We all knew that was going to happen. At least we all know now that Naoya is starting to have feelings for the princess, even if he doesn't know it yet. BTW If you forgot, Naoya is like 23 years old and Lotte is 10 years old. See the age difference there.

Anime Rule: If there are three or more female characters surrounding the main character, then there will be a beach episode or at least an episode where swimsuits are used.


The problem isn't the difference. The problem is the current age in their life. She's just a child. If he was 33 and she was 20 they could have been just fine.

Anyway am rooting for the prince. Hia real man. I hate pussyfooting feminine guys like Naoya.
I know am on the losing side but what the hell.

the thing that bothers me is how Naoya looks and sounds like hes 14. i know that they like to make anime characters look younger than they are, but thats just ridiculous for someone who is supposed to be 23.

Well look at it this way, Naoya is just making sure the princess saves herself for him when she becomes busty, prob at age twelve since this is anime (look at the orange hair girl and her big boobs in school and she is like 10 lol). Now, you see what naoya did there? lol

Loved the episode, especially after the last one, I was afraid they would take it into a direction I would not enjoy. 5/5 and bonus points for the gay teacher (reminds me of the similarly gay bar owner in Zero no Tsukaima got some good laughs out of him) and also the prince. I usually hate rivals, but I don't loath him for some strange reason.

Wonderful! I was not the only one reminded of this. At least kudos to you, few have though like that.

I swear, sometimes anime teaches the worst lessons about gender roles.

I would hope for differently in a story about a female demon succubus ruler. Is there no escape?

I mean come on, it's a story about matriarchal sex demons, and they pull this stuff about "being a man". Isn't the whole point of a reverse harem that she can just flirt with whomever she likes, sleep with whomever she like, and marry whomever she likes? Of course, she's too young for that. But if you're gonna put it in there, stop trying to make it into some weird sort of monogamy. Where does she even get ideas like this where her mom doesn't appear to have her heart taken by one man at all? This isn't an age thing, this is just a stupid gender roles thing. Her mom has the right idea.

It's a harem. A harem. Meaning several men for one woman. There is no "competition" here. The answer is never "which guy do I give my heart to", it's "all of the above".

Did you forget about the rule saying that there is no such this as a age difference in anime? :)

I actually liked the prince. He was 10x more of an interesting character than Naoya. Naoya is so............... "^_^" all the time. He doesn't have any likes or dislikes, he's usually completely neutral. He's such a boring character.

Asuha + China dress + no panties = died and missed the rest of the episode.

On a more serious note, I like the prince, he can have lotte, Naoya should go for the queen, and Asuha can run around with no panties!

It should be NaoyaXMercelida especially since she's still in love with him

yea i prefer that one.

I think that Naoya and Astarotte have more of a father/daughter relationship with 1 sided love right now. Like a father worrying for his daughter. Though that's probably going to change in the coming episodes.

That's what I think as well. I'd honestly prefer Lotte with the prince than Naoya tbh.

I also liked the prince, i really don't know how everyone else finds him annoying.
Also I didn't really like this episode. Not because of the prince.
honestly i rather asterotte be with him than the sissy wimp naoya.
At least the prince looks his age, and i'm guessing he should be around 15-16?

And OH god please don't let naoya and asterotte be together. there is just all kinds of wrong there.
first, he is the father of her half sister. her mother's lover. he is 13 years older. The fact that he looks 14, will look odd when she matures, and she'll look like she's with a boy rather than a man.
Another reason why I would prefer the prince, he is a young man who looks like a man. And he is cute.

the point is, naoya is a wimp. and a sissy. and he looks like a girl, like the prince said.
I really thought they wouldn't develop those type of feelings. That's why I read the reviews before watching this. It said the only relationship they would have is a fatherly figure caring for a daughter.
so, GAWD no, no naoya-asterotte.

So now our protagonist is also a great close combat fighter? For no good reason? Okay, this is not getting better. Though next episode is the beach episode, that should be enjoyable at least.

The only part i liked was when Naoto Kicks Sigirds Butt , I hate how he's so arrogant by doing something so stupid , he Tries to get the Princess while still Flirting with the other girls . What the F*** does he think he is? Some Harem MC or f****** something?

This is Bay zed (based). I think it would be much more perfect if the plot goes into that direction. But still it's a good show to watch and chill.

Also some people may find it uncomfortable about the age gap, but i don't think it's really a problem, as long as both individuals loves each other, the man being responsible, and also there should be no forcing/intimidating behavior (i have no idea what's the best word to put this) between them or even from the outsider (family/parents) and also manipulative behavior to gain something like wealth/power/just to fullfil the lust.

The obligatory netorare bait episode with newly introduced forceful playboy archetype to encourage the main character to realise his feelings. That said, I'm not sure if Naoya actually did or not, since he still hasn't shown any tangible signs of jealousy yet. On the other hand, I do like that he went out of his way to search for Astarotte, and didn't fall for the same headbutt twice.
