However, when Naoya finally arrives in the world of demons in episode two the story changes completely. Hired to be her harem member, Naoya becomes a father like figure to the young princess. As Lotte deals with making friends, meeting her busy mother, and anything else that could happen to a 10 year old girl Naoya is there to help. Now I will admit that just because it is completely different than what it appears to be at first glance, that doesn't mean that everything is perfect. The story does not grab you attention very well, and there's a lot of ups and downs. The heartwarming moments that I loved about this show were great, but sometimes the lead up to that moment just was not as good.
When Naoya moves in he brings his daughter Asusa. This energetic kid is very outgoing and quickly becomes friends with the princess. She is always there to help the princess. Of course, Asuha and Lotte are 10 and Naoya is 23 which places any real controversy on her birth when he was 13. This amounts to all the backstory in the show, as there isn't much to learn about many of the characters. However, they interact quite well and have a lot of personality.
I usually like shows that are labeled for pedo's. Why? Well, generally the plot has to be much better, and deals with the maturing of kids rather than an illicit relationship with them. This is the category Astarotte no Omocha falls into. While not amazing in the story department, the show is still enjoyable and meaningful. Don't be afraid to try this show, as there is only a little ecchi and you will see why there will never be an relationship, or who might get Naoya, by episode 4.
Thank you for reading my review, and I hope it was helpful in some way to you. Questions and remarks welcome!
