sola – Episode 3 Thoughts and Impressions

Oh noes! Her cover is blown...

It’s a secret!”

Not much happening in this episode except Yorito acting strangely, trying to hide Matsuri away from everyone, especially his older sister. Mana knows that he was acting strangely, so she gets off work early to check on him.

Meanwhile, Matsuri buy a pile of ramen noodles that doesn’t even taste that good. Then, the door bell rings and he hides Matsuri. He opens the door and Mana was there with some groceries that she will use to cook him dinner. Yorito tries to persuade her to leave by lying that he ate already, but it was given away by his growling stomach.

While Mana was cooking, she finds out that the soy sauce and spices were gone, thanks to Matsuri clumsiness and pouring it all over the place, Mana makes Yorito buy some, although Yorito tried to persuade her that soy sauce and spices aren’t needed. While he was away, Mana search all over the top floor to see what he was hiding and when she got down stairs, she sees Matsuri eating something at the kitchen table. They start talking about themselves until Yorito got back. He tries to cover it up saying at Matsuri is finding an apartment, which is why she is staying. After they ate, the find out that Matsuri was missing, except she came back with all her belongings (in a big sack, lol).

This is a pretty fun episode… You thought you can hide Matsuri forever, can you… but it was going to be blown anyways… As you can tell with the empty spice and soy sauce bottles that Matsuri is a complete dojikko… with the reason why the microwave is completely broken. Another thing I noticed after watching so much anime with Noto Mamiko is that Matsuri sounds similar to Haruka and Lilicia with some subtle differences… although Kotomi’s voice was slightly different from the latter part.

Next, I’m going to look at the Sola specials, WITH FANSERVICE! (although the main story line does not have fanservice)

Verdict

8.9/10
