Ep 19: Sloppy Omelet Rice
The 20th Koruin Festival is approaching and Ohanas’ class is doing a Princess Café. Yuina has been voted leader of the service team while Minko is the leader for the cooking team.
Ep 20: Love. Kourin Festival
Minko, after getting into a fight with her classmates about the menu for the classroom cafe, leaves the Kissuiso early in the morning in order to buy ingredients and prepare. Ohana, worried for her, decides to visit the classroom earlier than the scheduled time to help, but Minko angrily declines. On the other hand, Nako is preparing for her class's booth with Mizuno...
Ep 21: Rebirth of "Die"
The staff at the Kissuiso hear of the sudden news about Enishi and Takako's marriage. Despite the fact that he lacks money to even hold a wedding ceremony, Enishi is determined to liven up the inn once more with his fiancee; however, Sui insists that they have a ceremony in order to uphold his reputation as the successor of the inn. Enishi stresses over the wedding costs, and Ohana and the rest of the crew seem to be out of ideas... but just then, a short phrase out of Beanman brings about the idea to have the ceremony at Kissuiso, with everyone helping out! Ohana is excited to make it a success, but Tohru, who was put in charge of the meals, is also enthusiastic.
Ep 22: A Determined One-Sided Crush
Ohana, Nako, and Yuina begin handcrafting a wedding dress. Tohru, who was put in charge of party dishes for the first time by Renji, works toward creating the menu. Jiromaru begins to prepare for his original skit. Just like that, everyone works to prepare for Enishi and Takako's wedding. Ohana, now despised by Minko after a certain event, tries hard to make amends but to no avail. Being out of ideas, Ohana wonders what to do... she eventually makes a decision after hearing what her Mother had to say over the phone.
Ep 23: Compensation for the Dream
Takako takes a trip to Tokyo to find the producer who ripped off the Inn. At the same time Madam Manager insist Ohana goes to speak with mother to decide her future after the Kissuiso closing.
Ep 24: Sui Shijima, The Final Boss
Changes are coming to the Kissuiso, and everyone is making plans. The Madam Manager takes Ohana away to her Grandfather’s grave, while Tohru and Minko learn of a disturbing secret.

Some points:
- I can't stand Takako even though she's supposed to change and all that!
- Ohana went to Tokyo to meet her mother instead she met someone else.
- I think Tohru may start to notice Minko. They have lots in common :)
- Ohana went with her grandmother to visit her grandfather's grave and she understood her grandmother's reason for changes. Well, she didn't exactly agree but she accepted her decision! That means Ohana has matured a bit.

Bottom line, I really like this series.

Episode 25: The Kissuiso I Love
All of the shrines and lakes in the Yunosagi area were being prepared for the Bonbori Festival. When Ohana returns to the Kissuiso, she finds all of the staff running about and trying to handle all of the customers. Ohana feels like there's something odd about the picture as she watches everyone except for Denroku and Sui bond and work towards livening up the inn.
Episode 26: The Kissuiso I love
Ohana expresses herself, Enishi makes a final decision, and the Madam Manger surprises everyone. Everybody is festing it up.

Some points:
- What a nice series.
- I like the open-ending with lots of hope.
- Dare I hope for a second season?

Bottom line, will rewatch. Recommended? Yes.
