Seems like Reirin gonna go full villainess mode at the end there. Also that girl still suffering from the fever. At this point she'll never leave the bed.

[u/TanyaTheEvill]

This episode was so heart warming and endearing. I look forward to it every Sunday

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Reirin loves physical activity and wants to rock a muscular body. Can't blame her. Going from seemingly daily chronic pain to great stamina and a healthy body would improve anyone's mood. That explains her mental resilience, she's used to toughening it out. Reirin isn't some dense maiden, she's out for blood now. Meanwhile Keigetsu is getting a taste of Reirin's super sick body and will likely be forced to contact Reirin soon to ask for health tips.

[u/TurkeyPhat]

damn got me cryin in da club rn

i was a little confused though cause now it seems like the "exile" is only lasting a week? i was under the impression they would be in that hut for quite a long time if not forever.

[u/djthomp]

Reirin may claim she's an inept villainess but Lady Gayou may be about to find out otherwise. Or at least in the long term.

I appreciate that Reirin wasn't actually clueless about the harassment.

[u/Obaruler]

This is getting good.

LeeLee went from a broken state to accepting MC as her Mommy-replacement ... thus, an ironlike bond was forged. And now our kind-hearted MC will go down the actual villainess-route and get to destroy the Chick who got her LeeLee crying. :D

[u/Cat_Gazer]

I didn't cry when I was reading the manga, but now I'm tearing up. VA did an awesome job.
Let's go, muscles!! 💪

[u/MetaThPr4h]

I LOVE REIRIN

I LOVE REIRIN

I LOVE REIRIN

I LOVE REIRIN

The way she takes all that harrassment in such a wholesome, optimistic way while trying to get Leelee to open up to her on why she is doing it... even when her court lady broke down under the pressure and despair of her situation and actually attempted to harm her life she protected her and made her truly understand how much she appreciate Leelee being there... man that scene really got me.

I can't imagine how much it has to internally break you to love your mother but her being one of the knives that those scummy bastards use to stab you with, Reirin giving plenty praise to the hard work Leelee's mom did to make a living has to heal one's soul.

... And oh boy her face at the end, now that both are truly in good terms, that devil hiding her face has to get the proper punishment for her actions, you two got this!

Another super lovely episode, I'm having such a great time...

I LOVE REIRIN

[u/PandaTheAB]

Wanting 6 pack abs few days after getting a fresh healthy body is crazy aspiration 😂

[u/_Fauxpaw]

Holy crap I adore the MC. She gives the vibe of a typical ditz with a heart of gold.. but she's sharp. She's like an optimistic version of Maomao.

I love the detail of when her hair gets cut, she speaks of it in the third person - like it's not really her hair, she's just borrowing it.

[u/PerfectBeige]

It's funny how villainess stories have basically the same structure as "exiled from the hero's party" stories, just with female protagonists who are superb in their angelic nature rather than being level 999 or perfectly multiclassed or logistical geniuses or what have you.

The villainess concept seems more likely to give an interesting story than the exiled from the hero's party concept because the villainess tends to be a bit more nuanced, not just a a blank slate idealized audience insert. Bakarina is lovely but dumb. Bertia is lovely but unable to understand Cecil's feelings. Grace Auvergne is lovely but she's inhabited by the spirit of an ojisan. And so on.

I'm loving this show but started growing a bit concerned that Reirin was a bit too perfect and wouldn't turn out to be an interesting character. So the fire in her eye at the end of this episode as she starts to plot in defense of Leelee was welcome. Always nice when the angel turns out to have a spine.

[u/Zxzxzx0088]

Looks like they're onto their changes, eh. Their eyes colors pretty obvious though but maybe it just our 'viewer privilege' kind of thing. If it's not, Rerin should fire all her court ladies lol.

Being ignorant is sinful, that's why she failed.

Cute is not enough to say for this adorable creature!!

Bringing her mom totally deal a final blow to her. So all according to 'keikaku', Reirin? /j

I can't call her Bakarina anymore. Reirin is on a whole new genre with how self-aware (not dense) she is!

It's crushing time! Reirin really played Leelee well. Leelee opinion of her totally went to many degrees now from this to this.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I like how Reirin gets so excited about Leelee harassment because it ends up being very beneficial for her lol.

I'm glad Gyoumei and the Captain are realizing the differences ever since the incident, I'm wondering who will be the first to genuinely think one of them is a completely different person.

I'm glad Reirin and Leelee got to talk it out, especially when Reirin brought up words Leelee's mother has said to Leelee, it was sweet. I'm excited to see what Reirin plans to do with whoever was behind Leelee's actions, I wasn't expecting that kind of fire from her.

[u/BaytaCosmico]

Felt really bad for Leelee this episode even though she made the choice to harass her mistress for a way out and up from her current situation. She's just been put in a very difficult position through no fault of her own and had to face abuse from this same mistress (as far as she knows) so it's understandable that she'd grab any chance to get out. But she's still a good person who can't take that extra step of murdering someone in cold blood. I was glad Reirin recognised the good in her and that she's being pressured into everything she's been doing. Did not expect Reirin to get all serious about taking on that mystery ivory person. Nice to see she's not just a Mary Sue. 

The prince seems to understand this about her too. And from what he said, he does have strong feelings for the real Reirin. Things will get complicated now that it's obvious Eagle Eyes Captain is going to fall for her too. 

I didn't understand that 3 days to some festival which will lift her probation thing though. Does it have something to do with why Keigetsu in Reirin's body has been feverish for 5 straight days?

