| Lovely episode. Because Ohana is overdoing it so much she collapsed. Very nice to see everyone telling to rest and bringing her food and all that. Really shows how much everyone cares about her. =) While bringing her food it was real obvious that Tooru is looking at her in a romantic way. I wonder if this'll eventually go anywhere because of Kouichi and Minko. When they said they can make do without her she really took it the wrong way and started to doubt that they really need her. Of course this is not the case, but I think Ohana didn't hear Nako because she fell asleep. Therefore it looks like she's still going to (try and) leave in the next episode! =( |
 |
| I busted out laughing at those two at the end being denied to see Ohana, lol. On the side note, Nako being so enthusiastic and talking so much about how she doesn't want Ohana to leave made me smile :) |

| loved it. im not really liking how Tooru is becoming interested in Ohana(Tho i cant blame him) But i cant help but feel really bad for Minko, i just dont wanna see her heart get broken. But he doesnt seem to show any interest at all in her so its not looking too good :( Also her relationship with Ohana is improving somewhat and it seems like this could fuck it up. But ill admit it would make for some great drama. And personally, i want to see Ohana end up with Kouichi. shadesofblack07 said: can someone tell me what the girl and the fox in ohana's dream may symbolize? I was wondering about that as well. But now im bummed i have to wait for the next episode, since i was holding off on this series until it was completed so i could marathon it. But when i found out it was gonna be 26 episodes i just figured id go ahead and start it. Oh and it was funny at the end to see Tarou on his way back to her room with another one of his novels to read her, and then getting turned away along with that other guy. I wouldnt be surprised if this series got a 10 from me by the time it ends. It has an excellent mix of drama, comedy, and slice of life. I love the art and the character designs too. |

shadesofblack07 said: can someone tell me what the girl and the fox in ohana's dream may symbolize? If I remember correctly Ohana's dream takes place at an Inari shrine. It's the same shrine they showed a bunch of episodes earlier, and I seem to recall Kitsune statues when Ohana and Nako were there in that episode. So the girl and the fox is the god(ess) Inari and her messenger fox. Although, Kitsune should technically be completely white. But I don't know how important that detail is. |

| Hmm, pretty good but kind of confusing. With the TV going on and off and stuff half the time I didn't know if it was actually happening or Ohana was hallucinating or something O_O Wow Tohru's really into Ohana now huh? I feel bad for Minko D; How old is he, anyway? I mean his friend got MARRIED and Ohana's only 16 isn't she? O_O Interesting dream with Ko and foxes and stuff in it, I don't really get it though :S If she ends up with anyone I'd prefer it to be Ko to be honest :S Ah, that Nako speech was really sweet though :3 I mean she thinks that the inn running without her is a bad thing but it's actually good ...? Something like that? O_O Looks like her mom in the preview though, not too sure what it's gonna be about really? O_O |
| Pretty touching episode, I feel sad for Ohana, she does a lot too make everyone happy and everyone doesn't notices it till now. Hehe I can guess Tohru has a crush on Ohana, Minchi tsundere emotions trying to admit she needs Ohana and Nako trying to put Ohana to rest; such good friends :D |
| Why did they put the TV on every time? If I am sick I don't want that stupid TV making sounds while I'm trying to sleep. And wasn't that writing on Ohana's face a Jigglypuff reference? |

Some people like having the TV on when they're sleeping or lonely. My dad couldn't söeep without it. Personally I want quiet and pitch blackness, but I can't study without the TV in the background, make of that what you will. ^^ |

| somehow Ko will see her with touru and get all jealous and go on a rampage. all the while that other chick will continually get jealous of her and touru when in fact she has no interest in him. i had originally not even bothered with this show till i watched the first episode on a whim and now i am hooked. |
| Ohana, so silly that she wanted to keep working. |
| what is this i don't even... ohana x Tooru is just weird.. poor kou-chan and Minko... :/ |
 |
| It seems that Minchi already noticed Tohru's interest with Ohana~ Oh yeah, I love when Tohru feels Ohana's forehead with his forehead. xD && LOL at Madam Manager and Tomoe shoving Jiroumaru and Enishi away. |

