Lulexiaa said: Can't agree with you. Kou did way more shit to cheer up Ohana than Tooru did. Tooru looks to me like he cares about Ohana but next episode could get steamy that's for sure between them. Minko should be with Tooru because she is like the girl who cannot live without him and that's a powerful attachment IMO. I AM SOO SORRY KO, BUT I AM SOOOOOO SHIPPING OHANA AND TOHRU NOW!!!! THEY R SO CUTE, AND DID YOU SEE THAT PREVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!! *O* |

| Kou should've stayed. If he checked, he'd realize there's another inn nearby. But then, again with someone as beautiful as that at his workplace...LOL. Oh well, so much for the drama that was supposed to happen, but didn't. Provided she knew Tohru's full name and he was on the guest list, it shouldn't have been that difficult for Ohana to find him. Well, if that's what it takes to get Ohana to fly through some shrubbery then fine. And thank goodness the mystery guest turned out to be someone else. Imagine if that annoying "consultant" or Jiro spent all weekend pestering that woman's mother? Oh, I love Nako's death stare. Preview looks interesting. Ohana's turn to get sick and more stuff with Tohru... |

| Nice ep.. Feel kind of sad, that Ko-chan was able to meet Ohana.... Next ep , Ohana is sick .. And Tohru is so close to her..=.= |
| I knew it! they wasn't able to meet! :'( well, everything is settle down now Tohru, what are you doing? You have minko! Ohana is kou's, well, I don't know anymore, who is that beauty? :S |
| 4/5 |
Zergneedsfood said: The part where Ko and Ohana are at opposite ends was so 5 centimeters-esque. funny that i also had that feeling, just like in 5 centimenters movie XD Also, they definitely managed to break the cliché scene we were all expecting. Kou did the most dumb thing ever and went back home after traveling so many hours. I wasn't expecting that. it was very...illogical? Im starting to think he lost his chance with Ohana;_; 1- he works with a megane sexy girl, who will definitely try to seduce him XP 2- Tooru is really getting very close to Ohana. Judging by next episode preview, it will be Ko telling Ohana " Come home" (If he is saying that i presume he had that part time job so he will be able to pay for her to live in Tokyo again...Damn, Ko, you´re just so cute and kind *cries*) and well, another HUGE Tooru x Ohana moment in next ep Damn im so divided. I love Ko so much, but i also love Tooru soooo much. *cries* |

| Aww... Kou didn't meet Ohana after all... Rooting for Tohru x Ohana now :3 An interesting preview. Can't wait for episode 10 |

| The welcome back scene made this episode, so sweet. Kou needs to meet Ohana soon. |
 |
| This series is winning me back over. I hear episode 10 is supposed to be incredible, too. And Ko bores me. He's cute, but boring. So I'm all for Ohana/Tohru. |
This is a special section on Tooru x Ohana points and Minko x Tooru points. Because I feel like doing it as point format. Ohana x Tooru Minko x Tooru people will be pissed because Ohana far out beats Minko in points towards Tooru and the next episode only makes her soar higher in those
Minko x Tooru
About what worries me, like some people have said Kou has a major problem in the spoiler shit is going to hit the fan badly. I don't know how serious they can do it but Dog Days got in my face with their changes so who knows who it will change in this series but if they were able to put ecchi, they can certainly put in serious romance. About preview, well I guess Ohana gets sick and my best guess is the motorcycle ride gave her a chill since her clothing was awfully light. My hear will jump out in fear of another point towards Ohana x Tooru when Tooru puts his head towards Ohana's head. Here's the worrisome point, Tooru might look so much into Ohana's lips that another Ohana feature shall be a temptation for him. Rather powerful when you think how Kinji reacted to Shirayuki's lips in the most recent episode of Hidan no Aria. Right? |

