Konohana Kitan – Episode 1 – Yuzu’s Exciting First Day at Work

As expected, Yuzu is too adorable.

In the beginning, Bikuni takes Yuzu to a hot spring hotel named the Konohanatei. This is where Yuzu, a fox girl plans to work at. As expected, the wolf landlady, Ookami definitely scared Yuzu. Despite this, she decides to hire her.

Before Yuzu starts to work, Kiri drags Natsume to wash Yuzu. Yep, it’s obvious that Natsume had a field day washing her body. After Yuzu cleaned up, Ren dresses her. While Ren is elegant, in reality, her pretty looks does not necessarily equate to kindness.

With that, Satsuki gives Yuzu her first task, which is cleaning the floors. Given how she treats Yuzu, it’s not surprising to see her feisty personality. It’s not surprising given that Yuzu have a cheerful and hyper personality.  She scolds Yuzu on everything ranging from not moving out of the way to polishing the floor too much. As a result, the guest fell on top of Yuzu. Of course, Satsuki scolds Yuzu saying that everyone is responsible for anything done if someone does something wrong.

In the end, Satsuki and Yuzu apologizes to the guest. Surprisingly, he gives them some medicine. Afterwards, he asks Yuzu to catch some stars, and she accepts. While it seems funny and cute, Satsuki felt annoyed by it. In the end, Yuzu eventually got it. Despite Yuzu’s antics annoying Satsuki, the guest seemed to enjoyed it and offers them konpieto.

I have to admit that Satsuki should give Yuzu some slack since she just started working at the hotel. Thankfully, she started to loosen up after spending time with her in the hot springs. It’s also surprising that they are the same age given that Yuzu looks like a child. Still, it’s nice that Satsuki wiped Yuzu’s tears while she was sleeping. It seems that Yuzu already experiencing some homesickness since she already misses Bikuni.

In the second half, Yuzu receives a break from Satsuki after becoming overworked. In short, she spends the test of the time following Sakura. As one would expect, Sakura is adorable despite being shy. They eventually went to a field with cherry blossom trees. It’s nice that Sakura made a flower necklace for Yuzu.

Overall, it’s a nice first episode. Sure, Yuzu had a rough start on her first few days of work. She will eventually become used to it through training. Hopefully, we will see Satsuki loosen up as she works with her and of course, the potential pairings. ¶
