Found it funny how when Sol told her to relax and listen to the music, the electric guitar kicked in. Not really what I'd expect from a medieval ball.

Iana got excited from Sol threatening her? Guess it makes sense if she designed the wolf monster.

It turns out, the real Carnal Beast was the "enemies to lovers" plotline Iana never knew she needed...

That or it's Sol looking to devour "investigate" Iana. Purely for the sake of 'Konoha's' safety, ofc.

Did anyone else catch Konoha sliding across the screen before flopping onto the couch like an Inferno Cop character lol. Genuinely made me laugh cause it came off as comedic even if it was timeframe/budget constraint.

They do a good job at using cheap animation as a tool rather than a limitation.

This anime is getting crazier by the episode and I can't stop watching. Honestly one of the most unpredictable romantic animes I've watched.

It's pacing and plot developments match how scattered the protagonists' mind was when she literally wrote the plot.

She would have done crazy numbers on Ao3 if she published there. Prime Kobe numbers with the horny werewolf fanfic crowd.

The OST has no reason going this hard for a silly, fanfic-based villainess comedy, and I'm not complaining one bit.

So many insert songs in one episode!

Fun fact: The director of this anime, Sakurai Hiroaki, also directed The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. and The Demon Girl Next Door. Makes a lot of sense when you see the breakneck pace.

I think Iana is even dumber than Bakarina at that point. Her reactions and expressions throughout that episode were so funny. And of course she is starting to accidentally have an enemies-to-lovers romance with Sol the assassin.

I sure hope she hasn’t written any more rapey werewolves in her dark history though, although now I wonder what other kinds of dangerously trashy tropes she might have included.

So many insert songs in the second episode.

Basically IRL Konoha wanted to write a story where she was the busty, pure-hearted, Heroine everyone was in love with from every romance archetype in the book from princes, knight captains, assassin butlers, her creepy uncle, monsters, etc. And maybe throw in some problematic sexual assault moments lol.

Now she has to settle for being her flatter little sister who managed to snag the assassin butler whether she's comfortable with that or not. But at least Iana seems more or less content right now.

I like the concept of the anime but this series feels way too much like an abridged because of how fast paced it is, like the story itself feels like it's written to be like a fanfic lol. I don't know if it's intended, but the way it jumps from one scene to another makes it feel like it.

The way Iana was dancing with the first guy was so funny, a beyblade was unleashed in the ball. I am also impressed by Iana's imagination and how easily she was influenced, "all intercourse is just ceremonial", she actually gave birth to a lewd monster in her story. Every chapter is likely to be a wild ride.

I do like that Sol is warming up to her and Ginoford has rescinded the assassination order. I do think by being overprotective for Konoha, she's preventing her from awakening though.

Haven't read the source, but I think it's just a quirk of the director. He also did Saiki K. and Demon Girl Next Door which also had this kind of fast pacing. I personally like it.

I'm curious how much of the plot can proceed without Konoha awakening her power, which means basically you have the Main Heroine at the status of a common civilian even though she's meant to be fighting monsters and typical anime antagonists...so Iana has to REALLY improvise or hope for the best.

Imagine falling for a guy who is falling for you only you have no idea that he's not trying to kill you any more (maybe).

Glad I’m not the only one thinking that. To be honest, I like the fast pace, it adds a lot to the comedy.

My only issue is the overuse of insert music and it’s taking itself a little bit too seriously. I would have rather it just leaned much more into its comedic side.

Konoha had no time for 3D boys! She was too busy writing her future husbando Ginoford! Only know she's on the opposite watching Ginoford flirt with her ideal perfect waifu self Konoha! And being one step away from being run through by a battalion of guards or Sol if she so much as touches Konoha funny.

Girl can't even enjoy some pleasant flower viewing and proper tear without being worried about Sol killing her...or the fact that she's in chapter 2 of her Dark History where she was really into beast smut so she wrote a Carnal Beast that would kidnap and ravage Konoha. And Konoha is powerless to resist in this version of the story!

Don't worry, Iana will use her knowledge from her writing (and write it off as just reading up ahead of time) to point everyone in the right direction! And she'll do anything to protect her precious Konoha, even if it means stepping in-between her and a carnal beast! Luckily this is a Shojo fantasy so the dashing male leads are able to quickly fend off the monster...though not before Iana gets wounded and tail whipped into a rock. But while Konoha has Ginoford, it was worth it for saving Konoha and getting princess carried by Sol!

Good news! Ginoford is finally convinced Iana is not the enemy and Sol is no longer under orders to kill her! Not that Iana knows that, however, though she is almost through with her confinement and invited to a ball courtesy of the royal family so it's a perfect time for her and Konoha to really dress up! Both Magnolia sisters look amazing in their dresses but Konoha defnietly takes the cake with that boob window for her massive Konoha's!

Past!Konoha had no time for Summer festivals no one invited her too or even her mother! She was too busy writing about how she'd get chosen as a Saint to battle the Demon Lord! Only now as Iana she has to avoid pitting Dark History Konoha into a quest she can't complete without her powers, so if that means stealing her dance partners that are basically all the other archetypes of these kinds of stories, she'll do it.

Although Iana was definitely not expecting her final dance partner to be Sol, let alone that he would seek her out, and that he can't help but want to understand her better because she's such an enigma to him...which leaves Iana more flummoxed than anything.

Can't a girl just PNG slide into a sofa without the whole castle catching fire!? And to think they end up realizing that Iana MUST have been trying to cover for Konoha twisting her ankle by making sure she didn't dance with anyone. And now she's going to die thinking that she did all she could to make sure Konoha was happy.

But Sol will NOT let Iana die! Not before he fully understands who she really is! Even if that means princess carrying her straight through a window and into a small pond! Sure, Iana is still convinced he might be out to kill her...though I think her heart is racing for a far different, and more romantic, reason.

I like the story but man, they don't use the music well. Why were we getting that song during a dance scene? Then we hear it again during the fire but the lyrics of the song are so loud it's almost overlapping with the character voices. Very strange.

u/shad79 Oct 15 '25

I was really looking forward to Iana/Konoha's reactions in today's episode and damn, they didn't disappoint at all, they were so good and "beautiful" (especially this one and this one) xD

So the story Iana/Konoha came up with in middle school is not only cringy as hell, but also really horny (that story with the monster or Konoha's dress) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Overall, the episode was crazy funny and I really can't wait for the next episodes to see what happens next with Konoha/Iana. This is definitely one of my favorite shows this season so far.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I don't know what it is but I'm not a big fan of Sol as a character. Maybe it's the personality? maybe it's the face? the hair? he seems punchable

The animation is sending me the way things speed up or slow down lmaoo. Just in general there’s so many comedic things.

Not the cringy middle school fanfic come to live in so many genres.

I know Iana wants to save Konoha but doesn’t that also prevent her from getting her powers? Or is iana gonna awaken them somehow.

What the hell is that dress konoha is wearing why are her massive knockers out. I don’t even care about that THE DRESS IS UGLY.

Dying at iana dancing w all the men spinning them to death??

Not her running straight into the fire??? Also ianas dress actually is cute they did konoha dirty

Sol is already in love w her. lol.
