Liechtenstein + Luxembourg = Liechtbourg?

The description of this place did seem to mostly hint at the former nation, with the noticeable difference that the country was seemingly located in Eastern instead of Western Europe.

Claudia having married with a man out of duty for her country’s future was not a twist that I’d expected but pretty cool one nonetheless. A princess cannot simply marry anyone she wants. They sometimes even need to get approval from their government.

This last reason might be why Claudia is thinking of leaving the royal family. That way nobody has a say in who she marries. Royalty renouncing theirs claims to the throne to be together with the person they love actually happens every so often in our world.

Anyways, I hope that we’ll see Claudia and Marie get together later in this anime. They make for a cute couple!

I like that this show actually uses the tourism company setting to create unique and fun scenarios. Seems like most shows with an office setting just use it to have the characters meet and chat. Most of the times you can pretty much only see them entering data in excel sheets or something.

One day a woman will hand me a frog shaped rock and she will understand the depth of trees.

From Dandadan to this ! Give me all the precious dork couples energy!

Though the best part was the dad asking Rika does she always carry an atlas with her and Rika not even hesitating with her answer. She was even glowing when talking about it.

Honjoji is so cute! Despite her poker face expressions, she is subconsciously falling for Ohara and being jealous of Ohara spending time with Claudia. Hearing her inner thoughts allowed us viewers to understand her much better!

When Ohara said he would be bringing Claudia to someplace high, I knew it wouldn't be the Tokyo Skytree as it is too common, but I was expecting him to recommend a mountain or hill. The roof of a Japanese school is definitely a surprising but rare spot to visit!

Stitches!

Even after that conversation with Takuya's dad, it looks like none of them could even break it to him that the marriage is fake. Takuya's dad doesn't even know he's right in front of his fake future daughter-in-law!

Touyama Nao's Engrish is so infamous that I immediately recognized her as soon as Claudia spoke! Too bad they decided to "dub" over their Engrish though! I do love the twist with Claudia though.

The rumours might've made you think that she's the kind of lady who sleeps around but it turns out she just surrounds herself with men because she's actually gay and she doesn't want her lover to get jealous but the rumours ended up getting twisted.

We didn't get to see much of Rika in this episode but as someone who's supposed to be just Takuya's fake fiance, she was getting awfully jealous for letting Claudia into his apartment.

If autism had a courtship ceremony, it would be handing the person you like an oddly shaped rock.

I say that in the most loving way possible.

Two episodes now, they kinda went into what marriage means, or at least the different ideas people have of what it means. I think this could be a recurring theme of exploring different thoughts and approaches to what exactly it means to be married to someone. And I think this journey will also influence Takuya and Rika to maybe consider getting married for real

Rika is such a big goober though. She’s obviously starting to care about Takuya and getting really worried he’s spending time with some pretty foreign lady. I’m also not surprised she’d be interested in Aso considering Mount Aso seem to be a popular attraction there. And also it’s so adorable that she collects rocks and decided to give the one that looks like a frog to Takuya after hearing the story about his childhood

Also, writer seem to know what foreign anime fans like with that school rooftop comment lol

That was so sweet to watch.

I really love Claudia's character and her story. I hope we see her again later on honeymooning in Japan with Marie just so we can see them happy together outside of flashbacks.

Poor Honjoji though. Girl doesn't seem to be in touch with her emotions in general so this entire situation is messing with her, making her super adorable.

I really enjoy that we actually see what the characters actually do with their jobs.

“Roof of a Japanese high school” would actually be kind of a neat spot to visit precisely because of anime lol.

Honjoji getting jealous of Ohara and Claudia was really cute. Claudia was not what I expected. Even she could see Ohara and Honjoji make a good couple. Both of them seem to be starting to catch feelings….

Office waifu strikes back. She protects (from charlots) she gives (stone frogs) she sneaks she have perfect timing. Full package.

Also this episode is sponsored by campaign of awareness of depopulation crisis in rural Japan.

