I think Minko acted like a spoiled brat the moment Ohana came in. I can relate to her because of it. It's like she knew that Tohru might like another girl but I don't really know what Tohru really feels about her. Other than a teacher-student like relationship. Anyways, I'm glad that Tohru was standing outside the whole time, knowing that Minko likes him. I remember when Minko said that she likes Tohru, I support her all the way. I really want them to end up together.
I really can't see Ohana going out with Tohru. It's just weird and not to mention that she "decided" to have a crush on Ko. I wonder how it's gonna turn out when she confesses to him.

well Ohana never thinks about Tohru so TohroxOhana was obviously impossible from the beginning and since no1 else is around and Ohana can't forget Ko its either Ko for her or nothing.as for Minchi she is the jealous type character and this kinda characters are doomed to be annoying most of the times and since this show is 26 ep not 11-12 she had more time to annoy ppl ...(well i am not that much annoyed and rather pity her but can understand why she is hated).the only good thing about all of this is that tohru didn't act like minchi towards his love.
hoped tomoe could catch bouquet xD

Ugh. The Ko x Ohana pairing is no good. I don't like Minchi x Tohru either (she's such a violent brat and is in NO WAY ready for a relationship). I want this season to end with no one paired officially... Ko's been so out of the picture and Ohana's 'sudden realization' seemed very forced.

Then second season when Ohana becomes legal, Tohru can get Ohana... when she realizes he's the one that can get 'things done' if you know what I'm saying ;) bow chicka bow wow.

...seriously tho...

Tohru's hot.

I like how you think. We're officially in the same page. I know this would be far from possible but I think this is how things should work.

Have to disagree, it wasn't sudden realization, there were moments in the 2 half of the series, that she reminiscing about Ko. Throughout the show, she has suppressed her feelings for Ko, she doesn't know how to act and feel toward him, because he was her close friend for a long time and the confession in episode 1 was a big change in their relationship.

lol, if there is a 2nd season and Ohana has finally grown some breast, to push her out of the misunderstanding of being a pedo next to Tohru, than I'm fine with it, if there a development of romances.

Tohru hot? Naw I prefer Ko, the generic sweet typical boy, but its your opinion. By the way, I'm a guy and I'm not gay. ^_^

Heh, aren't Minchi and Tohru pretty much the same kind of personality? The grumpy looking one that acts annoyed and falls into shouting commands and hard work mode when uncertain? I'm supprised many like him more, because other than looking cool on a bike and reluctantly helping out from time to time, he never emerged beyond being a side character.

I don't know if they make a good couple, maybe they're too much alike. Same goes with any combination with Ohana. So with the exception of some yuri I guess nobody getting together is the best we can hope for.

Well that's just your interpretation. A suddenly confessing friend is something you have on your mind for some time. But Ohana never showed any sign of affection other than feeling guilty for not giving a proper response. For the most part of this show she actually had other things more important to her, like working your ass off for stupidest reasons.

I hope the creator doesn't take the typical way with this series. I don't really hate Ko at all. I actually like him quite a lot. However Ko x Ohana and Tohru x Minko is way too typical for my taste. Since it is a slice of life, it is not necessary for it to end up the typical way, right? While I am pretty sure nothing will happen between Tohru and Ohana, I would like to think that the creator might do something about it. If something were to happen, I don't expect it to happen right away. It could happen a few years later.

Maybe I'm reading way too much into it and the series will end up with Ko x Ohana and Tohru x Minko but I hope it will have a different ending.

I think you should give up on the hope of Tohru x Ohana, truthfully I too would have preferred such an ending, but we now know Tohru wont do anything, he also knows Ohana likes Kou, and for some reason he doesn't seem the type to get in between peoples relationships, especially since half way through the series he tried to get Ohana to talk with Kou, if he was the type to get between people he could have easily convinced her not to.

I think Kou is going out with the Library Girl, however if it will last or not I am unsure, the funniest would be it ends up that Ohana gets into another cat-fight with library girl! nah it won't happen though :S three fights in three episodes = unlikely if not a shounen anime :P

I do think that we may be on for a 2-3 episode Kou x Ohana arc, as in their relationship, first episode is realising that library chick and Kou are going out, then an angsty episode and then a Kou coming to resolution over that he wants Ohana episode, whilst at the same time the people, maybe Satsuki tries to convince her mother not to close Kissuiso, so basically half of each episode deals with these two issues, then the last episode is Bonbori Festival with everything resolved.

