Ohana cries when Kou-chan looks at her in kind eyes.

Kou-chan talks a lot, and Onaha stops him to try to confess, but invite him to the festival instead.

I like Kou-chan's yelling after Ohana left. She left without meeting her mother.

Turns out Minchi and the guy she likes is fond of the same manga... and it's by the ero writer!! lol~

Enishi prefers to continue Kissuisou, and because with the help from Ohana's mother's report on positive thing on it, more guest coming, but Gr.ma still refuses to continue because she doesn't want to force her kids to do what they don't want to do, like the time Ohana's mother went out.

... wow @ special skill by gr.ma at bath scene.

lol @ Ohana saying "old" to gr.ma, and Gr.ma's laughing!!

No one's helping out with the festival, and Ohana volunteered... at the end feels like Ohana won't be able to be back to Kissuisou.

That has got to be one of the fastest bath time by a person that I know of. And Ko shouting out in jubilation at the bus stop was really embarrassing to watch.

The ending this episode really knows how to keep me on the edge of my seat waiting for next Sunday already. It looks like we've got a mutiny on our hands, with Ohana the victim being torn apart by the two factions of the Kissuiso staff on 1 side, and Shijima Sui (aka Last boss) on the other. Wonder how this crisis will play out..
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Liked the episode. I am curious about what the fate of Kissuiso but I hope it will be a good ending.

I hope Tohru won't start falling for Minko now that they have some common interests. I think it is bound to happen, though.

I liked the little talk between Sui and Ohana. Especially the moment where Ohana says that she understands her grandmother even though she doesn't agree. Old Ohana would've thrown a tantrum and done something impulsive but she's really grown over the course of the story and that scene did a great job showing it.

OK, I now have no idea how this series is going to end. I know the teasers are often deliberately misleading but now it sounds like Enishi *isn't* actually cut out to take over or he's going to try and change the inn too much or they need to rebel against the corrupt evil council of inn owners or something something rambling on.

I'm guessing Ohana wants to have her own confession to Ko at the festival. Ko screaming was pretty poignant for me, since I did the same thing (plus running off full blast) when it turned out I had a shot with my then-crush (though let's hope his situation turns out better than mine).

I don't have a problem with Tohru x Minko so much, but the manga scene felt like they were trying to rush their development too much.

this so much. it's kinda like, "oh hey the show's about to end make tohru disregard his feelings towards ohana & lump him together w/ minko so everyone gets to have a happy ending!"

sigh, will enishi ever redeem himself from being the useless guy of the show?

Words can't express my feelings during the bath scene....It seems like every scene Okami-san is in is epic...I thought the slap scene was humorous, but this, this is just Lmfao. I never knew she would have the power to take a 8second bath and clean up the bathroom at the same time..

Anyways, good episode..Hoping everything ends well.

I agree. That bit felt tacked on and stupid. Doubly so when it turned out Jiromaru was the one who wrote it, though I did find Minchi's and Tohru's reaction to that revelation somewhat amusing.

XD that bath scene was like Terminator taking a bath yo!

Disliked the scene of Tohru Minko, all of a sudden she's comfortable enough to sit next to him? O-o very rushed!

Poor Ohana towards the end. ;__; having that door close on her face all shocked like that was plain sad!

I understand ----what's his name sounds like 'anything' xD I understand his point of view, wanting to save Kissuiso but he's going 'round it the wrong way. ;__;

All the best to the next two episodes. :( It's almost over -waaaahhh-

That bath scene was by far my favorite part in the entire series thus far. You could clearly see how intimidating the Madame Manager is, yet the expressions of fear from Ohana, Minko, and Nako were hilarious.

I'm kind of hoping that the inn will still close. I personally would love it if the characters were to go off onto their own paths no matter how ideal staying together would be.

Once again this series has trolled me out of a climax ending for Ohana and Ko, now I'm waiting for anti climax in #26!

