| That old woman was evil. Closing the door at the face of a kid. Poor Renge, she had a great time with someone of her age, the feelings that she had were greatly transmitted. |
| Ugh my heart exploded, Preparing to put Ren-chon in my faves! |
| That very long shot of Ren-chon's painful face just killed me inside... Fuck you, director! (j/k you're awesome, perfect episode) |
 |
| What a cute episode. Renge finally got her spotlight! Haha. |
| This is so cute. "It's salty ..." "Like life?" ..... deerrrrpp It was so innocent, sad and cute. I had little tears come out |

| Hilarious beginning to the episode. I didn't expect Renge to lose her friend so suddenly like that near the end. Why did they have to put the sad part in a Renge episode? Glad it was worked out later, though. |
| Aww... Ren-chon made a new friend! It was sad when she left, but at least she sent a letter to Ren-chon. That photo was the cutest selfie ever! :3 |
 |
| Damn now I want to try adding salt to my watermelons. Poor Natsumi with her grades lol ^^ Honoka and Ren-chon so cute together hnnnnnnggg Renge crying...my heart ;-;, Glad she received that letter from Honoka and cheered up. Such a heartwarming episode =w= |
 |
| T_T |
 |
| Oh god it's just so... so k-k-k-KAWAIIIIIII!! Saw the sad section coming, although my morbid imagination briefly summoned the idea of a tragic accident. Now THAT would have been depressing. But, no! Honoka will return! Hopefully in the anime, too. |
| Shit, that was so sweet. Renge-chan was so sad :( |
| Re watching for preparation for Season 2. Still ball my eyes out when Ren-chon lost her new friend. That always gets me |
kuuurt said: >that little squeak before Ren-chon cries I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS ;_; lol me neither i came for the lols, not for the feels! excuse me while i resuscitate my heart |
  |
| Awww that was such a cute episode. Lots of Ren-chon is great. The episode went so quickly it only felt like 10 minutes. Hope to see more Ren-chon in the next epiodes. |
| renge-chan is so cute her friendship with honoka is adorable & her reaction about the letter omg i love this anime and it's summer vibe |
| awh man...feels. Renge chan seems so lonely and bored. Itw as funny and adorable, yet somehow, a bit sad seeing Renge walking around and singing to herself. seeing Renge-chan's moment of shock and her tears seriously made my heart ache... but the ending was so heartwarming. Renge-chan can show Honoka the place with the waterfall next year. The art of the various scenery was breathtaking. I always get chills. I have fallen in love with the tranquility and nostalgia Non Non Biyori brings me. Amazing episode. |

| Ren-chon and her friends are awesome another great episode :) |
 |
| I didn't sign up for this ;~; |
 |
| Episode with a story with two faces, this really interesting combination. Nice and funny, touching and sad, that whirlwind of different feelings, really nice. Drawings and animations beautiful, well-made sets, apt soundtrack to different contexts proposed. Too cute and catchy the opening and the ending. |
 |
| Poor Hikage, everyone ignores her. Silver4000 said: That old woman was evil. Closing the door at the face of a kid. Haha, yeah. She was like 'go away, I'm busy' :P |
 |
| That was good. This show has something so heartwarming in it. I just can't describe it. Sure, the characters are cute and all, but every other moe is like that. But this... This has "something". Some charm. Like I said, I can't describe it. So Ren-chon made a new friend. That's nice, but I wish she'd show more emotions. It's like she always has the same face whatever she feels. Well, except when she cries, obviously. Silver4000 said: That old woman was evil. Closing the door at the face of a kid. So what was she supposed to do? She politely explained the situation to Ren-chon and even said thanks to her. It's not like she just said "Honoka's not here, go away" and slammed the door. |
 I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
| The montage was all kinds of adorable, and that ending was really heartwarming. But Hikage sounds a little too old for a high schooler. |
 |
| I do like the backgrounds in this anime, they are drawn beautifully. and that was a bit to much 'aww'  |
 |
| I didn't get why this scene was so goddamn long but after reading some posts on here I found out that it seems I am the only one who didn't.. for me it was ridiculous and the whole ep was boring as hell. i guess i just can't relate or whatever  And why before she cried she was always emotionless? creepy.. |

| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| such a great episode... really hit me hard since i cant go to play with a friend recently because of college in other town |
| Summer friends, it was quite sad indeed. The long scene where Renge was all frozen and then she slowly begins to tear up. Poor girl, she really liked hanging out with her. I found the scene where she steps on her sister to be quite hilarious. Renge is pure life. And the part with Honoka as well. I enjoyed seeing Renge hang out with someone her age.l |
 |
lmfao accurate `` |
Goddamnit, that sad music over Renge's crying face... ;_; |
| poor renchon, honoka's got home already bcoz of her father's work .. quite nice scenery hey have and the atmosphere of this episode is so much relaxing .. |
 |
Nani said: The close up of Renge's face + music... hit me straight in the feels. Damn. Too real, is was something so simple, nothing complex, but the execution was just on point, thank god she can see her friend again next year! Overall I bet most lolicons gone mad with this episode overall, since the already cute Renge, got even more adorable and heartwarming moments, I still prefer komi-chan but Regen-chan just killed it with this one. |
 |
| OMG the feels when Renge-chan started getting watery-eyed!!! |
 |
on 
| Lmao when the grades were explained. So sad seeing Renge realize she couldn't play with Honoka anymore ... so happy when she heard she had fun and would be coming back :) |
 |
| Wtf this show wasn't supposed to cause tears lol. Ren's friend leaving so suddenly was relatable since the same thing happened to me as a kid and I cried the whole day ;-; I'm glad Honoka wrote her a letter though, I knew it couldn't all end so sadly. Enjoyed this episode a lot! Back to the relaxed, country-side Episode 1/2 atmosphere, which I think is when this show shines the most. |
 |
| this anime is chicken soup for the soul this episode brings back so many memories of childhood, summer vacation and all |
| That plot twist in the grading system, though. I feel bad for Natsumi. Hahahahaha! Goddamnit. Oh, how I missed Ren-chon. <3 Don't worry, Hikage. Bullet train >>>>> Airplane because of safety. Hahahaha. Ren found a very good friend named Honoka then she unexpectedly left, then Ren started crying, I just lost it. I thought she's all emotionless, but nooo she fucking cried, and I'm not okay. I want to give her a hug so baaad. Omfg. My poor baby. ;-; At least she's happy again when a week later, she received a letter from Honoka with a photo of them two together. Gaaah. So freaking kawaii. <3 So far, this anime didn't disappoint me not one bit. Ugh. So in love with this anime so much. :3 |

| I didn't expect to cry from this series... Wow. The Ren and Honoka segment was so great. It perfectly captured the wonder, kindness, and adventure of childhood friendship as well as the immense sadness that comes with it. When you're friendships are dependent on circumstance and specifically your parents these things are frail. It was so beautiful seeing the two meet and naturally gravitate to each other, Honoka must be one of the few kids as young as Ren is that she's gotten to see. In mere moments they were best friends. And while in the moment I did think the Ren face shot went on too long, it was pretty good in that it totally gave off the feeling of Ren not understanding what had happened. How could her new best friend be gone, like that? She was sucked away from her boredom sitting by the fan into a life of waking up early excited to see her and just like she came she was gone. When all that finally hit her and she started to cry and make the small but emotional noises she did I cried with her. It conveyed it all so well. And after a week of boredom by that fan again she finally got that letter and the amazement all came back. Just absolutely awesome. |
| Don't cry Ren-tan ;_; |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Dang for the damaged coda is strong in this one! |
| Best summer holiday episode ever, Hotaru and the plane xD Renge and Honoka part was SO CUTE, a little sad for Renge when she started crying :( |
 |
| Don't get too discouraged, Natsumi.. You just can continue do, what your family does.. Are their farmers as well as Renge's family, no?.. If no, then it might be a problem.. But if yes, it's no problem.. Renge found girl her age, and hangs out nicely with her~ ;P She's also excited and getting up early.. ;p But yeah.. That girl was going to rest only for a time there.. Still poor Renge.. I'm glad she's happy with new friend visiting her after a year.. Maybe they'll even be able to write each other more, who knows.. In the end.. It seems that she found new friend, and it seems they'll continue to hang out in one way or another.. So it's better than if she'd never met her, I guess.. New friend, and the future.. ;P |
| Rewatching this episode thinking I am ready for what's coming, but that long pause before Renge break to tears, I can't...I just can't....it completely destroyed me, again. That scene is really well done, no words, no nothing, only that little squeak and that's enough to make a grown adult break to tears. |

| Currently re-watching the series. Was wondering if I could handle Ren-chon's weep after that long shot again... . . . ... I couldn't. Was doing a pretty decent job until that little squeak ;_; |
| I was getting ready to comment “this episode was good, but so far not as fun as the first 3” and then suddenly out of nowhere this episode hits me in the feels like a freight train, hot damn boi what the heck even is this show I can already feel the post anime depression coming once it’s all over |

| So Renge has 2 older sisters, |
 |
| One of the best anime episodes I've ever seen! The second half of the episode is a true Masterpiece. Renge with her new colleague, and shows everything so naturally ... They become friends, having fun with the greatest "simplicity" of the field. I'm reviewing Non Non Biyori, and the experience has been incredible. This particular episode causes so many emotions that it is difficult to write. I was happy, sad about the sudden "farewell", because Renge just wanted to have fun again with her new colleague. Seeing Renge, it's really sad. It is impossible not to be sad too. And the end of the episode with Renge receiving Honoka's letter? Sweat even fell from my eyes! It is extremely exciting everything that happened in almost all the friendship between Renge and Honoka in that short period of time. I didn't really remember that this episode is so good. 10/10 |

kuuderes_shadow said: Is the Miyauchi family really smart? To go all the way to Tokyo for school must be quite something, and Ren-chon's grades are good (not to mention that she seems to make a lot of slightly precocious comments). And surely their sister can't be that stupid if she became a teacher, right? Right? Also, Hikage's appearance reduces the age gap in the family to a somewhat less extreme extent. And it also means that we don't know who Renge was talking about with that car speech in the first episode. Although in fact from personality it seems much more like something Hikage would say than Kazuho. I wonder where their parents are... I totally agree with Miyauchi girls being really smart and also with Renge being pretty precocious! I often have the sensation that she's very sharp understanding deeper meanings. And behind her cute and funny behavior she's so serious! Oh! And I was wondering as well, about the girls parents...perhaps is too soon to wonder though 😋. I will probably find out later...or not...😄 |
