Poor Tsunehiro over here thought it'd be as easy as working at a normal kobini, and to his surprise it's just a bunch of fishers coming in lmao. Meanwhile, Hana over here can't do simple things like give change to the customers... lmao. Makes sense especially after seeing her school life, in which she's just fucking asleep... great lmao.

Nice to see them rely on each other both in the kobini and in fishing, as the entire rest of the episode was just on fishing from there. Boss man told us a bit of her backstory, and yeah, pretty much makes sense. Poor Tsunehiro though, dude got trolled by the ultimate troller xD

The daily routine of Hana segment was funny ... when its not all about fishing she's just a normal high school girl ... who also happens to live in an attic of a convenience store, i guess there is more stray cats than just our main-kun in this tale.

Hana is so cute and funny. I love her hilarious reactions, haha. She is the best girl of the season besides Hitomi from Kabushikigaisha Magi-Lumière are. <3

I liked how Hana got more screen time. We got to learn more about her daily life.

My favourite episode so far, perfect balance of humour and serious themes. After all Hana's hilarious faces and interesting moments I was more than happy to have an episode focused on her. She is a great character and I loved how it wasn't exactly clear whether her main motivation was to get payback or help MC learn more fishing lore....or maybe both in equal parts. Great writing.

Tsunehiro was a bit more chill this episode and slightly less doom and gloom, hopefully he is finding at least a bit of happiness now with new friends.

Every week now I look forward to new Hana reactions lol

That musical cue when Hana stopped reeling was pretty cool.

This episode added a whole lot more depth to Hana. High school girl, designated waifu, and fishing otaku extraordinaire who can somehow easily translate cheeseburger units, but not subtract change. Kind of wish the story of her family situation came from her instead of the manager, but she can shape up to be a very interesting character if given more time.

MC, on the other hand, continues to be himself. Can we swap or something?

Bruh the MC didn’t even do anything this episode other than exist I guess. You’re beefing for no reason.

Animation quality dove for the bottom, but at least we got some character development for Hana this episode.

Such a long build-up for her comeback, I laughed. And I had no idea she was a high-schooler. I don't think that was hinted at at all?

4 episodes in, the show continues to be veeery slow-paced for me, in terms of warming up to the characters or the love of fishing. The main character still feels absolutely nothing for the activity, and I still don't really see the appeal either.

An episode where Tsunehiro doesn't run away from anyone! Although this episode was calmer and had less drama, it was the best one so far. Tsunehiro adapts quickly as a cashier, but when it comes to fishing, he's still a rookie. Thankfully, Hana is there to help him out.

I didn't expect Hana to be in high school; her actions didn't give off that vibe. It's nice to learn more about her. Plus, she has a lot of different hairstyles and her expressions are funny.

Poor Tsunehiro got beat by a girl! Hana can be as spiteful as you want, but there's one thing she'll never get right: calculating change!

Holy shit I don’t believe my eyes, Tsunehiro went an entire episode without being an asshole to Hana and the others and actually used the episode to learn more about Hana and fishing. I really hope he keeps this up man because it’s genuinely been hard to root for him the first few episodes. Every growth story has to start somewhere though and hopefully this is a turning point for him.

Really neat to learn more about Hana and her daily routine. I didn’t know she was still in high school. Balancing work, school and fishing has to be exhausting but she never lets it show when she’s on the water. You can tell that’s her one escape from everything. Her parents leaving her in the grandma’s care which in turn means she’s living alone in the shop is really sad tho.

Think they’re both going to have some heartfelt moments and I’m very much looking forward to seeing it. Tsunehiro has already taken a clear interest in her

You gotta love Hana and the fact that she doesn't have a generic design.

Tsunehiro is coming along. But as usual in these shows and real life, a major set back can be expected.

@joemaamah Learning more about a friend who one of the main character is hardly worthwhile? That's a very hollow criticism.

Hana's petty as hell lmao, love her.

That hair bun.

Shimarin:

Finally, a worthy opponent!


Now that Tsunehiro's major problems have been lessened (except for his impending death), the show's really becoming more and more enjoyable by the episode.

Love the new ED visuals as well, I guess to cement the wholesome vibes for the rest of the show (until Tsunehiro's death).

While the supporting characters are alright so far, the MC is really uninteresting and unlikeable, which is making this pretty hard to watch. I might drop it next episode.

People are being really hard on Tsunehiro lol, he was actually the best he’s ever been this episode, yeah he can be a downer but his situation isn’t exactly normal, I can cut him some slack. This episode was mainly about Hana tho, and man she is an absolute riot, l loved seeing her daily routine and when she crashed out at the store over counting change lol, but I wasn’t expecting her to be a high schooler, since everyone else is an adult I just kinda assumed but that’s pretty cool, I like her hairstyle when she goes to school with those fishing themed hair clips.

The second half of this episode tho dude, that really just made me wanna go fishing lol, that looked so damn chill, Tsunehiro didn’t catch anything but really you don’t gotta catch something to enjoy fishing. And it was here we got a bit more background on Hana, she’s doing really well for herself but I wonder if that divorce her parents had will become relevant later, hopefully not but I can see it with the whole “Negative Positive” thing. One thing is certain tho, and that’s that this girl loves her fishing time and she’s also a bit of a brat as Tsunehiro said at the end there lol, she got his ass good, but she’s a lovable brat no doubt.

Oh and also nice ED visuals upgrade, I definitely like that more than the view of the city as the night falls, it was cool but a bit more could be going on, I think this is a good change.

nice to see the ending visuals got updated, I kinda hope Tsunehiro's prognosis comes up in the next couple episodes since I do want to know what is actually up with him

I am enjoying the show either way so it's not a big deal

This was quite the Hana centric episode and as such she got to show off to Hiro about fishing and put him on the spot about what he said earlier. She can be thoughtful fur sure... but yeah she's also a prankster. The substraction she had to make wasn't even that hard but the animation effect was kinda funny.

In any case, different lures to different levels of depth, steady and go technique, there seems to be more than meets the eye in this.

That's the problem with Anime fans. If the main character doesn't have the mental strength of say Goku or Luffy or any typical shonen hero, they'll whine and complain about them being "pathetic."

Those type of people are so shallow, and it makes the threads incredibly insufferable because they don't even attempt to understand there plights. There so stubborn.

Oh new ED!

Hana character development episode. She's precious. So Hana's just a high school student and is therefor younger than Sasaki. Her getting windows blue death-screen was funny.
She's definitely making this show more entertaining.

Chill episode.

The Everymart fishing convenience store is not your usual convenience store, and Tsuneshiro is just trying to grasp the items sold, especially fishing equipment that Hana is rather well-versed in, it's taking a toll on him. Hana is the better colleague, but even she shorts out on small cash that she cannot count, leaving Hiro to step in and assist. Even manager Machida has a problem with her because she's stocking the convenience store with fishing stuff, even bait worms that has people quit up in arms.

Hana's daily life day and night living in her grandmother's convenience store that everyone's working in, is not just fishing and work, but surprisingly school as well, just like your average high schooler of age that has the smarts to back her up. She even takes time to teach and coach Hiro about fishing lures and trying to fish with simple techniques that would stand right with any beginner, such a thoughtful girl with Machida's explanations to back them up.

Hana getting her revenge by proving her fishing is better than Hiro's, their catch-and-count rivalry is fascinating.
