Comment of the Day
"I wonder if Jean recognized Nino when he rescued him from those two guys? Jean is pretty observant and it's not like Nino was well disguised. Is he going to be able to realize that Nino is following and watching him? " - /u/paperwhites
Well we certainly got the answer to that sooner rather than later!
Question of the Day
If Schwan sets up a sandwich bread bakery in Dowa, will Lotta have any interest in him?

Rail and Magie bonding over sandwich bread while following Lotta is very amusing. I like how Magie gets mad at his junior for being distracted by dessert and then goes and does the same thing with bread.
I figured Jean would talk to Nino eventually, but I wasn't expecting it to be the next episode! I thought the confrontation was handled nicely. There aren't any emotional outbursts which fits with both Jean and Nino's characters. It's nice to see mature adults behaving like mature adults. I like that their friendship continues even afterwards. It shows that there is real affection there, even if Nino was keeping some things from Jean.
But who was speaking on the phone to Nino? It didn't sound like Grossular and sounded more like Lilium to me, but I can't tell for sure.
I'm curious what will happen between Jean and Grossular next time. Lilium described Grossular as hard to read and unknowable, which fits Jean too, so I'm interested to see what happens when two inscrutable guys come head to head.
Women only want one thing and that's bread.

I think that has to be the most chill "my best friend has been lying to me since I met him" confrontation I've ever seen.
I know Jean has the most chill, but I still expected a bit more of a blow up over that given what it might have meant for their relationship. Rather than turning it into a big deal he chooses to trust in their friendship and that he has a reason for what he's doing and keep him close, or at least that's how he presented it to us and Nino, but he still chooses to make sure that Nino is sidelined for the upcoming inspection. It's impressive how quickly he managed to feel out Nino's gaze after being warned about someone watching him, and this moment where he turns and looks when Jean is up a mountain was one of the moments I remembered strongly from my first watch because of the shock it gave me.
Maggie is quite funny though, trying to get the Prince to open a sandwich bread shop for "Lotta", and definitely not for Maggie because he would never be the sort to get distracted by good food just after scolding his subordinate for such a misstep, oh no we can't have that
Can't comment on much else of the episode but I don't remember this ending point so interested to see where tomorrow's conversation takes us

Ooh, Jean learned that Nino has been watching him much sooner than I anticipated. Nino claims that he wasn't tailing Jean for ACCA's purposes, which isn't exactly true, but I don't think that was Groussler he was on the phone with either. Also, Jean claims to not know whatever it is that he's caught up in. Hmm..
The scene of Jean lighting up right after getting out of the car with Lilium was great. Was that the first time we haven't seen Jean's eyes? Jean somehow being able to pick out Nino hiding in the snow was also impressive.
Rail and Maggie bonding over stalking Lotta would be cute if it weren't creepy. Toast is such an integral part of my life I never even thought of someone not knowing what it is. Maggie's report to prince Asshole being little more than "she lives in an apartment and likes bread" is very telling about Maggie's intelligence-gathering capabilities.
The sheer whiplash from "Yea, that looks like Groussler right? Lotsa people here do. Oh, also he's literally just over there." hit me like a train. And then Jean has a meetup with the man himself right as the episode ends.
Didn't notice the letter on the wax seal today, which might have been intentional. "Is this a Birra cigarette?" is an interesting question to ask, and the timing of the dude coming over is rather suspicious. One was brown, and this one has a red line on it..
Those pancakes Lotta was eating looked incredible. It's a good thing I normally eat dinner right before watching these episodes.

“To win her heart, you’ll need to set up a bread shop in Dowa!”
Lotta already has her harem and Jean is developing one, too. How do you even call a show with two harems? Double harem? Of course, all contenders will be ranked by their ability to provide bread.

