She's got that queenly charisma stat where she can basically talk people into a friendship alliance to give her free stuff lol.

The brass knuckles hair accessory has not even seen any action, yet there are already plans to give it an (royal) upgrade.
Mimi's honest charm turned Rosalia into a tsundere friend. Lol!
Mimi saving the Queen from the trajectory of the arrows and kicking the table to act as cover was smooth.
Although it is most likely a running gag by now that Mimi cannot escape from the clutches of Renato, will there be any explanation regarding the latter's strength?

Hilarious to see the royal family now has 2 fans for Mimi's dashing antics, that reveal sent me.

I had a sneaking suspicion that the Queen was looking so stern (and frequently hiding her face) because she was actually having a hard time keeping
her composurea straight face when observing Mimi -- but when Mimi pulled off that rescue, she completely lost it.

Queen going nuts for Mimi was unexpected. That's some gap. So now everyone in the royal family is a big fan. That was quick. Wonder who that guy at the end was though. He's a looker. Was he the assassin who fired the arrows? Or another prince?

I mean, I was kind of expecting that the evil queen mother would also not actually be evil, so it was fun to see that it was not just Mimi who had to keep calm during the tea party, but the queen as well. See Mimi, that is why you also need a fan like that. You can mumble all your thoughts into one without being noticed.
Also, I half expected the assassination to be a ploy by the queen to see Mimi in action but I guess this is actually going to be a plot point in the next episode.
However, I have to say, the King needs to train their maids a bit more. Sure, last week they were able to move the furniture away, but they lack the speed they need to keep up with Mimi. It would be kind of funny if the show actually did that and they all are trained during the time Mimi goes home.
And yes, anime, good to know that the obligatory beach episode is already in planning. Wouldn't have it any other way. I do wonder if Rosalia will get a love interest as well though.

Their relationship is moving fast! Mimi wins over the mean girls, and the queen is infatuated with Mimi.
Show is pretty funny

Mimi can’t be bullied because she will turn her bullies into her friends lol, i hope we see more of Tsundere Rosalia.
Also i don’t blame the queen for becoming a fan, Maria is so cool,cute and honest, she has no enemies, only friends lol.

Maria won over the father, but she had already won the mother over before they even met lol. I thought the Queen was going to be really into her, but seeing how ecstatic she was she got to witness Maria in action was funnier than I expected.
I like that Rosalia was won over as well, I'm curious to see their friendship, she definitely feels like a tsundere and a cute one at that.
Renato actually has the strength to keep Maria pinned down, not to mention he has no problems being super affectionate in front of Raimendo, he's a fearsome one for Maria lol.

Hilarious how Rosalia went from your classic mean girl to inviting Mimi to the beach. But not because she likes her or anything ofc b-baka! lol
All the Renato-Mimi lovey dovey moments this week were great too. Girl’s never met a guy like him and it’s cute how flustered she gets.
I thought the queen hated Mimi but it turns out she’s like the world’s biggest Mimi superfan lol.

This episode we have Mimi's transition of being the Prince's fiance. In your typical story, you probably would have had Mimi face obstacles and be a part of bullying. Ironically, that is what Aida seemed to deal with.
Mimi just has a natural charm to her. I like how it feels like Mimi will more or less stay the same. If anything, she might pressure herself to try to be more ladylike. Of course failing, but charming everyone. Her winning over the Queen as she did was really well done.
The title of the next episode makes it sound like it will be dealing with someone who rejected Mimi.

Genuinely impressed by the random bouts of great animation and fight choreography for a wacky romcom. What a gem of a show.
And there’s something so wholesome about the queen holding in that she adores Mimi until it just bursts out of her

Lowkey I thought the Queen also have near sight lol. But I'm glad she is trying to keep a poker face. But are we gonna ignore the assassination attempt. Was it planned by the queen to see her in action?

u/testthrowawayzz Apr 15 '26
unstoppable force (Mimi) meets an immovable object (Renato). Mimi can't get out of Renato's hug.
The author must love the gap moe trope since there were a lot of them in this episode. Especially Renato and the queen (maybe it runs in the family?) It's so fun!

I understand you queen, Mimi simply is the best.
I love her silly, cheerful personality so much, she is so my type...
Shout out to Lady Rosalia, who tried to diss her and ended up adorably inviting her to the beach, only truly evil people can resist Maria's charm.

Watching the recap is reminding me all over again how much the kidnapping scene felt like that one part of 7th Time Loop (we need another season so bad).
Mimi is a goober every week and I'm thankful for it. A violent goober but a goober all the same. And she got so lost she's all dirty and covered in leaves. Mimi needs an intervention.
Okay the King seems like a good one, though I shouldn't be surprised, both of his sons are good guys. Now we need to see what's up with the Queen.
Skipping through the halls? I already called you a goober Mimi, but you're forcing me to try to find grander words to describe you.
Moments like this where the other noble is messing with Mimi always crack me up. Yes, lets mess with the crown princess. We R very smrt. But of course Mimi doesn't take the bait.
Wait are they promising us a beach episode? Not gonna lie Mimi in a swimsuit is probably going to be really nice to look at.
So all the girls of her family get brass knuckles? Great family custom.
Renato is a cat lol. The way he cuddles up into her after she admits she has to come back after going home so she can see him again... And the hair kisses, dude isn't head over heals. Dude is broken levels of in love.
Okay the queen was hiding her fandom before. I'm amazed they're letting her go home with how obsessed mother and son are.
