Step aside everyone and give the spotlights to Ohana/Kou both are excellent in this episode. Especially Kou in the preview with the following, ![]() upon hearing the preview I want Kou to move his ass and help Ohana with inn. Resulting a relation blossom that shall end with a kiss? Perhaps not but something emotional that will be amazing! I want my wish to come true and from the looks of the next episode it shall hopefully since there is mention of “Thank You Kou” Seriously that will be amazing. About Kou, Kou was pretty cool this episode and he so blushed at Ohana's thank you towards him. I did find it lame that they cut out the conversation suddenly because of the tunnel. It's natural but I would have wanted a longer conversation. I do understand it will make Ohana's surprise even bigger. Everyone will so assume he is her boyfriend. Checked the date of Kou's cell phone and it's the same as this years except it all happened yesterday at 11:48am. Cool! In the end Kou came in a bullet train and at last got off. However I was wrong in thinking it was the station close to the inn. In fact he has to take more transportation to get there. The other one is Ohana coming at Takako in her face to tell her “Hey bitch you going to screw up the inn and I am taking over.” As follows, ![]() indeed I do have a problem with Takako's ways. My points outlined:
There I have said that needs to be said about her although I am perfectly fine with her comedic faces in the spoiler About Ohana, I loved Ohana's imagination of her with her Nako/Minko chibi format in the spoiler manager would be happy. It was really nice to see her being more worried over her grand-mother than the inn whereas it was the opposite with the grand-mother. I loved her expression change upon answering to Kou. I really hope things will got crazy by episode 9/10 with her and Kou. Who knows he might stay at the inn a little to help her. Loved Ohana's expression when she was suspicious of the Novelist even though himself was also suspicious with his glasses move. Probably the smallest yet biggest progress I have seen with Mr. Mr. Beanman and Ohana is when he helps her with the garbage in the spoiler Love the ED new song. Marvelous singing and beat. This is where Ohana shines the most and of all episodes so far in effort and determination to bring Thoru back! Put it this way this girl Rushes through despite making Minko have a bad face all the way. Bikes like crazy, while having a relaxing position sweats out a lot, put out her organization skills big time with using her cell phone as a position locator, runs through the station rushing down the mechanical stairs with all these people, runs the whole freaking city, so much in fact that people seriously notice her, and end really out of breath at the marriage place. Now that is amazing! Bravo to Ohana! About Sui Shijima, if you wonder about her illness look where she is grasping in the spoiler About preview, oh WTF @ the novelist having weird cartoon drawings on his chest. There shall be a fire in the kitchen? Epic Thoru rescue must come! Looks like a Ohana goof up in the marriage ceremony. Once again excellent episode. No ecchi gimmicks and good stuff only.

Kou finally appears! I'm so excited to see next week's episode. Somehow I get the feeling Kou is going to see Tohru and Ohana together, maybe on the bike back to the inn or something. Love this show. |

geezer said: Your thoughts pretty much covered everything I wanna say about this ep. Thnx PS: Did not know Ren has such a cute side and dayum, Tohru sure looks good in a suit 8D And it seems like it's quasi impossible for a show to be popular w/o including some romantic geometry, even if the outcome is pretty much predictable... But then again, I don't expect this show to follow gutsy shows like 5cm/s (especially not since the 3rd ep onward) to pull off something realistic and refreshing in the romance department, something that they feel like is right for the show to be memorable and not afraid to hurt sentimentally frail fans ~ Modified by BitchMaster, 05-22-11, 12:14 PM ![]() If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |

That was a great episode and I feel like everyone else has already said anything that I wanted to say. But really, the idea of treating some customers better than others, how does that not sound like it'll totally backfire? And for all they know the customers they'll be treating better may not even be those mystery customers. Derp I dunno. But if I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, I'm glad that Ko's finally back in this episode. * u * Definitely looking forward to next week's episode since this week's cliffhanger of sorts for Ohana and Ko killed me. xD |

I REALLY HOPE ALL YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT!!! I hope Ohana is gonna meet up with Tohru, and then Tohru will be all "o/////o shes the only one that came to get me again.." and then shes gonna ride on the back of his bike, wearing his helmet, smelling his hair.. then Ko might be at the Inn (hopefully he knows where it is) and then he will see Tohru and Ohana... I REALLY HOPE Ko doesnt get stood up! T___T |

I think the Tooru/Ohana scene will play out something like this: Ohana searches for Tooru non-stop, eventually coming to cause a huge mess in the wedding reception just as it starts or ends. Tooru will be completely shocked to see her there and the conversation will go something like this: T: Hah!? What the hell are you doing here?! O: Tooru-san! Kissuiso needs you! Ren-san is under pressure and he can´t cook. We need to get you back there ASAP. T: What?! And you came all this way just to get me back there. O: -stares intently- Please Tooru-san! And the people around them will just stare. T: Gosh, you sure are bad at reading the atmosphere. O: What´s that supposed to mean! T: Fine, let's just get out of here already. Then they go outside and Tooru gets on his bike and tells Ohana to get on. At first she refuses and blushes a bit. T: Hurry up and get on. O: Eh...eh?! B-but... T: Just get on already! Wasn't it you who said it was extremely urgent?! Eventually she hopps on too and grabs on to his waist. Whether he gives her his helmet or not I do not know. Either way, she´ll end up smelling his hair via wearing his helmet or by hugging him from behind while they ride on the motorcyle. Yeah, my prediction right there. xD EDIT: orz, now I feel like writing a Tooru/Ohana fanfic. :P |

Else I don't know how he even figured out where Ohana went, I don't even think she told him where. So how did it he know it was in that town?that was the best prediction evahhh! im totally with you! but i totally hope Ohana doesnt forget Ko. i wonder if he knows she works at kissuiso or if he will eternally wait for her to answer her cellphone at the train station ;_; i would die if that happened, poor Ko. |

IDK why they have to put a cliffhanger on that door, it's not like they would find a dead body inside or something. It would be funny if Ohana interrupted the wedding or got herself in a weird room XDD Jrittmayer said: ^That's a weird place to conduct a wedding... It's dark and messy at the entrance...

Great cliffhanger! I have a feeling that there will be more misunderstandings... the fact that Ohana went to fetch Tohru will obviously make Minko more upset, and if Ko finds out about this, there will be even more misunderstandings. ![]() Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