We have cookies. xD I was always more Tooru x Ohana than Ko x Ohana since the second ep;D *joins officially the Tooru x Ohana side* Yayyyy, i love cookies XD zimno said: Orulyon said: NoooooooooooO!!!!!!!!!! Touru forget that Ohana is under 18In Japan, girls can marry at 16 with parental consent, lol, so Ohana is on the age where, if Tooru wants to date her he will not be considered a pedophile XP besides he is not that much older, and older guys have a special charm. Droplet said: And Ko bores me. He's cute, but boring. So I'm all for Ohana/Tohru. Ko brokes my heart and i think he is cute. But damn, since the second ep im shipping Tooru x Ohana, even when no one believed in them, so damn, Ill stay Tooru/Ohana, because i go "kyahhhh" with their scenes XD *im so sorry Ko, i love you, forgive me* Sorry Minchi, it seems Tooru is really into Ohana XD omg, cant wait for next ep~~~~that preview is so ...intense! |
ワンダーランド花 ♥ |
| xDD I started shipping TooruxOhana since the first ep. Well, not really shipping...more like it just caught my eye. xD And then I officially started shipping them in episode 2. xDD Even when people were so against it. I'm happy to see that more and more people are getting on the TooruxOhana side as more episodes come. xD |
Droplet said: This series is winning me back over. I hear episode 10 is supposed to be incredible, too. And Ko bores me. He's cute, but boring. So I'm all for Ohana/Tohru. +1. Ko's nice but at the same time so dumb. He should looked for another inn, GOD! -.- Can't wait for another Ohana/Tohru scenes. ~(o^∀^)o |

| Maybe Okami will congratulate Ohana for supporting everyone. Ko is going to get another girl. It's so obvious. Poor Ohana. I don't even know I want to pair up. The people are Ko, Ohana, Tohru, and Minchi. I'm probably for Tohru and Ohana. Ohana gets a fever |

| Waaaaa I want more OhanaXTohru >/////< I want them to be together from very beginning ; D I thought I die with this episode and ep 10 is going to be more better ; ) And somehow I don't like Ko ; [ he's such a pussy goshhhh |
Loved that Minko x Tohru moment there. :> Also, I forgot that during the whole episode that Manager wasn't in the inn. |
| "If you feed me, Seymour, I can grow up big and strong!" |
| Minko cooks , and Ko fails. I look forward to shocking developments when Ko actually sees Ohana again. |
| Why, why would you go back after spending all that time getting there, Ko? = n = I was fairly disappointed that they didn't meet, and that other lady at Ko's workplace. Hrmmm. Makes you wonder. Tohru looked spiffy in a suit though and that MinkoxTohru moment was definitely adorable. xD Ohana's expression as she witnessed it was just genius. Next episode looks interesting but it also looks like it'll have a lot of fanservice? What was up with the strawberry by Ohana's mouth. |
 |
| Fairly good ep, partly thnx to the betrayal of fans' expectations about some cheesy and cliche shoujo-crap dorama lyk "Ko caught Ohana coming back with Tohru" and all that jazz. Frankly, it'd be too boring if that were to happen so I'm glad it didn't, even if in some way they did meet each other in a typically dramatic way. As for Tohru, with the appearance of that 4-eyes gal, seems like he now has better chance with Ohana if the producers wanna 5cm/s style. However, there's the 3rd wheel called Minko, combined with the show's light-hearted tone thus far so I still doubt about such outcome. Let's see if the next ep's preview will be able to ease my doubts or not ~ Other than that, I hope that after the following ep, they will focus on some other slice-of-life aspect rather than the pairing up process because it certainly wasn't what the premise was hinting, even if romance is always a hot topic amongst rabid fans... |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| Poor Koichi not being able to see his beloved even tho he came all the way there. I have to say tho that it's partly his own fault for giving up near the end if you going to do something and you made it that far then go all they way then you wont regret it latter. I wonder if he will try again. Tohru being surprised at Ohana coming all the way there was nice to see and it was amazing how fast they kitchen got fully operational again. Seems like he is the one that makes it run after all. The mystery guest was was given away near the end or at least almost given away by her own mother and it's funny to see that it wasn't the ones the writher and the manager where thinking. It where a daughter who took her mother to a inn for some relaxation and to make a judgment on that inn. |
| kou didn't meet ohana.. wow... but he did cheer up her. i wish if he had shown his face at kissuisu. kou deserve ohana. |
 |
| Totally feeling the 5 cm/s vibe as someone mentioned before. |
| I feel kinda sad about Ko he went through all the trouble of going there and didn't get the chance to meet Ohana, well maybe it wasn't meant to be...for now Tohru surely has something going on for Ohana i mean look at the preview!! |
 |
| Oh my, I'm split between Ko/Ohana or Tohru/Ohana, but at the same time I would feel bad for Minko if it became Tohru/Ohana. And waahhh, that preview! TwT |
tsubasalover said: Ohana asking Kou-chan for help~~ and realizing when they are oppositely different places. Then going back without meeting Ohana... sigh. Yeah, totally anti-climatic :/ |
| TOHRU U BASTARD! |
 |
| PREVIEW DSLKFJSAFASFE TOHRU/OHANA hnngghh. o////o although i do like ko a lot too & i feel sorry for him ffff.

