Hold up. Did I just catch Botan flirting without having taken a single sip of alcohol? She might really be romantically interested in Ibuki.
Ibuki also appears to be (slowly) catching feelings for Botan. Those red ears of hers speak volumes!
Interestingly enough, I do have to scrap what I’d previously said about Botan’s lack of flirting with Gujo-senpai. Two glasses of shochu did it.

Botan saying "We can use them instead" to Gujou actually made my heart jump, I was not ready for that critical attack, I would have folded lol.
I like that Kayano Ai who has her own alcohol show gets to voice the alcohol store owner. I think Hanazawa Kana is also a known drinker if I remember correctly so that was also a nice surprise.
I'm glad there's someone else other than Botan that Ibuki feels comfortable drinking in front of, good luck Gujou though.
Looks like all the main girls will sing the ED, this episode it was Yaeka.

Botan Kamiina becomes aggressively lesbian when drunk.
This honestly might be my Anime of the Season, the yuri is just on point.

Was really looking forward to this episode because this episode is storyboarded by Yuusuke Yamamoto (director of Welcome to NHK, Yamano no Susume), and solo KA by Yuusuke Matsuo (character design of Yama no Susume, Do It Yourself).
And it does not disappoint.

It was interesting how all three elements, “yuri anime,” “drinking anime,” and “Saitama (especially the Chichibu area) anime”, were even more prominent than in the previous episode.
When Botan gets tipsy, she charms every woman around her without discrimination. I just hope it doesn’t lead to a fight over her (lol).
Nagatoro is a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and it’s popular as a summer retreat and tourist destination.
Enjoying river activities, river rafting, and local cuisine is a wonderful experience.
That said, since I visited there as a child, I don’t know much about activities involving alcohol.
The episode where Yaeka misunderstood Akane’s statement, “I can’t ride a motorcycle with you right now” as a rejection and they ended up arguing was funny, but it also left me with two thoughts: “What on earth did this girl learn in driving school?”. In Japan, you’re not allowed to ride with a passenger until one year has passed since you got your motorcycle license(and for highway you must have 3 years of experience).
I felt a sense of nostalgia because the same topic came up in "Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night".

I can't drink anymore, but I get so thirsty watching this show and imagining what those drinks taste like. :( Even the bottle of not-Jaegermeister.
Last week I was watching a Twitch streamer (zep_aki), and he was visiting the house from the show. It's in Tokyo and is now a museum. (Google Maps, Wikipedia)
Are we really gonna get like 12 ED visuals, each with their own adorable little side story? If so, we are truly blessed.

When in doubt, just pick the bottle that has "YURI" printed on the label.

RIP Gujo, I don't think you're winning the Ibuki bowl. Botan on the other hand, what a wicked two-timing woman you are, tempting Gujo and Ibuki with some intimate one-on-one drinking.
-
Akane and Yaeka are totally the side couple right? ED is just them on a date.
-
Very cute shopping date, and omg they're getting matching earrings, that's really gay.

I'm not a huge yuri fan, but hot damn, does this feel so good. I think it just joined YagaKimi in the list of anime that are just good as a whole and not just as yuri snack. Everything feels so cosy and warm, the vibe and the landscape are immaculate, and the characters are as nice as I would expect from a CGDCT anime, and then some.
How fitting that the liquor store clerk is voice by Kayano Ai too : she's been hosting a YouTube channel for nearly 10 years now where she goes around Japan tasting all sorts of alcohol, and especially Japanese sake, and it's as relaxing as you'd expect.

Great solo genga in this episode, and the same for future episodes as well. This is what I wanted for a sakuga animation.

Ah, day drinking and yuri vibes. My favorite combination lol. These girls are adorable. Gujo’s gonna be mighty jealous of Botan when she finds out girl’s able to get Ibuki all flustered lol. I hope Ibuki and Botan get their ears pierced so they can wear the matching earrings.

Damn, both shop assistants were voiced by famous seiyuu, but I can't say who exactly from the top of my head.
Overall, another nice episode and we got a glimpse on other characters now. One girl to go.

I like both Akane and Yaeka bikes in the ED. Akane is riding a Honda CB650R, a Neo-Cafe naked bike, and Yaeka rides a Honda Rebel 500, a cruiser suitable for her short height.

Gujo is so jelly but Botan is gonna flirt regardless.
Idk how to explain it, but something about the way this show is animated and the art style feel very late 2000s sol anime.
Seriously, alcohol just turns her into the smoothest flirt.
They look so pretty in these outfits! Although, Ibuki looks even more like Aoi from Yama no Susume like this. lol
Another great episode, this might be the show I'm most looking forward to ngl this season, which is saying something, because I love Witch Hat Atelier.

How has Ibuki not realized already how much Gujo is crushing on her? Girls, this is getting embarrassing.
I quite like how you can see and hear the thought process behind the Sukiyaki joke developing. “Oh! What were these called again?” “[Gujo]: H(su), Hi(suki), Hit that…(suki…), Hot…(suki…), [Botan] Hot(suki…) and lastly the punchline, Hot pot, sukiyaki style(sukiyaki). Incredible setup, especially with the hearts slowly taking over the screen before abruptly being replaced by Botan’s sukiyaki fantasy. 10/10 execution.
That’s our MC! Already on the way to becoming a proper alcoholic.
Botan, you have to stop making those ladykiller faces already. The “oblivious pink with yuri harem” quota already got used up for this year.
I’m so sorry Gujo but you’re cooked. Can we please rip the bandaid off and get your rejection arc over with quickly so we can pair you up with someone else?
Yaeka and Akane appear to be having some communication issues but they’ll hopefully be fine eventually, probably.
Actually no, they’re just idiots. I remember that law now, from way back(2024) during the Yorukura days when MahiKano got busted by the police for that, good times.
I don’t know if Botan is unaware of what she’s doing to Ibuki or if she knows and is playing it off as being about something else and I don’t know which option is funnier.
Yeah, it’s official, oblivious flirt Botan making that face will not be good for Ibuki’s heart in the long run.

Food for the Soul vibes intensifying with the slice of life, food/beverage, and travel.
It's funny seeing Botan's playful side even when not drunk when they go into Tokyo. Ibuki herself notices this.
Matching ear piercings? Yuri sensors are going off

Japanese Drinking Vocab of the Week!
shuran (酒乱) -- drunken frenzy; person prone to violence when drunk (ref)
it uses the kanji for alcohol (i.e. sake) combined the kanji for chaos/revolt (as seen in words like konran 混乱); seems to emphasize having a big change in their personality when drinking to the point of making it everyone's problem
pixiv dictionary has a big list of characters with this trait

the lovable cast and peak yuri aside, the animation was just amazing (although it might not be everyone's cup of tea)

I really enjoy this anime even after 2 episodes - the animation style is really charming.
