Heh they're giving more screen time between Hiroe and Eiko this episode. Tbh, Hiroe didn't look too good.

So many hairpins for Eiko though! Lucky girl but I think she felt a bit overwhelmed lol

A episode about Eiko and the teacher who seem to be getting close to each other in an almost romantic way.
I guess we could expect somewhat of a forbidden relationship between the two which would be interesting to watch.

The teacher is the one person Eiko can't conquer. XD
Well she does technically admit that their teacher is her type. xD

I loved the moment where she walks out and wonders how after feeling like she was winning all this time, she lost. XD

That ED card. :o

Eiko's Birthday and the no good, very drunk Sensei! No show! Bad show! No yuri undertones between teacher and student! Meh episode really, not one shot of Shion and her big, beautiful tits! Feh!

That was honestly a great episode and I'm quite shocked at the fact that I liked the Eiko-Kiyose interactions as much as I did, it just worked so well.

I'm actually wondering if it's going to take a pretty dark turn by the end of the series - All the girls are hiding secrets which could cause problems between them.

At the moment, it could go either way :

Either Hana can tell her friends her secret before anyone else can and Eiko and co accept it without any problems.

Or

Eiko hears it from a very drunk Kiyose (either due to spite on Kyose behalf or Kyose thinking she's helping Hana) and no longer accepts Hana's friendship.

I'm heading towards the second option myself : Whilst Eiko obviously likes her teacher, it's hard to tell whether Kiyose feels the same or dislikes her.

I liked Eiko's interactions with their sensei, but it seemed to be just randomly placed. It was funny, but they could've fit it into the flow better. Eiko had too many hair pins, even though it was her birthday. She was really happy that their sensei was wearing a necklace she made, and she told Hana her secret. It made Hana a bit more comfortable about telling her friends her secret some time, so the episode advanced that sub-plot, at least.

I don't know why but I feel a really strange bad vibe from Eiko.
What is she doing outside at this moment in the night ? (When she meets drunk Sensei)

She stays at Teacher's home. And seems to have feelings for her.

I thought it was a cute and innocent anime but something feels really weird and I don't enjoy it.

I think Eiko has some other secret that she's not telling anyone about - after all, she didn't mention her sister nor the fact that she makes jewellery...

I love the teacher so much tbh, best character for me and her design is great.
the episode is bad imo tho because i'm not sure anymore which genre or way it wants to go in, we see episodes where this is just friends doing stuff and then we see some other episodes with them wanting to fuck each other it's just all over the place and that makes it seem horrible.
Phenomenal animation nonetheless.

When Hana and Eiko talk about secrets and stuff, I felt like Eiko (+ everyone maybe?) knows already (6th sense?) about Hana's situation, or maybe I just think too much :P

Hana, it's okay to tell already :( don't worry too much.

My reaction:



I suppose people who had read the manga were expecting this, but it got me by surprise. I still prefer the "slow start" plot though. Next week it will be revealed that Tama-chan comes from the future. Kamuri is still hiding her dragon nature from the others so it shouldn't be that great a deal.

I knew there was something going on between the two based on their interactions the previous episodes but that's some quality yuri ship right there. Think that's the first time I've seen a yuri teacher x student pairing.

Eiko putting on all those hairpin was cute.

A lot of focus on Eiko this episode, having to help her own teacher get home cause she was drunk is kinda funny, especially after the teacher said she's the adult.

As always, a nearly excessive amount of implied yuri surrounding Eiko...

Eiko is quite open about her intent to pursue the teacher and is actively working at it. Teacher's casual behavior is triggering Eiko's sensitive side. Eiko's reaction to Kamuri's comment suggests that she also feels committed to be with Kamuri and is just out to have fun with all the other girls.

I.E. Eiko belongs to Kamuri, and all others belong to Eiko.
She just seems to be having a hard time making the teacher fall for her without falling for her first (Teacher is "winning" Eiko's affection before Eiko can win teacher's)

Still, this show is filling the cuteness quota - and that's all that really matters.
All that loli glomping makes it just that much better...

Lolis FTW ~!

This was the best episode Slow Start has had so far, and that's even with (imo) receiving negative points from me personally for the awkward teacher-student insinuation. Other than that, it was entertaining and actually interesting, which for me it hasn't been most of the season.

Eiko could have guessed already and their little talk was insinuating that she knew already or that she knows that Hana has a secret, but doesn't know what.

The yuri-baiting was very strong for this episode, with almost all of it focused on birthday girl Eiko. It's a shame that she coudn't keep the huge amount of hair-clips on her all day, since it looked really nice on her.

It's also the first episode where Enami-sensei got a lot of screentime too. Who knows what Eiko was doing in the evening, but it was really kind of her to help the drunk Enami back to her apartment and stayed for the night as well, as awkward as it sounds. =P

Eiko was also kind enough to show her secret sight-seeing relaxation spot to Hana and told her about her hobby of making her own accessories that she wears, but also goes on sale at her family's variety shop, in which Enami brought one of her necklaces that she made. I'm hoping now that this will give Hana more confidence to tell her friends about her actual age and starting high school a year late, since I'm sure that they'll fully understand and support her even more. =)

Ah, such lovely Yuri bait lol

I mean, it was already implied Eiko liked flirting around with girls, but she's into the older types, eh.

Either way, still very cute and heart-warming :)

By far the best episode. You can see what a bond these four girls share together and this was a delight to watch here.

I feel like they cranked up the animation again, too, they just keep this up :o

The second part was really heartwarming. Eiko and the teacher had the best chemistry for all of them.

I didn't expect what happened but I'm very satisfied. The chemistry between Enami and Eiko is great, she always likes to flirt with girls but loses very easily with the teacher. I totally support the Eiko x Enami now.

Hairpin Christmas tree! :D

Nice, Sensei! I guess that's a tie in the end, they both can equally play each other. :D

Can't beat Kamu, though. ^_^

She really is a good teacher in the end, though...

Drunk Sensei sure has problems... :D

Kamu might just have reason to get jealous here, Eiko's so good at seducing even their teacher... Or is it the other way around...? These two really are pretty similar, and affect each other in similar ways as well.

Wait... Did Eiko make that necklace? (later: And there we go, confirmed!)

Hana is quite sharp at times. And at other times overthinking things too much.

Hana sure gets a lot of hugs this episode.

Don't know why but to me I have a strong feeling that Eiko is actually older than she seems...I would ship her and the teacher together as I actually look at Eiko as being like Hana - for some reason she is behind in school.

that's just me though...probably.

I wouldn't say she's a particularly good teacher - aside from the fact she doesn't like her job much, most of what she does after sobering up is really to save herself

That can be taken multiple ways really - it's hard to tell if Kiyose is happy that Hana made friends quickly, jealous or completely indifferent.
