Well this is an interesting episode.

We get some cute chemistry between Shirayuki and Zen but more important learn about Zen's past. This includes his relationship with Izana, his older brother. As expected, he is still arrogant. Seriously though, Zen is really getting close to her now.


But yeah, I think Zen does have quite a rough relationship with Izana.

Izana FTW I knew that this man was awesome...Such a great flashback and man I really like how much Zen respects his brother

The Raj moments were funny as usual and I loved the moments that he had with Shirayuki, but I love the Zen - Shirayuki moments even more

They just need to kiss and bang and then my soul will be complete :'')

She found him and they got into intimate moment immediately. He starts to talk about when he was young and what his brother did when he first started to lead a country. His strategy was somewhat high (sounds playful, but actually ruling well). More hugging moment for reassurance.

FukuJun's character is too funny when hiding for his fear. Rumor about the two because of the tea party. She helped FukuJun's character from not drinking wrong medicine, and brother saw that after the talk with the second prince about her.

More about the prince next.

Zen tells a bit about his and his brother's past, and Raj and Shirayuki meeting again was amusing. Good episode. Since Izana's pretty much done with for now, I kind of wonder what truly is his role here.

More Shirayuki x Zen moments in this episode. We learned a little more about actions Izana has taken in the past. Raj and Shirayuki's reactions to seeing each other was hilarious. I didn't like Raj at first, but the comedy he brings to this show made me like him more now.

Nice episode. The shipping moments here were pretty hardcore (just the way I like it). I liked this one a lot better than the previous one as things were stated a bit more clearly between the various characters (Shirayuki, Zen, Izana, Raj, etc).

The relationship between Zen and Shirayuki sure has moved along at a rapid pace, hasn't it? Not that I'm complaining; this series is all the better for it. Also, it's good to see that Izana isn't as bad a guy as I thought he was based on the previous episode.

It was fun seeing Raj and Shirayuki slowly getting along. Yesterday's enemy is today's friend.


I get why Zen can't feel any hostility towards his brother. I'm starting to like Izana as a character.
He's shown great leadership skills and he's concern for Zen's relationship is what any responsible king would feel.

This anime somehow reminds me of Saiunkoku Monogatari but with much more focus on romance. Love it.

At first, I thought Izana would be a jerk but nah, that's not the case.. I like how he uses his cunning personality and wits to judge others, and all of it for the cause of people. On the surface, it seemed like he's doing it for himself, but it's the opposite. Actually, he would make a perfect king. I like his character.

And looks like Shirayuki has become a driving force for Raj, always a good thing. Shows how amazing she is. Also, loved how she responded to Izana, good stuff.

Another beautiful episode, I love this anime. So relaxing to watch.

I feel like at this rate they're turning into a "more than friends, less than lovers" kind of relationship. Can't imagine getting that emotional and huggy/handholding with a normal friend of the opposite sex... Everyone in the castle knows they're basically an item too! Here's hoping they talk about their feelings for each other soon!

Izana is really interesting, in the first half of the show when Zen was first explaining what he did I was convinced he was just a bad leader and a jerk... but it turns out there is more to him than meets the eye. Nice to know that both him and his brother are really thinking of the people!

Also nice to see Raj again, haha!

Interesting how Izana tests Shirayuki's character to determine just how serious she is about Zen and whether she is only out to bag a prince (her reaction to the faux kiss showed that she was not a gold-digger). He also got to see that she was pretty upfront with Raj and despite their differences in the past wanted him to become a better prince for her former country. He also now knows just how serious Zen is about her.

Other than that this was mostly about the hand holding, the hug, and that long embrace on the balcony. There's no question how they feel about each other, all we're waiting for is the formal confession (and perhaps a kiss).
Please don't feed the trolls!

Shirayuki climbing a tree to get to Zen, usually it's the other way around.

This, yo. These two make me feel fuzzy. No melodrama, misunderstandings or beating around the bush~

But really, does it even require a confession at this point? They're hugging and holding hands already. Everyone ships them. This might be more contact than with couples that do get together after lots of problems. Although Izana still managed to beat Zen to the kiss huh?

Not sure how this will go for development. Usually this far in the series doesn't have such a relationship - and we also have another season on its way. Maybe the series will take more serious/political turn. That would be nice to see.

It seem we're back to "everything's very dramatic" route, even just to prevent someone from drinking a wrong medicine was so dramatic. Wow. Well, this is just how every shoujo anime goes.

I truly believe there will be something really melodramatic in this series. I mean, so far the little things in the anime have been presented in a very dramatic way.

I absolutely agree with you. For me, Izana is the best character so far. He's the only three dimensional character in this anime so far.

I think everyone is just hoping for this but it cannot happen at the moment.
Think back to the little dual they had, and how Izana called Zen out, Zen cannot just marry a country girl, that would cause big problems for him down the line.

So you can say that this is his new game, he's testing both Zen and Shirayuki but she has it worse because she has to make herself known, and liked by all really to even be able to stand by Zen's side.
