"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."
Nice episode. I really like Inami, she is pretty weird and sometimes annoying, but at least she is trying to improve. His older sisters, on the other hand, are downright annoying. They should sort their lives out, before picking on him. And Souma: I hope this manipulative bastard gets beaten to death by Inami. I really hate him.

As further proof of this anime is fun and interesting, despite having a setting slice of life history and narrative, the narrative passages are effective and make it a pleasure to review and never get bored. The gags are nice and the characters more and more charismatic. The fun part of the story where Souta interacts with her sisters.
Damn. I was gonna power through one more ep bc I liked Satou and Souma, but I didn't even make it through this ep bc they ruined Souma's character for me. I thought he was just going to be a refreshing happy go lucky cute guy, but he's actually blackmailing and manipulative.
Sota's "big sister" is a mess, rubbing drunkenly all up on her little brother.
Oh, wow. Sota when he was little looked right out of a loli doujin...not that I would know anything about those.
"Sato-kun, don't you think this salad is one bite short?" Is this an actual conversation that happens in the service industry? Then again, from some of the horror stories I've read on blogs about working as a waiter/waitress, people will seriously bitch about their salad being one bite short.
Soma may seem nice, but he's a genius at straight-up manipulation to get out of anything he doesn't want to do.
Sato listening to Yachiyo talk about Kyoko eating her parfait is basically like having the girl you like talk enthusiastically about the great sex she has with her lover who's not you.
"Rather, smaller than the glasses." Come on, now...Popura isn't that small. Though that might be Sota's dream girl...
"The best cure for hangovers is sake!" Debatable.
Nazuna's definitely about to cross the line in terms of girls Sota thinks are worth interacting with. Next year, she'll be past the "over 12" line, and she definitely doesn't look like a loli.
It'd be amazing if one of these days Inami was able to have a conversation with Sota without hitting him or another male in sight.
"No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!"
Not understanding the love for Souma. The creepy blackmailing made me immediately dislike him. The abusive female characters are getting kind of old. I'm feeling more sorry for Souta with every new episode.
I was going into this expecting a fun situational workplace comedy but this is just a slideshow of shitty character gimmicks ('situations' of any kind in the restaurant simply do not arise). I can't recall one conversation that did not revolve around another character's gimmick. And it's only the fourth episode but it seems like they've already reached their limit. It's almost offensive how unfunny this is. This shit sucks.
