After Ohana’s big success from the last episode of dealing with the flood of customers, she has become too dedicated that it eventually caused major fatigue. This leads us to one of the strangest sick episodes I have seen so far.
After watching this episode, it felt a bit strange compared to the earlier episodes as Ohana is mostly dreaming. There is a bit of comedy from Jiroumaru when he attempts to sexualize Ohana’s grandmother for his story, but that was trivial. The part that caught my attention is Tooru himself while he blushes at Ohana eating his rice porridge and saying it’s delicious. To take it a step further, he feels her forehead and enjoys the sight of her holding the strawberry near the mouth rather than checking the actual temperature. From the looks of it, it seems that his romantic interests for Ohana isn’t letting up and with Minko is starting to notice, it’s definitely not looking good. Besides from that, I’m definitely supporting a Ohana and Tooru ship no matter what anyone says.
During the second half of the episode, I felt that she is starting to experience a degree of homesickness after being away from home for several months. I know that living in a new environment is difficult to get used to, but at the same time, she fears that her feelings for Ko is drifting away. From this, she starts to question her role at the Kissuisou Inn and possibly wanted to return home. On the other hand, she faces another dilemma as she has made many new friends with Nako, Minko and others who genuinely care about her. Her departure would just sadden them and cause a burden on the inn, since the energetic feeling wasn’t there before she arrived. While I didn’t expect her to feel this way while she is sick, it has definitely built some drama as it’s an issue that most people faces, especially college students who live away from home for the first time.
In the end of the episode, it seems that she picked the inn over Ko, which is an indication that he will possibly be Friendzoned forever.
From the looks of the next episode, it seems that things are going to get more dramatic as her worthless mother comes to visit Ohana at the inn after so many months.
