Summer vacation!

Having fun in Mao's yokan and the main girl's grandpa's place. He's famous for fixing the clocks.

What Mao wants to do is the main thing.

This episode sort of reminded me of Hanasaku Iroha (especially Yuina) and Mao was super adorable even during the sponsorship break. XD

Kou don't realize he's might be in a very light love triangle between Komachi and Norie, man they just fight over him everytime they meet.

Pretty sure Norie wishes she had a younger brother as her older brother isn't "cute". Otherwise you're gonna run into 9 yr old pedo stuffz.

Chihiro visits next episode. Looking forward to it.
I am a seiyuu nut. I nerd out pretty hard when it comes to Toyosaki Aki and Hikasa Youko. They seem to be such lovely people.

I'm translating Hikasa's blog which you can find here.

Tradition continues... Norie is irritating as always, this time also with Komachi and by smaller extent Kou.
This is still bad.

What was great was story of Maon
she is sooo cute :)
more more of her - whistling, speaking whatever :D
and here is good part - she is realistic with her thoughts what to do... I loved that part.

next time Chihiro is back! I'm really looking forward to it!

lol same here... it was soo adorable and inspirational when I saw Mao-chan's many dreams and seeing her little flashback in the Virgo kind of reminded me of Yui from k-on b/c that expression on her face XD

Another good ep almost made me cry T.T (I think I might actually cry in the last ep)

Add the Inland Sea to the areas I have to visit when go to Japan. High quality animation and a nice pleasant emotional buzz manage to overcome an overdose of moe and a pretty placid plot. I always feel calm and happy after finishing an episode.
Please don't feed the trolls!

A very Maon centered episode huh? Even the sponsor announcement was whistled by Maon! xD

She looked really good in her waitress outfit with her hair like that! Seeing her as a little girl was cute too. And like some already said; she reminded me of Nako from Hanasaku Iroha as well!

Are you trying to imply your parent have something to do with "Family Guy" and I hope I am reading too much into that.

Indeed her interests don't look very healthy like that hopefully it will change.
I also have to say that her behavior towards Komachi doesn't fit her age she should be the oldest and the wisest of the two.

Maon really cares allot for her parents and her parents for her it seems like a very nice family.
The father seemed very funny when he was acting so shy to the girls not to mention Potte's grandpa.

Such sweet episode. While not my favourite, it lighted up my slightly dampened mood.

Maon is really cute, even though she’s extremely shy, she does her best. Her parents are wonderfully supportive, as well.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Had this on hold since January.
Watch literally a hundred anime since then.
Never could bring myself to pick this back up.
Slice of life is often times the hardest to get through.

This episode was well done 6.5/10

Other gastronomic tour in Japanese beauties! XD
Plot that focuses its attention on Maon, so start to find out more about her and her inclinations! Pleasant.
The narrative retains its peculiarities, which is slow, gentle and deep in thoughts and deeds.
It's very relaxing every time.
Graphically it is beautiful, it retains a certain charm this anime series in the scenarios, although it is not a production PA Works.
Thanks TYO animation!

Like some have said, this remind me of Hanasaku Iroha too. It was nice to learn more about Maon. Her whistling still annoys me, though. I also like these little towns in this show, they feel really peaceful.

The inheritance between Fuu and her granpa is too strong in this ep. So we had a Mao-centered episode, gotta love her whistling and her parents, so supportive whatever her path wants to be. Also gotta love that acoustic version of the OVA OP :D

Norie's obsession with Kou is starting to get a little bit creepy, lol..

On the other hand, MAON IS SO CUTE! I had a feeling she'd by my favorite the first time I heard her whistle (Idk why, I just think it's an adorable quirk), but this episode really solidified that.

And excellent soundtrack as always. I think this whole series is really starting to have the potential to turn into something great. Shame it's so underrated.

Great focus on Maon, I really like her very much. I wish she could do both the inn and music, instead of choosing one. It seems like she cherishes them both.

That closet though :-)

Well.. Maon mentioned earlier of thinking something related to whistling as a possible path.. But also she's quite diligent and eager in work we see her as well.. So maybe she doesn't really mind just inheriting parents' place?.. Well, who knows.. Either way parents are letting her do, what she wanna..

Very touching to see that song in the hall.

By the way, it seems that the brief shot of Maon's feet while she was "protecting" the "secret" of her drawings was an animation mistake - she should be wearing white socks at the time, since the scenes before and after that show her with white socks on.
