Kamuri is still adorable as hell.

Another episode of cute girls doing their cute things like eating bentos together. Not too much happened but their PE class session was pretty amusing to watch.

There's a clear difference in skills between some of these girls lol

Shion was angry judging from the lunchbox.
Also the sports part was interesting tho i have to say Hana is terrible at it.
The ice part was funny.

Kamuri was very cute in this episode. She's also quite athletic. The girls PE class session was pretty amusing. Hana is not that good at it.

Those damn mumps ruining things for people yet again. Then again it did ensure this series. Ah yes, I'd be as exhausted as Hana doing all that athletic stuff. I think I'd be willing to give it a try if I got to be in her position for that end card too though, smothered in Shion's breasts! XD Speaking of, girl don't deny the love lunch embrace it!

While I acknowledge that this is just a moeblob show, it's still something I can't help looking forward to. Granted, since I have no other moe shows this season next to Yuru Camp (which I lump in a whole different category), I don't mind giving this show its due.

So there are no second exams in Japan in case someone can't go because they got sick and they have to wait another year? Or is this just for plot's sake? Sounds pretty unfair :(

Another nice episode! I really like the interactions between these characters, feels very natural IMO.

It was sad to see Hana like that, as someone who made... poor decisions, I can relate with being older than the rest of the students around, thankfully looks like this fresh start here was what she needed n_n

That end card tho, I wish i was Hana!

I honestly thought it was called slow start because well, I assumed she was struggling with academics. Well I guess their reasoning works too, felt like a rather lack luster reason though, considering its the reasoning for the title of show, I expected a bit more, even for a CGDCT show. Well whatever.

Tama's quirkiness and cheerfulness is what I'm enjoying most from this show so far. Her little bit near the ending about no leggings. I understand.

Imouto juice?? Imouto soup?? ehhhhhhhhh

Overall, It was better that the first episode. At least, I found it funny at some parts.
Kanna... Kamuri is way too moe for my heart and I'm kinda interested in why a meal sequence should has such a fluidly animation. No complaints tho.

Lots more yuri jokes than I expected but it's not like I care. Nice relaxing show and etc etc

That one little fanservice scene kinda surprised me too. I just got the feeling that this would be ultra pure, so to speak.

Another adorable episode with some development. Shocked to know Hana is actually older than them.. and doing HS again... (now it makes the title make sense) And somehow she manage to hide her identity around her friends so far

Btw nice cliffhanger XD

This was a definite improvement over the first episode.

The jokes were funnier, the animation continues to be very fluid, which I really like, and the yuri vibes and a small little fanservice scene did surprise me, but in a good way.

Kamuri and Tama are my favourites so far. Seeing Kamuri outpacing the other girls in the 50m sprint, running Naruto-style was really amusing to watch. =P

Tama's mind must be going at 200mph though, as after she was off to get something to help with Hana's cramp, she got very distracted by the ice-cream vending machine. I would do the same if I was in her place too, admittedly. ^_^

A half of this episode was ruined by garbage subs. Idol unit is now comedy duo? They skipped honorifics and many scenes had no sense at all now. They fucked up a half od jokes by garbage localizations too and second half completely skipped. Who is paying for this crap?

This episode was so adorable!

Like a few others, I was expecting the reason for Hana to be in the younger year to be due to her academics or something like that but then again we got to see the most adorable sight of Hana with the mumps, so I'm happy with being wrong.

Hana's reason for being behind made sense. In some cases those deadlines for test taking can be strict. Unfortunately the system didn't care that Hana was physically unable to take the tests. And I can get her perspective that it would be uncomfortable to be a year behind everyone she knows. An extreme measure to go away from everyone she knows, but it is mostly paying off.

Some good moments. Everyone is still really active and sometimes over the top. Hana getting all over Eiko when it came to talking about the health of Eiko's sister. The right up in there hug that Tama gave Hana. The rescue by Eiko for Kamuri, etc.

Just a feel good show. Though wow Shion held a grudge there XD.

I dunno, what she was doing for whole year, I wonder? She wasn't moving at all? I know she's just written as that but still...

Guess her secret would be out pretty soon. But it still bothers me, I honestly don't believe she would be able to skip a year in Japan just because two weeks of illness. Not to mention there are schools that accept student even without any test and she could always join one or two weeks later would be hardly a problem. But.. well... it's just a plot device anyway, nothing more.

Yeah, it's pretty much the same for me. But it's kinda bad if you think about it as she easily overshadows them all (not to mention all of them are flat as cutting board, would be better if Hana at least looked or acted more mature in a way - heck, she's 17 years old and students who skips a year are more usually more competent if anything. Dunno why but when watching this show I always remember Hinako Note, both MCs are very similiar. Not to mention Hinako Note had better mix of girls than this)

Anyone that even remotely know anything about my tastes knows that I am adamantly going to say that Shion is by far and indisputably the best girl in the show. Cooks, cleans, is motherly, top tier waifu material right there, and those....those....THOSE MASSIVE MIRACULOUS MAMMARIES. And they arent just simple fanservice either, they're a gag they intentionally play on, even in the OP.

When Hana was trying to explain her lunch box situation and then deny the yuri cousin ship, that little pat on the back followed by that obnoxiously loud and sarcastic HEEEH from Kamuri was fucking hilarious.

Can't forget that Hinako, Chiaki, and loli Ruriko were all excelling in the titty department. Plus that show had a decent amount of vanilla fanservice.

Though Shion might win out since obviously she's got bigger plot going on, on top of having wife skills.

Just need to mention that it is illegal for schools to hold back a student who misses an entrance exam due to illness

By law, both in Japan and the US, they are absolutely required to allow the student to take the entrance exam after they are over their illness.
