I was wondering why the episode wasn't released yet until I realized it was due to Daylight Savings (in the U.S./other countries that may use it). XD

Onto the episode, I'm really glad Kiki got more focus. It's nice to see that she is reliable for carrying a dagger even when she has to wear a dress and appears to be vulnerable. She also looked lovely as a noble lady.

The moment between Shirayuki and Zen was cute and doki-doki as always!

I also loved seeing that Izana declared he is an ally of Shirayuki and Zen's relationship. He ships Zenyuki too!

Izana will have a wife, huh? =D


I hope to see Kiki x Mitsuhide. Kiki looks good in a dress.

LOL i expected Kiki or Shirayuki, but Shirayuki is out of question because she isn't from noble family. so the only one left is Kiki. LOL she really appeared. and she looked very beautiful. man, i really like Kiki with her dress.
Shirayuki still keep calm and keep on moving. good job! always trust you partner X3 and when Zen was trying to said all of it to her, DAMN! that was a really cute and sweet scene. i really love that scene.
And Zen's determination tho in the end......Finally! his brother approved! i can see the ending!!! probably next episode will be a buildup and the final episode is.........

When Kiki X Matsuhide's ship will sail ?!!

Question: Do you know the importance of Mitsuhide's role not only in Zen's, but also in Shirayuki's life?
Answer: Read the Love Potion Arc in the manga (not animated).

Question: Do you know why Izana decides to accept Shirayuki for Zen?
Answer: Read The Northern Territory Assignment Arc in the manga (not animated).

Question: Do you know why Kiki and Zen are attached to one another?
Answer: Read the Kiki's Past and Present Arc in the manga (not animated).

And finally,

Question: Do you know what Kiki and Zen actually talked about in the marriage meeting?
Answer: Read the Marriage Meeting Arc. in the damn manga (animated in this episode).

When Zen's brother said he was planning to get married, I fully expected him to say he was marrying Shirayuki... :P


Don't worry. The future queen is a real beauty both in appearance and in personality and is meant for Izana. So, just read the manga if you want to see her.

L-Ryoshi said:
I wonder if Izana's wife-to-be will ever show up...

I believe she first appears in the Northern Territory Assignment Arc. Since it's been truncated, chances of her making an appearance is slim with only 2 episodes left.

Xynic said:
Looks like Zen just got Izana's approval. Good for them. Now that they are starting to talk about marriage it kinda feels like the manga is ending.


The manga is not ending anytime soon. If my memory serves it right, the marriage meeting (this chapter) happened 3-4 years back in the manga. The manga is ongoing for almost 10 years now. With the current pacing, they could make four cour of anime out of it and still left with chapters to adapt.

Kiki's backstory and the Northern Assignment Arc are two of the best arcs in the manga so I am sure those who loved the anime will come to love the manga more.

Zemroid said:
I wonder if this will be the last anime season we're getting. The manga seems to be still publishing so I wish it doesn't end.


Too many chapters have been truncated to fit in the anime format. There will not be another sequel.

RayAdha said:
T-This pretty lady is Kiki!? Wow, just wow, she is like a beautiful queen <3


RayAdha said:
While I don't ship Kiki with either Izana or Zen, she definitely would make a great princess or queen.


There is only one person who is suitable for her and he isn't royalty. Even Shirayuki blushes, turns red and openly admits it felt good when she saw him without his upper body covered. The ladies of the court wants his hand in dance in a royal ball, the maids of the castle swoon over him when he is practicing swordsmanship and he is envied by royal knights because he is not only the best swordsman in the country, he is quite the looker. You won't know it unless you read the manga because in the anime he is not presented by a 10th of how he is presented in the manga.

Overall, the episode was pretty good and I can understand why they had to make those necessary changes and the appearance of a certain someone to fit it all in 12 episodes so that they can pull the curtain for the anime adaptation. My score for the anime will remain at a 7/10.

Sorry for posting a lot. I am just a bit hurt seeing how they had to manipulate the marriage meeting conversation and remove the best parts (manga readers will know).


Who is this guy are you talking about?? I'm one of this manga reader (Not the raw one though), but I don't catch any other guy who approach Shirayuki even at the last chapter, except for Obi tho who always by her side and he's not royalty(maybe?). But, by any chance, were you talking about Obi?

Gaaaah~ Obviously I was talking about my favourite couple in the manga! And the stuff I wrote were in response to the quotes (expand within the quotes above) in my original post! If you had already read the manga, it should have been obvious as to who I was referring to because all of the things I mentioned are from the manga and there is but one person who fits those descriptions.

