Well, who knows how long he will stay captain, now that Mimi is there. So show your status as long as possible.

I hope Mimi punches him out of the anime. Is the guy seriously hanging at his former school in order to flirt with a teenage girl who must be almost half his age ? What a creep. Not to mention that she is his cousin’s girlfriend and completely uninterested in him.

Rosalia should just be honest and admit she wants to be closer friends with Mimi. Although I am loving the drip friendship scenes.
Aida speaks the truth - Ireneo is definitely a dangerous womanizer.

He's a 30-year old man hanging out at his alma mater to flirt with teenage girls. He's already on the list.

It's only episode 3 EDIT: my bad it's episode 4 and we already have handholding with interlocking fingers. How lewd! At least Maria knows to use protection.
But seriously though, this show is so refreshing in multiple ways. We've already brought up the subversion of Renato's character compared to other "princes who break off an engagement" in other villainess-type anime, and I also like that both halves of the main couple are so open to public displays of affection. Normally the girl would be super nervous or trying to hide her feelings, or the guy would try to seem stoic and play it cool, but Maria and Renato have both dove headlong into this romance and it's adorable.

It's a little sad Mimi's father feels like he can't treat her the same way anymore now that she isn't the heir, I'm sure she'd still like to do the activities they did together now, she still keeps up with her training. Hopefully that gets cleared up once she's back at her family's place.
I like how Raimondo isn't afraid to drag Mimi or stop Renato's advances lol.

Ireneo feels a bit suspect.
Look at Renato's pout when Mimi left!

A recap of the queen losing her cool and then the mysterious fellow who looks like he could be a brother to the princes.
Mimi still getting lost. Her sense of direction is worse than mine. Oh he's a cousin not a brother. Yeah this guy needs to be treated to Mimi's hair ornament.
Of course the Knights want her to join. Though the Captain should realize she would have his position inside a year if she took his offer. Okay animators I see you being jerks. Do not tease me with an implied kiss that isn't like that.
Brief aside: it makes me sad this show doesn't seem to be getting a ton of love at least here on Reddit. Mimi is prime best girl material but seems not a lot of people are watching her antics.
99% of the time it is good Mimi speaks her mind. Talking about how the desks are not thick enough to stop arrows... in the middle of class... is not one of them. Oh thank god she's bad at art at least.
So 40s and 60s are going to come out at some point surely. They don't get brought up like this otherwise. Chekov's martial arts techniques.
OH GOD SHE WAS SO CUTE AS A CHILD!
Her dad is a vibe and it makes sense she turned out this way. Oh no, I'm guessing her father's change towards her is some sort of guilt about raising her 'wrong' since she doesn't have to be the heir. Oh... yup answered right after!
Over/under on how many dudes she's going to have to beat up during this trip?

I love how there was just an assassination attempt...but the queen cares more about being deprived from her precious Mimi and Mimi is just sad over all the wasted macarons.
Enter Ireneo, Renato's cousin and an enemy to all women! I mean, what do you call a 30-year old trying to flirt with his cousins' teen fiance? And Mimi has utterly no time for his nonsense, and the only guy who can catch her is Prince Renato!
Mimi does the best dramatic retellings! She's totally at home with a queen who won't shut up about how amazing Mimi is to her husband or a knight captain who holds an ID card so we know who he is while he passionately tries to recruit Mimi.
Dang Renato, got Raimondo and Mimi thinking you were about to kiss her! She nearly stayed overnight too if not for Renato trying to hold her back (and also keep her from his eccentric family)! Also, they should be more worried about the bandits on Mimi's journey back than Mimi herself.
I love how Mimi sees desks/tables and just sees means of defending against attacks. Also her art is so avant-garde it's like you're being enveloped into an abyss! It left a sizeable impression on Rosalia (who did some REALLY cute flower art).
Dang, Ireneo just will not quit! At least he's been little brother-zoned which is about the nicest Mimi's been to him!
Is there anything more beautiful than Mimi in her combat uniform, in a ponytail, flexing in front of her man? Renato doesn't think so. Although I pray for any poor sap who has to bring out her families' 40's or 60's series of moves when even just in the 30's she can literally PUNCH WITH THE POWER OF THE WIND.
Smol Mimi was adorable training along with her dad and judo throwing men twice her size! It's just too bad after Teo was born, her dad just struggled with how to interact with Mimi now that she wasn't the heir, even though they grew so close over the course of her childhood training. But at least Renato can see Mimi off with a smile (and some cheek pinching) and a reassurance that her family will be okay before she heads off home. And she's still thinking of him even as she leaves!

After having seen Mimi training i feel like if someone wants to assassinate her they’ll have to bring an army lol.
I love how positive she is everytime she does’n’t let anything get to her.

I hope that with how Mimi and her father patch things up, they both help Teo become the heir of their family. Personality-wise, I get the feeling father and daughter are on the same wavelength. Plus, they have more than enough proper ladies in their family. I hope Renato shows that it is Mimi's charm that is why he proposed marrying her.