The whole Sui closing down the Inn, was very reasonable. Her son isn't up to the task and the Inn would crash and burn with all the employees inside. This is pretty much the son last effort to show Sui that he indeed able to inherit the Inn with no troubles.

Tohru scene w/ Minko didn't show any romantic feelings from his side, but he did try to make her feel better (he knows she likes him) and the perverted author writing that magna was biggest coincidence in the whole series, but hey, its minor comedy effect.

The funniest moment, would be Sui coming into the bath with similar feeling from the movie "Jaws".

Ko finally got himself a sexy mother-in-law by hooking up with Ohana.

Kouichi screaming like he meant "YEAH, PROGRESS!" =P

The landlady sure is stubborn. Let's hope they will be able to convince her. The bath scene was pretty weird but pretty epic at the same time. "Maybe it's just hard to understand old people" from Ohana was so rude yet so funny. I think that was even the first time we've seen the landlady laugh out loud.

That last scene was so tense. Ohana was really torn between the two camps not knowing what to do. When those doors closed it really felt like she was being kicked out or something.

She didn't understand what going on with the rest of the employees, she just came back with Sui, after hearing her reasons, they didn't.

I loved the Ohana and Ko scene, they are both so cute, and Ko is still a cute character to me. Especially when he was so happy he had to scream. I DID hope Ohana would confess then and there, but I think that Ko knows now how she feels.

As for the Kissuiso, I still see it closing down, but I really don't know. I understand what she means though when she wants to close it, and maybe she wants to do it as she is getting older. But just by the way Enishi was about to fuss with the council it kind of shows into why his mother doesn't think he is fit to run the Inn. Not to mention his big mess up that cost them so much money.

As long as Ko and Ohana are together I will love this series ahur hur hur~!

Okay, I just came to say the bath scene was like the most epic/hilarious bath scene I have ever seen. Just woah. I used to think Okami-sama was annoying but recently I realized she has subtly become one of my favorite characters.

I somewhat like Minko x Tohru, but I still didn't like those part in this ep, since they felt so... forced.

Looking forward to watching this once promising series end. It will be placed in my irrelevant/forgotten anime folder. Why? Well, to have me sneering, while we approach the end, is the kiss of death...I can't cheer anymore...just can't.
Ohana-bipolar-chan clipping Ko-kun of his manhood while being a c-tease and nothing comes of it, is just too much...and what's worse is Ko-kun settles for whatever she chooses to toss his way...hell, pretty much all the men in this series are denied their manhood...from Grandma all the way down.
What looked like it was gonna be resolved, might still be at the Boom-Boom festival, behind some dark shed...Yosuga no Sora style too...and while I am critical of stupid and still immature Ohana...sour Minchi had her chance too. Hell, she is the bomb waiting to explode with passion...but cute T-kun is too stupid to notice her breasts swelling every time he comes into her lust radar...she had her chance to jump him though, when they were both down behind the sink and alone, picking up that broken dish...she had her chance when he took her hand in his...a smart woman would have known exactly what seducing measures to take then and there.

I still don't feel the chemistry between Ko and Ohana. They might have feelings for each other but they don't seem real to me. At least from Ohana's side. Well, let's hope the creators end the series in a good way.

As for Tohru and Minko, I also don't feel any romantic feelings from Tohru. He does care for her as an apprentice but nothing more. Well, things might change in the last two episodes, which will feel too forced if something developed between them.

Like Arachnicus responded, both Ko and Ohana character compliment each other and maybe you should re-watch their moments together in episode 1. Sadly we don't know their backstory further, but would it enlighten the viewers? Yes, but would outweigh the suspences? Yes, because we know its going to happen, if theres any more back-story into Ko.

As for Tohru and Minko, I also don't feel any romantic feelings from Tohru. He does care for her as an apprentice but nothing more. Well, things might change in the last two episodes, which will feel too forced if something developed between them.
I agree, he does care for her as a fellow employee, but he does take into consideration that she likes him.

