| Rural slice of life is the best kind. Encounters with wildlife (on a smaller scale, in this case) spice up the ongoings quite a bit. Shiori's cool demeanour regarding the handling of that incident was commendable. The ex-actress seems intriguing too. Manju still are scary, though... |
| Too bad they only sold 4 manjuu box all throughout the week. I need a Riri gif. |
 |
| Great episode! Is a shame that this is already super underrated and being ignored by most. |
| Didn't like it as much as the first episode but I'll keep watching. I liked the otaku girl's bedroom. And MANDRAKE. |
| Overbought manju and aoi gets help from more girls but they fail miserably :( They went about it right but not enough focus on the fact it's made in the town. |
 |
| The girls are now complete. They really got tough time with the manju selling. Such a fun and cute episode. Impressive ED, I like it. |
 |
| I have a thing for anime in rural settings, and I really like this thus far. I can feel that the MC will get a lot of development down the road. I also like the more realistic approach to this in like how setting up tourism is a tough task etc. Looking forward to the rest. |
| As someone who grew up in a more rural/small town setting, I find the rural SOL shows to be enchanting bits of nostalgia, or maybe pseudo-nostalgia as I did not grow up in rural Japan. This ep was pretty good. I liked it better than ep 1, which I also had fun watching, but I enjoyed the feel of this ep more. It was humorous to see the quintet fail so miserably. I like how the more people added to the effort, the less boxes of manju they sold. Almost "Murphy's Law: The Anime." That which can go wrong, will go wrong. As others have pointed out, at least there was not some cheap "everyone shows up and buys all the boxes" conclusion. I'm guessing that Yoshino's decision to stay until the cherry blossoms appear has more to do with her new friends than anything else. |
| that was really nice |
 |
| Pretty difficult trial to start with, was wondering what she would do to pull this off. Got all five of the main girls in to take part and it's only the second episode, but unfortunately, selling 1000 of those things was too much. I look forward to seeing what happens next. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Both OP and ED are gonna be released in June 7th, if anyone's wondering. Also MANDRAKE. is it too early to give this 8 |
| No seriously. |
| i like the great R&B style ending song |
| The five champions gathere'd Cute video but good luck |

| Well i really did hype for this show, while it's quite disappointing but can't really judge the show yet. On top of that, i noticed some progress on this episode although it's not very significant. Anyway i'll try my patience with this one, pacing got a bit better and the ED is really nice. |
| I really missed you, P.A Works. One of the bests of the season IMO The ED is amazing |
| Man, I just want to say that these girls are absolute love. Great character designs with each of them having distinct personalities. Sanae looking good in those glasses. It's a shame they couldn't sell well, but it's undeniable Yoshino had much fun doing this with the girls than applying to jobs and getting rejected. I guess bit by bit she'll come to fully stay. ED is so great. SakurasouBusters said: Great episode! Is a shame that this is already super underrated and being ignored by most. I definitely agree, but i think it'll end up with a better score as is with SoL and such anime. |

| yoo i fucks with this eps more characters added spice to this eps as well i enjoyed all their interactions with eachother and the ED mann i lovee it |
| This anime is seriously great, the animation is good, the character designs are incredibly good and the whole cast and idea are super cute. Looking forward to more of this. |
| :3 |
| This show is very normal. Normal in a pleasant way. I will continue watching, though I may not last for the entire show. Shiori is a good reason to keep watching. I like her optimistic nature. |
| Current favourite: [Cross Ange: Tenshi to Ryuu no Rondo] |
| This is going to be a fun and kinda relaxing anime to watch. Really enjoying the new characters that are being introduced though. They make a nice balanced cast that's not super overwhelming. The animation is beautiful as expected 10/10 for that. I'm excited to see how this season goes. |

