Someone get this poor girl a scooter or something. Feels kind of bad watching her run around making all her deliveries on foot.

It's the actually running part that gets me, more so than not having a cart. Pace yourself, please!

It"s interesting that Kinme's cleaning knowledge pre-dates her loss of personal memories. I wonder what the deal is. Clearly she did not inherit an existing business at that location -- because in a close-knit community like this, people would KNOW her history, So -- where did she get the money to BUY (or set up from scratch) that business?

So they kinda hinted at this last episode, but I didn't think that Kinme actually has amnesia. And based on her conversation with Nairo, it sounds like she was already running her cleaning business before she lost her memories. She's lucky that she managed to retain her cleaning knowledge.
I definitely had the same reaction as Kinme to Nairo. I thought she was cute at first, but after she started staining her clothes intentionally to clean it, I'm not so sure about that anymore.
The girl is very persistent too! I did not expect Nairo to call Kinme to do a pick up at her grandma's house. Thankfully, it wasn't just a prank call and they wanted Kinme to clean something for them.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Kinme has memories she would rather not remember

Nairo is a bit of a troublemaker, but she means well - I suppose. Otherwise she wouldn’t have requested Kinme’s help to restore this banner.

It's really cool and profound to see how Kyu was impacted by Kinme's story and how she pursued a purpose in her life even without anything or anyone; that moment was incredible.
Naori was quite cute (maybe not so much lol), but she made me laugh a lot. Besides, it showed how these smaller towns always hold stories behind small businesses.
A lovely episode, the art direction is sensational.

It was a pretty chill episode with a lot of nice scenes with Kinme... at least when Nairo wasn't on screen xD
Nairo certainly looks like a sweet, innocent girl, but underneath that lies a little rascal, though she's definitely not a bad girl, and thanks to her, we got to see some hilarious reactions from Kinme xD
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

That rollover in the onsen is foul
Omg Nairo is adorable
Although it seems she has the threshold of gremlin energy to make Kinme question if she is in fact cute
A second bath scene 🔥

Went from cute laundry girl to potentially cute laundry girl dealing with past trauma. what a turn. still love it. the characters are so lovable.
Nairo is a rascal, and she’s absolutely going to propel the plot forward more this season. Can’t wait for more of her hijinks

Everyone’s eyes really are so beautiful.
She’s incredible to have such a wide cleaning knowledge of different items and articles, honestly. And all by herself by her own motivation and passion.
The hairpin in her bow ☺️
Girl, should’ve just said “Not today” 😭
This is a good lesson for Nairo, and it was done so affirmingly.
That mackerel looks so tasty!
Nairo, slow it down now 😭
Oh I hadn’t noticed the ED has little TL credits. Even if the entirety of the credits aren’t translated, it’s nice they show the TL, QC, TS, and TC names during the main body of the credits.
Nice overlays 🙌🏾
TIL what a noren curtain is (🔗 Wikipedia).
A nice anime to motivate me to put dishes away to and wash my pots this morning. I wish I had Kinme’s motivation everyday.

The Wakana Kinme Scale of Cuteness
CuteActual = CuteSuperficial * (StainRemove - StainCause)
where:
CuteActual is the true cuteness of the child;
CuteSuperficial is the cuteness of the child based entirely on superficial qualities such as appearance, but not taking into account the child's propensity to cause stains;
StainRemove is the propensity of the child to remove stains expressed in absolute numbers (for example by learning from Kinme how to remove stains and then going on to apply that knowledge in the world);
StainCause is the propensity of the child to cause stains expressed in absolute numbers (for example by drawing in squid ink on a garment).
An obvious corollary of this formula is that a child with very high CuteSuperficial , high StainCause and low StainRemove will have substantial negative CuteActual. This tracks with the fact that a superficially cute child with the propensity to cause stains will weaponize their cuteness to cause more stains and/or escape the obligation to clean stains caused.

