For all the sugary and sweet vibes Ann's appearance gives, there's dark themes surrounding this series, especially with the contrast of Shall's personality to Ann's. From the opening, I wonder how the small male fairy will come back into the picture.

I'm unsure about this. The animation and art are incredible but I'm finding the whole slave romance aspect hard to swallow. Anne going on about equality between fairies and humans but still continuing to behave like every other human (like, by buying a fairy for starters) is making it hard for me to like her. The male MC is enjoyable enough though. I hope we see more of Jonas, I instantly liked him, luckily going by the OP he will show up again.

I would very much like to see the alt version of this story where Shall gets his wing back and goes on a vengeance killing spree.

Off to an okay start imo, but wow I really don't like Shall so far. Not sure if anyone else feels that way or if it's just me though

Annona squamosa? I miss that fruit, & I like how mc name's in the fruit too.
Jonas kinda weird.
Got a poor carriage but overpays with gold? indeed naive. And with resentful Shall, a classic shoujo pairing that's really fun with Ann's derp reactions. that bedroll rofl.
Character art real pretty especially Shall's wings, maybe jcstaff's turning around.
cute dancing OP.

Woah, I really loving the first ep! the ost, the art all are so pretty! The vibe also reminds me a lot of 2000's shoujo. Also loving the fanstasy setting too, can't wait for the food part in the next ep XD

So like, is this man just a bottom? The way that he goes "please give me orders mistress uwu" at the end really contrasts with the sassy and serious personality he had throughout the episode. Not that there's anything wrong with that... Anyways, definitely seems like an interesting premise, and the visuals are pretty cool, so this one's definitely one I'll be paying a lot of attention to.

Slavery, in Redo of Healer and Shield Hero, it's the Beastman and Demihumans that gets this treatment but in this universe it's Fairies that are enslaved by humans. Many years ago humans rose to power and somehow enslaved the fairies just like many isekais where how they came to enslave other races

Anyways this anime looks promising, very nicely animated and surprisingly by J.C. Staff too, is this going to be romance? it seems like it would be one

Out of all the new anime released for the winter season, this one is my favourite. And, yes!, Masaaki Mizunaka-san (who voiced Emperor Koushun Ka last season in "Koukyuu no Karasu") returns to voice Shall Fen Shall in this. The animation is lovely and I am addicted to the ED "Kanaeru." Shoujo and Slice of Life, I am getting a "Akagami no Shirayuki-hime" vibe from this series which is delightful. Anne Halford is annoying, brainless and cloyingly sweet, but at least she's not so bad to make me drop a series, such as Elianna from "Bibliophile Princess."

A great start. I love the setting and damn he is pretty. 

I can already tell I'm gonna love this series and the romance is gonna be sweet. It does have its serious moments but they don't feel forced or depressing so its not that bad. 

Also its funny cause when I read the description I thought it was saying she wanted to be something akin to a magical girl XD. I like her being a sugar master better.

I got the feeling that he wanted to confirm in his own mind that Anne is really no different than all the other enslavers he's ever encountered, that with enough pressure she would easily snap out of her "Fairies are equals, and friends" mindset. Less about sexual kink, and more about proving a point.

For now I don't know how to feel about the heroine of the show. Her moral high ground makes her too annoying. The whole fairy-enslavement thing makes no sense as of yet. Still, an intriguing show that hopefully gets better later.

I loved this first episode. Humans have fairies as slaves. The story sounds interesting, I need to see more, the episode was short. I'm liking the characters.

And above all what I like the most is Shall, is very hoooot

Well about the 1st episode I would say they did amazing job with the animation of this manga. I personally loved it when I had the happiness to read it. I wont spoil the fun for everyone and tell you what is happening though the story. Its going to be lovely short heart warming story with a twist. Good thing is that the whole story and manga is very short as it raise my expectations to be animated as close to the original as possible. The anticipation to see this beautiful manga in color is .....Ahhh i hope more people like me would appreciate it.

Like the art and character design. Story doesn't appear to be anything special but interesting enough for me to continue watching it.

Don't really understand the idea behind the fairy just not taking the pouch by force or whatever since there doesn't appear to have any magic involved or a curse of sort. Unless they explain it further down the line it is just plain lazy writing.

It is impossible for a complete light novel adaptation which is 17 volumes to fit in 12 episodes. Again they cut many material. Very sad.

