Is this why they're delaying the meeting of Shion and Eiko in the anime? To leave the reveal that Shion is a ronin too until later? I don't get it, now if Shion told Eiko that Hana is, then it would make more sense.
I'm not exactly sure how much the Yuri tag applies to the whole series. Not even Saki has it. I'll suggest adding the Student/Teacher, age gap and yuri (crush) tags to Eiko x Enami chapters though. I think the Yuri tag should only apply to series and chapters with such relationships in its center while Slow Start has more of the slice of life feeling where most characters are just interested in girls. Obviously Saki was a huge inspiration for Hakka-ya.
I was just expecting some easy enjoyble enterainment with this, but the characters are actually pretty interesting. With Eiko it's kinda like we are seeing a harem protagonist from the perspective of her friends, Kamuri was probabaly at some point Eiko's cat until she was turned into a human and Tamate is obviously a magical girl in secret. Hiroe is an intersting take on the SCPresident archtype and Hana herself is intersting too, not to forget her mother/wife Shion.
I don't know why Eiko even pretends Tama is wrong over the phone when she hides nothing once a pretty woman is in front of her. Her actions betray her words.
On the other hand, I wish they had animated that final part of the color pages instead of changing it for a punch line in the anime. The manga version wins in the gayness here.
I could hear the ending playing at the end of this chapter. I'm gonna miss this show, good thing we have the manga and I still need to typeset a few more anthology chapters.
