'Slow Start' Episode 3 Spoilers: How Will Hana and Her New Friends Spend Time During Golden Week?
Hana Ichinose's new life at the Hoshio Private Academy continues to develop quite favorably on the Japanese slice of life anime series, "Slow Start."
Despite her initial anxiety about being in a completely new school environment, and the fact that she's a year older than everybody else, which she hopes to keep a secret, Hana's school life seems to have taken a turn for the better. On her first day, she quickly made three new friends, who even gave her impromptu presents for her birthday.
In the previous episode, it was revealed that she was late in enrolling into high school because of an ill-timed case of the mumps that forced her to miss out on all of her high school entrance examinations. She then had to wait an entire year before she could take the entrance exams and eventually enroll in Hoshio.
