| What's that? Ohana is JEALOUS!? |
"Perhaps the distant part of the sky always seems clearest, so that we will always strive to reach it."  chiquit |
 cutest scene ever ! |
| I didn't really like this episode...there was to much Koichi in it and Ohana's mother is really mean I don't think that Ohana was jealous of the girl, I think she's just afraid to loose her best friend in the end she probably stays just friends with Koichi probably it was Tohru's idea to search for Ohana :D I hope that those two will end up together |
| Well..............I... dissappointed. Maybe I'm the only one here. I just so dissappointed about Ohana and Ko relationship! I thought Ohana will finally tell Ko that she cares too about him but she just really slow to realize! And for Tohru! I HOPE! REALLY REALLY HOPE HE pay more attention to Minko!! I mean, she really in love with him! But, beside that, I really enjoy this anime! |

| Ohana's mother is one hell of a terrible parent. But in a way, it's not really her fault. She can't just go changing her job so easily. I can't believe Ohana just left Ko hanging like that...AGAIN. |
 |
| I cried SO hard during this episode. I'm such an emotional person. But I can totally relate to her. A day when things just go COMPLETELY wrong. Her mom is SO mean. Poor Ko-chan and Ohana.. What if they just stop liking each other and each goes off with the other people? I couldn't bear to see Ohana and Tohru. It's cute but I just don't like it. It doesn't feel right. (I'm crying as I'm writing this -_-" lol) |
| My eyes are all teary-teary. No idea why. Geez. Doesn't usually happen to me. |

aemin said:  cutest scene ever ! 100% agree! Ohana tries to find the person who wrote the review, only to find it was her own mother. It was a bit suspense when Ohana was followed by those two guys. Luckily Minko and Tohru were there to save her. I really like this episode as it was full of emotions specifically teenagers' emotions as they faced the hardship of life and many other things. My personal favorite episode so far~ Kou saying "see ya" in the preview, so no more Ohana x Kou? |
 |
| amazing episode! she really gave it her all but came short in the end. don't blame her for breaking down at then end, go on girl shed those tears :D. she shouldn't have ran from ko though she should have been more straight forward. but she will come through in the end i hope. again great emotional episode! |

| I admire Ohana's Persistence and Character. Can't believe if was her own mother that betrayed the Region's and the Inn of Ohana's Grandmother. |
| What a good episode! Can't wait for the next one! |

| AMAZING EPISODE! Emotional, surprising and, to put it simply, PERFECT! Without a doubt my favorite episode of Hanasaku Iroha so far; it'll take a true masterpiece of an episode to beat this, so I guess the remaining 15 episodes have something to live up to :3 I don't get why Ko didn't say anything to Ohana though. Uncertainty maybe? On a side note, I'd like to point out the hotness of Ohana's mom. Normally I don't like the term 'MILF', but in this case I think it applies to Satsuki very well! My mind already has its own list of crack pairings going (newest addition: Satsuki x Tomoe) X3 I hope Satsuki being the one to write the review means that we'll see some more of her. Her paying a visit to Kissuiso would be priceless! |

| Damn nice episode, lots of different emotions and parts, wouldn't have expect that her mother wrote those articles, and for her to see someone else liking Ko must also feel bad, but was quite funny when she said the thing she didn't do her self xD Good episode, lets see whate's in the next episode! |
 |
| Great episode. Though I'm annoyed at Ohana for running away and not addressing the situation with Ko. There needs to be some resolution before this ends since there's been so much time spent on it. |
 |
| 5/5 Great episode, full of beautiful, bad feelings, such as anger and love! Wonderful drawings as backdrops really good. The PA Works is great! I love this anime! I want more and more! |
 |
| Stirred much of my emotions.. Ko...and Ohana, they seem to act so awkward now. Guess feelings really change over time. |
| bonboru ohana! XD |
| This was a really great episode an awesome mix of drama and comedy. It honestly blew me away how good the second half was though I was thinking what are you doing why run away again! T_T I hope we get some resolution soon. |
 |
| I bet the mother and the Okami-san had a big falling out that makes it hard for her to stay at the Inn. |

