Slow Start – Episode 8 – Hana’s First Step in Breaking Her Shyness

February 25, 2018 by Chikorita157 1 Comment
Hana finally interacts with other classmates besides her friends.

Hana have class duty. She soon realizes that she hasn’t talked to most of her classmates.

It seems that Hana have class duty, which explains why she is in a hurry. While she drank a glass of milk, she didn’t eat any breakfast. When she got there, she meets a girl named Takahashi Nanae. She already finished the class duties for the morning. She was just putting down a vase with some sun flowers. Either way, Hana talking to someone else besides her friends is a good first step in overcoming her shyness.

It’s obvious that the classmates find Kamuri adorable.
Eiko to the rescue.

After Hana ate ice cream with Eiko and Tamate, she went into the classroom. This is when girls try to offer her snacks surrounds Kamuri. Eiko eventually comes to comfort Kamuri. Even so, this is not surprising since Kamuri’s adorable looks makes her popular.

One of the classmates gets a bit too close with Eiko.

With that, Tamate introduces other classmates to Hana. This includes Maho, Amane, Hina, Ao, Yuuri, Kei and Sachi. It’s quite amazing how Hana is able to interact with other classmates. Of course, Sachi gets a bit too close to Eiko before she grabs Tama and ran out of the classroom.  That shows the power of Eiko’s female harem.

Either way, it’s nice to see Hana write it in her log and show it to Kiyose. Kiyose tells Hana not to force herself and do it at her own pace. Still, it’s nice to see Hana interact with Nanae more as seen with she saw her watering a garden the next morning.  Nanae tells her that the mini sunflowers will bloom soon and she plans on inviting Hana. Hana accepts the invitation. This shows that Hana is making progress to become more open.

The next day, while Hana walked with her friends, Tama wants to go to the beach this summer. Eiko apparently needs a new swimsuit, which can mean only one thing. The girls plan to buy new swimsuits. It’s not surprising since Hana doesn’t even have one and Tama wore hers out. Her middle school doesn’t have a pool and she never went to the beach.

As for what happened in the swimsuit shop, let the pictures tell the story.

Eiko will probably look good in anything.
Hana makes a pretty cute swimsuit choice. Of course, she was a bit shy to show her choice at first.
Tama makes an interesting choice.

Sadly, Kamuri didn’t show her’s since she already bought it. I guess we’ll find out next time.

Either way, the girls plan on sleeping over at Hana’s apartment before heading to the beach on the next school break. This can mean one thing, right? Beach episode? Still, it’s funny to see Hana flap her arms like a penguin.

Hiroe enjoys the nostalgia of eating home-made lunches.

Aside from that, it seems that Hana forgot her lunch. Shion decides to give it to Hiroe. Hiroe instead decides to trade her sushi lunch with Shion’s home made lunch. I guess Hiroe wants to experience the nostalgia of eating homemade lunch when she was in high school.
