This could’ve easily turned into a very cliché episode, but of course the author had other plans. We also got plenty of interesting Okinawan facts along the way. There were lots of opportunities for the characters to grow closer, while the author continued laying the groundwork for the main story. I’m glad we got to see more of Hina and Kana’s friendship too. Even without Teruaki taking center stage, it adds much more depth to the story.
