at the time. She has stated she would fall in love with him again.
Hinata on the other hand has NEVER EVER shown a single iota of romantic feeling towards Naruto or even remotely expressed any Romantic interest at all. No manga evidence exists of her showing any feelings beyond a deep admiration for him.
Oh and Nels released Zanpakto form?
HAWT!! and pretty darned amazing.
And Soi fon playing around with an fraccion espada. Looks like shes about to get serious.
Hovever, Orihime isn't shy, timid, ect. like Hinata, so that's why I don't compare them, I find both of the characters quite different.
IchiRuki, again, I see no romantic development (yet), unless there's some far ahead in the manga.
IchiOri also have a lot of developement, which I find great, unlike NaruHina which has next to none.
If I were to take a blatant guess, I'd say that Ichigo and Orihime would get together.
