Nice, summer vacation started for this show.
I love the atmosphere of this episode tbh especially with the Summer feels and fun it brings.

There's a local festival too with the characters attending. Also, dressing up for the occasion!

The girls in Yukata which was a nice sight but it was even nicer to see them have fun during the festival.
And the visited Tama's house which was nice as well seeing she lives a but more rural than the other girls.
Their classmates where funny as well.

Summer tomatoes and summer festivals! Reminds me of the tomato festival around where I live every August. Lovely yukatas girls, especially Shion's accentuating her big, beautiful tits! XD Watch out hamster girl Kamuri! Sexy ice cream finger licking! And a beautifully fitting fireworks finale. Sigh...just one more episode to go. :(

They should, but still there's a lot more in the manga, so it's time to read it, it's getting translated on Dynasty Scans.

Aw nice episode! Everyone visiting Tama was nice. Hana, I totally understand your struggle eating tomatoes like that, I've definitely had the juice splurt everywhere before XD All the girls in yukatas was nice too! Shion and Hannen bonding time was nice, seeing some of the classmates was awesome, of course the teacher making moves was awesome too ;P Plus we get some nice fireworks and aww, Hana saying she gave thanks for all the fun and friendship was really sweet :3 I wonder if they're going to end off the season with her finally telling her friends her secret? I sure hope so ... we'll see I suppose XD

That was an adorable and very fun summer festival episode. :) Hana and friends had lots of fun although I wish that their classmates would get more screen time in this anime as they only get very little dialogue whenever they make their appearances. >.<

Surprised to hear Kamuri with a deep serious voice. xD

Someone appears to be quite fond of Eiko; perhaps even more so than Kamuri-chan.




Ugh, Tama's outfit was cute as hell. They were in Dagashi Kashi country.

The summer festival type of episodes always leaves a smile on my face, mainly since summer is my favourite season of the year, and Slow Start is no exception. The girls had a fun time hanging out with each other and also encountering some familiar faces from school as well. The red-eyed girl seems to be obsessive of Eiko that would give even Kamuri a run for her money. =P

As for the outfits, Tama's casual outfit looked really hot on her and the yukatas looked fabulous too. For a smll bonus, there was a small fanservice shots of Kamrui and Hana's undies while changing into the yukata, which was nice. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The surprising moment of the episode was at the end, where Kamuri's voice did a 180 and sounded pretty seductive. =3

Only one episode left now. I'm guessing that Hana might attempt to tell her friend about her ronin status next time and if she does, I'm sure that she won't have anything to worry about. =)

At first, I found Tama-chan kinda annoying at the beginning of the series because of her random comments but with every episode, I've been finding her more and more cute and adorable to be honest. She's such a nice girl :)

As always, the festival ep. says present and this one was really nice to watch.

P.S.: For some reason, it's a pleasure for my eyes to see Eiko being owned in her own game xD

Normally, I don't like the overly hyper girls, but Tama is just freakin' adorable.

And when Kamuri gets serious, she gets serious, holy fuck.

Nice sexual tension between Eiko and the teacher

Finally, another episode with the appropriate amount of cuteness.

The saying: "too much is just about right" totally applies to the cuteness levels of this show.

Kamuri is such a food monster. She can just eat and eat. Eiko is amazingly good at winning their teacher over. That ice cream finger licking scene was too good. Hannen and Shion have so much fun together. Hannen is really good at knocking those stuffed animals over and making a scene about her no tardiness nor absence declaration. Their other classmate gave such a death stare about not taking the fixed sandal. Too cute and funny. Slow Start certainly does grow on you when you let it.

The Yuri feel was heavy in this episode. Especially with Hannen x Shion AND Enami-sensei x Eiko. Though this episode gave me exactly what I wanted.

This summer party, was one of the best I've seen in recent years if I remember correctly. The merit I attribute to Tama and Kamuri, for their sympathy, to Hana for his genuine sincerity, but also Hannen and Shion have helped with their presence. The scene when they go to buy tomatoes, reminded me so much of a similar scene seen in the anime series "Non Non Biyori". Nice storytelling, especially for the many well-chosen scenes, including the best one with Tama-chan.

That effect's quite creative, took me by surprise.

Lots of word puns & rhythms as usual. Wish I'd learn more Japanese to appreciate more.

Tamate & Tomatoes everywhere.
Whole tomato in miso soup... wut?
Flat is justice even for yukatas.
Hamster Hamuri has Hagane no Hoppeta (cheeks of steel).
Miki & others + Saber in the crowd.
Tamaya! Tamate!

Calm festival episode.. Girls in yukatas look cute, I guess.. Interesting that teacher Enami enjoys fireworks by herself.. And Hiroe is actually sporty, or at least good at that ball hitting toys game?.. Despite her staying longer at her place for some time.. Well, good for her.. ;p

Really cute and fun summer festival episode.

Those Sachi x Eiko and Enami-sensei x Eiko scenes were nice. Lol at Hana's reaction.

Kamuri looked hilarious while eating. x3

The girls had so much fun. They looked cute in their yukatas. :)

Shion and Hiroe were also enjoying their time together.
