boring
cliche
etc

I think it's really hard for a Slice of Life anime to fit an episode so filler-esque into it and make it feel like a filler episode the whole time. Props to I.G. for making an incredibly boring episode in a boring series.

I feel this anime is the mutant baby of Amagami and Natsume Yuujinchou minus the enjoyment of either (especially the latter).


This isn't animated by I.G., it's a P.A.Works anime.

And it wasn't that bad, apparently you're the only person I've seen who has complained about the above things.

Hating on a popular anime doesn't make you cool, FYI.

This show is only getting better and better, cant wait for next week. I wonder what minko will react when she finds out about this situation :P


I have a feeling she has an inkling already >: I was hoping Ko would turn up this episode but I guess that's too soon xD I bet they'll bring him in at the worst possible time..


My feelings exactly. Ko is going to walk in at the worst possible moment, maybe Ohana will be dusting, fall of the stepladder, get caught by Tooru, thus leaving the two of them in a position that suggests that they were kissing.
Then in comes Ko who promptly drops his luggage and stares in shock and then enters various other members of the cast who all get an eyeful of the suspicious situation... This is all from the top of my head, but with this series I wouldn't put it past them.

My thoughts are exactly the same.
biggest surprise will be reveling of tooru love .

What's wrong with you guys.

Obviously Ohana x Nako x Min-chi

Actually replace Minko with Yuina and you have an unbeatable combination.

You know a show is doing work when it switches to a new ED by the 6th episode/uses a new song for the 6th episode's ED.
Great episode, some much needed background info about Ohana's grandmother :P

...Ko, hurry up and get there before you lose your lady D:

I've been pro Ko x Ohana since... Well, the first scene where they were just sitting there discussing how she could get the piece of corn. Tooru just needs to back off and go to Minko, she's the one that is all devoted to him. Ohana just needs Ko~~

Does Ohana really think that the problem can be solved by showing more female skin without comprimising herself and the staff? I just find that her "logic" gets harder and harder to understand with every new episode. She's the weak link in this episode...


Exactly! I found myself wondering, "Is she really that much of a dumbass?!".

Well at least she redeemed herself by taking her grand-mother's dresses afterwards. I think Ohana fits into the people learn by mistakes kind TBH.

I really hope they won't make a triangle here...Also, why did they change the ED? I already have to skip the OP because it feels like someone stabbing me in the ears and now the ED too? I liked the one used in eps 2-5.

Apart from these two a decent HI episode, kept me entertained. 4/5.

I have to say, it was a boring episode. Now does that make me any cool? Dunno, but it was boring to me.

I am yet to enjoy the anime as much as I did in the first couple of episodes. Oh well, taste varies. Might just continue for the sake of it. I predict nothing significant will happen until the final couple of episodes. :/

Nako-chan is so Moe, I loved the way she says "chigau!" to Ohana when she aked her about wearing different clothes X3

Now about the episode in general, I think this story is gonna get allot more interesting now that Toru may have a crush on Ohana, but IMO I think hes a douche..

Yay!!! Tooru and Ohana. I don't dislike Ko, but if he doesn't show up sooner he might lose Ohana and honestly I would not mind that much. I ship for both, but I'm seriously going more and more to Tooru's side. I would feel bad for Minko, but I just can't see her in a relationship with Tooru or anyone for that matter. I don't know if Tooru x Ohana will happen, but if it does, it'd be awesome.

Also I know someone said that Tooru likes Ohana, b/c he thinks that she was the only one who went after him when they thought he was leaving, but everything starts from somewhere, so why does it matter. Although I think he noticed her even before that so w/e.

Looking forward to the next episode.

Yeah it seems he doesn't smile often like that. Despite the feelings he seems to have for her, Ohana's positive and little naive attitude, brings light to peoples hearts making them smile in general. People like that can annoy you a little at times because they aren't good with subtlety but you also got to love them for making you feel more positive and the fact that they are completely honest and straightforward. They are the last kind of people that will have evil cunning thoughts behind your back.

It was quite a sweet episode. One of the best until now definitely. The colorful kimonos thing was kind of ruined though because of the aprons they wear in-frond of them.

I have a feeling someone won't be allowed to visit the inn again.Lol.
Personally i approve the idea of raising the slit of the China dress. It will definitely had made me visit again lol.

Yeah it really wasn't that. The first time i suspected something was when he asked her to go to town with him to help him. She asked him why or something if i remember correctly and he really didn't have much of a reason. It seemed that he just wanted to be with her and as it goes now it's proven to be the case.

Ohana makes this anime great. Seriously, that girl is awesome and refreshing in several aspects.

This episode showed it again. If it helps to get more customers, she is open enough to use a women's sex appeal for that. She is surprisingly mature about stuff like that, which was also shown in episode 3. That goes hand in hand with Yuina, and I'm really looking forward to the center about Yuina and Ohana, to see them interact more. They'd make a good combo.

Romance is also again what it should be: not really important. For a male-targeted show, episode 5 had a bit too much of that, so this was a good breather. Ohana being such a good lead comes out much more in episodes like this one I'd say.

16 year olds should be happy they're getting payed at all. Minimum wage only comes into the equation after you're a legal adult.
Why do you think summer jobs are given to high-schoolers rather than adults? Because you can pay them slave wages.
No grown person is going to accept $2000 for three months of work.

TBH a lot of jobs have regulation problems in general over in Asia just look at Nike and China case. My point is that lots of people want to maximize profit and their means can be teens as a end to it then they shall use that to their advantage.

Actually depending on the circumstances, they will. If what you have is nothing, even that money is better than staying with nothing. Still employers prefer the usual route of a teenager though.
The problem is governments(this goes for all countries) don't give a shit about all this employers breaking the laws of minimal wage. They don't care because politicians ain't the ones suffering and because is too hard work to catch them. Also they are afraid that by doing so they will make them take their business away and the only way that such a hunt will bring resold with no affect to some business going away is if all the countries were as faithful to the minimum wage limit, something that it's impossible.

Anyway in this case it isn't really bad though, since lets not forget the cost of her shelter, food, even clothes is being redacted from her wage. So in reality she gets a lot more than that. Besides she's the granddaughter of the owner so other excuses can be made.

Lol @ the dresses. I like the kimonos though (although they were covered up with aprons). Beanman is so awesome! :P Plus it looks like Tohru likes Ohana as well ... ;O
Hmm, so I'm a bit confused, do they work before they go to school? They'd have to get up REALLY early then ... plus I guess it WOULD be OK if customers arrived at like, 7AM? Does Nako not live at the inn? I mean she was taking her bike and everything ... maybe she lives away for weekend? :P

Hahaa the facial expression of tohru while he ate his meal at the end of the episode was hilarious! maybe he was thinking of how ohana looked in those new uniforms (kimono)??? And then the head chef dropped his food when he saw tohru's face! Cant help but laugh!! Hahaa!