| This anime is just... wow. So awesome. Amazing. Great. I really don't know why I love this anime so much. |
 |
| kyaahhh! I <3 TooruXohana!!!! |
 |
| The end scene was really funny, enjoyed the rest of the episode too, nice show overall, easy to watch and the characters are growing on me. |
| Aw too cute, I wanna take care of someone when they're sick. :) |
| I liked the episode~ Tooru x Ohana FTW X3 |
| This episode was all over the place. It would have been better if all the events were not so out of order. The part with Tohru was cute too, though I really have to feel bad for Minchi. At least she's adult enough not to do a childish prank out of jealousy. I also completely understand why Nakochi turned the TV on. Whenever I'm sick, and I get sick a lot, I like to leave it on as well for the same reason. Plus it's always nice to have some lighting at night. It sucks when you wake up various times during the night and only see darkness. Well, waking up so many times in general just plain sucks :[ |
 |
| Eww. I'm dropping Ohana x Tohru. He seems to focus on the more 'sexual' aspects of her rather than her personality. I don't like it at ALL. I'm fully rooting for Ko now! I'm sorry I ever doubted you!! I feel the SAME exact way about TVs! If I'm sick and home alone, I want some noise in the house. Me and Nako think alike! :D |
| Oh my, my body was ready for this. |

| Ohana's grandma when she's young really resembles Ohana's mom. I wonder who's that black-haired girl w/ red yukata is?Some kind of that place deity or something? Tohru obviously have feelings for Ohana, even Minko realize it. I wonder if Ohana x Tohru will really gonna happen... LOL at that novelist, telling Ohana ero stories when she's sick. |
 |
| This has been the best episode so far. Ohana doubting herself, having a fever and being homesick, but the staff at the Inn all grown close to her and tried to watch over her in their own way. Tohru finally realizing his feeling towards Ohana, while Ohana misses Ko-Chan and Home. Tied with the Festival it was nice to see it in this setting. And Turn off the darn TV! You 'll only gain Head-Aches from it combined with a fever. |
| Best episode for me, so far. I just loved every single minute of it. It had it's dunny parts but also a lot of sad parts. Amazing atomsphere overall! Brilliant, just brilliant. Hanasaku Iroha was great in generall up to this point, but this episode set a new standart for me. |
 |
| That was a epic episode! Loving this anime!! =DD |

| I really liked the flow of this episode, how it always jumped between different times, like when somebody is really sick and loses his/her sense of time. Ohana was really cute even when she was sick and weak :) |
 |
| Holy crap, I'm totally rooted for Tooru x Ohana now. This episode revealed it all so clear ... Feel bad for Minko though, as she's so kawaii when she was smiling and taking care of Ohana next to her bed. I like her a lot when she's not tsun ... Oh well. It's so funny though that Ohana keep coming out of her bed and trying to work! |
 Toshino Kyoko!!! |
| Rather a slow episode though an interesting one, quite some humor in it as well and just a nice global story in this specific episode! I liked it how they've managed to make a person sick but still make it rather interesting! |
 |
| Finally, the best episode since the first few. Ohana sick eating a strawberry is amazingly cute. |
 |
| Loved it! Superb episode, touched my heart, at times the atmosphere was so sad, I loved it! * ^ * The depths and designs are always sublime, beautiful even the comic. The best slice of life ever seen! |
 |
| yes! XD AWESOME! XD poor ohana :/ she get sick :'( but she is still cute XD damn she is look so ero ero lol XD btw tohru worried about her? hee.... kind feel sad for minko :/ btw that moment when tohru trying to "checking" ohana XD |
| Poor Minchi, Tohru has a bit more than a crush on Ohana. Speaking of which, 37.9 is really not that bad where I come from. Hallucinations, really? The manager was quite a stunner in her day, huh? |

