| Great episode. This has become my favorite anime this season so far. ^^b |
 |
| Did she die? |
| I liked this episode. It had sweet moments and funny moments. |
| Loved it. Poor Minko. Kinda saw it coming that she liked him, but.. didn't see that coming. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Bit slow coming into this anime. Just watched first 4 episodes, and I'm really liking it. I Feel bad for Minko T.T |
| The drama, the drama ! Direction is really slick, Masahiro Ando improved a lot since Sword of the Stranger. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Grey Heron is my new favorite character of the season. |
 |
RoyalStranger said: Grey Heron is my new favorite character of the season. LOL he was the best! : D I think I fell in love with Ohana with this episode. ;_; What a cutie. |
 |
| Lovely episode! Quite dramatic at the end there, too! Looking forward to the next! |
| I want more Ko. :O In the meantime, poor Minchi. |
 |
| Minko went wayyy too far strangling Ohana, she needs a boot to the face! |
| Ohana's fear with the heron was hilarious. xD Yuina's character seems pretty nice. And the one Minchi like is Tohru! Geez. I always think of Ohana-Tohru-Minchi love triangle. But Yuina entered. |

Casteil said: taterhead said: So, is Tohru dating Yuina just to do something about the older inn? "Childhood friend" - Everything's OK. Oh thank god. Now we can continue to cheer for Tohru x Minko yay! xD |
| Good episode :) Poor Minchi, I feel really bad for her. Hey, I would like Tohru too xD I think he's awesome (And because of Fruits Basket :O) Ya' know, Ohana means family in Hawaiian. Yes, I got that from Lilo and Stitch XD |
| Dat pacing. Love it. Love it. Grey Heron haha. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Maybe due to the yuri effect in previous episode, I seriously thought Minko was talking about Ohana when she rejected that boy. For some reason that Grey Heron hates Ohana =) Can't wait to see what Ohana gonna due next~ |
 |
| Meh don't like tohru x minko :( more like OHANA X TOHRU. defenitely q11111 |
| New Nickname: Hana-Chi |
| haha Ohana is pretty awesome. |

| I'm slowly starting to dislike Minko. I mean, geez, no matter what Ohana does to try and be nice to her, Minko just insults her and act all violent! And Tohru is such an ass to everyone around him, so I guess they're quite a good match. I don't like the pairing though... one jerk is enough by himself/herself. Tomoe's comments were hilarious haha! I'm hoping she'll get some romance~ I'd be thrilled if it was a girl, but she seems set on guys :< Speaking of that! I've heard some rumors that there's supposedly yuri/shoujo-ai in this anime, but I've yet to see anything solid proof (bath-scene not included). Anyone who can tell me if it's true or not? |
 |
| Quite a nice episode, first day of school already much new character development and some love/emotional part in it what was actually quite nice put in to motion! But damn that ending was quite sad tbh :( |
 |
| GRAY HERON FTW!!! It's nice to see Noto Mamiko raging about boyfriend. Very interesting there. |
 |
| Heated face-to-face arguments while standing around butt naked. l ._. Yuina = Kurumi I mean seriously? So similar, ugh. Grey Heron! |
 |
| Good episode. But now this is getting my hopes up that there will be a kiss scene with Ko and Ohana. Hopefully there is at least a resolution to her feelings for him. |
 |
| so.. ohana go to school he? she looks great! XD I like it! XD btw new girl show up :3 it is getting interesting and interesting :3 |
| I was hoping the show would go full-Nichijou when the heron appeared. Minko sounds cuter than Minchi. |
| Really good episode. Ohana is the big city girl who (by Japanese standards) has a big mouth and an opinion on everything and is not afraid to say it, hence Minko telling her, "what you're doing now is innapropiate". Minko and Nako come from a different tradition to Ohana. Having said that, Minko should really be more open to Ohana. It's a shame she's so closeminded, because she really has a lot of potential (and is hawwtt to boot). |

