Funny episode with a lot on Inami. I was kind of hoping for more on Satou-kun, though, tbh. I feel that all the other characters (including Inami) had their chance to shine, except for maybe Satou. Oh well, we still had some scenes with him. Poor Satou... Yachiyo is so dense, lol.

Next week... Takanashi's sisters! I don't know... I like the regular Working! staff more than Souta's sisters, but I guess I like the one that's always locking herself up writing novels or something.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Nice episode, felt like the first time the characters had actually been shown engaging in their jobs (or actually doing any work, like Kyouko).

Liked the focus on Inami, although the first few minutes were a bit punch-heavy, the rest of the episode made up for it. I did like Souta's scale of height versus normality!

Next week's episode should be interesting, though I think I'd rather see more of events at the Wagnaria...

If Working!! keeps this awesomeness up, it'll probably become one of my Spring 2010's favorites.

Satou really looks like a Shizuo-Kasuka hybrid in the waiter outfit.

And here is a terrible quality gif of Satou being cute.

didn't really like the ending of the episode, but I guess the rest was ok...
I was expecting for some "real" developement between Inami and Takanashi, but in the end, nothing came -.- (I was imagining something like Takanashi enters, Inami gets happy and starts hitting him to release all her hitting "urge" and telling afterwards that she really needs him xD )
Next ep looks not that interesting, but lets see, if the sisters can enjoy.

If you a guy and see Inami you should run, I don't know why everyone hates her; you guys should try to put yourself in her shoes. I know it is no fun for the guys getting knock out, but it is no fun for her either. I mean hey try to get a boyfriend in that situation!

Satou and Souma should serve more! Nice team work!

This episode was basically rehash of every single humour methods used in previous episodes, which isn't really good. Thus, most of the timings were to predictable; the timing where Inami punches a guy, timing where Satou gets mad... etc etc. It wasn't good as its previous episode.

Souma is still amazing though, and next episode definitely looks like something that I can look forward to.

Really liked this episode. Shows how much everyone will go out of their way to try to keep the harmony of the restaurant. Hope there is more development between Inami and Takanashi, the idea of him keeping her in somewhat check makes me laugh.

Enjoyable episode, shame that it was so focused on Inami, but on the other hand she wasn't so annoying this time. Satou rocked as always, he's my favorite male character here. And i was hoping for some more of Souta's imouto, she's cute. ^^ But next episode's gonna be about Souta's sisters so i'm looking forward to it.

If anything, this episode proves how vital Takanashi is to the restaurant (at least while Inami is still employed there). Loved her comment about how she's willing to sacrifice Takanashi to get over her phobia. Those two need to get together. Next week looks interesting.

Souma is scared of Inami when Takanashi is away. The guys at the background are nice enough to switch with Inami.

Good episode. It looks like its kinda following the manga a little bit actually. Anyway, Satou + being a waiter = Shizzy-chan! :D *wishes he would sneak in a Izaya to Souma, both are in the wonderful Durrarra!* The little sister is cute! Next week, its all about Takanashi's Sisters! Should be fun. --- Randy

Hey I wounder if they ever considered giving guys masks, or a girl mask, and see if it works on Inami, it'd be funny to see the reaction. Any way fun ep.

I was fangirling all these parts ! xD

I think i enjoyed this episode . ohohoho !
There's more of Souma and Satou scene !
And for once , Yachiyo isn't there to piss Satou on with her misunderstandings.
There's less punching from Inami too, so it didn't ruin the ep.
Takanashi's moments are funny, even when he didn't appear much in this ep .

Overall, loved it !
I think i'm gonna love the next episode more. haha ~

No, I refuse to let that happen >.<

Anyway, the episode was great as usual with Inami being centered on half of the episode. Next week should be interesting.

A bit too much Inami in this episode. Enough with her, she's the worst character in the show.


All the other characters beside Inami are great.

But next episode should be awesome.

Judging by the title I would have though this episode would have been about Takanashi taking care of his sister.

I'm warming up to this series. The jokes are more varied (if still re-used every episode) and the characters have a bit more depth to them. I'm still not fond of Inami - as far as I'm concerned, she's useless as an employee and annoying as a character =/ The other characters are fun to watch, however, so Inami is their only weak point.

I understand that a lot of people find Inami boring and/or annoying (I do too, at times), but then again, most characters are still fairly one-trick at this point in the series. It's episode 5; character development doesn't often happen this soon, at least in comedy series.

Too much Inami, not enough Satou or Souma. But...they got to wait, and Satou kicked Souma in the ass, so I'll let it slide.

Most people don't find this type of character all that funny. I like Sakura, but when all she was doing was punch Naruto, it's just grates the nerves. Maybe the Japanese love it. I don't know. I hate it.

I wouldnt expect too much character development if any by any of the characters, seeing as this is based on a 4-koma. I suspect it will continue to rehash jokes for the rest of the series (i dont see this going past 13 episodes) about each of the characters "quirks" (I guess this is the word im looking for).

Its worked well so far Im enjoying every minute. Im hoping someone makes a gif of Poplar-zilla.

This has gotten really stale, it's the same jokes over and over again in the same exact setting. The sister background looks entertaining but other than that it's been getting progressively less entertaining.