Late on this but amazing episode as usual. Definitely picking up nicely. One of the things that surprised straight from the start is Ohana being so surprised here of Kou seeing her that she was about tot run away? “Oh damn girl you being chicken again?” That was my initial response but as she stopped they meet up here, although here, Ohana still had her guard a little. While I loved her first blush face of the episode. As soon as Ohana was crying, I felt it too but strangely not in a bad way. Very pleased they took the place in the first episode in the spoiler
that because that spot is an important one and Ohana was being funny her with the soup. While I loved her giving out another nice blushed face. While I find it again a little sad that Ohana is still tearing up in the spoiler
that time looks longer as she keeps on going till the ferry like gets spinning and so I really found the following,

to be an amazing Ohana gesture. It symbolizes "I had enough! Let me talk!" that itself is affirmation. Hope they will do something amazing for the Festival between Kou and Ohana. Loved that Kou smile and the fact it was towards getting that invite for the festival. What really stood out during that part is Ohana having a double dual stream of tears flow out and Kou taking her hand so romantically! Kyaaaaaaaaa in the spoiler
yeah I got a little bit sissy there but Kou x Ohana progress is amazing there.
While I loved this scenery since it has a nice view, Kou screaming here was ROFL.

The other thing was Minko x Tooru in the following,

Kyaaaaaaaa again! Look how cute they look as a couple. Really cute! Best pose! How he was tending to her and worried about her in the spoiler
Tooru touched Minko’s hand! OMG amazing that part was. Being a shipper of both, happiest episode in regards to that. While I did find Minko not good looking when she was shocked here but she quickly pepped me up with her finger pointing in response to the quote of Tooru from a manga. The manga itself was not bad looking, it looked hilarious but of all things the novelist wrote that? OH WTF big surprise it was there but also a laugh in response to the spoiler
the expressions there are priceless.

About the bath part/fan service notions, well here we go again. This time the bath time got extended. The thing most amazing is the GIF of Nako in the spoiler
due to the way it was presented, it showed rather well the roundness of her breasts.
I could say that it showed it the best. Forget about the other moments this is flesh. Well TBH they are really big. I would have to say as big Eris from Asobi ni Iku yo! Maybe a little smaller. Other things would be a rather clever water censoring and a foreign object blocking? Checked out the Bds, I don’t think other than little changes and asses to be uncensored. They really will up scenes and stuff but not ecchi. Forget it. It’s a lost cause for this series but also a fail to make it natural. There are some parts that are but not all in regards to bath parts. Still it was nice to see all the group and to see them being surprised at Sui’s entrance. Nako’s expression of being frustrated was quite hilarious and Ohana looked splendid here.

I laughed quite some time just from Sui’s expression here. The best was the scene in the spoiler
the looks of Sui and response of the group not to mention thank God for Nako’s head. Last time in Sacred Blacksmith they freaking uncensored some old granny’s breasts in the Bds and OMG my eyes screw this! Thank you also for the fogged glass here. While Nako looked good here by being censored but anyway I certainly think that is impossible. No way! Loved the rest of the group poses in the spoiler
they were nice. I don’t think it will change in the Bds.

Other points:
  • Lovely graveyard visit in the spoiler
    particularly because it ended up in Ohana making Sui laugh? Amazing that was really.

  • The team revolt in the spoiler
    was nasty after that collapse Sui had and good thing Ohana went to help out. However not sure it will solve all the problems.

  • Loved seeing Satsuki and the fact she did her job in the magazine for Kissuiso in the spoiler
    now that was wow fantastic! Satsuki also has an amazing smile towards Enishi’s determination! :D
About the preview, looks like Ohana is having trouble sleeping over the fact of all the chaos and take over of Enishi most likely. What caught my attention in in the spoiler
Nako x Ohana trolling?

BTW Image Stitches in the spoiler
scenery wise, they gorgeous of the city itself. Well done.
