| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That novelist lol~ And it seems like the guy likes Ohana instead of Minko, or he's just cares about her like other people. And Ohana's dreaming about Kou-chan. Interesting, it's that one day in everyone's point of view! |

| Well, there was some real Tooru/Ohana action this episode. Tooru's got it bad the way he was staring at her lips, I think he wanted to do things. Poor Minchi, she was ticked. But I guess she took care of her anger in her own way. HATE Jiroumou, he needs to fall off a cliff and never be seen again, that perv. Admittedly he did try to make her feel better... perhaps. Now we know Nako comes from a large family, I can relate (6 siblings). |
| My little TooruxOhana shipping heart fluttered in this episode! It was so cute seeing him being so worried about her, seeing him blushing so much his own face flushed and couldn't tell if Ohana was still hot because he to was hot, and then his fascination with her lips.... But I feel bad for Minchi, not going to lie. And if she really did draw on Ohana's face, and I would have hated her, so I'm glad she didn't. I'm glad she was the one to cheer Ohana up. Props to Minchi! But I'm still watching you, Minchi  |
 |
| Tohru likes Ohana for sure :/ Lollicon... There'll be alot of drama when Minko finds out. Hmm... Itse been bothering me, but does anyone know why Nako opened the TV when she left |

| Obvious TooruxOhana ship is obvious. <3 And I think its pretty obvious the Minko has already caught up on the fact that Tooru likes Ohana. xD And omg , Toooooru, you are such an adorable fool when in love. xD |
| LOL, Tooru's a lolicon, even though Ohana is legal, but still, she looks 12. Things aren't looking so good for Minko... poor lass. |
To me among the many amazing parts the Minko/Ohana part as follows, was freaking amazing because Minko admitted for a first time that she needs Ohana's help to clear the bats. IMO that is another nice progress of Minko being much more honest towards Ohana. Good job there. To notice that in observing Tooru's view and his reaction to it in the spoiler |
| I approve Tohru's way. Ohana's lips look awesome. |
 |
| Damn, Minchi noticed :( Preview hints Kou-chan, we have a chance Kou-chan/Ohana shippers. |
| Still hope for Ohana-Kou and Tooru-Minko |

I like Tooru (Kou is right after him :3 ) but I just can't accept Tooru x Ohana for some reason.. probably because Kou is much more suitable for her.. There is still one thing I don't understand - the lips thing. I was just..weird. Overall it was a boring episode, unlike the others.. I'm disappointed.. |
| "Interesting" way of translating "zettai ryouiki". At first I thought I misheard something but feverish Ohana spouts even more nonsense than usual. Oh, those Japanese fevers. Close to 38 degrees and you're already hallucinating and almost dying. We're not even halfway the show and I'm already getting bored. |

| I LOVE TOHRUXOHANA!!! |
| Wow, this was a really good episode this week. Another tear jerker from Okada. This whole episode screamed konnichiwa TohruxOhana, sayanara Ko-chan. Much to Minko's chagrin, it's obvious now Tohru is really hung up on Ohana. Minko knows it too and it's upsetting her greatly. Even to the point where she had sinister thoughts of a prank revenge. I think Ohana was a bit short sighted when she mistook the comments that were made to keep her in bed and as a sign that "they didn't need her." I do think her mindset was understandable because her whole life was spent around a mother who lived life just to screw with others. "cut them down" seemed to be her favorite phrase. I really teared up when Nakochi read the phone msg and looked at a crying Ohana. Ohana had recently called her an "onee-chan" earlier. You could see Nako embraced it and really wants Ohana around when she went into her speech about how much Ohana was needed and wanted there. It was also touching to see Tomoe and Grams checking in on the girls. It was like watching mother hens watching over their chicks. It was made even funnier when they gave the two guys the evil eye and scared them right back where they came from. Tomoe looked like she was gonna punch the pervert writer guy. This episode's theme was all about Ohana and her sense of belonging. It toyed with a notion that Ohana didn't need to be there. But in the end it was obvious that she loved being there and that she is loved by the staff there, especially Nakochi. I think the ending dream scene showed that Kissieo is her "family" now. That this is where she belongs. It did seem dreary when the Ko-chan in her dream started slowly fading away. It was like she was mentally saying goodbye to him. That this meant the true end of her past life and any notion of being reunited with Ko again. I'm not gonna lie; when the tears streamed down Ohana's cheeks at that moment, they did on mine as well. P.S. I'm not thrilled with the possible couplings being developed in this episode. Ko-chan and Ohana seem to be a much better fit to me than Tohru. Also, Minko really loves Tohru and the fact he's gushing over Ohana is hurtful to her and could really strain an already tenuous friendship between Ohana and Minko. |

As for Tooru, im also not sure if he already realized his own feelings or not. And Ohana... she doesnt show any interest in him, damn T_T Cirris said: It did seem dreary when the Ko-chan in her dream started slowly fading away.

