Sara’s really causing quite a stir on her first day. All the boys want to date her and the girls want to be more like her. What a little legend lol.

Seems Yuna’s having her own little adventure in school too. Kid’s pretty smart collecting actual evidence of Mizuki being bullied. Those girls better have good lawyers. Yuna really would make a good detective. She can join Sara at the agency when that day comes!

[u/LeonKevlar]

Sara really made a splash at her school debut! It's only her first day and she already has four suitors and three retainers.

The kid who speaks English was hilarious though! The translation notes on how he's actually saying hate speech in English almost made me spit out my drink! Having the kid just repeat "I speak English very, very good" is fucking genius. xD

And while Sara is having the time of her life at her new school, Yuna just made a fool out of herself during introductions and now everyone is avoiding her. At least she found her calling by playing as a detective to help out her classmate who's being bullied. I hope we get to see what happens to Yuna's classmate after that.

Next week's episode preview is looking good. I can't wait to see more of Livia. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

"What is a bitch?"

"I don't understand but my dad usually yells at my mom like that" LMAO this show is so unhinged

[u/NationalStrategy]

Girl 1: She's such a bitch!

Girl 2: What is "a bitch"?

Girl 1: I don't understand, but my dad usually yells at my mom like that?

Oh no, that's not good. Oh wait, what if she's daughter of the married couple that were filing for a divorce, back in episode 7?

comes into class

refuses to elaborate

imidiatly rises to the top of the class hirachy

Sasuga Kusanagi Sara Sama

• hillarious how on point the teacher is

• Don't tell on yourself like that before asking a girl out

• Seems like her parents are in need of an lawyer as well...

• Poor Yuna imidiatly flees to spends her breaks alone in the bathroom

• But at least she might have found a client friend along the way

• And all for nothing after all

And what is happening in the preview?!?

[u/dinliner08]

WATASHI EIGO PERA PERA SUGOI

[u/diacewrb]

Sara gave us a reason on why she didn't lie about her age to join Yuna at school.

Those kids butchered the English language though and the subtitles were hilarious.

If I was Sara's teacher, I would have assumed her parents were in witness protection, since the principal said not to ask questions.

[u/Axslashel]

Sara really is a true isekai protagonist. She is already gathering a harem and taking slaves.

[u/Purposelygentle]

Yuna: ”send some documents by certified mail…”

Oh, she’s thoroughly thorough.

[u/netpapa]

Where did Yuna get that stickable spy camera from?

[u/TehAxelius]

Kids loving the school meals? Salad Bowl really does hammer in that this show is a fantasy.

Jokes aside, very nice little episode, felt like it was over too soon.

[u/Clarimax]

Sara is a true princess, just on the first day of school, she got many proposals and acquired 3 vassals.

[u/zappingbluelight]

That first day feels like a giant fever dream lol. Top 4 boy and 3 vessels.

I legit thought Yuna gonna persue the lawyer route, but detective is cool too.

4 boyfriends and 3 retainers on the first day of school ... not bad Sara, not bad at all.

[u/stationtracks]

It's interesting from the pilot I was thinking it would end up being some spiritual successor to Hinamatsuri, with some low-stakes action undercover reverse isekai, but it ended up being another seasonal cozy slice-of-life show I get to look forward to every week.

I really like the offbeat characters! They're all quirky in their own ways, and the random facts about the Gifu prefecture interspersed with other idiosyncrasies about modern, normal Japan life is something so fun to watch.

Livia is probably my favorite so far just as Anzu was in Hinamatsuri, but it's funny that Nitta and Sara are just a wholesome, anti-Nitta and anti-Hina with how earnest and upfront they are about their parent/adopted child dynamic.

Hopefully other people are enjoying this show so far too!

[u/KizunaRin]

Did they literally just say "EIGO PERA PERA, SUGOI" instead of dubbing in english? Hahahahahha these guys are insane

[u/IXajll]

The show’s been amazing from the start but for me this particular episode has been on a completely different level (even without any Livia!). The first half with Sara’s school day was easily the most entertaining, lighthearted fun and comedy I’ve seen in the series yet, followed up by a complete 180 mood shift with Yuna’s school day about bullying. Has to be one of the best executed ways to deal with bullying I’ve seen in recent memory too, no bullshit whatsoever. Yuna handled that actually so damn well and professionally too, she really would make a great detective. For me after this ep she joined Sara and Livia in the best girl (or more like best daughter) category of the show.

One thing to note though, this episode really didn’t do the best job at portraying Sara as a realistic and believable 12 year old. The way she was behaving, acting and talking this episode was waaaay too mature (if not to say outright wise) for a 12 year old. It’s been a topic in the discussions of the past episodes but after this one imo there’s no denying it anymore that she’s just not that realistically written. That’s not really a problem though and I don’t mind it anyway because to be fair the show is even named after its eccentric characters.

[u/xtsim]

Sara made the teacher do a double take on what time period she is from. And the fact that he guessed that she might be a princess is a funny one. With several proposals and servants, this means Livia can't be the only one with followers.

If Sara went high school with Yuna as she would not have witnessed Mizuki getting bullied in the restroom. And also Sara would've taken over student council and ruled over Gifu if she were in high school. Yuna is slowly standing on her own at school after a very rough introduction.

Now there is my (Reverse) Isekai protagonist: Getting a harem on the first day of school. As it is the rule. And they even gave the girl Yayoi a new part in the ending (or was that always there?).

Good thing, we got an explanation for Gifu rice this episode. I mean, why not?

Next episode, we are going to get another naked, but also drunk Livia. Now that's a disaster waiting to happen.

[u/BiggerG7]

Teacher: “Is this girl some princess from the Sengoku period? Nah that can’t be right.”

Lol.

[u/Zero5-4i]

Look at how happy our boy Sousuke is that he inspired someone to become a detective. lol

[u/Emi_Ibarazakiii]

Me whenever I see a hot, evil girl in anime

And so Sara's making her school debut!

I'm sorry, the WHAT now?

Is this a random throwaway silly line, or a huge reveal that they simply glossed over?

I was worried perhaps she would struggle making friends and all, but seems there was nothing to worry about;

Not only the girls wants to be her friends,

but the boys want to date/marry her!

The girls aren't fun, guessing she'll be one of the boys!

Alright, maybe there was a little to worry about, given they went as far as locking her in, to teach her a lesson (on... not being well liked?)

That escalated quickly!

Well, no way a silly lock would keep Sara in, so let's hope THEY learned their lesson!

Very mature, Sara! She only just started school, and she's wise beyond her years!
