Mixed Feelings
This is my review for the whole thing, including novels and manga and anime. SPOILERS HERE SO BEWARE. So I first read some of the manga and kinda liked it. So I looked it up, found out it was novels first and read those. From then I was disappointed.


You know that priest from whose perspective the anime is being made. Yeah the grown adult dude priest. She ends up with him romantically... Yep that's right. He meets her as a little girl and in a not far off future they are a couple. Uncomfortable. This is made a lot worse now by the anime being from his perspective. I am afraid of where this will go and if we will hear thoughts of a grown dude falling for a teenage girl. Hopefully not. The manga and the novels are from her perspective. Where you can hear her thoughts of a woman not a kid, and even then it's still weird considering the large age difference in their bodies. So when I decided to watch the first season of the anime, because honestly I liked the adorable cutey who was her childhood friend Lutz and wanted to see him animated, I was horrified by the fact that we are hit with this being from Ferdinand's perspective. And he thinks she is a little girl when they meet so... yeah. He does find out about her. DOes it make it less weird? I don't know. I am afraid to view any further seasons. Next season should be when she enters into contact with nobility and the romance seeds shall be planted between her and the priest dude. Romance of course being a forced marriage for political reasons because... Yeah it can't ever be just 2 people wanting to get married. It's gotta be forced by a situation in some way, especially in a lot of shoujo.

Honestly this story doesn't have a horrible writing like many of the isekai do and if this didn't become a love story between and older priest dude and a teenage girl I think I would have maybe even loved it. They get married btw. And because of the magic thingy she never quite grows up to look like an adult and is a loli forever. EYy, double trouble. Like if you were gonna make it a weird story at least make her grow up and start looking adult over time, not keep her looking like a loli. When they meet and this isekai romance starts is when he is 20y/o going on 21y/o and she is 12-13y/o. She doesn't really grow up much from this age. Actually they meet near her around her 13th birthday. I mean... yeah. Once you know they get together and she always stays looking young and tiny... Yeah. I hope they change this for the anime. They change storylines for all kinds of anime all the time. This might be one story line that could benefit from such a change. Also the way we get so much Lutz in the beginning and his developing feelings and he is almost the main character and then he suddenly drops of the face of the earth and gets forgotten and Ferdinand becomes the main character it feels as if the author wrote Lutz as main love interest and then changed her mind and decided on another character midway through writing the novels.