Pepelina said: Well no, I did mention she could be a future problem but at this stage it really revolves around Tooru and 2 girls. Ohana should be smart enough to reject Tooru after how Kou helped her this episode. You cannot also deny the store clerk had a rather flushed face. Whether it's natural or something else is really hard to judge as of her intro in this episode.After reading some of the comments, I began to feel as if I am watching a completely different show. I don't know, some people make it seem as if the show is this gruesome tale where nobody knows who will be the next victim. A new girl appears for a moment? Bloody hell, trouble ahead - she's probably raping that Ko kid. Pepelina said: Drama actually is good in this show. It does a nice job for the spice. However Minko does have enough anger to be able to do just that but she ain't stupid enough to kill Ohana, well I have not seen any clue as to that.Tooru gave Ohana a ride? Be careful, girl, Minko will kill you in your sleep! And let's not forget to spice things up with drama! |
| best episode so far 5/5 |
 |
| Kou obviously worked part time jobs so he could save up to meet Ohana. He totally deserves Ohana ): I freakin' freaked out when they didn't freakin' meet at all... not even a freakin' small glimpse... D: And now this megane girl seems to have an interest in Ko. DX And also the freakin' preview... I'm in despair oh God please nuuuuu щ(ﾟДﾟщ) -ends rant- |
| And I thought something cliche will be delivered XD~ thanks Yup. TooruXOhana beats KoXOhana. Ko is damn cute yes ( I do want to fiddle with his hair real bad! It looks so soft XD) but like Tooru way way more [he is so darn sexy!] plus him acting nonchalant in front of his crush made me like his character more <3 Was expecting hectic situation in the inn but it was more about shipping couples. For some reason I like the writer. He is weirdly funny. |
 |
| FUCK! I wanted Ko to stay there and see a sleeping Ohana in Tohru's arms. Glad to see that Mamiko Noto got everyone through the day though, not a surprise though. |

Ah I hope Kou doesn't give up.. he's too good of a character to be left out imoo ~ |
| This is Kou alliance. Kou all they way to end~ |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| I don't really see Minko as "The girl who cannot live without him (Tooru)". The way I see it so far, its like she's infatuated with him/respects him. Take this into account: Her parents weren't supportive of her wanting to become a chef, Ren-san and Okami-san didn´t want to give her a job, etc, etc. She felt like crap was coming down on her. And then Tooru comes and speaks up for her, he practically BEGS them to give her a job and starts teaching her himself. IMO it just really feels like she looks up to him, you know, sort of like she feels he came to her rescue. She's probably being a bit depedant but I'm sure sooner or later she'll come to mature and realize that she´s strong on her own. I dunno though. I'm not flaming on TooruxMinko fans. I'm just stating my opinion. |
| what... the hell. i thought this episode was so terrible. ohana, who i normally adore, was annoying. and instead of being taught that she needs to take a breather and stop acting without thinking, she is encouraged and congratulated for her behavior. i don't understand why she can't just calm down. she was so rude and inconsiderate, barging around noisily the way she did, lmfao wow w0w. and i am still tilting my head forever at ren suddenly not being able to FUNCTION as a CHEF because of """pressure""" oh PLEASE. you can't just completely rewire a character to suit the need for drama. that's bad writing. and tohru/ohana is such a bad pairing i don't even. this is honestly the first episode i've really hated oh boy. how sad, because i have been immensely enjoying this show so far. however. the good: i still love ko, even if other people are starting to find him boring. he has this charming, melancholic look about him that i just can't get over. cute. nako is precious. and despite being one half of the worst ship of the show, tohru is probably my favorite character. hopefully there will be maybe just a smidgen of yuina soon?!?! i like her. and hopefully next week will bring a better episode. |
