This was one of the better first episodes I've seen in a while. Big fan of the lead girls personality. Also very happy to see this is 26 episodes. Light drama at its finest!
26 eps ? that is good news if they can keep this style up, this will easily replace the empty hole after KnT ended, the only problem I see is :
You forgot the trope where girl rises up from the ashes and achieves glory.
Trial prediction:
win angry girl's friendship
win grandmas heart
find out why her mother was disowned
finding her father
making guests happy
mastering a skill that nobody else has, thus becoming a valued member of the bath house
figuring out her feelings for boy-kun (forgot his name already)
how many more times she has to have part of her body grabbed or revealed to achieve "best series of the 2011" with the fanboys
she is a good cook, if she gets a chance to show it, she is already welcome.
problem is, even if she doesn't fully understand her situation, it shows she is a hard worker, she will very quickly fit in, but acceptance might be hard. the friendly girls seem to like her, but I think they will only use her for their personal gain, the shy sister seems like a good sort, but she doesn't seem to know how to help her out, something is bothering her, and it probably will be quite shocking.
