Team Rat with the 2 cute Kouhais Higuruma, Hagi and team leader Tachiaoi in catching a wild boar, they're pretty outmatched if there's no plan.

The team leader's troubles with seeking a consensus from differing views, and looking at Tsubaki and how she's leading Team Dog with teamwork training, Tachiaoi attempts to imitate her style through practice, and it has an adverse effect rather on her own self-confidence and not listening to Hagi. Rather, Higuruma and Hagi were at least kind by being sympathetic to their leader's problems, and Tachiaoi is OK with going with whatever her cute kouhais wanna do. Such a warmth Team dynamic.

With the rain, everyone is staying indoors, and Mokuren is doing her thing, until Rindou summoned her because Tsubaki was sick from the common cold, and she would not allow Sazanka to go out due to the rain, so Benisumomo offers her help to get some herbs before it rains to owe a favour from Tsubaki, but both Sazanka and Asagao wouldn't let this pass. Especially Sazanka whom wants to duel with Benisumomo (and Asagao fueling the fire), she sees their effort and plays neutral for once...except that this is her usual bag of trickery. The three made it back under the rain, but not before Sazanka and Asagao had the last laugh. To Benisumomo, it's a case of babysitting both of them while Tsubaki is out, so it's a debt repayed with a favour.

Mokuren better be a better leader, and the same goes for Tachiaoi.

Benesumomo is pretty good at fooling the girls and having them do what she wants.
And she does care a great deal about Tsubaki even is she doesn't say it, it was pretty nice to watch.
Tachioai being insecure about her leadership was also nice to watch hope she will have some confidence in the future, she also needs to work on her planning.

Tachiaoi is adorable. All that worrying for nothing. She’s the perfect leader for her team. The best leaders never really feel content with their leadership and stay humble, that’s what makes them great.

I didn’t like Beni a lot before this episode but she grew on me after escorting the girls for the medicinal herbs. She’s really such a sweetie under that tough exterior.

Fun episode. This show really grew on me after a couple weeks.

Great episode! The leader of Team Rat, Tachiaoi feels that she isn't a good enough leader as she doesn't take the initiative with ideas. She sees Tsubaki and how she leads her team and decides to try become more leader like.
Her plans don't seem to be going to well though...
Her team apologise for always making up their own ideas first and she starts crying xD.
And Sazanka's hiding herb trick was nice lol.
Benisumomo never meant to take the praise in the first place.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Aw, Beni-senpai is such a sweet ninja, escorting Sazanka and Asagao, while pretending to compete with them while Sazanka thought she had outsmarted her outsmarting.

This show is fantastic. This show has grown on me over the last few episodes. I can't wait for next week's episode. If it maintains or improves its current level of quality, it will undoubtedly be one of my top five picks for this season's anime.

Tachiaoi is too unassertive to be a leader but she is the perfect for Team Rat polar opposites, Best girl Benisumomo finally got another spotlight.

Mokuren is another leader that is too gentle and kind for her own good.

Tachiaoi just needs to stick to her own style but she's already good to begin with, no need to try to be like Tsubaki.
Also it's nice to see Benisumomo supervising the girls while they search healing plants for sick Tsubaki, they really thought it was a competition xD

Team Rat have their leader worrying about her own leading style, which lead her into imitate Tsubaki and ended up making a mess. Good thing she told her underlings about it, and make everything completed without jumping into another mess. Still, she need more time to be a good leader!

The second part where Benisumomo, even if she looks not really excited about it, decide to exchange Tsubaki into leading the Team Dog with a little training session while also gathering some herb. True leadership has been shown through her eyes there, then ofc Sazanka and Asagao couldn't help but perplexed not knowing about Benisumomo real intention xd.

Mokuren also had trouble leading her own team. But as always, even if Benisumomo face not really showing any interest, she still help her friend in trouble without any more words.

Great score for Benisumomo and nice first appearance for the new team, Rat onto the show ...

  • This episode was kind of flat.
  • The scene of the elephant's ear leaf umbrella matches with the climate here, since it's the rainy season here now. (Unfortunately I haven't had such an opportunity to date.) Anyway, nice art.
  • This may not be the first time that the locations of their rooms were described, the rooms of team dog and sheep are facing each other. Benisumomo would be happy with it.

With another all girl cast, this show easily takes the SoL crown for the season.

I just feel so much love in this show, both in the characters themselves and in the team behind its creation.