I'm not gonna lie; when the tears streamed down Ohana's cheeks at that moment, they did on mine as well. I also second that because i felt precisely the same. And god, I feel so sorry for Ko. I almost felt a tear on my eye. *i love you Ko* And btw, i think we´ll have some supernatural event coming, since there was a fox spirit? there watching Ko and Ohana in her dream. This ep was really great. and damn, next episode seems we´ll have emo moments. Ohana crying and screaming for help to Ko...i wonder what will happen 0_0. i have a bad feeling, but maybe finally they can see each other again... |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| Ohana is forgetting Kou, so sad, and she just can't stop working even when having a high fever. |
 |
| Oh the ending was really funny. Both of the guys were on their way to see Ohana and then they were stopped by Okami and that other waitress. It seems that Ohana is really starting to miss Ko. Minchi might be also finding out that Tohru likes Ohana |
 |
| Hrm, there were parts of the episode that seemed kind of confusing imo. The way that something would happen and then something else would happen. I dunno, maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention to the whole thing. Poor Minko though, Tohru seemed to be paying a lot of attention to Ohana this episode and ended up ignoring her. o n o Whelp, looks like Ohana's mom's back in the next episode, looking forward to it. :U |
 |
| Really loved the ep! Lots of TooruxOhana in it. =D Orulyon said: And Ohana... she doesnt show any interest in him, damn T_T I would rather say she doesnt show any interest in anyone lol. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that she can't rely on anyone (yet). I think even if she had feelings, and she knew about it, she would rather hold back because of Minko. =/ As for Minko, I like her more after this episode... I really despised her before lol.Can't stand most tsundere girls. |
Cirris said: That's rather interesting but it can be taken as her mind being hazy from her illness. It was seen few times that she was completely out of reality and more like numb. This is a indication that she may not be able to function properly once sick even if she pushes herself she will end in collapsing.I think Ohana was a bit short sighted when she mistook the comments that were made to keep her in bed and as a sign that "they didn't need her."

You could see Nako embraced it and really wants Ohana around when she went into her speech about how much Ohana was needed and wanted there. I don't know about me but most of the episode did not affect me emotionally but I did find it emotionally charged. To me Minko developing with Ohana was a nice step.

Yumekichi11Jun 5, 2011 11:09 AM
| I really do like Ohana's character, instead of giving up or being a brat and barely working, she really gives her all. Loved the scene at the end with Minko and Nako cheering Ohana up. Also, loved the part where Tohru brought food to her. It really does look like he has a crush on her...but I doubt Ohana really sees much in him, not until her and Kou have a fight or something, maybe. I've also got to mention the OST, it's so gentle but really adds a lot to the scenes. I can't wait for it to be released. |
tsubasalover said: And it seems like the guy likes Ohana instead of Minko, or he's just cares about her like other people. It doesn't seem like it. Why? Because he does like her; or he's just cares about her lips, just like other people yea? ( ´・‿-) Yukari_Hiwada said: Damn, Minchi noticed She already did so, lyk, 2 eps ago. Still, a beary nice discovery nonetheless. As for.... Preview hints Kou-chan, we have a chance Kou-chan/Ohana shippers NO. Why? For the simple fact that Ohana does not blush and get horny about him like 80% shojo heroines who catch the 1st glimpse of the 1st guy they met... YET. Unless dear Tohru's gonna save poor Ohana from whatever crisis she's gonna face next ep but I digress... One thing for sure now is that they're gonna milk this love geometry for as long as they can, just as I fear... Because apparently the so-called "slice-of-life" they currently have just won't cut it and the most evident proof is this very same thread; therefore, the most effective way to is to include bits of romance here and there in every ep to keep the watchers pumped. Cool method indeed ~ Anyway, the only interesting thing I found in this otherwise average ep is that little girl with the fox. I assume it to be an allusion to something and I'd certainly like to see an explanation later down the road, or maybe right now if somebody knowledgeable about japanese culture can enlighten me up? |

The girl and the fox are references to the story Nakochi told at the hillside shrine. Ohana really took a liking to it and daydreamed a sequences where the lights lit up a path along the countryside and into the sky. I think the dream sequence is a look into Ohana's mind and is representation of her thoughts. I think the Fox and the girl are representations of Kissieo and the upcoming festival. the girl might have some deeper meaning but i can't see it yet. I don't see a problem with dream sequences. I do think it was well done and not too out of place. Yumekichi11 said: Cirris said: You are right about that, if you look at the spoilerP.S.