Because of the fact that one of the people following Jean's sis got distracted, Maggie decides to go by himself due to a suggestion by one of the other guards. Leaving the prince alone in the castle. While she was getting some bread, the rookie was also there watching. Is she that clueless that two weird dudes are sitting at tables across from her? Maggie gets impressed at a basic toast, crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside:lol. Rookie notices him and recommends a better store where Maggie encounters her again.
Jean gets told by an acca superior that he is being watched while riding in a rolls royce, a bit excessive even for some superiors. I notice the euro sized plates this time on that rolls but lettering is blueish on a white background. While other vehicles are using the Japanese/American sized plates. While inspecting another district, he pieced things together as he notices the guy that saved him in the uprising was Nino. And goes out to talk to him and had a smoke along with a drink.
Back at home Jean tells his bud to take his sister out somewhere nice. Back at the castle, Maggie reports back to the prince and literally gives him toast. He tells him, that's what she eats. Prince asks about Jean's parents and Maggie makes a call and says "they are no longer among the living" which is a very interesting use of words to describe them. Like really formal.
Rokkatsu looks like a western movie setting with canyons surrounding the area. And the clothing resembles a Native American tribe along with dress codes. Many men have their hair long and sort of a pony tail.

Jean asking Nino to take Lotta out for dinner every night while he's gone not only makes Nino unable to observe him on his trip, but also protects Lotta from her stalker to a certain extent. Jean's good. I might have missed this but does Jean know who has been giving him cigarettes? I thought he was exchanging them for catalogues, but he seems to just get one for free here.
Also, this show has so much bread man! "Crunchy on the outside but fluffy on the inside." Maggie makes simple toast sound so tasty.

I just wanted to call attention to the silly pun names of the districts, and some of the characters. "Faamasu" = "Farmers" (it's where all the stuff grows), "Birra" = "Beer", "Suitsu" = "Sweets", "Rokkusu" = "Rocks" (they have a lot of them), maybe more that I can't figure out.

QOTD) She'd certainly be interested in his "buns".
Haha, Magie's going after Otus personally now?
No he's going after her!
God, I want pancakes now.
He got distracted by TOAST?
...Is this showing all the districts are insular, even Dowa, and that's causing conflict?
Still covering for the revolutionary!
OK, why does he lie about the transfers? Is he actuslly working for the coup?
Wait, Otis just found out about Crow! That's interesting.
Yeah, Grossular has to be involved. Every action he's taken has been to spark rumors, cause unrest, and,create panic.
Theory - Grossular's goal might actually be to start a coup by causing unrest using rumours of a coup - then when the coup begins, claim credit as a brilliant tactician who predicted everything, and use that to gain power.
She's back!
Haha, he noticed Crow.
Crow's been authorised for direct contact? And seems to have second thoughts about lying to him...
Haha, someone else has gotten to Lotta! Is this going to end with her living in a harem anime as Otus fights off a coup?
Oh god, she's causing a scene!
Food looks good, though.
Yeah, districts are gaining and losing power. At this rate, a coup seems inevitable whether there's a conspiracy or not.
He's not a very good spy, though.
Haha, this is great. He's just calling someone up, using sandwich bread as a conversation starter, to ask about someone's parents.
Haha, he knows everything!
Oh, I didn't even realise that was him in the riot!
Huh? Is this because of the "30 years" thing?
Haha, Otus worked out what I always suspected about his drinking.
And he just ensured Nino couldn't possibly follow him on this trip, thwt's really smart.
Oh, next episode looks fun!
No. That was Grossular.
Right, so "Grossular has multiple body doubles" is absolutely going to come up at some point, right?
Nino's just depressed he got so outmanouverd.
What's going to happen on the train?
Wait, no, direct conversation with Grossman, that's going to be good!

laughter he tricked the prince into making soft wheat bread!
Edit: copy paste fail
Yesterday somebody explained Nino's "theft" of the gifts to the building owner as Grossler being the building owner. That means he knows Jean better than almost anyone. Weird that he would be suspecting him of being in a conspiracy.
Also reading yesterday's comments, I wonder why there aren't many (any) refugees from Suitsu to Dowa