I think what they are really trying to adapt into an anime is the two-volume manga that tied up neatly into a little story. If that's the case, then it would be easy to fit that all into a 12-episode anime.

story-7, showed almost nothing interesting, the premise was kind of bad at first, but I'll follow a few more episodes

art-8, animation style bothered me, I thought the background of the places was poorly done and the fight scene was pretty bad (I know it's not the intention, but if it's in the episode, it should be evaluated)

sound/music- 8

characters- 7, the guy has been a slave for 70 years, but he looks like a soap opera heartthrob hitting on a girl >_> (it's good that at least they put that 15 years is the age of majority in this world)

enjoyment- 8

overall - 7,6

but since the metric is between 1-5, I'll give it a 3

Really really glad I picked this one up! The art style is so soothing and calming, and at the same time I felt instantly transported into the world.
Ann has the potential to be a really compelling protagonist, with all of her flaws laid out at the start, she has so much room to grow, and I'm really hopeful she will. I also appreciate her backstory, even if it's a bit cliché, something about it got to me.

It honestly broke my heart more than I thought it would to see the fairies in this world treated that way. Every time their wings get crushed, I actually get uncomfortable.
I'm glad that the reality of the situation is being acknowledged, and how, even if Ann's heart is in the right place, it doesn't excuse her naïveté- and from simply being a part of the world that she lives in. Her relationship with Shall really reminds me of Lena learning a similar lesson, at the beginning of 86.
I especially loved the scene of Shall and Ann just before he attacked the bandits not just because of kabedon I swear, because it showed a taste of what his life has been up to this point, endlessly following someone else's orders, and believing the next human will treat him no differently.

Okay but also that kabedon~ and that voice~ I really feel like Shall Fen Shall's character was created for me personally. ♡
Excited to have this show (and Shall) to look forward to every week! I'm hoping that we continue to get more worldbuilding and history in future episodes, since I feel like the setting deserves it.
I was expecting more animation during the actual fight, but everything else has been so pretty that I almost don't care. Fingers crossed that it keeps up with this really strong opening!




I'm okay now... At least... I want to be able to say that.

So very cute! Just what I need for a cute pick me up 🥰

The 12 episode length concerns me but they've already skipped a lot of things that weren't overly important anyway. So I think that's why it'll be shorter, we don't need Anne's thoughts at each layway station like in the manga as they've been summarized well in the anime.

Call me crazy, but I was super fond of them making Shall more...sexy I guess? I don't mean in appearance but in his actions. I know it's a romance but I liked his stand-off-ish personality better. It matches his proposed views for humans and makes the falling in love aspect a touch slower.

Regardless, I really enjoyed this. The animation for Shall's eyes and wings has me squeeling!! Aaah they're so so so pretty!!

Can't wait for episode two!

The ML vibes are a little too horny for me or maybe that's a strategy for getting his wing back XD Aside from that, everything is so beautiful and fresh feeling. I almost stopped watching 5 mins in bc it felt like it was a children's magical girl type beat but I was pleasantly surprised by the dark themes, n slavery bringing in the depth. Looking forward for next week's ep!

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.

This is an anime for me: shoujo, fantasy, romance. The art is so pretty and I love the character designs. <3 OST was nice too. I love the fairies theme and also that it's both cute/fluffy and dark/serious (the slavery thing, torturing fairies, and Shall killing those bandits). I like the idea of sugar confections too.

I like Anne and Shall a lot. She is so cute and he's damn hot (both his looks and personality). I have a thing for handsome fantasy beings (vampires, demons, youkai...). XD Especially ikemen with black or silver hair. <3 His eyes and wings look so pretty too. (BTW how can such a long wing fit into such a small pouch which she wears around her neck?)

Anne is so sweet when she rescues a fairy that was being tortured (and everyone else just watched and didn't do anything). But she needs to buy a fairy too to protect her on a dangerous road to a faraway city. She explains this to Shall and promisses to give him his wing back and set him free when they arrive in Lewiston. Shall wanted to be bought by Anne because he thinks she looks like the biggest fool from all the people he has seen in the last few years and it would be easier for him if his master is a fool.

While Anne is sleeping, Shall tries to steal the pouch with his wing, but fails because Anne has a nightmare and wakes up while he is trying to take it. But Anne doesn't punish him, she repeats she will let him go in Lewiston and then she rolls up in her blanket, so he can't easily take it. Shall is wondering why the scent of silver sugar comes from this girl (he noticed it before too while they were riding in the cart) - it reminds him of some girl called Liz.

While traveling, they see another cart being attacked by bandits - the bandits see their cart and attack them too. Anne asks Shall to protect her, but he doesn't want to go unless she gives him an order and threatens his wing. But she can't do that since she is a sweet girl, so he goes to stop them anyway. The fighting scene looks cool. The bandits run away and Anne is staring at Shall, shocked to see the bloody scene where he killed those people and horses.

We see a pretty opening. Yay, they will become a couple. <3 The end.  Can't wait for episode 2. <3