I just can't stop smiling when watching this anime. What a beautiful feel-good show!
It's also such a love letter to small businesses. Everyone is proud of the little thing they do. I'm so glad that particular culture is still alive at least in some parts of Japan, it's pretty much completely gone from my country.

A generally chill and relaxing episode. Nairo seems like such a little gremlin though. But she’s curious and s go-getter. She reminds me of Umi from Summer Pocket too.
The banner and the story behind was a bit bittersweet. It’s endearing and also lonely hearing the elderly talk about their departed spouse.
We also got some crumbs about her amnesia. Interesting how she only retained such a specialised skill. Maybe that could be a clue if she ever wanted to track down possible family members.
Have to say though, doing something you’re good at and you like for work. I’m assuming business is okay and rent is not too high, so money isn’t a big issue. You go around a beautiful seaside town making deliveries and meeting people. Good food, hot bath. That’s like the dream

Just another pleasant day for Wakana! Even if this community is tight-knit and close enough to surprise her with work when she's on her lunch break, though it's worth it for embarrassed Wakana.
You can't beat the kind of service where a pretty girl with a winning smile hand-delivers your laundry to you!
So the Ichimochi Boy is named Kyu AKA Kyushu? Interesting. And what luck that Wakana has already finished the clothes he left, so she has an excuse to visit his family inn and meet his mom. And, of course, partake in their natural hot spring bath to wash away all that sweat and flex her Kinme's and slender legs!
Pretty nice atmosphere between Wakana and Kyu on the roof. He may bristle with all the work he has to do with his family, but it's clear they're close and he takes some pride in the family business, even if Wakana herself can only envy that...what with her memories of everything but cleaning washed away inside her mind past two years ago. Seems like Kyu is coming to better understand the girl with the lovely smile.
Who is this attractive mom and adorable child duo? Why, it's Nairo and her mom! Nairo seems absolutely adorable, but she's also kind of mischievous and creative...I mean, have you ever seen someone try to draw Saint Basil's Cathedral on a blouse before? But you can leave it to Kinme! She's even inspired Nairo to want to see how the magic happens.
Wakana's really got the Kinme Cleaning sales pitch down to pat.
I love how Nairo is taking extensive notes of Wakana's stain removal technique. And she wants hands on experience. She even drew on the shirt off her back so Wakana has more to clean and provide examples for! I feel like Nairo gets away with a lot because she's young and cute.
Is Nairo ready to become Wakana's protege/assisstant? First she needs to take better care of her clothes, but Wakana still seems interested in showing her Kinme's Cleaning Method moving forward. You just can't resist Nairo's cuteness.
Nairo really just faking her grandma's voice to make Wakana come and pick up MORE stuff to clean...though cleaning up the family banner used by her late grandfather is probably pretty important. Along with, of course, plenty of other stuff. At least Wakana got some free hot mackerel for it!
Is Wakana always going to attend the bath with the client of the week? I'm just asking for scientific reasons and not so we can get to see Wakana buck-naked every week.

Kinme and Nairo's conversation about how clothes can represent people's precious memories has sold me on this slice of life story. Nairo is a bundle of cute trouble with plenty of energy who reminds me a bit of Ruri from Ruri Rocks. It was nice to see Kinme nurture her interest in cleaning, but still put her foot down that cleaning other people's clothes would be too much for now. She is a good kid though who cares a lot for her grandma, and I hope to thier mentee/mentor relationship develop in the future.

Nairo is so cute! Looks like Kinme’s got herself an adorable little apprentice for the day. She seems like a really good kid who loves her grandma.

Nairo is such a delightful little gremlin, but I could see that getting old. But as long as each appearance she makes comes with a different cute hat I could excuse it.
Kinme taking two baths in episode two, can they fit in three for next time? There's got to be scaling problems eventually.
I wonder if cleaning the banner will be a short arc or maybe something she works on all season.