| ahhhh, minko's love rival is here! |
 |
| Might be my favorite episode so far! |
| For some reason, I kept picturing Yuina as a two-faced girl before this episode. But she looks like she'll be good friends with the rest of the cast in the OP and ED. I guess we'll see! I also didn't expect her voice to be so high pitched haha. I like the addition of the grey heron. He pretty cool! I love Ohana's first reaction to it 😂 Nako's gotten a lot better now that she actually talks to Ohana :p I wonder what Ohana's nickname will be :) I love the sudden cut to Ohana saying oyasumi to Minko 😂  Hmm, this has to be some kind of misunderstanding seeing that they end up friends. Right? I sure hope so. |
| 'Min-chi' what a cute little nickname. <3 I must admit japanese nicknames are the best. |
 |
| Wew so Minchi likes that Tohru guy, just seeing her getting blushed is surprising though, too bad that Yuina chick got a hand of him now muhahahaha let the love triangle begin or not....... bet it's just a misunderstanding |
 |
| i wouldn't date Minko even if i was offered money.. not with that psycho personality. hope she doesn't get that Tohru guy |
| see you, space cowperson . . . |
| Wow. So this was possibly even worse than the previous episode. Well, not really, it was just plain boring and hollow. At least the previous one was a mess in a ways that was still entertaining to some degree. You summed it up perfectly. It's basically soap-opera-tier romance, which also seems to drive Minko's character arc backwards instead of forwards. Well, maybe they'll throw a twist on it and I'll look like a cranky old man (if I don't already seem like one, amirite). Honestly, I want to be wrong about this show, I truly do. neji64plms said: This episode was better than the last, but I liked the first the best. I liked in the first ep how Ohana's Grandma was like some old bitch lady that made her interesting, but now she just smiles and isn't even violent anymore. Yeah. I'm starting to suspect that the slapping was used as cheap shock value to trick us into believing that this show was going to be "realistic" and it's never going to be followed up on. Again, I'd love to be wrong. |

| Inbefore, those two are just choosing a birthday present for Minko just kidding, that wouldn't make up for the drama we'd miss. A pretty good episode overall. |
  |
| Definitely recovered from the last episode. Lot of amusing stuff in here. I like that while Minko is still just strangling Ohana by the end. Which was honestly too much. Ohana and Nako have become pals pretty quick. Having lunch together even after Ohana embarrasses her in the hallway. I just liked the school dynamics they introduced. All the girls believing Ohana's sophisticated for being from Tokyo. The guys all being obsessed with "Minko-hime." The rejection scene was too funny. And the last main character prominently in the OP finally showing up. This episode introduces an older rival inn early on. And then goes right into the grand daughter of that inn's owner. Yuina seems interesting. I'm wary of her because characters with her personality and position are often framed as villains in slice of life high school anime. I think this series is if nothing else above such cheap characterizations though. No, trying to be subtle but actually painfully obvious hints that she's always scheming or something to be found. I don't even believe the bait that she's dating Tohru. Probably just a misunderstanding. It's always a misunderstanding. |
 |
| Yuri dreams swiftly crushed! Internal shipping will continue regardless. In other news, this is still one of the better SOL shows I've seen so far. I'm hoping as I always do this early into a 26-ep series that it doesn't get stale halfway through, because right now it's very enjoyable! Ohana is quickly becoming one of my favorite female characters; the way she handles various social situations is simultaneously honest, funny, and cute. Sad that Minko's interest has been seemingly taken away by Yuina :( Well, Tohru may be a bit of prospector, since he's after the successor to Fukuya and all... hopefully that's not the case, though. That bird (stork? heron? monster?) is scary af. |
 |
| Slightly better than the last episode. The appearance of a rival inn could make for some interesting conflict later on. Minko reacting so harshly to Ohana hasn't bothered me that much, but in this episode she was down right obnoxious, especially with the strangling on the bridge. This character arc should clear some things up though, so I'll cut Minko a bit of slack for now. It'd be nice to see a bit more of Tomoe, she seems fun. |
 |
| Ohana is cute af with her school uniform She still thinks a lot about Kouichi, he has always been there and it wasn't until his confession that she realized how much she appreciates him, I'm curious to see if we will have development on their relationship despite the distance. Nako writing her ideas about a nickname for Minko was adorable, she reminds me to Hifumi from New Game. "Girls get along the best when talking about a common enemy" proceeds to talk bad about Tooru in front of Minko, Ohana, you so innocent. Yuina appeared for first time, she will become the heiress of the rival inn but she doesn't really seem to care much about that, I want to see more of her and it definitely looks like I will soon since Tooru took her for a bike ride, oh Minko... |
 |
| Felt like I was watching for 5 minutes and the episode was already over. Interesting development not just the fact that Minko is into Tohru, but also that he has some kind of relationship with the heir of the other inn. Looking forward to see how things will play out. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Kou will most likely die from uncertainty if Ohana doesn't call him soon xD I'm sure he has been quite nervous since he send that message. That aside, I have to say that I'm a bit disappointed there will be some drama regarding a possible love triangle. Not to mention that since I dislike Minko, I couldn't care less about her feelings but maybe, this situation would give her some interesting character development or that's what I hope at least. Honestly, She has been quite annoying so far with that cold and hostile attitude of hers. |
| OHANA This episode had be gasping so much. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Ohana sooo cute on that new school uniform jeez why Minko looks like she always has a menstruation xD So the future 4th member on their group debuted in this ep.I smell an interesting love rival between her and Minko lol Pretty good ep |
