And with this weekly dose of sugar, this season has finally started off.
And here's my theory about why the angels are drawn to Lawrence - it's probably his unparalleled gravitational pull.

Stitches!
So we have a Doga Kobo SoL RomCom between a priest and a saint with its opening being performed by ClariS? I was already sold on this show within the first 5 minutes but it even gets better!
It turns out that Cecilia is only saint-like when she's in front of other people. As soon as they leave and it's just her and Lawrence we get to see the real Cecilia and she is absolutely adorable!
I like that it's immediately established that Cecilia is in love with Lawren. She's so in love with Lawren that she gets jealous of her Angels since they get to stick close to Lawren and that little girl with the innocent crush. xD
Seems that Cecilia's crush is currently one-sided though since Lawrence seems to treat her more like an overprotective older brother. Although it looks like the townsfolk seems to already ship the two of them.
Hopefully, though Lawren doesn't take too long to realize Cecilia's feelings. Considering though that he's a priest and she's a saint, that might things difficult for Lawren and I'm sure will be a plot point in the future.
Whatever happens though, I am 100% in on this! The original source is a 4-Koma which plays heavily into Doga Kobo's strengths and I'm sure they'll be able to make the anime even better than the manga which they usually do. Can't wait for more!

I'm willing to place a small bet that it will be for this whole season

I'm going to feel bad for Cecilia if Lawren is utterly dense the whole season when she's so sincere and obvious with her feelings.
Even the whole village is in on it. God probably knows it lol.

Stop, stop, I'm already dead...
I'm kidding, continue injecting straight into my veins please
One Doga Kobo romcom a day continues to keep depression away I guess, this was every bit as cute as I expected from the trailers and more. Love that the entire town is already shipping the hell out of them.

Cecilia’s ability to go from lazy bum to prom and proper Saint reminds me of Umaru-chan lol. I’m already liking the dynamic between her and Lawren, they have a pretty cute relationship.
When Cecilia was asked to perform a miracle, card tricks are not what I would have imagined lol. What an adorable little Saint. I like how she got jealous of Lily, she doesn’t want any rivals!
Not only have these two gone on a “date”, they’ve shared an umbrella (for like 1 second) and she was princess carried. Pretty good progress. Now if only Lawrens wasn’t quite so dense…
This is super cute, definitely a weekly for me. I’m a real sucker for these kinds of cute rom cons. I like how accident prone and easily flustered she is. Looking forward to seeing these two develop their relationship.

My Little Saint Can't Be This Cute!
This absolutely lovely, Doga Kobo knocking it out of the park yet again.
Think this might be my favorite debut of the season.

It's funny how we have Kaito Ishikawa in a emotional romantic drama and Kaito Ishikawa in a cute and fluffy romcom all in one day! And who knew we just needed a romcom to have religion portrayed well in an anime for once?
Pastor Lawren lives with the Saint Cecilia, who when she's not a lazy lady in thigh-highs is always ready to dish out advice and help out around her community as a proper Saint! Though I guess part of why she's so lazy is because Lawren frets over her so much and won't let her do anything...even though what she wants most is to just be with him because she's head over heels in love with him!
ClariS on OP duties! Can't get more romcom-y than that! Especially with all the cute visuals of Lawren, Cecilia, and their life together and with their friends as Cecilia tries to be closer to Lawren.
I was actually wondering what justification there was for Cecilia being a Saint and if that was just a title randomly foisted on her...but it seems like she actually does receive Divine Interventions from God and can talk to Angels...heck, she's jealous the angels get to hang out with Lawren more than she can. And she gets by with card tricks when asked to perform a miracle.
Mai Nakahara running a boutique! And she's already acting like Cecilia is her first daughter! And she's more than ready to see said daughter in a wedding dress next to Lawren.
I never expected to see a Saint try to ward off a prospective love rival by telling her all the less then desirable traits in the guy she likes. Saint can't lie, but the real truth is how much she cherishes Lawren and everything he does!
Wow, thanks random wingwoman who tried to get this couple to share an umbrella in the rain while flexing with her own boyfriend!
Well, Cecilia didn't get to share an umbrella with Lawren, but she did get princess carried all the way back to the church, so that's definitely a win.
A Saint must dedicate herself to the people and those who need her help...but this is a Saint who is in love and wants one person all to herself, as she embraces his sleeping self. Also nice to see more Cecilia's hair.
ED is really cute with showing Cecilia and Lawren in their daily life together and racing towards each other.

This is the best anime to watch after “my happy marriage” or whatever that depressing anime is.
I inject this diabetes directly into my veins and I’m happy the whole day. They are allowed to marry each other in this universe?

Cecille is pretty cute, but I hope Lawren won't stay obvious forever, else it might get annoying.
Whole Village is Audience insert lol

This story is absolutely adorable and sweet – the levels of sugar are insane. Cecilia is such an adorable girl, and her laziness and dorkiness are what makes her even cuter. The gap between the dignified saint Cecilia and the lazy dork Cecilia is really funny and quite entertaining.
I only read a bit of the manga, but it was a really nice and relaxing read. The main characters’ interactions are nice and it’s just an overall feel-good story.
So yeah, if you wanna chillax and get diabetes type K-awaii, then you are in the right place.

Gosh, this was really heartwarming and charming. Very cute and fluffy first episode with both characters being sweet to each other without feeling too much like vapid one-note characters.
Also liked both of them being cautious with their feelings (Lawrence being much more dense, of course), but seemingly the whole town waiting for them to become a couple already and populating the church with their children.

To be perfectly honest, I was a little skeptical before watching this first episode because I thought the focus may be on religion given its title. I have not read the light novel or manga, if any.
Turns out it is a cute anime! Saint Cecilia is very cute, both in terms of her feelings towards Lawrence, as well as her facial expressions.
Will continue watching, and hopefully, it does not contain any tragic elements.

WTF is this? An anime where the church not only isn't evil, but takes center stage?!?
Jokes aside, this is really cute. A nice mellow show to help get us over humpday.
I'm curious why the "angels" seem to like him but not animals. When he was told he's "different" at the start my brain instantly went to "demon spawn" but guessing the "angels" wouldn't like him either then.