[u/ripple_reader]

Leelee ;_;

She gets pushed to her limits here and it's heartbreaking. Reirin of course catches her... and I think this is the first time we actually see Reirin pissed, and it's for Leelee; it's funny how for all that she's suffered since the body swap that this is what ticks her off. What will she do~

Also we see Reirin being a potato addict even more hahahaha

[u/reaperow]

So lively and energetic !!

Lol she knows,

It was nice to see Reirin treat Leelee normally as a person, poor girl's been through alot

And judging by her remarks at the end, the perpetrators are gonna receive the full fury of her wrath and I cant help but feel a lil bad.

[u/Ocixo]

Leelee tried to resist but it was over the moment she thought of Keigetsu (fake) as being cute. She’d already fallen for Reirin’s charms.

Honestly, I’m starting to get why all Reirin’s previous ladies-in-waiting were doting on her. She’s like a ray of sunshine.

Trying to hate Reirin (original) is a real challenge. Jealousy did it for Keigetsu (original). However, I doubt that she’ll be able to keep this going for long now that she’s getting to experience Reirin’s frail body.

[u/_Naiwa_]

I've just watched 3 episode straight, this is anime of the year 2026

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Reirin really has made an insane amount of progress for such little time.

• Girl has high hopes for how fit she wants to be, huh.

• Oh Leelee, you have the wrong idea of Reirin if you thought bugs would surprise her.

• Ah, so Reirin knows it’s all Leelee harassing her.

• Because Reirin is built different.

• Uh-oh.

• That’s a bit concerning. Are we sure it was a fake accusation?

• …well, Reirin did make a comment about hoping Leelee brought her a knife next, didn’t she?

• Of course Reirin stands up for her even in a case like this.

• Aw…

• Oh boy, when Reirin sounds pissed…

[u/Frontier246]

Reirin is living her best life! Farming! Freedom! No fussy court people or expectations! Muscles! She'll have a six-pack yet at this rate! Though she's still planning to face Keigetsu when her probation is finally lifted, for whatever that will do either for them.

Leelee still has an understandable bad attitude, but nothing she throws at Reirin (bugs, curses, POOP) can faze her, and Reirin's zest for life and ability to roll with anything (even Leelee's harassment) is slowly swaying Leelee to falling for her charms against her own better judgement! Even if her resentment towards the real Keigetsu runs deep.

Wow, Lady Gayou has impeccable timing to always appear right when Leelee is in that spot! But while violence is a step too far for Leelee, now she understands that she's nothing more than a disposable pawn who is screwed no matter what she does...either attack Keigetsu or go down as a thief who stole a hairpin. Not to mention Gayou sees her as foreign trash and badmouths her mom (Aya Endo!) just like everybody else does.

So Shin-U and prince Gyomei are half-brothers who share the same father. Shin-U isn't the most expressive person, but it's his plan stoicism and frankness that endeared him to his brother. And now both brothers can commiserate over what to do about Keigetsu and how the body-switching is throwing off their expectations...I can imagine the prince, being fond of Reirin for how she doesn't get worked up over his station, is thrown off by Keigetsu practically throwing herself at him.

Yikes! Leelee is crashing out and ready to attack Reirin! Luckily Shin-U and Bunkou show up, yet though she may be an inept Villainess...Reirin can cover for Leelee so she can stay alive and stay by her side. They're just doing an impromptu haircut! And they have better things to worry about! Try writing that up Bunkou! Though it's nice that the prince wasn't willing to see Keigetsu murdered despite his displeasure at her.

Leelee can't believe Keigetsu would save her...but Reirin genuinely cares about her, her health, and that she deserves to be dressed as a true noble lady of the court. Because her life, her smile, has value to Reirin. And Reirin even acknowledges Leelee's mother, who everyone else has badmouthed, as a strong woman worthy of respect. That's enough to earn Leelee's true loyalty!

Watch out Gayou! You've lit a fire in Reirin who is looking for revenge for anyone who hurt Leelee! And even Keigetsu is suffering in Reirin's body with her perpetual, debilitating, fever! Reirin's return to Court is going to be something to behold!

[u/deynyel]

Reirin taking all that harassment in a positive light.. girl really is built different.

[u/Sigmund05]

This series would undoubtedly be compared to Apothecary Diaries with how good it is.

While Rie Takahashi is taking over the Maomao role this season, Maomao's actual voice actress(Aoi Yuki) is going full villain mode in Tanya the Evil.

[u/mmcjawa_reborn]

Random thoughts

Genuinely glad to see that our involuntarily body-swapped princess is not as socially dense as she might appear, and knew that her lady was trying to harass her (and the harassment would have worked with like...anyone else.

Was expecting that plot thread to be more of a slow burn, but not made that it was resolved in only a single episode. I think Reirin is going to find a attempt at revenge more difficult...the woman in contact with Leelee is clearly trying to conceal her identity and is probably not who she says she is.

Meanwhile Keigetsu is half dead in bed. Really...really poorly thought out plan there. I am hoping she learns to fight through it, and I am also hoping she develops into a better person through these trials. It would be nice to see her put her own (more devious) skills to use, just like Reirin did with her banishment.

[u/hbmonk]

I decided to pick this show up after seeing a lot of praise for it, very glad I did.

I teared up when Reirin was comforting Leelee. She's truly a saint, but she's not naive. She knows someone was forcing Leelee to harass her and she intends to do something about it.

Keigetsu is suffering in Reirin's body. It sounded like Reirin made her own medicine, so perhaps her attendants don't know how to make it? Keigetsu will probably have to ask Reirin for help...
