Worst case scenario:
Minko likes Toru. Yuina likes Toru. Toru falls for Ohana. Ohana likes Kou. Kou likes Ohana back.

AND DRAMA ENSUES - boo freaking hoo.

Which is why NAKO is the best.

Nice episode, but I have a funny feeling that the love triangle that has formed is going to have a bad end. They usually do but here's hoping that I'm wrong.

why was she so scared of a bird and thought it belonged in a zoo? maybe cause her hair looks like a birds nest? she still hadn't replied to Kou, even a greeting? well that's not very nice. new girl is with Toru, too bad for Minko. Minko will just have to go off and SPARKLE with Ohana and Nako. SPARKLE!

Ohana grew up in Tokyo... She's afraid of wildlife, because she's never seen it before.
Sort of like how the Danish are afraid of nature because their country is all flat. ;D
Ohana is Danish. It all makes sense!

I love this show more and more with each episode. Ohana has got to be the cutest character ever. Minko needs to stop being such a bitch, >_< although i did feel rather sorry for her at the end.

watch the scene that starts at 3:50 of the first episode, then watch the bonbori scene again.
Ohana:-Lights flicker on, one by one, illuminating my path. I hope they also light the way to my future. And I hope that, at the end of the path, I'll have changed for the better.

i just thought that line was pretty crucial to understand the bonbori scene.

Is it me or does the Grey heron give the vibe of an animal that knows exactly what is going on with everybody externally and internally? The Grey Heron is the hero of the story. Also, I think the last scene where the Grey heron goes after Ohana was like in saying "Don't follow Minko, let her be alone for a while" and blocking her pathway

Just because she looks like Kurumi doesn't mean she will act like Kurumi...or does it? Is she only after Toru because of his abilities as a cook? Is Yuina's mother the real villain? And just what is Minko's back story? Can't wait for next week to find out.

Is it just because I'm in Greece this week that most of the online subs were blocked out, or did this happen in North America as well?

Judging by how popular tsundere characters are in anime, the answer is yes!

To me it looks like Tohru's kind of oblivious to Minko's feelings, which is sad. I'm actually not a big fan of the pairing, but it would be horrible for Minko having her heart crushed, especially considering how much she's into the guy. I wonder what Ohana would do to assist Minko from now on...

On a side note, as some of you have mentioned I feel rather bad for Kou not having his message answered. =(

It's obvious that the grey heron is was introduced to take over Ohana's place as main character.

5/5 episodes, when it ended I was like what? It's already over? No way!

Poor Die-chan's chances are looking slim, I wonder how it will all turn out. For some reason, I like the girl almost as much as Ohana. Speaking of her... she is really taking long to reply to a message ( it's totally not like I'm waiting for a message for 3 days now too). The class reaction was hilarious, it really caught me off guard. Really want the next episode...

Edit: And how could I have forgotten the special guest star grey heron! Truly entertaining scenes.

My friend thought a heron was some sort of stork, which apparently is a common mistake, and it reminded me of this:


Now we know! The heron is Ohana's real father! He was just trying to reunite with her.

Great episode! Funny stuff, but also some drama. Ohana introducing herself was funny: "I'm from Toky-- WAAAAAH!" xD

Hopefully it won't turn out to be some cheap love triangle indeed though.
Oh yes, and Grey Heron sees all. Ohana being afraid of it was great to see! xD

Why does it feel like this show has gone from "Good Drama" in the first two episodes to "Crazy and slightly stupid Slice-of-Life" in the last two? Am I the only one that feels that way? I practically facepalmed when all the girls ran up to Ohana to ask her about Tokyo. And of course she's dense enough to not figure out who Minko likes. And then Minko overreacts, right on cue.

Well say if you came from SF or NY and than you moved to a small town. Wouldn't some people be excited and ask someone from a big city a lot of questions. Idk, I live in SF.

It is also called being Oblivious. Like me!

You're not a majority at least.
Most of us felt like that after the 3rd episode, but the 4th more than made up for it.

Why is everyone obssessed with the bird? I don't get it.

I'm more interested in how Yuina develops. I also get the vibe that she isn't as simple as she first appears, and perhaps is the "antagonist" of the show, so to speak. However, if we look at the OP, we see that Yuina and Nako are waiting on the train for Ohana, both smiling. So wouldn't that mean that they really are friends?

hmm...

"I'm probably using up my lifetime's worth of good luck."

Funny ass minor characters.

I thought Minko was describing Ohana for a second...but realized it couldn't be it. Low and behold, she was actually describing Tohru.

But Yuina took him. Damnit.

I live in a small town. If someone from SF or NY moved in, I would not even bat an eyelid. I might ask them about it casually if they happened to sit next to me or something, but that's the most of it. And that's probably how most people would react.

Ah, right, I found that part pretty fucking pathetic, too. Specifically when he said something like, "the most popular girls in school are in our class."

I absolutely adore Ohana. She made me watch this show. I feel that she is the only character that I like, but the recent developments with Nako have made me like her a lot more too. Minchi is just........no. I feel that they made her a little bit more likable after Ohana's confrontation, but she's just TOO tsun tsun. She's such an over-the-top tsundere that it makes me want to tear her head off. Hopefully they can make Ohana get through to her in these next couple of episodes.

Oh, and Yuina smiles too much from her face and not enough from her eyes to not be evil. Just sayin.

Ok, this episode was damn good so I'll just pretend episode 3 wasn't there and keep enjoying this show.

I expect some development on the rivalry between the Fukuya and Kissui inns. Yuina's grandma seems a lot like Ohana's.

They might of said it already, but how old is Tooru exactly. At first I really thought he would fall for Ohana, but I guess that went out the window. I know its a simple way of thinking, but I thought it'd be interesting. I do feel bad for Minko-san though, she seems to really like him. Hopefully its not what they think, but who knows, he did mention her though, so there might be something there.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

He's working there as a chef. And becoming a professional chef doesn't happen over night.
So I'd say he's in his early 20's.
Either way it's sort of awkward to think of him with a 16 year old girl.

EDIT: Checked the official website, he's 23.

Really pissed that some people didn't put spoilers about Yuina. Anyways, i am fine with triangles anyways. Awesome episode though, i am the few that like the school atmosphere.

Was empathizing with Ohana when she was trying to send the text- i do that all the time for worthless texts.

This is the thread for discussing the 4th episode after we've seen it. Why would we need spoilers?

Another wonderful episode~♥

I wholeheartedly ship Minko x Tooru. In fact, I was kinda expecting it to hint something with both since I knew them.

… It’s a totally breaker Yuina had to appear there with him. It surely isn’t what it seemed, though. I wonder what it was, then. Talking about Yuina, I’m surprised it is Tomatsu Haruka who is voicing her. Doesn’t sound at all like her other roles.

… Am I the only one who thinks Yuina’s grandma looks younger than Ohana’s even thought their inn has been around for longer time…? I find it odd.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.
