Ko was on the clock? Take a vacation day damn it!! :C
It was sad that he went back home. And you just know that girl at his work has a crush on him. Maybe when she tries to steal him away Ohana will take action.

The preview for next week almost gave me a heart attack. No Ohana x Tooru, NO!! Stop shipping them! They're completely wrong for eachother in every way imaginable.
Bitchy Tooru should be with bitchy Minko.

Ohana, do what Ko said in the preview, come back home.

Lovely episode! Good to see Ohana found Tooru and everything went ok. Poor Kouichi wasn't able to meet Ohana in the end though. Hopefully he'll try again another time.

Now that the landlady is back and recovered, Ohana gets sick next episode! =O

Even though I go KYAAA~ when I see the interaction between Tohru and Ohana, somehow it just feels wrong for them to be together, mainly because of Minko. Besides Ohana doesn't seem to feel that way towards Tohru.. for now.
So I guess I'm a Ohana x Ko and Tohru x Minko shipper. I'm also fine if their relationships remain platonic at the end of this series.

Anyhow, go Kou-kun! I'm counting on you since I support MinchixTooru. Enjoyable episode overall, glad to see the group managed even without the Landlady. I don't know who thought that the insert song was needed, that voice is just driving me mad! Someone please shoot her before I pop my eardrums. 4/5.

No offense to Kou fans but I honestly hope he gets written off very soon, what a waste of time watching him be an idiot and run around aimlessly, I can't help but feel satisfied when he was shot down for a reservation at the Inn.

Then again, he's here to stay for an unfortunately long time but I hope the Good End out of all of this has nothing to do with him. Hopefully.
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder?

Very nice catch, I am curious as to what other scenes will be borrowed from 5cm. It was rather a high rank series.

Kou is retarded, if he really cared about Ohana I'd wait around and then be like surprise! but nah he wastes time going out to the countryside just to go back to the city :/. But I like how this episode concentrated, on the place was a complete mess without everyone and then thanks to Ohana bringing back Nako and Tohru, the place got back in order. And then in the end, they enjoyed a long days work with some fried tempura mmmm. Great episode

What had me saying wtf though in this ep was when Ohana was like "Oh this is how Tohru's hair smells? I wonder if Kou's hair smells the same?" I was like y would u want to smell it anyways? lol

Man, something about this show just makes me roll my eyes. Maybe it's the fact that everything turns out picture perfect or the fact that Ohana's personality is way too damn genki to be connect to at all. The only character that's even remotely interesting is Mami Noto's character. Anohana is just blowing this out of the water.

I really like the atmosphere that the anime has developed. They really came a far way from the original awkwardness of adjusting to hotel life.

Man, Minko is really tsundere done correctly. It's cute how's she's tsun to everyone but dere to Tooru. Feels more true and natural that way. Favorite character of the series and I usually dislike tsunderes.

A nice conclusion to the series' first arc. It had its flaws but overall I really enjoyed this episode.

First, the things I didn't like, namely that Ko and Ohana didn't get to meet. On the one hand, I could sort've see Ko's reason for leaving: the inn is incredibly busy so even if he went there to visit her they wouldn't have much of a chance to talk. That and I think this seperation is supposed to symbolize Ohana and Ko gradually growing apart. Do I still want to see a reunion scene between the two? Hell yes. Was I annoyed that it didn't happen in this episode? Hell yes.

That's really my only complaint with the episode as the rest of it was carried out quite nicely. I liked Ohana's search for Tohru, especially the part where her sandal breaks and she goes flying through that bush. It was nice that Minchi recieved some more character growth, being able to cook that tempura for the guests must have been a great reward for her hard work. And I'm happy that the Madam Manager is finally shaping up to be a good character.

Maybe Kou wanted to surprise Ohana. If he registered room beforehand, she might happen to read the guest list.

I have sympathy for him after all. Try your best, Kou !

I am starting to wish females didn't watch this show because it's annoying reading all this "i support girl x guy" staff. The show certainly isn't focus on who is going out with who and relationship drama but reading the comments seems like a fucking gossip magazine about relationships.
Go watch some teen American show where everyone breaks-ups and makes-ups with everyone if that is all you have in mind.

Anyway we got the revelation on who the reporter was in the end. She even came with her mother. She seemed like a good person btw. So that poor guy got that horrible male dance for nothing. I bet he was having nightmares. And was that a penis he had drown on his belly lol.

In the end Ohana was the one that took charge in the place of her grandmother. I wonder if that will change their relationship a little and make her grandmother trust her more.

Btw what happened to Nako's bike? Didn't Ohana took it to go find Tooru? They just left it there huh. Poor Nako now she has to go and pick it up.
I'm also shocked by the shoes Ohana was wearing and traveling with the bike in such speed as we saw in the last episode.

The cook seemed to have gained his confidence after Tooru arrived. It seems he feels better when not everything is on his shoulders and he has some staff to boss around.

Kou screw-up there. If he wanted to stay in the place Ohana was working he really shouldn't have waited the last minute to call for a room. Still i don't get why he didn't try to find a room near by and just visit her. Did he only had that day free?
I wonder what that smile from that girl who seemed to be his boss was.

Agree with you there Monad... there's been waaaay too much talking about the romances, what about the plot?!? Of course this episode especially was asking for it, and the next episode too, I think the series might be heading down the romance road. Not that I will dislike it then, I love romances, but this series gave a very different first impression. This episode didn't dissappoint me, I was hoping there would have been more Ren and Tomo, but alas they only have so much time. Also, I want to know more about Nako besides her desire for friendship, like what her family is like and if she has any other friends. If you remember, she has twice gotten a phone call from someone we do not yet know. It's been really leaving me curious.

Poor Ko. He didn't get to see Ohana but it was his fault. Why the hell did he go back after all that effort going there to see Ohana. And maybe he could have gone to another inn. Oh well i guess Ko is just cute and stupid that way :)

Coming all the way from the city then returned like nothing happened although he helped Ohana to keep her spirit.

And Tohru is getting closer to Ohana. Can't wait to see Minchi's reaction. :D

I was first like Ko will deserve Ohana, but then Tohru came and I'm supporting Ohana x Tohru~ Lol, but Tohru is betterlooking than Ko, and even he's harsh sometimes I think he's kind after all. I think Ko will go out with that mystery woman who is wearing classes (was her name Namiko Igarashi?) I don't like Minko x Tohru, sorry Minchi. OhanaxTohru ftw.

I hate it when characters don't see each other though. It's always so sad :( I don't really have any favorite couples in this series yet, but character wise I do prefer Tohru instead of Ko-chan.

And it seems there's a new girl set her eyes on Ko, so maybe this will end as Ohana x Tohru after all?

Ohana crossing Ko Chan frequently, but not actually meeting each other.

The Inn run well without the Manager/Owner.

It was nice to follow an episode of this again.