Ahh, I see! Sorry I didn't catch it >< Anyway I'm shipping those two too, they are just, pretty obvious partners to each other, tho.
What I am wondering is Shirayuki's end partner. Oh well, I am in ObixShirayuki ship team here, tho lol.

I was soooo happy to see this was almost a Kiki-Mitsuhide episode! Finally we learn how they met ^^
It was so funny to see Mitsuhide mistaking Kiki for a boy hahah

They're so perfect for each other!

I'm happy about Zen too, he finally got his big brother to recognize his love for Shirayuki :)

This episode was great! It was so evenly balanced in terms of interactions and exposure characters got. Kiki and Matsuhide got a lot of attention, as well as Obi and prince Izana. Kiki's reaction when Zen asked her for the fake marriage interview was so funny and Zen's expression of fear was amusing too. She is beautiful in a dress though, but also as a swordswoman. The author did a great job in establishing a female character that takes pride of what she does in a profession dominated by men. She also isn't hateful of the majority (cough tumblr cough).

And lastly, I was glad to see Izana wasn't so snobby and decided to become an ally to Zen and Shirayuki in their relationship, which will most likely have to deal with a lot of obstacles.


P.S.: Have Izana's and Zen's parents ever been mentioned? I feel we haven't seen them at all.

Was not expecting Prince Izana to side with Zen. I suppose he was testing his commitment to her and then decided to approve, and that his testing was more of a protective nature. Guess I was bracing myself for the worst. xD With that dilemma gone I wonder where they'll take their relationship now then.

Yay more focus on MitsuKiki, that first meeting was nice! Kiki looked beautiful in a dress <3

Well, well, Zen is as serious about Shirayuki as ever. Definitely nice. Now that Izana is on his side, things will get interesting soon. As for Obi, he'll probably be in a one-sided love forever, so I hope finds someone soon. It's hard to move on from ObiYuki though, so I wanna support him for as long as he harbors feelings for Shirayuki.

Beautiful episode.

At first, Shirayuki is heartbroken when she hears about Zen's marriage interview. She is so heartbroken. T_T

It is nice to see Kiki as a fake potential wife for marriage interview. She is so elegant. ♥

We get to see the flashback of Kiki, Mitsuhide, and Zen. Five years ago, Mitsuhide hid from the ball by going outside. Then he met Kiki. So they both shared that they do not like ball. But she did not give her name to him at first. Moments later, when Zen and Kiki practiced sword fighting, Mitsuhide came. But Mitsuhide did not recognize Kiki at first. He thought she was a male at the first glance. HAHAHAHAHA. (>人<) (>人<) (>人<)

Lol @ Zen's reaction when Obi says he did not tell Shirayuki about the fake marriage interview. (>人<) (>人<) (>人<)

Zen quickly runs to find his girl, Shirayuki. He tells her about the fake marriage interview. They are so sweet together. They are blushing! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

ZEN X SHIRAYUKI MOMENT. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ (>人<) (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง ♥‿♥



Zen professes his love for Shirayuki when he talks to his brother, Prince Izana. Zen is serious about marrying her. ♥

I believe that in reality, rich people rarely marry below their social group or social class. It is extremely rare. Most people who are rich have affairs with poorer people but they almost never marry them. In reality, Yuki-chan would marry someone like Obi. Her being a concubine isn't too far off from reality. This is why we love fairy tales.

Good episode. Izana finally gives his blessings to Zen for him marrying Shirayuki as he's interested to see the path Zen would take with someone like her, especially considering she's only a court herbalist without any sort of social status relatable to her. Also quite enjoyed seeing the fake meeting between Kiki and Zen as they banter around discussing about their past and how Kiki first met Mitsuhide, who really was a dense oaf (and still is to a degree). At least Mitsuhide is definitely someone special to Kiki given how observant she is of him while curious at the same time. Visuals looked really nice in this episode too, loved the outfits Kiki and Zen were wearing for that fake meeting.

Wow, Kiki just looks amazing. She's really beautiful, and she's such a reliable and strong fighter as well.

Zen being nervous while trying to broach the plan with Kiki was hilarious lol

And more cute moments between Zen and Shirayuki. They should just get married already!

Izana finally comes out and says he is an ally of Zen. He wants to support them, but Zen needs to show that it is worth supporting. Great scene there.

I don't really think any girl would take, "Hey, you look like a boy" thing as a compliment, ever. Kiki still is plenty patient in this regard lol.

Marriage meetings and all is good, but they were for show after all. The real thing will be with Shirayuki, however long it takes. Even Izana's okay with it now.