I'm probably wrong there but it is possible :)

Okay, i like the fact that Tohru isn't actually in love with Ohana, and that Miko's got chances of getting him now. Not sure about Ohana x Tohru that might happen, i was assuming it would end with Ohana being single working at Kissuiso, but now that she "decided she has a crush on him" and Okami-san wants to close Kissuiso i dunno how it'll turn out. Also it was utterly stupid how Ohana decided she has a "one-sided crush" on Ko, he's so obviously into her and he even confessed at the start of the series, Ohana's doing drugs or what? Now i have no clue how it'll work out, but some drama with meganekko that has a crush on Ko is pretty much a given.
Anyways, i wonder why i didn't think Okami-san would want to close down Kissuiso. After all it was close to impossible that Satsuki would even come there again.

I think what a lot of people don't realize is that TohruxOhana is typically the 'default' for these type of shows -- girl has childhood friend who's always around when a 'new and exciting' male suddenly shows up -- girl falls for new guy while steady childhood friend has to bow out. The possibility of Ohana ending up with Kou is actually quite refressing to me.

I'm still shaking my head of all the people (on the forums) in love with Tohru. The ONLY good thing people can say about him is "He's hot." Wow, I guess most people really do only care about looks and less about personality. If you look at their actions, Kou is actually more mature than Tohru. Chew on that for a while, haters.

I don't think it is. As far as I remember Tohru liked the idea of writing LOVE on food. Tough it can also mean he cares about Mibchi.

I thought so too ^^ When Ohana said she is not giving up her love and is going to confess my reaction was 'YEAH!! Finally!'
I liked the wedding. It was lovely. I laughed at Jiroumaru imitation Enishi xD Best episode so far, in my opinion.
I'm waiting for next episode and the turn out, but Ko's face in the preview was either *I'm sorry, I'm already over you* or *I'm so happy to see you after all this time*

I really like the whole wedding ceremony. Seeing them all doing preparations and the ceremony itself was really nice and funny. I laughed my ass off at the scene with Denroku.

Of course this was all after the whole ordeal with Minko and Ohana. I always thought Minko was being childish my forcing Ohana to go out with Tohru, even though Ohana never said he liked him. At the same time Minko didn't have the guts to properly tell Tohru. I'm happy about how it turned out though. Finally we got some facts about who likes who.

As for the one-sided crush. I think Ohana was just repeating her mother's words. She thinks it's a one-sided crush because she thinks Kouichi got over her because of the librarian girl.

I can't wait for next week to see what Ohana's going to do!

Hmm. Okay, just because I commented on his attractiveness doesn't mean that's his ONLY good quality. I just thought his GOOD qualities spoke for themselves and I was half=jokingly focusing on his appearance.

He has PLENTY of good qualities ; he's a successful chef, he's self sufficient, he comes through as a friend (went and got Ohana from Tokyo when she was protesting her mom... pulled over to the beach when Minichi seemed stressed... came to the school festival to support both Minchi & Ohana... etc) He also is GREAT in a 'pinch' and came back from a funeral to help out at the Inn and took over for the wedding menu.

Just because I say 'he's hot,' there's a lot MORE going on to him.

THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE THOUGH... because you obviously know ALL about me and that I only care about looks... based on what I write in MAL forums. Whew. Now I can sleep better knowing what 'issues' I need to work out.

I find both Tohru and Ko pretty mature, but I find Ko a somewhat boring person whom I think would make a poor match with the quirky, animated Ohana. That's MY opinion and I feel Tohru's character has been flushed out more which gives him an advantage.

To quote you, feel free to 'chew on that'... whatever good that does. :)

Exactly it could he cares for her but also it could mean he loves her. In a indirect way shown, all is left really is for him to say it out! Tooru may not look like it but he is a shy person.

I agree, he is a good guy, but he gives off a older brother feeling than a potential love interest w/ Ohana.

For sure Tohru is very mature in his profession and given Ko age, its more amazing than the norm. I find Ko generic, does it that mean he is boring? He has already been given a role to be the mature, sweet, good looking boy to show us Ohana flaws and immaturity at the beginning. Ko/Ohana are very compatible, if you re watch episode 1. Tohru character indeed has more appearances than Ko, but Tohru + Minko love situation was made to reflect Ohana own situation and allowing her gain a new perspective.

