During a scorching break where even paw pads might burn, Sasaki spots a lost mother and baby.

Inviting them into Ramen Akaneko, Sasaki starts comforting the baby with his special skills.

Sasaki is such a lovable and caring kitty :3

Tamako's brushing has gotten better making everyone at Ramen Akaneko very happy. Good for them, hehe.

"I-I wasn't sleeping! I was just resting my eyes."

Hana is a real tsundere neko, lol.

Wow, Sasaki is really a caring person or cat you say.

High quality brushing skills from Tamako is a great help for them

She must have put a lot of effort onto it fs.

Hana is funny and cute with her tsundere moments.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

I'm so happy that Tamako is enjoying her job and is appreciated. When she got the T-shirt and breathable work attire and then hugged them, it made me smile.

So the logo is supposed to be written as "Akaneco", and not "Akaneko"?

@splitshocker 'Akaneco' or 'Akaneko' are correct the same way, both words are valid romanization of the original japanese word. The same way, I read the japanese word for 'cat' romanized as 'neco' and 'neko'.

@Serafos As she should be with one of the most well known tsundere seiyuu in the business, Rie Kugimiya. I haven't even seen some of her earlier stuff, like Shakugan no Shana, but it's one of the most recognizable voices to me as an anime viewer

Learning more about Bunzo and SAsaki's background was great and they're adorable as kittens. Apparently the old guy that took them in is still around, they almost talked like he wasn't, though maybe they're euphemizing it a bit and talking more about visiting his grave, which wouldn't surprise me entirely. But Gramps retiring because of physical limitations, but being sharp like that is good to hear

@Reecey91 I almost wonder if Hana would've been as good or if she's maybe more awkward in spite of her willingness to swap with him at one point. Krishna would be paralyzed with fear (ironic, given humans tend to be petrified of tigers) if she had to babysit

@holdingnothing Maybe, it would be nice to see Hana interact more and come out of her shell abit

Fun to see how the cats reacted to the baby, And how kind of them to give a young mom a break. Peak brushness!

The hot Summer heat of a mother walking around with her babysitting infant, and Sasaki inviting her into Ramen Akaneko to rest is certainly a much-needed affair. Giving the mother some ramen while the cats take care of her child, and it's a good rest's worth for a customer, giving them the utmost service whilst during their break. It's a one-time only affair...too bad about that.

Tamako's brushing goes like the norm, and her brushing has gotten better from the knack of using different ones for each cat. And Hana not feeling this one bit because of the high-quality brushing she got before Tamako was assigned to her, the latter has definitely learned a lot to even make her fall asleep. Her own cat research helped things out, and for the thanks of her contribution, Sasaki giving her staff clothing as gifts, Tamako now fits in better.

Bunzo's Gramps being a ramen connoisseur being witnessed by both him and Sasaki being childhood friends, both the adopted and predecessor are alike. But Bunzo wanting a new item on the menu, after seeing both Tamako and Krishna go past their capabilities, spurs the rest all the same...though the former is not quite the person to ask of opinion for new things.

Cat paw steps for something new.

@Reecey91 She has her own backstory that hopefully will get expanded, but I haven't read the manga. There's not a lot of info online, fan wiki doesn't even exist atm
