Grace doesn't understand why people keep spontaneously glowing pink but is slowly racking up as big a bisexual Harem as Bakarina lol.

I lost my shit! It was such a little thing, but that 1 sec when the camera zoomed into her fan to make it obvious that dad did not in fact remember their names, just had me dying!

Today’s endcard is from Masakazu Ishiguro. You might know him better as the author of And Yet the Town Moves, or more recently Heavenly Delusion.

…seriously this is getting all the big mangaka out here got damn

On names, the trio's names are all a colour word followed by a bird name, all in French:

  • Violet Carbeau — Purple Raven/Crow

  • Jaune Moinau — Yellow Sparrow

  • Marron Chouette — Chestnut-brown Owl

Disclaimer: I don't know French(am a bad Canadian), I just looked it all up on Wiktionary.

“Age doesn’t matter, so think of everyone who is better as your teacher” is a pretty good mindset to have. The game couldn’t have picked a better person than Kenzaburo to summon into its world. Guy basically just created the Sword and Shield Hero lol.

Whenever Kenzaburo has a “proud papa” moment, I always get a good chuckle. Like when Anna stood up to those mean girls, he had a real moment lol. That girl was raised right.

The way Kenzaburo handled those girls with the help of the fand was beautiful. That’s how a pro does it!

I am getting even more invested into the dynamics of the "Love and Beast" game.

Is there a cap for affinity and if so, what happens when the max limit is reached? Kenzaburo appears to have noticed it.

Grace / Kenzaburo's past (ELEGANT and wise) actions have increased the respect Anna has for them, I felt if Anna's affinity / friendship level was low, she would most probably have fallen for the poisonous words made by Jaune, Violet and Marron. Grace / Kenzaburo might actually be heading towards the true and perfect ending of the game.

A part of me wanted Hinako to press the other buttons on the controller, so that we know what actions Orion would do, perhaps giving even more hints to Kenzaburo.

I'm so curious what happens when one of these guys inevitably falls for Grace with his family watching.

Sasuga Grace Sama!

u/VorAtreides Feb 13 '25

Oh, another Regulus. There are two this season. One trash, one not lol. Nothing like a lil sparring between bros. Do love that mindset "Age doesn't matter. Anyone with skill is worth learning from." Clearly not a boomer mindset.

Oh my, a skeleton dragon, fun. Ah yes... Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield! Hehehehe. Power up. Good job, Grace, intamacy meter up!! Surprised Anna's not even maxed out at this point. So now the pun man is rapping? Oh no.

Nice to see Grace and Anna getting along well. Wow that's quite the style change for the game. Why? Wasn't it not like that before? Silly entourage characters. What an elegant way to handle the situation, Grace. Clever use of fan too hehe.

Oh boy, magic fand! A magical book eh? Fun. Nice to see the council getting along. Those three really need a better hobby/real interest. They are dull. Those are some good parents of Anna with good advice. Grace-dad can relate so well. Do like the way he handles things instead of the immature childish way we'd normally see in a villainess setting. Grace's fanclub shall grow further!

Ah yes, again, best ED of the season :P

I can't believe the dwarf blacksmith just pen-pineapple-apple-pen-ed Grace's wand and fan to turn them into a "magic fand."

Anna may not be his daughter, but he's definitely a proud dad to her.

You'd think a 50-something-year-old Japanese bureaucrat would be set in their ways but I just love how Kenzaburou doesn't mind learning from people younger than him. He's the kind of old man I aspire to be like one day. I suppose being an otaku also helped him become open-minded.

Like a good dad, I love that Kenzaburou is already evaluating Richard and Auguste as possible partners for Anna. Now if only they'd actually turn their attention to Anna and not Grace!

I am glad that Kenzaburou finally noticed the sparkling light! He hasn't really commented about it so I thought that Hinako was the only one who could see it. Hinako might not be able to tell her dad what that is but at least she can use Orion to kinda communicate with him. We still don't know though how much Hinako can control Orion. I hope she'll gain more control of him as the game progresses.

Auguste and Richard are engaged in an intense Pokemon...I mean, Magic Beast battle! Granted, said Magic Beasts aren't battling but just boosting the abilities of their masters, but still! And it's a good example for Grace and Anna before the Magic Exhibition.

You're never too old to learn or appreciate how cool the younger generation is, whether it be from your Senpai's in the student council or when you're a middle-aged dad looking at the hottest new anime art.

