Wait, did they say onsen? Noel and her curiosity. Well no doubt that means they are going to the hot springs. Noel is about to experience the pleasures of that.

Overall cute and relaxing episode. These girls are having quite a lot of fun now with the drama past them.

I guess Souta wanted to go to the hot springs with them. There was closure between Yuzuki and Nonoka. If only the girls knew that Noel and Togawa were in the same place.

Cute episode. Yuzuki, Koharu and Nonoka go to a hot spring together while Shione goes to the same place with Noel. Poor Souta is left behind.

Yuzuki asks pardon to Nonoka for her behavior and asks to be slapped back. Obviously Nonoka doesn't do it and pat her cheek instead. Noel manages to bring out Shione's not a bitch side a little.

So Koharu is totally oblivious to Souta's feelings and Nonoka doesn't seem to be self conscious at all either yet. Yuzuki on the other end knows.

It was also hinted that the girls (and us) will soon learn about the death of Nonoka's mother.

A bit of a slower, more character driven episode....for a show that is in general slow and character driven. :D The slap scene and the build up to it did help the fight/drama of the previous two episodes balance out a bit more I guess. And the "How long have I been alone?" by Shione or whatever she said scene seems to imply how that little problem will eventually get resolved. I was happy stick boy was left behind to watch the shop they legit tricked me with that reveal.

Also yeah, mom death info most likely incoming.

Noel spending time with Shione ^^

It was nice to see Yuzuki getting Koharu to bring Nonoka to the hot spring together.

Souta acting cool on the phone and got stuck with helping Koharu xD

Noel's group missing Nonoka's group was a good thing as Shione still isn't ready for a confrontation!

That box machine malfunction and its message it brings xD

Yuzuki asking Nonoka to hit her back and resolving the tension!

Shione having a weak spot for Noel ^^

Nonoka's favour... her "thanks,huh?" in the onsen too.

Souta if you aren't MC in harem anime or you don't have guy friend there is no chance girls will take you to hot springs xD

When I thought they win hot spring I was wonder how Shione will join to them,
when was showed Shione win tickets I was wonder will she invite other girls?

When they missed each other in hot springs I was wonder when they gonna meet each other? xD

I was a bit surprised that at the end don't know there are in one hot spring hotel xD

Really like this series :)
Can't wait to see next episode :D

Another slow episode, but with how this has gone so far I'm not surprised by that anymore.

This was decent, but the fact that they were all at the hot springs but never all ended up bumping into each other (and how there were many times when they almost did) really irritated me. But then, it always irritates me when a TV show, anime or movie does something like that.

So judging from what Shione said she blames Nonoka for leaving her alone when she left and doesn't intent on making new friends.
I am wondering if she wants to make up or not.
From the looks of it it will be very complicated.

On the other hand it was funny that they didn't run into each other at the inn tho it would have made for a few nice scenes if they did.

A bit slow paced but a nice episode. Good to see Yuzuki acting a bit more normal and Nonoka rising above everything to refuse to slap her.
Noel ...I can't get enough of this little kawaii mastermind stringing these friends together . Love her!

Why couldn't Yuzuki just invite Nonoka herself? Unlike her character, Nonoka is pretty chill and wouldn't really hold grudges against anyone.

Lol'd at Yuzuki saying it's a pretty nice view after looking at the saucer. She hated it so much this whole time, and now she's gradually taking a liking to it since last episode, as it displayed some cool fireworks. XD

The way Yuzuki wanted to redeem for her abrupt stupidity was hilarious! If I were in Nonoka position, I would've bitchslapped her pretty good. She was asking for it anyways.

Nice onsen fanservice. I wasn't really expecting the bath scenes but it was well done.

Poor Souta.. These girls were pretty mean to leave him out of the group. Ah, he probably wished to build a harem too. *Sigh..

Decent episode. I'm interested in which way they'll direct the plot now. So far, it's only been based on melodrama but what now.. O.o

A nice episode. Yuzuki is too ashamed of herself to invite Nonoka, so she enlists Koharu who ineptly does it.

Poor Souta is left behind, but did an honorable deed by watching the shop for Koharu. At least Souta won't take all night getting the kaiju back inside.

Noel is a doll, but she certainly is clumsy. It was funny at the end to see standoffish Shione holding Noel's prize that she had given her.

Can Nonoka and Shione please just make up like it's killing me... If Shione would just wait a second Nonoka could explain why she left like .__. Come on guys, how old are you now? Considering how long it took Yuzuki to shape up it's gonna be awhile till anything happens. //sigh

I really like this show. Its my replacement for Hanayamata this season! Though there is a lot more story and drama here then in Hana.
Its a REALLY slow anime though. I'm glad they are taking their time...but damn it sucks to have to wait weekly for this. I WANNA KNOW WHATS GONNA HAPPEN

Ouch Souta just got shopkeeperzoned by Koharu.

Then again who wouldn'y want to tap that fine megane.

Shione is being a tsundere bitch with Noel. This kind of girl is probably worse than Yuzuki, at least Yuzuki is open about her being a bitch.

Can't get enough of Noel's obliviousness though XD last episode was fireworks and now onsen. She was just too god damn moe!

I thought Yuzuki was just going to apologize but her real plan was to ask Nonoka to hit her. After seeing that 200 kg of force packed in her punch, I'd have second thoughts too haha.

So, in this episode they go separately to the onsen but they don't meet. What is that supposed to accomplish? Is it a metaphor for something?

Shione doesn't want to make friends anymore because she was "betrayed" ages ago. I don't even know...these girls take everything to the extreme consequences. Without considering that if I were Yuzuki, Koaru and Souta, I would feel pretty hurt by this behavior. I mean, weren't they all friends? It's like she didn't care about anyone else besides Nonoka. She acts towards her other "friends" pretty much the same way Nonoka supposedly acted towards her. She's another living contradiction exactly like Yuzuki.
I guess this is the reason why everyone treats her like some kind of weirdo.

Meanwhile no one questions a single thing about Noel, again. She is the saucer...but no one cares.

It's always the same MC-wins-lottery-cliche-development but well, at last in this, it wasn't as cliche.

Yuzuki is A LOT better now.

"My family came here from Japan 10 years" < sounds weird when the anime itself takes place in Japan, just sayin'

Souta is starting to remind me of Mochizou, poor guy. In love with a densu girl.

What boring girls tho, they should learn from shoujo manga purotagonisuto.

Liked this episode.

4/5

What leaves me doubtful of anime, is the plot, yet does not want to show his hand, arrived at the sixth episode.
Narratively this episode is calm and peaceful, almost as if to prepare for a dramatic finale.
However, I have a very relaxed, thanks to the OST really good.
The drawings did not show a good level, while the scenes were very well drawn and colored.
Noel was very nice and friendly today.
Really fun and surprise to see Souta in the store and not at the spa with the girls. XD
I am determined to finish this anime to see if the plot will prove discounter will be a miracle to have an original ending.
I'm curious! ASD

Aww this little friendship is so cute between Noel and Shione. Noel will be fundamental to reunite Shione with the rest of the group, I feel.
Wtf is Nonoka's dad problem? It looks like Nonoka is the mother and he's the child. He can't do anything by himself it seems.
This was a very generic SoL episode. Nothing special happening and probably that's what will happen for the next 3 or 4 episodes beforing preparing for the great finale.
