Mushikaburi-hime

For generations, the Bernstein family has been recognized as a house of nobles who favor books over everything else. Elianna Bernstein, daughter of a baron of the Sauslind Kingdom, is no different. But instead of being called a bookworm, she is known as the Bibliophile Princess.

Four years ago, the crown prince, Christopher Selkirk Asherald, offered Elianna a special arrangement: if she would become his fiancée, he promised that she could continue to spend all her free time reading. Despite having to inherit a title of great responsibility, she agreed to the proposal, enticed by the prospect of gaining access to the royal archives housing a wide selection of books.

To this day, Elianna firmly believes that her engagement is void of romantic sentiment. When she notices Christopher's interactions with another girl, she presumes that the days she spends with him will soon reach an end. Yet, during this period of uncertainty, Elianna and Christopher open a new chapter in their relationship, gradually uncovering their genuine feelings as they grow to better understand each other.

i won't say that this is excellent but it was good !!as the story is nice kind of felt slow paced (maybe because i am used to fast paced) !the art is decent enough !!the plot itself is okay as there were many instances when it felt like someone was bullying the female lead!! it was kind of sad to watch but the end result or should i say the character development was satisfying !! the side characters were also nice as they get got less screentime as the side characters should get !! so as for me it's -6.6 stars / 10 stars !! ... it's a lighthearted casual romance slightly political story with a happy end!!

Mixed Feelings

Animation: 5/10
Romance: 8/10
Characters: 6/10
Story: 5/10

Now, let’s break down this anime.

If you're looking for a light romance to pass the time, this is a great option. But remember, nothing memorable—just a nice way to kill some time.

Let’s get into the flaws: the characters are one-dimensional. They are exactly what they appear to be and nothing more—no layers, no depth. The whole concept of the anime revolves around misunderstandings. Elianna misunderstands something, gets upset, gives up on everything, only to find out she was wrong. This pattern repeats itself and gets tiring.
...
The main characters don’t experience any growth throughout the anime. Elianna is the best example of this—she starts and ends the anime naive, believing whatever people tell her. Their romance could have progressed more, but instead, the time is wasted on misunderstandings. They could have focused on something more meaningful.

That said, let’s talk about the good: the romance itself is enjoyable because it doesn’t take long to happen, although there’s little development after that. The characters, especially the main ones, are beautiful, and the setting is pleasant.

In conclusion, this is an anime just to pass the time and enjoy Elianna’s cuteness and how pretty she is.

Solid 6/10.




Vamos ao superficial

Animação: 5/10
Romance: 8/10
Personagens: 6/10
Historia: 5/10

Bom agora vamos ao que foi esse anime

Para você que busca um romance para passar o tempo, este é uma ótima opção, mas lembre, nada memorável, apenas um passa tempo legal.

Vamos ao joio, os personagens são unilaterais, ou seja, todos são o que são e nada mais, não possuem camadas ou facetas diferentes, todos eles são exatamente o que aparentam e se resumem a isso.
O conceito do anime gira em torno de mal entendidos, Elianna entende algo errado, faz drama, desiste de tudo so para descobrir que não era bem assim, isso se torna repetitivo e começa a cansar.
A os personagens principais não tem evolução alguma durante o anime, Elianna é o melhor exemplo disso, começa e termina o anime ingênua e acreditando em tudo que falam.
O romance deles poderia ter tido mais avanços, no lugar de tanto mal entendido, poderiam ter usado esse tempo para algo mais proveitoso.

Dito tudo isso, vamos ao trigo, a parte mais agradável é o romance em si, porque não enrola muito para acontecer, embora tenha pouca evolução.
Os personagens principalmente os protagonistas são lindos.
A ambientação é agradável.

Com isso chegamos a conclusão, que é um anime meramente para passar tempo e se divertir com a fofura da Elianna e o quão linda ela é.

Not Recommended

If I could use one word to define how I define this is: tiresome. The girl is so dumb it hurts, the character development is boring. I kept watching in hope that it would improve but now I just regret I didn't just dropped it. And I'm saying this as a person that really enjoys ANY romance out there, and even though it does have romance in it, I couldn't find myself enjoying it at all. They use some "arguments" to defend the aristocracy that are funny, in fault of a better word to describe it.

If you came thinking these would be something like ... Kanojo ga Koushaku-tei ni Itta Riyuu, or Saiunkoku, you will be disappointed.