Hmmm. Yumekichi-san... I'd to compliment you for coming up with this cute assumption but... I don't think that it really has this meaning of confessing to Minko...More in the realistic side, I think tohru got this idea when he ate the omuraisu at the girls's school festival that has the same design as this. It is just that he thought that this idea will be cute for the food design for the wedding.

With that in mind, I think every table at the wedding is served with this dish written with love on it. So the dish served at Ohana's table is basically for everybody (Minko just can't eat all of that in the first place...). It just happens that Minko is sitting closest to that dish.

Nice imagination anyway. :)

How does the preview point towards Ko rejecting Ohana? "You're nothing like a bland coffee" would mean "You're not boring", right? And from the looks of it, Ko and Ohana end up in a cafe in Tokyo, which would imply they're still on good terms. Plus I doubt Ko would find another girlfriend without at least telling Ohana first.

As for my thoughts on the episode, I don't really care what happens to Minchi or Tohru - both have kinda aggravated me with their stubborn ways, and even after Tohru discovered Minchi liked him there seems to have been little, if any, development between the two.

Really hoping for OhanaxKo to make up for the failed relationship development I've seen so far, especially since they just left Ko and the librarian girl out of the picture half the season. There'd better be a good resolution.

The preview could either be trolling us with that quote, it could mean lot of things, if you recall episode 1, their friendship was quirky and of course they're in good terms, but it doesn't mean they'll get together.

Ko is not obligated to inform Ohana about his relationship, she was the one that she won't be relying on him anymore and trying to forget him and move on with her life at the Inn. Not sure he understood what she was trying to come across, but thats a different problem.

As for my thoughts on the episode, I don't really care what happens to Minchi or Tohru - both have kinda aggravated me with their stubborn ways, and even after Tohru discovered Minchi liked him there seems to have been little, if any, development between the two.
Its been a few days and like you stated, both of them are bit stubborn and awkward for the time being. We can only speculate that their future will be good together.

Really hoping for OhanaxKo to make up for the failed relationship development I've seen so far, especially since they just left Ko and the librarian girl out of the picture half the season. There'd better be a good resolution.
This series is about only romance, its focus on Ohana development overall, but I'll be happy if she and Ko end up together, but she gotta work for it!

Well it's really too bad there was nothing to say he did that to all tables nor they show at all at the other tables it was like that. So the assumption is highly open it could have been for Minko only. It could go either way is what I am saying. Since I am a Minko x Tooru shipper, I shall leave my imagination to what I mentioned.

*Hopes a lot for Tooru x Minko kiss*

No as you can see in the following,

he looks quite happy to be proud of himself for who he is to Ohana. Right?

I really wish I didn't have to go into detail but this lack of awareness concerning the differentiation of personal pronouns indication has motivated me into providing a vindication with respect to the recent events.

I will start this dicusssion by arguing that Ko is, contrary to popular beliefs, not as a nice person as he was thought and formatted to be, let alone his puppy, less desirable than Tofu...I mean, Tohru... 's noble profile. I will present evidence that neither Ko nor its devotees have dealt squarely or clearly with the fact that it is cowardice on Ko's part to convince the worst classes of uninformed dissemblers there are that there is absolutely nothing they can do besides from buying his less-than-convincing and amateurish so-called "idealistic personification" that, since the abyss of time, has been a set of nonsensical moralistic beliefs imposed by our naive homo sapiens to justify human's might over the rest of the biological kingdoms. Unfortunately, I have to put aside such an intriguing debate aside in order to solely focus on the current issue at hand.

As previously stated, Ko talks the talk, but does it walk the walk? After days of agonized pondering and reflection, I finally came to the conclusion that a central fault line runs through each of Ko's actions. Specifically, Ko's thesis is that Ohana is the havoc of his life puts him into a damsel in distress position, thus earning bonus exp pity pts from spectators but is it really her fault that his life became so miserable? Does he have the right to lie to his own subjects or to other interpersonal relations? That's utterly vulgar, you say? Good; that means you're finally catching on. The next step is to observe that far too many people tolerate Ko's sophistries as long as they're presented in small, seemingly harmless doses. What these people fail to realize, however, is that the point at which you discover that Ko's blatant indifference towards the feelings of others is due to intense misunderstanding, suspicion, and fear is not only a moment of disenchantment. It is a moment of resolve, a determination that the purpose of this vindication is far greater than to prove to you how avaricious and poxy Ko has become.

