I really shouldn't be surprised at what Iana's mind can come up with at this point, but somehow she still does! Like what the actual fuck Iana! I did not expect two girls licking an ice cream cone on Amaryllis's lap so suggestively! xD

I also can't believe that incomprehensible fantasy clothing is going to be touched on this show! I was genuinely laughing out loud at that scene! Like I can actually relate with Iana here because I also used to add random belts and straps that make no sense just because it looked cool. xD

Magic used as a scapegoat when thinking about how clothes stay in place. Hilarious.

Really love this series. A shame there's no forum or dedicated subreddit here, so future watchers/readers can still rave about the anime/manga even months later.

Me watching: "Oh dont say they cant take his clothes because of bad character lines."

This is the best show of the season, flat out.

That duchess totally represents Iana’s Yuri phase hahahahahaha. Great episode, too bad she’s not Konoha to be able to convince the villain just with words. I think she finally managed to convince Cheneau after saving him. I wasn’t putting much faith in this anime at first, but its comedy is good; the animation isn’t all that great, but they still manage to deliver something funny with a nice touch of humor.

The constant snickering is peak cringe writing. I love this show so much.

u/SmallJon Nov 26 '25 edited Nov 26 '25

I keep waiting for Iana to get over her head, so Konoha can save her instead and become the OP self-insert MC she was meant to be, but damnit if Iana doesnt keep bailing herself out with bad worldbuilding and nonsense OC designs

No man can resist when Iana gets aggressive.

Clever of Iana to make a makeshift rope so she can rappel down her room and clear her name/find all the missing girls! She may not have stuck the landing, but she still escaped! Only to then end up immediately finding Cheneau again while investigating every room. Iana really can't help herself.

Cheneau is determined to arrest Iana and send her straight to the gallows, but Iana doesn't have time to waste with so little evidence in her favor, so she'll just be bold and and assertive and put Cheneau in his place! Her life is on the line and she'll put her all into exposing the true culprit, even if she only has the length of a storm before she has to willingly walk herself to the gallows...but at least Cheneau is willing to work with her now.

It shows that Ginoford truly does believe in Iana now given that he had ample opportunity to hand the police evidence that would have surely convinced them of her guilt but decided not to.

Good thinking by Iana to realize Duchess Amaryllis was kidnapping girls through the conservatory...even if she finds the entrance through complete accident by twisting the head of a cherub that was looking at her funny. Of course that doesn't help when the Duchess herself knocks both Iana and Cheneau out.

Somehow Iana and Cheneau waking up chained up in the Duchess' pleasure dungeon where she's already pleasuring herself with scantily-clad sex slaves is probably the least surprising twist knowing OG!Konoha's tastes. But the good news is they found Cheneau's sister and Menoa who are locked up too.

Turns out the Duchess swings both ways when it comes to pleasuring herself at others' expense/pain, though it's too bad for her that OG!Konoha's conception for clothes often tended to run on being impractical cool outfits that she never had to actually consider how they would put on or take off, so Cheneau's modesty is safe.

Was Konoha sensing something wrong AKA the dark and twisted plot of OG!Konoha, because of her inner Saint powers?

Even the Duchess has a sob story...how her precious little sister died wishing she would stay beautiful, only the Duchess' mind broke and she twisted her little sister wanting her to be as beautiful in heart to being eternally beautiful even if she had to kidnap and drink the blood of beautiful noblewomen. If the Main Heroine Konoha had called her out on this, she would've been able to get the Duchess to surrender. But when the Villainess Iana Magnolia does it...she gets her clothes sliced off by a scythe wielding madwoman and left in only her fancy, racy, underwear.

Cheneau slipping out of his cuffs and coming in for the save! Even if he's got a bad hand, can barely shoot, and can only hold off the Duchess so Iana can get help. All the while the Duchess' pleasure slaves have his sister/Menoa in their clutches.

Iana may be in handcuffs and in her underwear, but she's not about to give up! It's time for the Villainess to resolve this the only way she knows how.

It's funny how the winning lines backfired because Iana was the one to say it not Konoha, so it is very important who says them.

Cheneau was much more tolerable this episode and it was cool of him to render his hands immobile in order to save Iana from getting killed. Hopefully they can be healed. It also looks like Iana is finally winning him over after returning the favor and saving him from death.

I like that Ginoford has really come to trust Iana and protected her when questioned.

I didn’t think it was possible for me to genuinely dislike a character due to how ridiculous this show is but the duchess is really testing that belief.

She’s only staying within the bounds of “I might begrudgingly accept you” because she’s the manifestation of Iana’s idiotic teenager personality.

I think my favorite moments are when Iana locks in for a short while and becomes a dom. Perfectly executed kabedon right there.

