| really like this so far and excited to see how the relationship between challe and ann evolves |
My 2023 candies:      |
| really nice first ep. The artwork is really nice aswell |
 |
| Favourite opening episode of the season so far. I have high hopes for this show. |

| Ah, just what I've been looking for, needed something to fill that a 70+ year old man falls in love with 15yo girl niche, and this seems just the thing XP In all seriousness thought, this was a solid first episode, fairly new to shojo anime, but of the few I've seen, it's been a surprising enjoyable genre to get into. The fairy dynamic definitely adds a touch of spice to a typical romance, so I'm looking forward to seeing how this develops. |

| This show looks pretty good aesthetic-wise, with good background art perfect for a "fairy tale" type of story, though the themes are a bit questionable, with the slavery aspect along with the romance which seems just a bit forced. Not my favourite premiere episode of the season by any stretch, but it has potential and I enjoyed it a decent amount. |
Skoorb said: I decided to just read the LN myself, there's at least an explanation for why he waited until night to try and take it from her, which was absent in the anime. After that point it can only be assumed that he decides to stick around and let her hold onto his wing for the time being, but despite the fact he can take it back at any time, that won't stop him from giving her a hard time over their master/servant relationship. I think I would have been fine with everything in the LN, but the anime doesn't give much of any justification for how things played out so far. LostSpectre said: Source readers, help me out here, that wing is not stopping him from just overpowering her (or flat out killing her) what am I missing here? I read the manga many years ago, so I don’t 100% know. But these are my three guesses: Guess 1: (the most reasonable guess) If he attempts to steal the wing and he fails, (aka fails harder than his attempt to steal it from her in the first episode) he may be worried she’ll “drop the act” and end up squeezing his wing to hurt him... or worse. He can’t trust her at this point, even despite her claims to try to be his friend. Guess 2: As much as an ass as he acts, he wouldn’t stoop so low as to outright kill a young defenseless girl, even if it was for his freedom. Guess 3: (probably the actual answer) This is a Shoujo romance anime. The eventual power of LOVE will conquer all and therefore there’s no way he’d threaten to hurt his future wife 🥰 All in all, just enjoy the ride and look forward to the happiness as well as the feels that will come in the future too! 🤗 |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| This is SO promising and I'm glad to finally have something to watch as unique as this. This anime is right up my alley, the art is gorgeous and the characters are absolutely beautiful!! I love it so much already |
| He could have easily snatched away his wing from her anytime, why was he waiting for her to sleep!? |

| Interesting shoujo anime. Ann is stupidly cute. Wasn't expecting the random darkness of the whole fairy wing/slavery/torture thing but heyyy. also that damn cg horse is distracting. |
| Already with a bunch of contrived shoujo nonsense, at least the setting is interesting, probably the only it's got going for it at the moment. |

It would be great to watch the second season. Hope that they make it! |

uncleqrow said: The manga was pretty good, and the animation in the first episode looks beautiful. Without a doubt this will remain underrated, but I hope it gets success.Potential dark horse for Winter '23 anyone? I mean not many ppl actually expect much from the title, but the 1st EP did delivers.... A trait for dark horse titles. |
| That was nice! the ambience was really fairy tale-like especially with the help of OST...hmmm let's see... 4/5. |
 |
| 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. |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| im gonna say " this will be good and interesting !! |
| 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 AM THE ONE CALLED POWER! How foolish and conceited these humans be... |
| 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 |
 |
| 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 |

| Totally not what I was expecting. Happy I watched! |
| 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. |
 |
| man this was just lovely. love story of a human girl and male fairy? i'm sold. anne is really cute i like her reactions. the intro was great. shall is too OP. 5/5 episode. looking forward to this one. @serafos are you watching this? i think you might like this. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| @TsutanaiFuun Not a big fan of romance anime (unless it's yuri), but thanks anyway. :) |
 |
| @ serafos i see. this was a cute anime so i just thought you might like it |

| 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." 4/5 |

| 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. |
|
| Very great first episode, the art is very pretty, and the romance between them looks very nice. |
 |
| 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. |
| This definitely had the strongest impression so far out of the new series that I've started this season. Unique setting, unique premise and likeable characters, really looking forward to see how this develops. |
 |
| Now thats a 1st eps opening. Chomping at the bit for next eps! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
Memores said: 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. |
|
| Loved it. Nothing felt forced. Great pacing. Can't wait to watch the next episode. |
| In the first 15 minutes, I already know that this Anime gonna be great (hopefully) the setting is fantasy, yet a soft journey, which kinda reminds me with some stories in old books. Anyway so far so good |