When I first heard about Ko's rantings, I dismissed them as merely illogical since he's such a sweetheart. But when I later learned that it wants me to self-censor my critique of it, I realized that Ko is too blinkered to notice Ohana's feelings, probably due to his monstruous effort in victimizing himself. Some of the facts I'm about to present may seem shocking. This they certainly are. However, it's vital to show that all characters have serious personal problems, including Ko. In fact, the way Ko keeps his disciples loyal to him is by encouraging and exacerbating these problems rather than by overcoming them. And when he was called out on his wrongdoings, he resorted on stringing Ohana's unstable mental state to further tantalizing her by remaining imperturbable upon being questioned about his stand on the romantic scale, which is imposed by the feather weight Ohana versus the heavyweight big p*****. How did Ko get so amoral? I have my theories, but they're only speculation. At any rate, it is driving me nuts. I can't take it anymore! Believe it or not, I really want to believe that Ko is a decent, honest individual. Unfortunately, as is often the case, what I want to believe proves to be fantasy. The truth is that Ko's hariolations are not our only concern. To state the matter in a few words, I believe I have found my calling. My calling is to falsify the illusional shards that Ko has inflicted on his believers that adhere as strongly as a covalent bond into their epithelial tissues

His prestidigitation was amusing and harmless at first but gradually it becomes so virulent that it's now a pandemic disease that can only be cured by the unfolding of the remaning episodes and hopefully by the end of this crusade, the enchantened people will snap out of their curse and finally realize why this was such as a pressing matter...

This episode was amazing. Really, really amazing. Kinda saddens me that Ohana and Tohru might not happen anymore, but Ko did say in the preview "Ohana, you're like bland coffee" so who knows.

The whole relationship aspect of the show is complicated. Ko like(s/d) Ohana, Ohana at least likes Ko, Minko likes Tohru, and Tohru likes Ohana. The only thing that would make it more complicated was if Ko liked Minko instead (oh god, that would be an amazing couple).

edit: I love you, @BitchMaster, for that last post.

This ep really made me hate Minchi. The way she acted was so selfish and immature it was hard to watch lol.

Glad to see the wedding go nicely though.

I still think Takako is faking it.

This was just hilarious to read.

Interesting ending! My guess is the name is being killed. Hand over the building, let it go in a new direction? Really, how could she want to lay everyone off? o_o

That's what I see it as. However, there may be some hidden meaning particularly because of the specific word choice. Sealing instead of closing. We'll see!

Not only is "Love" written in big letters on the sashimi plate in front of Minko, but if you'll remember when she was talking about a one-sided love to Tohru he called her "stupid". I think that's a pretty firm indication that he actually does care about her. His problem is that he sees himself as a mentor towards her, and that complicates relationships.

And I'm going to ship Beanman x Madame Manager. After all, he caught the bouquet....

This show is unbelievably cheesy.

But it's allright, I'm still into it.

The wedding was well done (well, except for that ear-bleed inducing "singing"), but more importantly things are looking interesting. There are actually two things I would like to see in the final episodes. First would be that Ko entered a relationship with the girl who had a crush on him, and he has to reject Ohana. Second: Ohana's determination to preserve Kissuiso yields some kind of result. Either starts a new one, or somehow manages to convinces the Landlady to entrust it to her.

What I would prefer not to see is Ko and Ohana ending up together, and Ohana returning to the city.

Minchii got friendzoned and as much as I like her, this was the realistic solution to her crush. One has to move on. 5/5.

I'm surprised that I'm one of the only ones that actually wants Tohru and Minko to end up together. It would be such a middlefinger if Ohana ended up with Tohru even though she just admitted to have a crush on Ko. They will probably just leave out the the Tohru x Minko romance, because of the lack of episodes and end that part of the story with Minko saying that she will keep on trying etc.

What was up with that scene with Tohru and Minko though, I mean he basically says that hes not interested in her, but that he still watches over her. That's way to vague tbh.

Maybe I'll start reading the manga, since it might be longer than the anime.

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut?! Sealing the doors of Kissuiso(sp?), eh? Can't say I'm too surprised since they are having a hard time paying the bills. I wonder how everyone's going to react.

Looking forward to the next episode.

This show always puts a big smile on my face and I really enjoyed this episode. A couple of points even seemed to be moving the plot forward!

And I was happy to have another nano.RIPE song as the insert song/ED.
Anyone know the name of it?

Oho~ So the vocalist of nano.RIPE is now a seiyuu too? :D; I prefer her as a vocalist though. o_o; Her seiyuu voice is not exactly music to the ears.