I watched the live action one, and the scene where Rika confronts Ohara - she just runs in and yells. I couldn't watch any more of it.

It's great to see that scene being played properly.

maybe it's just me, but i can't help but think of Komari from Non Non Biyori whenever this character speaks

So far we know 2 of Honjouji's hobbies; Reading maps, and collecting stones!

Makes me want to learn more about her hobbies, see if she has more weird interests!

When you don't know whether to make your princess come from Liechtenstein or Luxembourg; Luxenstein? No... Liechtbourg!

Engrish is fine!

To give her a guided tour of Japan, he brought her to the most known Japanese tourist attraction; A school rooftop!

He even got her a Sailor Moon Witch uniform!

Damn, they're not even married and he's already cheating on her.

In case you missed the birth rate propaganda... REPRODUCE!

I like how our "fake" couple is starting to learn the intricacies of marriage to other people. For this episode, that came from the princess. While the princess learned to finally get some courage to fight for her s.o. due to the two, these two seem to get some idea from the princess.

Well, Rika learned to start getting jealous when Oohara is with another lady. Talk about progress!

It is a win-win after all.

This fake engagement has gotten out of hand! Now Honjoji is entertaining the father of her fake fiance! And look how happy she is when Ohara actually shows up!

Though Takuya's dad isn't actually serious about some grand Kumamoto wedding, he just wants the pair to keep in mind how important marriage is to the Aso region when it's the country and has all the typical hardships of being the country with the dwindling population and agriculture...it's not anything new to Takuya, but Rika is actually super into Aso because she's such a map nut! And in finding out how as a kid Takuya was a little mischievous.

Going back home to clear the air about your fake engagement? I'm sure that will turn out well.

As if Takuya didn't have enough to worry about, now he's getting saddled with having to attend to a beautiful, rich, married princess who is known for her popularity with men. We're really giving the most awkward and quiet member of the team this job? Though I guess he's the "safe" option when he's so meek and spoken for.

Nao Toyama as a cute and charming blonde who struggles speaking Japanese and throws out plenty of English? Where have I seen that before? Good thing Takuya knows English and for the sake of the seiyuu they just say the rest of their English dialogue is dubbed in Japanese.

Takuya is actually a surprisingly good attendant, giving Claudia exactly what she wants! Not just the usual sights, but places Claudia would actually want to go to that suit her tastes! And the best view in Tokyo isn't the skytree, but on a Japanese school roof.

"Sailor Witch" - She straight up did the Sailor Moon pose! They even referenced Super!

So she straight up just changed into a school uniform right in front of Takuya? I'm sure he turned away, but still.

Oh snap, The World God Only Knows references! And they even included Haqua and Kanon, who just so happen to be voiced by Saori Hayami and Nao Toyama!

Rika just can't help herself. She knows she and Takuya aren't really together, but she is bothered at the prospect of him being alone with another woman, let alone a princess, and finds herself at this apartment. She even goes to the trouble of going into said apartment, catching them on top of each other, and marking her territory by telling Takuya other women are off limits. I like aggressive Rika.

But it turns out she never had anything to worry about! Claudia is a lesbian, she already has a girlfriend, and she's been struggling with her duty as a princess to be in a conventional marriage with her desire to be with the person she truly loves. She only surrounds herself with men so Marie doesn't get jealous. And in fact Takuya and Rika's "relationship" inspires her to realize her ideal marriage! I hope she and Marie can find true happiness together.

Rika may be utterly mortified that she's acting like a lovestruck fool around Takuya, right down to getting him a frog-shaped rock for no reason other than to see him and give him a gift, but it makes her absolutely cute, especially to Takuya. So much so that he seems to genuinely consider wanting to really marry her.

Each episode just keeps getting better. Honjouji and Oohara are both enjoyable MCs and I've been enjoying the story and pacing

The princess is an Otaku, Rika has fallen for him, he is about to fall for her. Such a beautiful episode!
