| Well, it's about time. They're officially a couple now but still, there's definitely a level of competition here for Christopher. I'm hoping these two and their relationship last long in the show cause it may not be easy. That's a sweet kiss though. |
 |
| All these hot looking dudes around our heroine, making sure she's safe at all time, even her brother, oh my, thank god for them xD. But still, so far, Elianna is like a chess piece, she's just being moved and pushed from one place to another, without any agenda of her own it would seem. And yeah, i would also like to know what exactly is the social status/position of her family, surely there is more to it. Nice flashback of the main duo too. |
 |
| Hm yeah we got a bit of backstory for when they 1st met when they were younger... and ending the episode with a kiss is sure a nice improvement for them |
 |
| With Irene's story out of the way, Elianna feels like she's upgraded from a phony to a legit fiancé, though the water's unclear for her just yet while Chris just literally aced it all in one shot for approval. The conditions for Christopher to be wed to Eli being that of the Bernstein name and surpassing that of her bibilophile interest, it was a torturous 4 years of wait going through the drama in the royal family, just to get to where they are now. What seemed like trival things that Eli misunderstood that are withheld from her, they can finally withhold nothing back...though the mood was great, but Eli's question was legit too. Both Chris and Eli's backstory, was one of fierce admonishment for someone who takes books as their living and breathing life against someone who disrespects books being as they are. But as they grew older, so is their time together hanging out in the royal archives. But the alias of "the brains of Sauslind", which is only known to the closest few, runs in the Bernstein family of generations that loved books, and Eli is no different. Prince Christopher's request to engage with Eli wasn't a decision taken lightly, and for sure, with his and Eli's current stature, now, there're people who can vouch for their relationship. And that is sealed with a declaration of promise and a kiss. Love overcomes interest, for the bibliophile princess. |

| Elianna and Christopher confessed their feelings to each other! What a happy time! I agree with everyone above there is still more behind the Bernstein family. Maybe Eli's grandfather will come into the picture? |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| That was great to see their first meeting, Elianna was characteristically fierce and protective of the books, as expected. I hope we get to meet his mother at some point as again she was mentioned Ohhhh a kiss at the end, nice |

| I finally got a glimpse of some of the background stories from the prince's & Eliana's perspective. It was nicely done. I can't get enough of their monologues or thoughts. It gives a wonderful experience to the audience of what the characters are really thinking instead of just animating it then NEXT like a presentation. lol And finally, they kissed. They finally have a mutual understanding of their feelings for each other. (and I need more episodes...) P.S. Eliana getting mad was also a nice change of pace but from here on out, I don't know what will happen as this episode feels like a final episode to me. |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Good that everyone that was kinda mean to Elli, apologized. This episode was what you can call very cheesy. Good cheesy, but still cheesy. |
 |
| I’d really love to see this week’s episode but hidive keeps crashing. |
 |
| Supercheese ep which was basically a drawn-out resolution of the last ep. That's ok, I like cheese sometimes. Almost no drama, straight romance. |
| I didn't like this after the first episode but I'm starting to like it now, my only problem is the Christopher looks awfully similar to my most hated character in all anime which is honestly distracting. |
  |
| ““You are the only one I want by my side, eternally” PEAK SHOUJO LETS GOOO. My boy Christopher knew who he wanted since he was a kid and he wasn’t gonna let his Queen slip away. Entire episode was pure diabetes, such a beautiful episode.  |

| Ha ha ha, I like how ruthless Elianna was 4 years ago according to Christopher. She herself knows she would have done that. Oh damn, her curiosity stopped him from kissing her. Their conversation is both funny and sweet. Their first kiss was sweet.

| omfg i loved this episode. their past was SO cute. tbh, i thought christopher was going to be some basic ass dull prince, but his personality was conveyed well in this episode. he was a brat, but grew up to be a fine man who is composed & carries himself well. he was always determined and he also has a side to him that they showed him having little "멘붕"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋcute! i'm glad he's not just some token prince in comparison, i hope we get to see more sides to eli, i liked that glimpse of her fiesty personality when she was younger lol. she's kinda bland at the moment ngl kimura ryouhei voice is a good fit for christopher♡♡♡♡♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| The most epic love confession/proposal i have ever seen in an anime. Epic! |
 |
| lol that backstory was pretty cute, not even the prince is safe from the rage of someone who likes books oh my that kiss <3 the ending song is really pretty too, what the hell |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| What a sweet kiss. I will always like that trope of the ill mannered prince who gets scolded by the heroine and eventually falls for her, a classic. tfw no cute blonde gf that's equally smart as she is an air head, why even live. |
| OMG....that was so damn cute and sweet I feel like I got cavities just watching this ep. Explaining how his crush developed followed by his expression/tone when he talked about the separation/reuniting with Eli's inner monologue in between....gaaaaah so cute. |
(My avatar is an original creation-please don't take it) |
| Is this the finale? I mean the main hero has said it. The title. If not, it's all pure Romance from here. Reverse harem probability denied and demoted to occasional joke. |
Nekko_Khayal88 said: Is this the finale? I mean the main hero has said it. The title. It definitely feels like it. But considering there are 12 episodes in total, then obviously no. But I am curious to what they are going to do next. Specifically stayed away from the manga and light novel for this reason. |
| What a lovely episode and we got the KISS scene already? that was a beautiful frame! |
 |
| I'm watching this while drinking chocolate drinks but even their moments were sweeter than my choco, lol.. I can't stop smiling, so much flowers and sugar, I'm worried I'll get diabetes after this :") I loved every time Chris called Elianna "Eli" in his soft voice. It felt full of love. I also loved that flashback moment, it didn't have much conversation but it was sweet ♡ walking around the library and reading books together. “My beloved bibliophile princess” aw! I think I'll always be a fan of the royal family's love story, especially the prince and his partner who is just an ordinary person/noble (though Bernstein isn't an ordinary noble...) |
 |
| Yet another anime this season that got right to the point without dancing around the main character's romance for the entire season. It's really refreshing. Elianna's perpetual confusion about everything is absolutely hilarious and seeing this from her perspective makes it a lot more interesting. Just like Taming the Final Boss, I really wonder where this anime is going to go for the rest of the season. |
| Hah, I'd forgotten that Elianna completely reamed the prince for his treatment of the books like that. |

|
| That backstory was so good, we even got to see a young angry Elianna. Elianna is so focused on books that she did'nt even remembered that she already met and interacted with Christopher when they were still young. That kiss scene at the end of the episode was so sweet, that's peak shoujo and I love it. |
 |
| Nah, still can't figure out how a bookworm like her managed to forget the Prince. And did she never really realize that he was the prince? Oh well, at least their first kiss was sweet. |
 |
| I felt I was watching an otome walkthrough I didn't sign up for and just waiting for her to reavel she got amnesia or some magic made her forget about meeting him before but nope she just forgot? It doesn't help she so inert as a character and he's the one describing how supposedly great she's suppose to be but maybe now they are officially dating she might start doing something besides holding a book. |
| I really can't get a hold of Elianna's ignorance. A kind of ignorance that would make you feel fuzzy and leaves you on cloud nine kek. Nice backstory there. We were able to witness Prince Christopher and Elianna's interactions from the past and the obstacles that he conquered just to be with Eli. I couldn't count using my fingers in both hands and toes in both feet the number of times I scream from the cheesiness this episode offered. Well, I couldn't say that I wasn't like that from the previous eps but man, I could literally die from the sweetness of this series and I won't mind LMAO. This is enough to make my blood glucose reach 6.993 mmol/L. |