| Poor Ohana :( |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| Great episode! Best one so far! |
 |
| Ohana needs to learn to be a warrior. If she fails, get back up and be "Even Stronger". So the inn got a bad review on purpose. Ohana needs to learn to become better, show the manager she isn't a pretty face but a girl who works hard and will give the customers the satisfaction they deserve. She does work hard, but she's just being a cry baby in my book. Kou-kun's shirt being pulled by the other girl. I want more info on her. Also isn't dating prohibited during work or any sort of intimate relationship with an employee, in regards to Ko and the girl? |
 |
| " it never rains but it pours" It was sad to see so many things come at Ohana in just one day; but, she probably did it because she felt it was the right thing to do. And so , like before, if she did because she thought it was right, then everything will work out. A great episode!! |
| "You and your third dimension" |
| oof, having your mom betray you and realizing that the person you like is getting further away must be tough. I felt so bad for ohana in this ep |
 |
| dammit, don't die kouXohana ;-; |
 |
| Goodness, this episode almost had me in tears! |
| Teared up a little at the end there ;-; |
| Holy crap this was a good episode. I teared up when It was Minko and Touru running after Ohana. They actually went after her 😭 Whenever she yelled at Ko for not giving the girl an answer, but then suddenly stopped because she's doing the same thing. I really dislike her mom. She's such a horrible mom. I'm so glad that Ohaha turned out the way she did. "I've never been moved in so many ways in one day before." So many emotions in this episode.

| Ohana's mom is quite loveable, isn't she... |
 |
| Ohana is such a breath of fresh air as an MC. She is very relatable and it makes the audience connect with her. A normally headstrong girl has now become uneasy as previous things which were guaranteed begin to fall apart. Thoroughly enjoying this anime. Mari Okada gets a lot of hate but I personally like most of the shows she works on. I'm excited to continue this. |

 "What the heck was this episode, huh?" What a waste. This episode had the potential to finally deliver on Ohana's mother issues... ...but it barely does anything with it. Instead we get more Ko-chan nonsense. He has, like, no screen time for ten episodes, and yet I'm expected to care about what happens between him and Ohana. I mean, the only two things we know about him (after, again, ten episodes) are: 1, he's in love with Ohana, and 2, he's nice. Really intriguing stuff, isn't it. (And he even looks boring as hell; I mentioned this in another thread, but I don't feel like I can stress it enough.) I can at least appreciate the attempt at drama regarding Ohana's mother despite her lack of presence because she's the whole reason why Ohana ended up at the inn, but Kou-chan has had essentially no bearing on the main plot so far. Well, at least there were some funny moments in the episode, too. Some of them unintentional. nznz said: That she sees her daughter as equal is actually something I liked from the beginning. I think that's something not to uncommon for single mums. Yet that doesn't justify her behaviour. Would you treat a friend like that, a family member? Even as an equal you're not that cold. But it would be ok if we at least got some half-assed explanation why she turned out that way. I can only judge from what I saw till now. It's time that they show us what happend between Satsuki and her own mother. [...] You say you understand her because she has to earn a living for her child, yet she also has no problem to get rid of Ohana whenever she becomes a burden and doesn't even bother to contact her when back home. What kind of mother doesn't even call? Or leaves her daughter in the rain, alone in Tokyo at night? [...] Her behaviour doesn't add up. She's just a flat cardboard character so we can feel bad for Ohana going through all the hardship, obvious contrived melodrama so Minchi can pick her up all in tears. That's downright wasted potential in a show primarily about characters. Well put. I think with better direction and a better script the same events could have been more effective as drama. I mean, it's seriously not that hard to pluck on my heartstrings. I'm not made of stone. Although it does help when there's no BS romantic melodrama to distract me. But really, the fact that Ohana doesn't question these things is also pretty bad. For example, even having her narrate "why didn't she at least call" and then flashing an image of the manager would have been better than nothing. |

