She needs to get raped and then kill everyone with a scythe. It's the only way I'm not gonna drop this, just about every character is either annoying or worthless or both.

It looks and sounds really pretty, though.

What a cliffhanger, I bet that the writer just wants to get his drafts back. So much to wait for the next episode, sigh.

good episode...loved it when Ohana stuck up for herself cause hearing Minko say Die over and over again was starting to piss me off and i am not in this anime. Now that she put her foot down maybe things can change at least a little.

and the ending scene i was like NOOO! NOT OHANA! RUN FROM THE PEDO!!! lol

i'm in love with this show i can tell that Ohana is gonna be one of favorite characters this season and Nako's shyness is unreal :3 but man i just notice how much Ohana mom's brother and that novelist look alike.

I'm loving this anime... if it keeps going like this without dropping in quality I'll definitely give it a 10.

I especially loved the confrontation speech. It was awkward and hard to understand (for the two girls who don't know the background) but that was what made it realistic. She did her best to convey her feelings.

My suspicion is that there was no missing draft--the "author" is just using the opportunity to scam a free month at the resort. Not only a scam artist but a pervy rapist as well, I don't think it's a coincidence that Ohana's name is on the story/fantasy.

Definitely no coincidence, I had a small suspicion about him from the first episode (he totally checked her out the first time he saw her.) I bet there's also stuff about the other girls among those papers.

I bet he just wants to explain why he wrote that... still an unexpected cliffhanger (but I'm 99% sure he doesn't intend to assault her.)

Oh wow, I loved this episode so much. Favourite scene was with Tooru and Ohana in the van. That just seemed so well done, and him singing along with the radio was a sweet touch, it made him seem like a real person. I love how deep the message of the show is, believing in yourself is NOT enough! I hate how that seems to be the endgame of far too much philosophy. You need a lot more than self esteem to get by in this world and live a full life.

Ending scene, wow this proves that this is a whole different type of show in the Slice of Life Genre. Amazing. I think either Minko or Nako is gonna save Ohana, at least be the first ones to arrive at the scene. Though judging by the preview, nothing really *bad* is gonna happen. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT A FULL WEEK!!! Gahh!

Fave Characters: Tooru, Ohana, Minko, the head chef... he hasn't said much but at least he has been nice.

What an ending... I'm going to take a complete guess and say that the ending was leading us in the wrong direction (do you really think this show will have rape/murder/kidnapping?) and I'm going to predict that the author ends up grovel-ing to Ohana.

Anyways, great episode. The animation is easy on the eyes (for me, at least) and I hope the show continues to be great.

Can't believe we're only 2 episodes in and I've put my rating up to a 10. This has never happened; usually I wait until at least episode 15. The whole feel of this anime is amazing. The characters, story, art.. everything!

Don't know about you guys, but I find this anime similar to Spirited Away.

Excellent stuff! The cliffhanger has left me highly anticipating the next episode. The characters all seem very realistic in their reactions, and this episode really shows that Ohana's character has a lot of depth. The animation still remains very nice to look at too!

I was thinking Ohana x Tooru because of the "I seriously dislike this guy." Tooru, you should watch out for her scythe.
Anyway, this is truly a wonderful series. Everything is good, not to mention that Ohana is so cute XD

WTF is wrong with these people at this inn??? I think Ohana would be better off running away and living on the streets!! Nako is constantly running away and behaves as if she gets her ass beat on a daily basis. Minko has a chip on her shoulder and needs to get her ass beat on a daily basis!

While preparing a meal for the staff full of all the things that they don't like, she should also lace it with a little bit of arsenic...double the dose for that wicked grandmother of hers.

Definitely the best show of the season as of right now (I'm holding out for Deadman Wonderland to crown the overall...), I just love everything about it. The storyline, art, animation, music, characters... What else is there? It's an excellent blend and it really works out well.

I bet nothing too bad is going to happen with the cliffhanger (Probably something along the lines of "It's not my fault I love women! Please understand!!!", or something like that...) but if something serious does happen, or she gets saved from something serious... Now that would be a great development, although I would hate for it to happen to Ohana, she's such a great character.

I cannot wait until next week, I haven't been this excited for episodes since Madoka.

This show excels in every field.

Good art, characters, drama, setting. Everything is well above average in it. It might not be a very hard hitting show by any means but it does its own thing and does it very well.

Definitely the best show of the Spring season.

IM IN LOVE with this anime. Seriously, its so perfect to me. This girl is so adorable and likable and it makes me so upset when they are all so mean to her. The van scene really touched me. She really had it rough, a girl nice like that theres no way i could be mean too her.

Waiting a week for this anime is going to be so painful, its just too good.

What the hell was that ending? Other then that, I liked this episode more than the first. I hope Onaha snaps soon after everyone is treating her so badly after trying her hardest to be the best worker she can


I hope so too, im rather getting weary of her just 'taking it' I would have flipped a table already and im not an 'angry' person .. but then again I would have left that place after my first day.


ok so were would you go? your a 16 years old girl with no money and your mother/father doesnt take you in. Live on tha street?


I would likely speak to a friend family , while I worked on getting a standing night time job~ I held one of those most of my teens , so yes its quite possible, and sorry I dont take abuse from people. Ill make my own way before I get smacked around.

Gosh, this show is so brilliant. Excellent episode once again. I'm really loving the atmosphere <3

The ending was pretty unexpected, but based on the preview I'm sure she'll be fine. Seems like Minko walks in.
I'm a little worried for shy girl. At first I thought she maybe had a crush on the author or sth, but now it seems like it might be something different. She's been cleaning the room alone with him after all. Ugh. This doesn't seem like the sort of show that'll go into that territory though, so we'll see.

YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSS, CUT! *Thumbs up*

Ohana's finally snapping towards the end of the episode was pretty much the best part for me. Woah, for someone with a such small composure she mustered enough strength to take down both of them at once. That chef boy was actually right about her strength. I just love the way she expresses that inner fury of hers, built up from being treated so harshly by those around her despite her efforts to become a good employee. Bravo!

Oh, and that writer....Ohana's gonna get raped. D: (not really)

Cool, someone actually tried to figure out what was in there...

As expected, he's writing about the girls of the inn. It's a lot less raunchy than I would have thought, but that doesn't change the fact that it still is an erotic novel... and it's quite shamelessly perverted of him to use those girls as inspiration. Bad, bad lolicon... Then again, I guess he IS ashamed of it.

Definitely the best show of the season so far! I absolutely adore Ohana! She's adorable and has a great personality. The whole confrontation between her, Minko, and Nako was great. It was also great seeing her past and why she doesn't like to rely on people. I love the characters. Head chef guy seems nice and the scene with Tooru was fantastic. Honestly, I could care less if this had romance on it or not. I forsee some friend making and that's all I want right now. Nako is just like me. No lie, she acts exactly like me, so I'm especially looking forward to some character development for her. And that ending! Ugghhh, I hate creepy pedo dude! I hope someone comes along to save poor Ohana! I mean, that's just sick.

What "Adolescence" do you have?

I pretty much feel the same way I did last week. I really like Ohana, and I really don't like the other characters. BUT I've also come to realize that I really like how Ohana interacts with the other characters, and that's what gives this show the potential to be the best of the season. Can't wait for more!
