Overall, very standard episode with no real surprises (in fact, the ending was known within the first 4 or so minutes). But, solid character development for Minko and Ohana elevates this to an above-average episode
p.s. Yuina = Great.

Pretty much this, and i gave the episode the same rating as you.

Anyhow, I'm still quite frankly disappointed with the direction of this series. This episode pretty much seals the deal for now that the show isn't what I thought it was from episode 1 and 2 (A more True Tears style), as the episodes of the other type now outnumber those two.
I presume we'll be returning to that tone sometime in the future for the more dramatic moments, but it's still disappointing nonetheless. Ultimately this show will be more successful for it, but I can't help but think we missed out on something that could've been truly wonderful.
Right now, the series has devolved into a relatively standard good quality, porn scenery slice of life dramedy. But that's just it, I didn't want standard good, and I had higher expectations for this.
Honestly, since True Tears, PA works has just not met their true potential. I have high hopes for this studio, so that's why I'm being so overly critical of them.
But oh well, I guess I'll finally settle for something a bit less than what I wanted now.
