This episode brings some light on Ohana’s uncle as he brings in an outside consultant to inspire some innobetion in marketing at the inn (I should have a review of Moshidora up soon). This consists of making the waiting staff dress up in revealing outfits. When their china dresses do not go over well with the young family visiting the inn, Ohana tries to convince her grandmother that the reason is because the slits weren’t long enough. Fortunately, the manager understands what the customers want better than Ohana.

The development of Ohana’s uncle was good— I was wondering what he did at the inn, and kind of felt bad for him for staying there at his age. At least he still has dreams for improvement. His friend from college was annoying, but fortunately she didn’t stick around for long. We also see that the grandmother had similar ideas for improvements when she was young. I’m guessing they won’t really get into the relationship between the grandmother and Ohana’s mother until the second half, but when they do we should be in for a treat.

We have switched though from the excellent drama in the first few episodes into cute girls acting cute / fanservice mode. Not to say the creators aren’t doing well at having cute girls acting cute: the show is doing an excellent job at this. But I personally prefer the drama. I’m guessing they’ll probably get back to it eventually.