| Really messy episode. Glad they're trying to do something with the Mom. Not so glad they're still pushing the Kou drama front and center. The plot was just really dumb. And once again I question how Ohana can just drop everything and run to Tokyo. Without a plan or this time a place to stay. Her meltdown at the end was a little melodramatic too. I liked protester Ohana though. Might have made up for how this episode had potential but was kind of weak. |
 |
| Dang, the ending hit pretty hard. I was waiting for Ohana to break at some point, she works way too hard and tries to act mature, but she's still just a little kid in so many ways. The only thing her mom has done for in this regard is teach her to be self-reliant in the worst possible way: by doing nothing at all, and then acting like she's a great parent for providing food and a bed. I don't like mom one bit. And now with Kou having been confessed to by that other girl, I think it's time to get the hell outta Tokyo. Hopefully Ohana will stay in Kissuiso where she can grow up a bit. I think that environment is important for her, not just because of the people there, but because she's held responsible for her actions. This is good stuff! I'm interested to see how Ohana will mature in the latter half of the series. |
 |
| One of the better episodes so far. Ohana's impulsiveness is a bit of a problem, I'm surprised she gets away with what she does. Satsuki seems like a pretty plain character who exists solely for the sake of troubling our protagonist, yet I'd like to see more focus on her. If executed properly, there could be some interesting conflict with Ohana as she was the cause of many of her problems, which in turn could open up a lot of ways for Ohana to overcome her own struggles. Satsuki's intentions seem pretty unreasonable at this point though, so I hope her relationship with the grandmother is explained, and why she is so adamant about not visiting the inn. Ohana and Kou's talk in the cafe was executed decently. Ohana realised how hypocritical she was being as if she wasn't putting enough stress on to herself already, however on the other hand Kou barely talks and we have no idea what he's thinking, which further reinforces my view that he's just a bland character. |
 |
| So Ohana's mother was the one who wrote the review, and she put a bad score to the inn without having gone there due to the orders from her superiors, this is so unfair and Ohana couldn't handle that and went to Tokyo to protest, sadly without much success in convincing her to go to the inn and show her how wrong she is. Ohana also met with Kouichi there, looks like there is a girl who confessed to him, but he half rejected her, I loved how Ohana was going to answer with a 'be clear with that!' but then she realized she did the exact same thing to him before, this was a very dramatic episode considering all the emotional struggles she's going through at the same time. |
 |
| Too much to deal with for Ohana, but as much as I like her, she could make her life a lot easier, lol. Pretty good episode. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| -Kou has been waiting for a response for nearly a whole year... that guy sure loves Ohana. -Oh, I thought Ohana's mother was a writer, not a critic/journalist... I found it curious that there wasn't any mention about the "undercover reporter" from episode 9, you know, the girl who was typing on her computer at the end of said episode. I don't know, it just felt odd that Satsuki was the one who write the review in the end but well... All in all, it was an interesting episode. I would say there was too much crying for my taste but since Ohana was dealing with so many different emotions inside of her, I can only empathize with her. Her outburst at the end was something she really needed for sure. That said, let's see what will happen in the next episode. I swear the preview truly wants to play with my expectations... |

| WOOW how could her mom do that to her, writing that review and doing all those other things when Ohana was younger. Always putting herself and her work before Ohana. Couldn't even cook for her in preschool. Made her move to a whole different environment with her grandma, whom she had never met before, to do a dumb-ass, short-lived "night flight." Then always expecting Ohana to forgive her. What a heartless person. What kind of mom does that?? 😡 Explain yourself, woman! And psh are you just gonna give up on her like this, Kou?! Moving on to a different girl already when she finally knows how you feel? Guess you're not THAT serious about her... sigh... idk... Ugh the way that girl hung on to Kou's shirt tho 🙄 Man, poor Ohana. 10/10 triggering but great episode |

| I didn't like this plot convenience, Ohana's mum being the one who wrote the review, of all the people in Japan. It felt like a cheap attempt to add more drama. Other than that, the direction in this episode was superb, a lot of nice little details, camera angles etc. And at the end when Ohana was running from the car and emotionally loaded stills from the episode flashed on the screen interspersed with increasingly rapid body shots, that was a really nice touch. |