OP and ED are one of the few I never feel the need to skip over.

First half was pretty wholesome, Tachiaoi is fine the way she is, though as a leader, there really is plenty of room for improvement.

Beni goated once again. If Mokuren being teleported will be a gag now, then that is absolutely great lmao, we need more Mokuren. Tsubaki, Rindou, Mokuren and Beni definitely my favorite characters in the show.

The EDs never miss man.

I really like Team Rat, Hagi was especially hilarious with how pessimistic she was, that paired with Higurama wanting to do everything dangerous makes it even better, and the leader Tachiaoi being the middle ground ties it all together. I really liked their bit in this episode.

And Benisumomo secretly looking out for Tsubaki while at the same time tricking Sazanka and Asagao was great, I really like that hidden side of Benisumomo. After credits with Mokuren and Benisumomo was good too, I want to see those two interact more.

And the Team Rat ED was a slapper like the others.

Team Rat's segment was pretty wholesome. While Tachiaoi lacks the stronger leadership skills compared to the other teams, she's a natural fit with her two teammates, who play off on each other with their respective carefree and pessimistic attitudes. I did like how both Higuruma and Hagi cheered Tachiaoi up and vowed to improve on their weaknesses. =)

Benisumomo has grown on me as well. Aside from her usual competitiveness with Tsubaki, she did a nice job in looking out for Team Dog and went out of her way to help Sazanka and Asagao in finding and bringing back medicinal herbs so that Mokuren can make the medicine to help Tsubaki. The fact Benisumomo also helped out Mokuren in the post-credit scene once again proves how kind she can be.

Team Rat's ED song was pretty good. Not the best, but I really enjoyed it.

Wait, they can just run out of Jutsu energy? The fact that this specifically applied to their Fire Jutsu makes it seem like they ran out of magic power or something, but does that apply to all their Jutsu techniques? I feel like that's one of the first tidbits we've gotten in this series about how their kunoichi abilities work, and it's nice to get some of that worldbuilding (even if it doesn't come up again).

Benisumomo is definitely one of my favourite members of this show's massive cast, and this episode definitely cemented that. I think it would've been nice to leave her true intentions a little more hidden, though (i.e. just her scene and not Tsubaki's explanation to Sazanka and Asagao).

Nice learning to be a good leader. Hagi so morbidly funny.
Beni playful babysitting the kouhais was fun, quite a personality.

Benisumomo just bamboozled the bamboozler who thought was doing the bamboozling but turned out to be the bamboozled.
Tachiaoi's got it quite rough. She's got one hell of a carefree member in Higurama and an absolute pessimist member in Hagi. It really is quite hard for her to make decisions because of the difference between the two. But we saw that she was doing quite well in making a compromise in the beginning.

She should also be more confident and shouldn't try to imitate others and it will be ok. She cares for the two girls and wants to make the best decisions, so good luck to her in future, cause she is not a bad leader at all.
I don't know how much content is left from the source but I have a feeling that Rindou is going to end up summoning someone at while bathing or at an inconvenient time.

Interesting episode that shows what different teams were doing in the same day.

Tachiaoi trying to learn how to be a leader, just do it slowly... forcing it will just ruin relationships. Just stick with being a calm and kind leader.

And then we got Tsubaki getting sick and Beni decide to go look for herbs with Sazanka and Asagao. LOL @ the girls... Sazanka doing a switchroo with the herbs. But I think Beni already knows and just want to help out a bit cause she was bored, LOL.


___ ___ ___

And afterwards,

Beni continued helping Mokuren with her herbs, such a nice girl.

Too bad only a few people knows the true Beni, cause Beni tends to act "bad/ lazy" in front of most people.

This anime is turning out to be the sleeper hit of the season in my opinion. There are so many characters and potential for more storylines and screen time like how Beni got in this one. This could be a 25 episode anime and we still wouldn't have enough screentime for all the girls. I'm not sure who my favorite character is but Tsubaki is such a likeable character with many nice traits. Looking forward to watching the next episode soon.

The rat team, poor Tachiaoi was in a mess about how to be a leader, and the girls supported him. And Tsubaki had gotten sick, and Sazanka and Asagao wanted to help him, but Benisumomo also went to make a competition. And it seemed that she had won, but no, Sazanka had the herbs, although there was one more trick there xd.
Good chapter. The ending, good version.
