Definitely better than last week's episode
I like how Tohru basically trolled Ohana the entire episode even when he's not there. Ohana is this strong-willed and headstrong character, yet a single remark from Tohru can bother her to this extent. Hilarious I personally think Tohru isn't looking for romance. He just gives me the impression his current priority is mastering his craft. I don't even think he sees the girls around her as potential love interest given how he treats them like kids (well at least for Ohana). So not even gonna believe he's going out with Yuina, unless the next episode proves me otherwise. Preview: The head chef mentions he's not coming to work aw hell no. I hope he doesn't switch Inns

I think the series is just as touching even after the change of atmosphere , which from my standpoint was minimal -with expection of episode 3 of course-, episode 4 had the same feel as the other episodes. The scene at the shrine is a good example.

Or to put it differently..... It is because of Ohana being the main character that I never expected this to be that serious to begin with.

Oh dear, working for a hot springs inn seems to be more hazardous than I thought; Ohana has been abducted, forced into bondage, enjoyed verbal abuse, physical abuse, as well as strangulation, and her trainee period isn't even over yet!
If it turns out that Minko started working because of Tooru, then she is most definitely my most disliked character in this entire story so far (slot currently occupied by Tarou). Seriously, we're supposed to excuse her behaviour because she's cute? I don't think that Ohana is in love with Kou, I think that she likes him a lot, but as a friend, and that she'll maybe decide to date him because people in their situation are supposed to become a couple or something (or because she thinks it sounds like a good idea). I think that's when her obliviousness/inability to read the atmosphere blows up in her face big time, because she actually cares about hurting Kou more than she cares about people she barely knows. I also have a suspicion that Tooru might develop a small crush on Ohana. Though I don't know if he would act on it. |

Now that she knows Minko likes him she wont flirt with him. Sisters before gigolos. Though Ohana would start wondering "What the hell do they see in that guy?". When Ohana said "Die" to him Touru did get distracted driving. Which immediately resulted to almost an accident and Ohana realizing she shouldn't say such. For now Ohana is just absolutely Tsun for Touru because she just finds him annoying with pushing her buttons. No Dere to speak of. |

When I started this series I thought it was going to be about Ohana's search for herself, and how that conflicted with her sincere love for Ko and yes, even her mother. I thought it was going to be about her adjustment to life in a small resort town, and the impact she would have on the people there. I thought it would be about how she, her mother and grandmother would all come to understand each other through Ohana's interaction with Grandma. I saw nothing in episode 4 that made me think otherwise. Ohana's interactions with her HS colleagues are being treated as some sort of sign of the apocalypse, but her school life is part of life. This series is about her whole experience and I have no issues with her school struggles being a part of the depiction of that. We have two cours to work with here. It's too early to make final decisions about everything that's going to happen. That's plenty of time to tell a complete, balanced story that has many different facets. I don't consider that a negative - I think it's great.