| This was a nice and relaxing episode, seems like tsundere Minchi is finally showing her dere side openly. I liked the bonding and the sweet but simple message as to what Ohana meant to everyone there. Ever since the episode where they thought Tohru left for the other inn, it seemed as though there were subtle hints at him paying attention to Ohana more and more. I feel like something clicked back when Tohru said something like "so you were the only one who tried to bring me back." |
 |
| For an episode that seems mostly like filler, this was a really good episode |
| I wonder when Minko Touru and Ohana will get this love triangle out of the way. So much hinting. The marker scene really reminds me of my teens when my friends and I would use markers and draw on anyone that fell asleep. No one was safe 😱 Good times 😁 This episode was a bit confusing in that it was hard to differentiate the dream from the real world, but it was like you were experiencing the episode through Ohana so I thought that was pretty cool. Nako freaking out and telling Ohana to stay was cute :) Everyone trying to visit Ohana at the same time was really nice too. Everyone wants you to stay at Kissuiso, Ohana |
| Everyone cares for Ohana :') wish I could find a place like that. Nako was TOO cuteee this episode, jeez...that flustered speech xD |

 |
| Quite a heartwarming episode and the series is starting to hit its stride now. I really hope they don't go overboard with the inevitable love triangle drama with Torhu in the upcoming episodes. |
| Marathoning Iroha, best episode by a mile till now |
Seriously. Ko is a snore, Tohru is a bore, and a douche, and a Gary Stu. The only way for Minko and Ohana to win, given this pathetic selection of boys, is to not play at all. I mean, even their character designs are boring. Okada Mari wrote Anohana too (which is also a teen romantic melodrama with love triangles, ignoring the other differences), but in that show, even if you didn't find their personalities appealing or interesting, at least the boys were easily distinguishable, and varied in body type, hair, facial structure and outfits, just like the girls. The episode was better than a mixed bag, but still provided a generous helping of frustration. I don't think I've mentioned yet how much I hate it when Nako is being all "hai" and "sumimasen" with Tohru. (Which is basically every time they interact.) It's not what she says, it's how she says it. It really drills it in how painfully unbalanced their dynamic is - and it's been exactly the same for ten episodes now. I've mentioned before that I believe Tohru to be a Gary Stu (he's the ace cook, everyone seems to adore him, even Ohana is down with him now, and two episodes revolve around Ohana collecting him from places) and I strongly dislike him for being a jerk while I also find him boring (because he's not even a jerk in a funny or over-the-top way). Now I want to add that we still have no clue why he's a douchebag, we're just expected to accept it. This is lazy writing. At least we know that Minko and her parents aren't on the best terms, and her superiors (including Tohru) treat her really rough (to put it lightly), so it makes sense that she constantly lashes out at Ohana. Another fairly well executed example is the manager: it's been hinted that she's stuck in the past (which is why she has no qualms about physically punishing her employees or children), and she's a workaholic (which is why she is so single minded and constantly occupied with Inn business - well, when she's not smoking her pipe). Still, as I said, there were several good moments throughout. I liked that Nako's admittedly annoying habit of turning the TV on informed us about her family background, though the dialogue could have gone better about leading us to this revelation. And it's kind of nice how far Minko and Nako were willing to go in trying to console Ohana. But I'm not sure if there was quite enough buildup for Ohana's breakdown...  - Clicking image opens album |

| Pretty standard moe slice of life story. Main character gets sick, other characters take care of them, it's cute (supposedly). And honestly this episode was pretty cute. I thought the illness felt kind of contrived. But it has shown Ohana as being at her wits end recently. So maybe it can get some slack. The dreams with Kou-chan were REALLY dumb. Not exactly the Sopranos over here. And I want them to end this Tohru love triangle as quickly as possible. But besides that pretty fun episode. I love Nako, she's so great. Her taking care of Ohana was so cute. And even though the whole "the inn doesn't need me" conflict was dumb and forced. I was still a little moved by her frantic attempts to reassure Ohana. I wish Nako would get more focus. The show seems more interested in Tohru these days than it does with her. Maybe that will change. Also the writers story was the least annoying I've found him in awhile. |
 |
| A really nice episode. |
  |
| This episode was relatable and thus slightly frustrating... Ohana kept getting out of bed! Rest! I know how much it sucks to be super bored and also super sick though xD So now we've got Kou and glasses girl coworker, and Nako Tohru and Ohana, meaning... probably nobody's gonna end up with anybody, if my anime-senses are to be believed :P But all shall be friends. At least Minko was a bit nice when Ohana started balling, I knew she could show a little decency when it comes to it. I was also thinking, Jiroumaru writing about the manager is absurd, but... it does beg the question of whether grandma actually has a sick tattoo :o |
