I'll admit. Very early on I got a sneaking suspicion that Ko was a rather flat character, and that things weren't going to be done to change this.

Mind you, back then I was working under the assumption that the writing in Hanasaku Iroha was much tighter than it turned out to be, and that this off distant stuff with Ko was working up to some message about being willing to move on with your life. So it seemed unlikely that they'd just toss Ohana and Ko back together without significant build up.


I was wrong only in that I overestimated writing quality

Because you think it's now sure they're going to end up together?
If that's the case you're underestimating Okada's troll abilities

Wtf, where did Ko come from.

Straight from Satsuki's place, which is where Ohana was heading. Didn't you watch the rest of the episode?

[blakstealth]

Sorry, was too busy looking at Satsuki.

Well, a pretty good episode, not great.
Really too bad Satsuki is so destructive towards herself, drinking, smoking etc.
She could be so much more as she is very bright and extremly beautiful.
