Hanasaku Iroha: A Yandere Girl's Love-Triangle Story...


The love between the two girls may have been a predestination...


Suddenly, she's involved in a complicated love triangle between Minko and Nako...


But Ohana had a depressing childhood, which resulted her yandere personality...

Haha, good one stevewiess01.

This episode was really good, Ohana is so cute and she tries so hard this episode to make everyone happy, sadly, things just keep going wrong. I really liked how she forced the other two girls to talk to her.

Oh dear the nice boat might come at the end, not good, not good at all. The Yandere love triangle does not help at all.

Hahaha that's hilarious. Funny thing is, all those screenshots are actually from the episode xD

Seriously speaking though, it's obvious that the writer is just trying to save himself some money, which is dirty on his part. Oh, and his award winning "story" is certainly rather disturbing if you think about it... =.=;;

Ohana is a pretty admirable girl here; all the unfortunate stuff happening to her really sucks. Then again, at times she is a bit too headstrong, but at least she recognizes this and tries to change herself.

Also, her rather up in the face confrontation with Nako and Minchi certainly took me by surprise :o The grandma is still being tough, but maybe it's just "tough love", eh?

Well, that's certainly a cliff-hanger.
Love the direction this is going, I was expecting some sort of comedic moe-blob but I'm getting a coming-of-age style of story instead.

I have found the old hag to be more or less .. well a grouchy old woman, PA works tend to have some adults if not most who are VERY unlikeable , which then they try to have redeemed. I doubt ill ever buy into it though.

LOL at stevewiess01's comment, good one xD

I cannot believe I could have missed this anime entirely cuz initially I had no intention of watching it. It was only after hearing some favourable comments that I checked it out, and boy, does it deliver.
After the first episode that caught me by surprise with its quality, this one was even better. I loved every minute of it, and it rarely happens that I get hooked this early in an anime. If it continues like this, it just may be this spring's gem.
Can't wait to find Minko and Nako's backstories.

Oh, and I thoroughly dislike that leech writer, hope he gets what he deserves.
5/5 for the episode

I'm appreciate that al least, they give us a great + normal show rather than tons of ecchi/stupid plot out there...

The art in this show is the best part about it in my opinion. The scenery spares no detail. Pretty good episode overall, we'll see how they handle the perv attack next week. I'm guessing this will happen:

That's one messed up cliffhanger and i am really interested at what's going to happen next.
I thought this was a pretty good episode it explained a little bit about Ohana's past but it also showed why the others of the staff thought bad of her.
Nako is very shy till the part where it's almost insane i hope she overcomes some of her shyness in future episodes.
Since that shyness was partly the reason why Ohana got in trouble.

Minko should speak her mind a bit more she seems very scared of the manager and the assistant cook and i think they would treat her better if she says something about it.
All what she was doing now was diverting her rage at others in this case mainly Ohana.
I found it interesting when Ohana confronted her and Nako it was a very nice scene especially them ending up in that washing room.

That writher was really a jerk treating pretty much all of the staff in such a way, if he didn't want his work to be thrown away he should have cleaned it up himself.
Since it would not have been thrown away if he didn't make such a mess.
I also understand now why he didn't want the police to be involved since what he wrote would have gotten him in trouble.

Ohana learned to be more reliant on other people and it was pretty nice to see her confront the others girls.
I also like how she speaks up to her grandmother which makes me wonder whether her grandmother would accept her at some point.

The grandmother should be a bit more considerate i think most of her words are a bit to harsh on the staff and truly undeserved.
There still young and they have still allot to learn but that doesn't mean she has to be harsh on them.

This episode was awesome! I loved every part of it!...except for Minko being an ungrateful brat again. I mean, really now! All Ohana's been trying to do is help her, and she thanks her by telling her to die on a regular basis!? COME ON!!! Plus I cheered when Ohana set her and Nako straight. I want to see more of that! I seriously wish Minko would just loosen up a bit and stop thinking everybody's against her! I can't wait to see more of this show!

My suspicion is that there was no missing draft--the "author" is just using the opportunity to scam a free month at the resort. Not only a scam artist but a pervy rapist as well, I don't think it's a coincidence that Ohana's name is on the story/fantasy.

Aside from the disturbing cliff hanger, this was a really sweet episode. Loved the backstory on her mom missing school visitation day. Too bad that Ohana's mother didn't have better parenting skills (although she did eat the broccoli and read the message which showed she accepted Ohana's disappointment).

I can't wait till we get Minko's back story. Based on how well they are fleshing out the characters, I'm sure we'll find that there is a good reason why she is that way.



I'm already expecting this to be one of the highlights of the season.

That's one point the other point is that running away doesn't solve the problem.
Sometimes it's best to take these kind of things head on and i think Ohana did that pretty well with Minko and Nako.
Tho she could have gone up against others to but this also applies to Minko as she also needs to stand up more for herself seeing how she is treated.

As Sirwence mentioned some people would try to run away, but are you planning on always running away when things go bad?
Things don't always go the way you want them to go but remember that there is always a possibility to solve it besides if you run away from it you might regret it latter on.

I still can't tell if I'll love this show or hate it. Some of the drama in this anime pisses me right off, it feels so out of place and fake. Others parts are great and well done, so it's hard to say if this anime will turn out good or not.

Just in my opinion though...

The idea of there actually being no draft passed through my mind as well. And Ohana's name? Scary coincidence - and I don't really believe in coincidences.

This episode was just as good as the first one. I love Tooru's character. No, wait, I love all the characters in some way. Tooru, Minko, and of course Ohana, would be my favorites. I don't know what it is, but Tooru keeps reminding me of Sunda from Fractale. Oh, and I love that song he was playing in the car. I want.

Loving the OP. Beautiful animation and a great song.

She's pretty funny while chopping the grass. Their waitress uniform sure is complicated. That other girl is so shy it's painful, I hope by the end of this show she comes out of her shell.

I just love Minko so far, it's nice to see a series filled with girls, yet they aren't completely friendly with each other all the time. She totally has a crush on that chef guy too, I bet.

I love Ohana too, and her name. She's not a complete idiot or airhead. And I loved how they had a radio playing during the scene in the car, it added a lot for some reason. It's pretty funny she tried to copy Minko, but instantly felt bad about it afterwards. Loved the scene where she forces the others to tell her their least favorite food.

The ED theme is awesome, I love sphere. Can't wait for that to be released. The animation is nothing too special, but I do like how the camera is moving when it shows the girls, instead of just a still picture. Makes it more interesting to look at.

Also, I did not even realize that the girl with the pigtails in the OP is Nako, until now. The different hairstyle totally threw me off. xD

Glad I decided to watch this. Last season I was so disheartened by the SHIT I watched (IS:Infinite Shit, Freezing, & Dragon Crisis...) This is good stuff.. w/o harem/ecchi/overused plot choices.

Win.
