First off, you may have noticed that I’ve been revamping my blog with a new layout. I am extremely satisfied with it, and I intend to have this layout become possibly permanent. I’ve also added some new pages, so check them out if you like!
Well, onto episode 8 of Hanasaku Iroha! In this episode, the plot is starting to really ramp up, with large groups of customers coming into Kissuiso. The manager has also succumbed and forced to go to the hospital at this critical moment. On top of that, Ko-chan is coming to see Ohana, who still does not know about his impeding visit. Of course, this episode was not without some minor comedic relief…
Riiiiight. Keep dreaming...
In order to combat against the dire situation, the young master foolishly calls in Takako-san to help them (oh no!). Takako-san, with a glint in her eye, affirms that there must be some magazine reporters who are in disguise amongst the guests. After all, why would there be so many customers at this time when there usually are so few customers? Takako-san sends Jiroumaru-san to scout out the guests…
Are you sure you got the wrong room, hmm? *Raises eyebrow*
After scouting out the prospective guests, Takako-san tells Ren-san to cook his best for the most likely guests, much to his dismay…
Nya?
And then there’s Ohana, who steps in and takes charge in accordance with her grandmother’s wishes. Ohana believes that all the customers should be treated equally, and she recruits Nako, who had the day off, to help. Next, she races all the way to the city to retrieve Tohru-san, who is attending a wedding in the city. The episode then cuts off with Ohana peeking into a ballroom, searching for Tohru-san. Next episode, we shall see what happens in Kissuiso, but I’m really dying to see Ohana and Ko-chan’s meeting. Ah well, we’ll have to wait, so here’s a nice wallpaper!