| -is there grass-fed organic chupacabra inside those manju or was it just a name -in an unexpected turn of events the dorm manager is actually a squatter named Maki -turns out the manju only had chupacabra prints on them -wait just a goddamn minute weren't the boxes only supposed to have 10 manju inside them -wouldn't it be kinda counterproductive to fire a saleswoman that can sell 1000 boxes of food in a week, or keep her for a year if she failed -riri seems like a qt but what was up with her eyes in that one scene -S U C C G O A T -prospective web designer listening to the op while working -she looks dead inside, her place looks like a dump, and it seems her blog is full of lies. that's actually the opposiite of what i was expecting her to be like -top 10 anime battles -why you gotta animate all these bugs pa works -it just occurred to me that shiori never having seen maki before was because she never bothered to check the inside of the living quarters and not because maki was a squatter -shiori just keeps on guilt-tripping yoshino -wait did they even formally introduce sanae? yoshino just referred to her by name out of the blue halfway through the episode -That little conversation between Yoshino and Sanae is probably charting out how the rest of the show will be, with Yoshino coming to terms with the reality of how idealistic her perception of Tokyo is -L I M I T E D E D I T I O N -which is kinda weird since kadota was talking about mass-producing the manju if they sold well -tehurn.com/not -yo this jazz track is pumpin -that camera's fancy -idk why but i like riri's voice -alright the end of the promo video when they went all sellout was pretty nice -Not really a fan of the visuals of the ED because having the heroines mouth the lines of the song struck me as super weird, but I would be lying if I said the song itself wasn't catchy. So I looked over it again, and they did totally skip over a formal introduction of Sanae. They just kinda... started calling her by name out of the blue. Kinda weird since this episode was all about character introductions and they forgot to introduce one of the 5 who's classified as a main. Anyway, this episode was focused a ton on character introductions and developing a reason why Yoshino would inevitably choose to stay in Manoyama. Maki and Ririko seem pretty cool so far, but Sanae's a total slob (as well as a compulsive liar, it seems) and Shiori loves using guilt trips. It looks like Yoshino's gonna be receiving the bulk of the character development in this show, but I'm not really feeling her "not a normie" catchphrase because that's all she's been demonstrated to be. Aside from the character introductions, nothing stood out about the episode too much aside from the video and for that one conversation between Sanae and Yoshino about her expectations for Tokyo. I still love the backgrounds, though. |
 |
| Maki best girl Cant wait for the next episode |
| Needs more yoshino reaction faces. ED still great. |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| That ED song tho... holy mother fcking hell... Message of the song is soothing and calm as hell with some sad effects. Whenever a gentle breeze Carries a feeling of loneliness... Whenever I'm alone and uncertain... Do you mind if I rely on you? We change. We make mistakes. But it's almost like I was given... (A memory, from you...) ...something precious from you. Thank you for giving me courage! (Until the day I see you again...) I became the reliable person That I always imagined becoming. Now I can always feel beside me The encouragement and warmth That I'd been taking for granted. I can finally stand here and say, "I'm home"! |
  |
| The commercial was hilarious! |
 |
| Another good episode, loved how they had Yoshino her first task as the queen right away, even if they didn't sell much and she lost her wager with Mr. Kadota, we got to see the characteristics of our five main characters in unison. The mood was conveyed across very well as I didn't think it was a chore to see Yoshino pushing herself to move out of this rural town, but she actually meant to succeed in her task wholeheartedly, this is the best slice of life show I've started so far this season. |
| "..beautiful (based on individual opinion) queen.." reminds me of "PhoneWave (name subject to change)" |

| No idea why this is only 7.2, Sakura Quest is super fun, and the comedy is really well done. Another great episode I like the amount of work they put in and it seems like they're getting a lot more passionate about their work. Im curious about each girls past work as well. |

| The pacing is pretty slow, but I like it so far. I think I'll definitely stick around for this show. |
 |
| not everything is in Tokyo...soon Koharu would change heart and would come to accept and love the town of Manoyama! Looks like the five girls are instantly formed on episode 2! that was fast... 4/5. |
 |
| Now that's a pretty tough task. All them boxes to sell but good thing she found help. I'm really liking Shiori in general, warm character who treasures her town so much and caring. In general this is becoming one of my favorites this season, and that ED is so good. |
 |
| It is Shirobako all over XD. It is really funny and interesting seeing Yoshino working so hard like Miyamori. Maybe she is Miyamori 2.0 (not Hideaki Anno Reference :P). Nice episode, and I am happy that I will get 25 eps of this :) |
 |
| This show's definitely starting to come together a bit more. Now that we've assembled the moe working girls squad. And since it took the time to acknowledge and explain how strange the Chupakabura stuff is. I still think it has a weak concept in comparison to Shirobako. But as it comes into its own I might not feel that way as strongly. It definitely seems like it has a well defined cast, with strong chemistry and interactions. And its premise is unique and I think could allow it to tell some pretty interesting stories. Hoping this one goes from pretty good to great. |
 |
| Not a drama fan, I only watch this show for Koharu. Her overall design (face+clothes) is so kawaii. And normal. You don't see many normal young girls (without huge boobs / overly-curved hip) in anime nowadays. Well this is drama so one might say it should be expected, but like I said, I'm not a drama fan, haven't seen Shirobako either. Overall episode's a bit boring & too normal, which may be a good or bad thing depending on what you're expecting on this kind of show. I appreciate a bit of morale lessons here and there though. Like how a life in metropolis isn't all gold like most country/rural people expected. I think it's relevant even outside Japan. Except for the "mini-nation" tourism program of course. |

| I somehow want to help them promote their place because it's full of lovable people, and it's a really beautiful place. Ugh. And I want to buy at least 30 boxes of those manju. Haha. Sigh. I love this anime so far. |

| Well they at least tried! Looking forwards to see what's next. |
 |
| Aye, they actually addressed the chupacabra in Japan thing. |
 |
| The whole gang joined up without ruining the pace, definitely looking forward for more. |
| The girls made a hilarious video, but sadly their selling are not going so well. |

| hottttt. she so hot yoshino chan. hottt |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
