2. Recap of Episode 2 of Honey Lemon Soda
Episode 1 of Honey Lemon Soda started out with the introduction of a high school boy, Kai Miura, who was going to school with his friends until he was targeted by a few bullies who wanted him to dye his hair black. As an act of retaliation, Kai shook his bottle of lemon soda to spray it on the bullies but accidentally sprayed it on a timid young girl named Ishimori instead. Since she seemed to already know Kai, she didn’t seem too disturbed by the fact that she was splashed with soda, but she did run away from the site.
Later, it was revealed that Ishimori and Kai were in the same class, and Kai was also wearing his gym clothes, like Ishimori was, almost as if it was his way of making sure that Ishimori wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb. While these are really cute and considerate acts, he also did speak to Ishimori quite rudely later, which made it difficult to know his true nature. However, Kai’s friends were quite friendly to her and even invited her to group activities, which is one of the best developments an introverted main character could have.
Things were looking great for Ishimori until a few scoundrels from another class recognized her as the girl who was bullied in their old school, and they belittled her in front of her new friends, which made her self-confidence plummet. Ishimori was apparently called “Ishi” (Japanese for stone) due to her awkwardness. She didn’t make any friends at all, and lived a very bland life until one day when she met Kai on the street in a complicated situation.
On seeing the pamphlet that Ishimori carried on popular high schools, Kai recommended she join Hachimitsu High School. With that, she finally steeled her resolve to change, so she gave up on an elite high school where she was guaranteed entry and enrolled in Hachimitsu High School, where she hoped to befriend Kai and hopefully even change. However, Ishimori was now at risk of returning to the lifestyle where she used to be bullied.
Thanks to a tiny push from Kai, Ishimori realized that she shouldn’t let her past haunt her and that it was okay to seek help when she needed it, so the following day, when the bullies tried turning her into their lap dog, Ishimori sprayed them with a bottle of lemon soda and asked Kai to help her. The episode ended with positive energy, as Ishimori finally broke out of her shell and even realized that Kai, who was the reason she enrolled in her current school, had remembered the fleeting moment when they first met.
3. What To Expect In Episode 2 of Honey Lemon Soda?
Episode 1 of Honey Lemon Soda has done no more than a few character introductions and setting of the premise of the anime. While we can’t predict exactly how the anime will move forward, we know that some of Kai’s friends are still pending a proper introduction. We may know a bit about Ishimori, but Kai still hasn’t been properly introduced, and not much of his personality has been properly understood.
Episode 2 of Honey Lemon Soda should reveal a lot of vital character information, and most of all, we’ll know how Kai will act around Ishimori now that she isn’t a pushover anymore. While episode 1 was a great starter for the anime, it is still lacking a few vital elements, and episode 2 will hopefully make up for those.
