A brief recap of Honey Lemon Soda episode 3
Honey Lemon Soda episode 3 began with a flashback of Ishimori's first encounter with Kai, whose words of encouragement led her to her current high school. The story then transitioned to a classroom seat lottery, where Ishimori, feeling urgency, asked Ayumi to be her friend. To her surprise, Ayumi already assumed they were friends, making Ishimori realize the importance of expressing her feelings.
The seat arrangement separated Ayumi from Seto, whom she liked, prompting Ishimori to offer her seat so they could sit together. This left Ishimori seated between Kai and Tomoya. Gradually, the class warmed up to Ishimori, influenced by Kai’s consistent praise.
After one class, Kai disappeared, and Ishimori found him napping in an abandoned storage room. She returned his hat, and Kai shared that his frequent bedhead led to his habit of wearing hats. The episode ended with the class on a field trip, where they got lost in the mountains, with Ishimori serving as their tour guide.
Honey Lemon Soda episode 4: What to expect?
Honey Lemon Soda episode 4 will mainly adapt past the second half of chapter 5 and focus on Ishimori trying to comfort all her classmates after getting lost in the mountains.
Although episode 3 portrayed the situation as a deliberate attempt to bully Ishimori, episode 4 will reveal the actual scenario and bring Kai and Ishimori even closer. Episode 3 adapted the second half of chapter 3, the entirety of chapter 4, and the first half of chapter 5. Fans wanting to progress with the story can start reading from chapter 5.
