Mio is clever imo. With that outfit, she played role of a detective to find out the truth. I'm impressed even.

Kyros and Marie's relationship is still the same as usual although I guess they are more comfortable with each other with every passing episode.

Mio is a real MVP, she can be in any role she wants. 🤣
Wait... Did Anastasia really survive?!

Lol, wasn't expecting to see a Döner in this anime nor some ice cream trickster.

Mio might be my favorite character. Her antics are very charming.

Give Mio a damn Oscar because she played the hell out of that role today 😂 not only is she a badass maid, but she’s a talented actress too.

Marie’s dad tried to put on an acting performance as well to cover up the abuse, but it’s so obvious from the way even the maid has the audacity to talk shit about Marie that this is anything but a loving home, I wanted Mio to beat his ass, but then we wouldn’t find out the truth about Anastasia so we’ll have to be patient.

Speaking of which, so that really wasn’t Anastasia but a fucking doll wtf?? That’s extremely disturbing that they’re literally talking to it like a real person.. I still 1000 percent believe she’s alive since we saw no body, but where?

Back with Kyros and Marie’s date in town, it’s still making me so mad to see Marie talk down on herself and not understand just how beautiful she is. The way Kyros couldn’t believe how no one had hit on her before 😂 I’m with you, brother. Her father truly wanted to break her spirit and isolate her. Just cruel, callous and evil. Honestly the way he talks like he owns Marie really makes me fear he might have had a sexual thing for her, I hope I’m wrong.

Kyros acts like an oil tycoon to impress his girl.

I actually like the idea of investigating Marie's real identity and Anastasia's ultimate fate while we're waiting for wedding ceremony. Otherwise it'd be too sweet if every episode is just about Kyros dating with Marie.

But somehow Mio and Thomas seem quite sweet as well despite their mismatch personality.

I really do believe that Annastasia is alive at this point. It's probably tied into that nonsense they have against Kyros's people, that has been brought up more than once. Mio can do anything can't she? ROFLMAO

You just know that the moment Marie step outside on her own for no apparent good reason, something will happen and sure enough it did. Kyros came to the rescue and that was that

I don't really know what Marie's parents tried to pull with a fake doll of her older sister, I can only assume even her younger bro didn't actually saw her but just been told she's back, and tried to get him to lure her back for some reason. I guess her parents really don't want her to be happy

@Kai200X

Much of Marie's poor treatment had to with her father, more than anything.
Having read the web comic, I can say that her dad is even more of piece of shit then you've seen.

Simply put...spoilers by the way.

Love how Kyros knows Mio well enough that he forbids her using violent methods beforehand. haha

The date was great and their interactions were adorable, it's pretty rare to see a male character get a costume montage like that too! The stereotypical sleazeball hitting on her was meh but seeing the jerk lifted off his feet by a VERY annoyed Kyros and his reassurance afterward? <3

Funny how she could mistake her totally really dead sister's voice for even a moment when the sleaze popped up. She really needs to get her head straight about her absolutely positively not-alive, disguised, and in hiding from the parents who were desperate to marry her off for money sister.

I'm hoping so. at first I thought it was the brother, but he's nowhere near them. but also the doll had real hair. put those pieces together. and then another part of the story is opening

Mio can do anything! A legendary maid, the very best of this season.

I was wondering that. There's no body found. There's the tale about a girl "slipping and falling to her most secure death in the river," which sounds very sketchy already. And now, some blonde kid is triggering Marie in the town when she's on a date with Kyros... Yeah. This became CSI, but with a detective like Mio, I approve.

The mom, being a bit "coo-coo," feels too convenient. I'm not sure if she's truly bad or if the real villain is the dad, and she, along with Anastasia and others, orchestrated everything to help both girls leave. Or maybe that's just me being optimistic. It's almost certain that the parents are terrible, and Anastasia was looking for an escape. Hopefully, the hair situation will have an explanation soon, and I hope it's shocking.

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

The cliffhangers just keep coming. But I wouldn't be surprised if Anastacia survived, this series doesn't really strike me as one where she would really end up dead. Maybe the mother and Anasticia are in cahoots to get her away from their father selling her off basically.

Also, what late 90s/early 2000s era Anime did that visual of Maria in chains escape from. Reminds me of Chobits or something.

Loved the episode. I really enjoyed the date between Kyros and Marie. They went shopping, then grabbed something to eat. By the time they were done, they were apparently having Ipsandros's crepe, followed by ice cream for dessert. Loved the date, but why was Cedric stalking Marie?

Their date aside, I also loved when Kyros went in choking that blond guy who was hitting on Marie, putting him in his place and sending him running like the pathetic, pitiful coward he is. Proud of you, Kyros, seriously. Always standing his ground, whether it’s against Luiphon or anyone else, for his girl, Marie.

Mio! YOU ARE THE GOAT.

Anyhow...on "Anastasia".....I'm glad my weird theory from last ep was proven untrue but real hair on the doll? I can't decide if I should be grossed/creeped out or not...


...and ok...the end was totally obvious -that was definitely Anastasia but I have to wonder what her stance is with everything... (ie: is she team Kyros x Marie or team Shaderan.....I can already anticipate the heartbreak if she actually supports Marie x Kyros but Marie is too traumatized to realize...I mean she already got triggered by -supposedly- hearing her voice)

Marie needs to take a self defense class or something. Carry a knife. Be a real American about this shit. You're a countess/baroness/somethingess now. Act like it.

Anyway. everything else was good. but eh. Wish those thugs would've gotten beaten up or something.

It looks like the little brother would be happy to see Marie.
I'm wondering how Elvira got Anastasia hair. It doesn't seem plausible that either parent would've helped her escape unless they were racist and didn't want her married to Kyros not caring about his status.

@FMmatron A few episodes ago, they mentioned "Çaydanlık." Now, it's döner and dondurma (ice cream) . The mangaka seems to love Turkish cuisine😂🫶🏻

@AkeZZZ well no body was found and somehow the doll has a real hair XDDD

i mean it would be kinda sad to kill a lovely woman like her, she was a really nice girl based on the interactions we saw: how she wanted to open a cloth shop and liked make them..
i wish marie will take cedric away from the parents, poor boy left alone in this horrible household