You sorta feel bad for her. But the truth is she has been too afraid to reveal her feelings and it may end up costing her a chance. It's too late now cause any attempt in the face of his crushing on Ohana might be wasted and make things more awkward.

| wired episode i might say, this sudden cuts confused me sooo tohru feelings are kinda confirmed... but lets be honest, who could resit the lips of a woman? ^^ AND little creepy fox girl is creepy... |
| OFICIAL Tohru's got the hots for Ohana!!!! lol i feel bad for Kou but who knows the next ep looks lke something about Ko is taking place so maybe its not too late for them |
 |
| This episode was too slow paced for my liking. Probably the weakest episode thus far, imo. |
    |
| Lol. "fan service" with madam manager and the portion between her socks and skirt. xD Aww, Nakochi is such a cute friend, just so caring and sweet. ^^ But why do they have to make Tohru's crush so obvious, that I almost feel more supportive of OhanaXTohru in this episode than OhanaXKou. D: |

| Great drama, great development, great episode. |

Antanaru said: Ugh, I know. Gotta watch out for them fevers. And they call a doctor on top of it, of course. Down for a day and better check in with the physicians because you might not make it!At first I thought I misheard something but feverish Ohana spouts even more nonsense than usual. Oh, those Japanese fevers. Close to 38 degrees and you're already hallucinating and almost dying. Beginning of the fever - Nako turns on the TV Middle of the fever - Nako turns on the TV Near end of the fever - Minko asks Nako why she's turning on the TV Thank you! It was bugging me so much. I don't know why, but I kept noticing how she turned on that stupid television everytime she left the room. And if I were sick, having that racket on would drive me nuts. Peace and quiet is so much better. Tohru continues going down the darkside, I see. Well, while Minko did show hints of noticing before now, she definitely noticed this episode. And Lol@her big smile when she thinks of drawing on Ohana's face. I saw that in the preview and wondered what could possibly make my serious-faced Minko smile so big. |
    |
| i hated ohana in this episode. you know you have to sit your ass down & relax when you're sick instead of making everyone else worry about you. :I & it was out of character of her to think negatively like that. but i guess she can't keep the optimism act forever.... oh well. i'm crossing my fingers next week won't be as disappointing. :[ |
 |
| i don't remember when this show started being so awful but man this episode sucked just as much as last week's. i might drop it. pity, because i was really looking forward to seeing more yuina. but i don't think i can put up with the rest of this bullshit just for her. |
 |
| I didn't think an episode focused around someone being sick could be that good. I love this show. I wonder if Ko fading away in Ohana's dream could mean anything? |
| Found the episode to be really enjoyable. Kinda funny to see Ohana dazed, tuning in and out and so forth. She really has come to love Kissuiso, her responsibilities and her "family" there. As counterproductive as it was, I admire her work ethic and her attempts at working while ill. She just needs to learn moderation, which is kinda foreign to her. I felt a little bad for her after that final dream. If there is one person that she might like it's Kou (sorry, but that Tohru thing is completely one-sided right now). Perhaps it's not romantic feelings, but she does lean on him probably more than anyone else. The preview looked interesting. Maybe we'll see that developed a bit more. And her mom just feels like trouble to me. Finally, Jiro is a selfish ass. Trying to get a sick girl to listen to your ero-novel under the guise of helping her. He's trying to give some competition to the "consultant" for being the most worthless person at the inn. |

Okay so Minchi still didn't react or maybe she isn't that bad as a person? But her being all normal about Tooru's crush will not suit her character. I really like the writer dude. He is considerate in a very weird way XD Lets see what happens with Ko next episode. And why is Tooru so hot? ♥.♥ |

Jacut said: Great drama, great development, great episode. Yeah I really think this episode was fantastically directed. Don't know how it could be so disappointing or hard to follow. |
 |
| This was mostly average filler with some contrived situations to make the Torou groupies squeal. Who uses his own forehead to take someones temperature? Ohana gets my props for not giving a shit about his advances. I'd like to see actual progression and some episodes developing the characters instead of yet another day waiting the guest, cleaning, cooking and praising hard work. Also, ditch the boys already and stop delaying the unavoidable yuri! ;) |
| Good ep. Tohru has likely to have lips fetish. He better watch Denpa Onna. :D But yeah, , that scene made me smiled. :) |
