Wash It All Away 09
With an endearing protagonist and luscious art, this seaside slice-of-life story offers tranquility in the chaos of the modern world.
A tumble leaves Wakana with knowledge only of her everyday routine and how to run her business. But soon, ironing a shirt sparks a strange daydream involving a little girl... When Wakana comes to, she regains her recent memories, but the daydream remains a mystery. When the local tourism association holds a new summer event and asks Wakana to provide a stain-removal demo, the whole community comes out...even one of Wakana's oldest friends?!

This series is one half pin-up book, one half exultation of the charm of small town life via laundry, and one eighth a mysterious narrative that may of may not eventually pay off by way of shocking revelations.
Please do not use this review to assess my capabilities in the field of mathematics.
Anyway, at its core, I would be lying if I said I didn’t like this series and its somewhat cozy vibe. I wouldn’t be reading it if my frequent litany of complaints was that deleterious; I don’t have the financial freedom to just hate-read series (and if I did, they’d be Rent-A-Girlfriend).
Yes, even the gratuitous posing of Kinme (fret not, we’re at a hot springs a second volume in a row with all the butt that implies) is just something to roll with. I mean, Hattori-san knows what they’re doing.
It’s just… nothing that’s especially compelling. That mystery has been endlessly drawn out and the ridiculous double amnesia bit that leads this volume off is so flipping dumb. The way it provides a clue to the bigger mystery is so tortured it violates the Geneva Convention.
The rest of the story is largely concerned with a big festival, as is wont to happen, and Kinme being asked to put on a cleaning demonstration for it. At the very least it has some nice art of the big moments.
We also get a new character, the hyper efficient and blunt Souda. Yet another female character in a series that is skewed heavily in that direction, typically so it can feature them in glamour shots later. It distinctly lacks for subtlety.
At least they all get along and have a good time. That’s a bit better than just blatantly exploit them, although it does have more than a few moments where it blatantly exploits them.
I mean, it’s just to show up and hum along with its love of community and occasionally shake your head when it decides to have people contort unnaturally for no reason except posing. And then scratch your head because of the slow roll of its big plot.
3 stars - pleasant mediocrity that doesn’t achieve as much as it could, but doesn’t ask much of you either. There are worst books to while away some time on.
