Episode is a perfect chance of relaxation. Bet that massage felt good.

Got a bit of delicious cooking too to celebrate the break. They all deserve it tbh with their hard work. Not going to lie, that looks pretty damn tasty although it's kinda funny seeing the way some of the guys were eating.

Nice and relaxing atmosphere. It was about time for a less dramatic episode.

I like Marina a lot. She's funny and very pretty.

That starry night sky was beautiful.

This entire show was mostly a chill trip, but only now we got like THE chill episode, very relaxing stuff. Nice to see the cast having a good time.

But now the question arises, whats the next stop for this show ? We are past the aquarium closing obviously, we brushed off the twin sister sub-plot with one line, we are past Kukuru being a dick to Chiyu and finally being able to work with her, vice versa. The two aquarium division group members also are getting along and not many life lessons left to learn ... so what now.

I guess the marketing section chief truly is a final boss of this series.

Everything is coming off nicely, and slowing things down.

Kukuru's villa place of lodging being made a relaxation spot for all the Tingarla staff like a get-together party, just to relax for all the hard work before.

Hmm...Fuuka's facial skincare lesson, and Kuuya's involvement and social interaction with girls is still a long shot of recovery. Kukuru tempting Chiyu for a massage sure kinda rubs the wrong impression of the usual Yuri moment at the start, and the single mom truly needs all the rest she can. For Kaoru though, she is easily reeled into it.

The guys are all just hanging out like their usual selves, doing all the cooking with Eiji's game of "Guessing the Takoyaki filling" with Chiyu's son Shizu and Kuuya, and ending the day with the usual fireworks crackling.

Umi-yan is married? Interesting! The mystery of the century.

This hangout spot Kuragefuu is such a downer of an episode, a relief for all the troubles before. Enjoy the big break y'all.

It was a good relaxing and calm episode after the hard work. Everyone needs to take a break.
lol Kuuya. A room full of girls would be hell for him. I thought that he will go to the toilet and never come back, but he's still there.

We still have Kuuya anti-girls subplot and Kai's crush on Kukuru line. But such issues are usually resolved at the very end.

Its nice to have days off that coincide with each other. The hangout spot though was a nice idea. Kukuru and Marina sure bonded over the weirdest of things. Honest feedback is always the best feedback. Marina sure went all out trying to get Chiyu to go. The massage though was a nice bonding moment for Kukuru and Chiyu. But the reactions of Chiyu and Kaoru were so amusing. The Tako game though proved to be a nice bonding exercise for them. Having fireworks as the finale for their break day was a nice way to end the day with. The sight of the nightsky from the balcony though sure looked nice. Overall an excellent ep that provided an excellent opportunity for the cast to not only chill but also bond with each other to comedic results. Work may be tough but it will be easier when you are able to get on well with your fellows.

Not much happened this episode, which is not a bad thing, especially coming off a drama heavy episode.

With that said, a little bit of plot development would have been nice.

Wow such a relaxing episode that everyone has so much fun with one another. It's such a bless to watch these guys just gathering, bonding and do different kind of activities. Sharing secrets, different sides or other interests between the aquarium crew is so funny. Very entertaining episode and great one. Hopefully it could keep up until the last ep. Hell yeah!

After the last few episodes being strong on the drama-side of things, I'm glad this episode had most of the cast simply chilling out and having some nice rest and relaxation at Kukuru and Fukka's apartments.

It may not offer much story development, but seeing the cast having out together and especially seeing Kukuru and Chiyu getting along much better than before, does put a smile on my face. It was totally worth it, seeing all of them have fun. The takoyaki guessing game was pretty cool when Eiji and Kuuya treated it seriously. =)

On a side note, this episode made me like Marina even more than before. Her midriff-baring casual outfit looked smoking hot and she didn't hold back on offering critical feedback for the delicious looking meat dish Udon-Chan made for her. Plus, her reason for working as an attendant at the aquarium due to her having a hard time communicating in Japanese was interesting, too. I do like her honesty a lot. =3

This was quite the change of pace, like literally. No Aquarium, no work. Just relaxation and massages.