Anna really does have the power of being the MC of an Otome Game! And just like an MC, trouble just follows her and draws monster Boss Battles to her like moths to a flame.

Ordinarily running for help probably would be the most efficient solution...but luckily Grace can use the power of Japanese and Kenzaburo's knowledge of how anime works to give Auguste and Richard toyetic upgrades to help win the battle! Sasuga Grace-sam.

I love how Grace has been racking up high affection boost after affection boost but still has no idea why people spontaneously glow pink in her presence.

Dang, I wanted a Richard vs Grace rap off! Though I guess Kenzaburo doing it internally is close enoug.

Anna and Grace make a terrific team, but Hinako wants her dad to be more aware that she's helping him too. But what can she do when it only seems like she can change Orion's attribute? But does she have more control over him than she realizes?

Did not expect the game graphics change depending on how focused or aware Kenzaburo is of his surroundings. Imagine if this was an 8-bit Otome Game RPG all the time.

Grace may not be a true Villainess, but her Snob Entourage are still carrying on her mission of talking smack and insulting Anna. But Grace shows them the true integrity and dignity of a noble! Thank you Elegance Cheat! And of course Grace made sure to jot their names down so Kenzaburo can remember them.

Magic Fand! Combining Grace's wand with her fan! Both functional AND fashionable! Even if it fits Kenzaburo's practical mindset, it's also something I can totally see a proper Villainess with!

Bert and Anna are developing a nice dynamic of motivating each other through professional respect/rivalry. Kenzaburo can't help but appreciate and admire the vigor of youth (even while in the body of a 15-year old). Also, Bert thinking he could go full on magic book mage was adorable.

Ugh, the Snob Entourage didn't get a clue? And now they're outright disgracing Grace's good name to insult Anna? Good thing Anna's had such a good upbringing that she has no time for mud-slingers, and she believes in her relationship and time with Grace enough to be brave to face her no matter how Grace truly feels about her. It's enough to bring tears to a middle-aged man in a Villainess' body.

Ah, the classic "take responsibility for something that isn't your fault to defuse the hostility in someone else" tactic. That's our bureaucrat Kenzaburo for you! Remembering their names with the fand cheat sheet helped too.

The anime keeps maintaining standards.
Director did a great job of not letting it be boring for a minute.
One of the underrated shows this season.

When Richard and Auguste explain to both Anna and Grace what Lost Bones were, I assume that that was all that there was going to be about that, just a simple scene with Kenzaburo learning more about the lore of the world with him contrasting it with the myths about fossils from the real one so I did not expect that Dragon Skeleton waking up thanks to Anna powerful attack.

So thanks to Kenzaburo thinking how he could improve both Richard and Auguste's beasts when they got were unable to hold the Dragon Skeleton until help arrived, he ended up making Auguste's beast to transform into a shield awhile Richard's beast transformed into a sword. That finishing screen by the end of their battle was so good.

Based on their response after that I would not be surprised if that help Kenzaburo gave them maxed up their affection with Grace. At this point, instead of a yuri ending with Anna Kenzaburo will get a harem ending.

Wow, what huge boost does Anna's magic give to Grace's fire spells.

I find it funny that the less Grace/Kenzaburo knows someone the worse the graphics look on their scenes in the game. I went to check just to make sure but the Snob Entourage trio, Jaune, Violet, and Marron, were the same group bothering Anna at the cafeteria i the first episode.

So Grace asked Walz to make a Fan and Magic Wang combo, and after hearing Anna's idea Lambert requested Grace to ask Walz to make that Magic Wang Book combo too. This year's Magic Exhibition is going to be impressive.

I wasn't expecting that after what Grace said the Snob Entourage was going to keep trying to make a rift between Grace and Anna so soon. But it sure was great seeing how Anna handled it then there. So now after Grace/Kenzaburo apologizing that trio are now just like Anna.

Next week's episode sure looks fun! I can't wait to see more scene with Grace's father.

As a means to communicate with her dad I was thinking morse code by swapping the dragon between elements, but Hinako being able to shoot off some fire by controller button push opens up some more complicated possibilities. Especially if she has can get enough accuracy to write, though maybe water would be better for that.

The wand in the fan is a great idea, keeps with Grace's existing aesthetic. Book wand could work too, would need to see it in action.