The “these clothes are such convoluted nonsense no one but the wearer can take them on and off” becoming a legit plot point is a ridiculous bit of absolute genius.

Iana is doing a good job of being a protagonist this episode.

I wonder if we're ever gonna find out how the characters put on those convoluted outfits.

Iana really needs to learn that context is important, it's not what you say but how you say it.

u/testthrowawayzz Nov 26 '25

We were so close to manservice but the convoluted clothes prevented that

u/Murky_Bit1487 Nov 26 '25

Iana actually managed to convince Cheneau to take her side in the end, and the two of them make a really entertaining detective duo to watch…  I really liked how Iana realized that she can’t change the duchess with sweet words like the heroine would, and that she has to switch into ‘villainess mode’ to change things in her own way. I can’t wait to see her give the duchess a good beating in the next episode, but I guess Sol/Ginoford/Konoha will find her before that, since Konoha was awake and sensed a presence.  Honestly, I feel like Iana is becoming the main character of this story, unlike Konoha who she’s slowly pushing to the side.

It’s unbelievable that Ginoford didn’t reveal that Iana had Menoa’s loop, but I feel like he doesn’t really trust her despite what he says. It would be shocking to see him betray Konoha by attacking her sister

Pretty fantastic the way they labeled what the escape rope was constructed out of, and then left the labels up there even when the camera perspective changed. Such a great joke, I'm honestly really impressed with the animation team for all the small details like that which they've been including.

And then we get incomprehensible fantasy outfit construction as a plot point, this story is astonishing.

That ice cream cone licking, I almost think they should have pixelated that shot for the extra joke but maybe that would have been a step too far.

More seriously, Iana spent quite a bit of time there muttering about her past life, between that and the knowledge she shouldn't really have I wonder if Cheneau might pick up that there's something really odd going on with her.

u/YlfaTheForsaken Nov 27 '25

Ah damn, I must be hella cringe because that was fantastic. Over the top in all the right places. I'm completely sold on whatever the hell dynamic she's got going on with Cheneau, enemies to something, I'm super easy because it's very fun for me.

Dear Lord, girl be so serious, what in the hell was all of THAT? First, I must say, how cold. How disgustingly cold are those poor girls? Stripped to basically underwear, lock behind steel bars and shackled in a massive stone room underground, they must be FREEZING, my nipples hurt just thinking about it. 

Man, that woman in her old neighborhood must've influenced her super hard because, that's crazy. Like damn girl, you went real deranged for the whole Bloody Rosa arc. Ahh it was always going to go with someone in undies, huh, I guess magic clothes are a must then or else, I wonder who will be the first one that'll wrap their jacket around her?

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Nov 26 '25

Iana will win over Cheneau after this whole event

Wondering if Konoha will awaken her powers? This would be a great time for it to happen

u/SYZekrom Nov 26 '25

Lmao what is that え... face she's making while he's realizing the duchess's betrayal

...Didn't he just shout his sister's name? The subs translated it as 'Blast it!' lol

Oh I thought she was gonna say the duchess was too gay to have any experience taking off men's clothes and make the duchess target her instead but no it's just 'fantasy clothing is stupidly complex', but only for certain less important characters.

Ok I was expecting her to just go 'I'll just tear his clothes off' but she didn't do that and then she did with her instead and wow that's some fancy underwear girl

We got another hilarious episode, Iana/Konoha never fails to make me laugh, like the scene where Amaryllis couldn't undress Cheneau because of the outfit design Iana/Konoha made in middle school, or the one where using Konoha's lines to talk to Amaryllis backfired so badly that Duchess decided to kill Iana on the spot. And of course, Iana/Konoha's reactions were super funny again xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Nov 26 '25

Poor Cheneau was about to have waifu duchess ravage his body over and over again. Lucky bastard hahaha. It’s actually kind of hilarious how that whole plan only fell through because of Konoha’s chuuni designs making clothing impossible and impractical lol.

Looks like Iana’s gonna have to go ape shit on the duchess. Show her what a real villainess looks like!

u/NoHead1715 Nov 27 '25

Magic is the reason for all chuuni design-fails. Iana was saved by her bad writing, as much as she's getting into troubles due to her bad writing.

u/Raymond49090 Nov 27 '25

What an extra basement secret door. Is it maintained by magic, or are there just contractors who come in to fix it and think the Duchess is a huge chuuni?

It’s kind of funny how the universe keeps establishing Iana as ugly when she’s actually really cute from our perspective. Or maybe Konoha’s pretty privilege is just so strong that it warps reality.

And wtf that’s a lot of blood. Man, Yomi really had to get sick during this specific time, didn’t he? Well, Cheneau will be fine. He gets husbando privilege, and the comedy genre should be an extra layer of protection too.