I really liked that everyone actually hanged out with Kukuru and Fuuka, even Chiyu, who got convinced by an overly excited Marina. Speaking about Marina, she's probably the cutest there and I love the way she was dressed. Loved how she and Kukuru has a connection now cause of that squid story.

The massages were great, it was a good opportunity for Kukuru and Chiyu to get along better and it definitely feels like it worked. Kaoru disliking massages was pretty funny.

Kuuya endured so much, being so long in the same room as many girls. I guess when he is drunk he can handle it. I am surprised he got along really well with Chiyu's child, incoming subplot???

This was a peak SoL episode. I wonder tho where the show is gonna go from here. The first half was very much driven by a single goal and it's pretty much transitioned into our daily lives kinda thing. Still the mystery of the little red head dude and seeing something from your past.

It will be quite interesting if it turns out that Kuuya's task of "returning heterosexuality" will be entrusted to her, while Kaoru actually turns out to be the third wheel.

Loved the laid back episode. At least Chiyu isn't being such an asshole anymore. I absolutely adore Marina. Need more of her in the show. Kuuya had to get smashed to stay in the room with them. He was awesome with Chiyu's son. Kaoru's reaction to the massage was hilarious. So was the girls reaction to Umiyan being married.

This was kind of chill and a nice way to explore the different developments, I didnt really got too much into it until the night games, but I felt extremely nostalgic about the times I had to go with my mother to work parties like that, the silly drunk guy is a classic and they nailed the atmosphere at the end. Nothing spectacular but enjoyable nonetheless

What a wholesome episode and a much needed relaxation for our characters, which in turn relaxes us too. Damn, Marina looked great in her casual clothes. Really glad to see them become friends with Chiyu and Kaoru now. The Kaoru massage scene was hilarious lmao. Also, did not expect Eiji to have this fun goofy side, surprised also that Umi-yan is married, that's nice.

Now that they're all friends, work is definitely gonna be significantly smoother now. I guess the only problem left is Suwa lmao, that fucker. Really looking forward to the next episode.

Kaoru is a woman who looks (or dresses) like a boy, so in other words, a Bifauxen. Do you remember one episode when Kuuya's reaction changed drastically the moment he discovered Kaoru is a girl? That clearly explained a lot XD

Yeah, deliberately chilling and relaxation episode. A days off for all gangs, not just for gama-gama, but for all Tingaara folks. Even the boys also arrive to living up the nuance. Nice touch and idea to begin with, and i mostly envy, why i never get this kind of work environment to put the day off like that, beside the obvious some lame ass outing at the end of year. Its not really that lovely, like this. But anyway, enough sighing. Thats good seeing everyone there had a fun, together, very far away from the drama works.

Then, what else they do after in the rest of the episode?

Best episode in a while, it was a lot of fun.

Kukuru and Chiyu's massage scene was hilarious. I'm glad their relationship got better.

Kuuya is great. He went out to find a bathroom and didn't come back until the guys found him sleeping in the park lol. Then it was really surprising but nice to see him instantly get along with Chiyu's son.

Oh, and Umi-yan is married huh.... Great episode!

it's just a joke, because she was the one that came with the idea of making a "spa" for their coworkers... it's a fun idea in an anime, but irl, I definitely wouldn't want to spend my day off like this XD

Even though I know this is your usual character bonding episode, I was feeling uncomfortable when Kukuru suggested the she and Chiyu is to be left alone in the other room. Making me feel somehow that things could become awkward for both of them. Until it was revealed that Kukuru's idea is giving out a massage but the second Chiyu mentioned that Kukuru is bad at giving massage, I already know that it's gonna be Chiyu who's going to be giving Kukuru massage instead lol. And tbh I found it funny when Kukuru mentions the story that her grandfather bought a massage chair lol.

I also like how Kuuya does well with Chiyu's son. Sure, he had dealt with kid back in gamma gamma too but he actually is annoyed by that kid but then again, it could be considered that Kuuya's just being playful or that kid is just really a brat.

Anyways, good episode I guess... even though it doesn't have to do with aquarium but why do I get a feeling that this episode is actually a calm before storm? This episode somehow makes me uncomfortable as to what's going to happen in next episode like there's gonna be some sort of drama or trouble...
