Sariphi trying out studying to understand beastkin, though it takes a toll on her. Instead, she wants Leonhart to being her outside the palace's walls, which he reluctantly agrees, though they put on their disguise in order not to stand out amongst the crowd full of commoners. Though Sari finds a lost bat by the name of Bolas looking for his mother, the unfortunate reveal has the crowd up in arms in uproar, creating a scene for Leo to scramble them both back to the palace in a hurry. And though Sari apologized to Leo thereafter, it's the latter who truly enjoyed his day with her.

Sariphi having a heavy head due to the land's miasma, only to collapse, and if not treated fast, her vitality would be lost, and she'd cease to live. Which is where she is brought to the clinic on the outskirts of Tulis to be treated with ambrosia. How? Leo has it all paid while dropping her outside the clinic doors, being aware that to leave her in the beast kingdom, the air would not be suitable for her. Instead, Sariphi's hired as a new assistant while in her recuperation, and the nurse expresses her joy of always welcoming Sari should she still wants to come back. Unfortunately, the rumor that she was from the sacrificial Noel Village starts to take hold, and the clinic is not spared from the danger as well, enough to abandon her once again.

With nowhere to go, Leo in his human form, came to retrieve Sari, and don the ambrosia ring onto her left ring finger, like a proposal. With that, Sari is back in the beast realm, wanting to learn more about Ozmargo and the like.

Hope that Sari will be safe from now on.

Just shows how ignorance and fear can cause people to be so cruel. Here you have Sariphi and the king bringing a lost child to their parent and instead of thanking her, all the mom can do is curse her and say horrible things/have the townspeople attack her. No good deed goes unpunished.

As Sariphi said tho, beasts and humans are alike. Just as she’s not welcome among the beasts, even the humans don’t want her. The dumbest part about that is they never even got confirmation about where she was from before they threw rocks threw the inn and kicked her out. Just stupid.

Age gap is still really weird but that was a sweet moment with the king and Sariphi at the end of the episode as well.

Oh so he'll be in human form all the time in human land, that's interesting, I think I see scars on his arm, wondering what's the cause...

The scars on Leonhart's arms are from cutting himself to spill blood during the ritual so it looks like he ate the sacrifice when in reality he just let them go free, it was shown in the first episode

leo is so pretty as a human but i just can't get past his beast form. don't get me wrong, he's a sweetheart, and i know it's obviously set it a different universe, but i just don't think if i was in sariphi's place id be able to just so easily kiss him in his beast form, y'know? the age gap also kind of makes me uncomfortable as well.

i think im starting to enjoy the show a little more though. i really didn't like it the first 2 episodes, but this one was alright

Incredible. I’m in love with this show. I imagine the concept is pretty of putting for most. But if your willing to look past that you find yourself watching a really adorable show.

The opening slaps also.

That moment when you're neither at home between beasts nor humans. Both sides are really alike.

Being a complete outcast makes the relationship with Leohart all the more romantic I guess. A bit heavy handed, one note and sugary, but I love it so far. Most pleasant surpise this season imo.

New to romance Anime but it seems that this season is a full house of content. Is this unusual for a season?
And yes we humans are shallow minded do any of us fact check anything or just go by the spin!

Y'know what, this anime with the hate characters receive from the rumours that are spread within whole towns and society is a great commentary that no matter what the race, who you are and whatever tf you are, society is fucking shit 😂
I've seen this sort of thing in other anime too with a similar aspect but I can't remember what shows at the top of my head ahahah
And this is why some wars happen as well, due to the fear of others who are different to each other.

I do hope tho that with the princesses appearing next episode, Sari can make some friends because that can be a big step for the misunderstandings to dim down and for everyone to realize coexisting with the other side is fine.
...Kinda just reminded myself of Romeo and Juliet as well with this sorta plot ahahahhahah

Despite how different they appear, the ones on both sides of the border, their families, their friends and their comrades are the same inside.

I have mixed feelings... I know Sariphi is a good girl and what she did in helping Bolas was very commendable but she is really careless... even though she thinks humans and monsters are equal but not all creatures will think the same, she often takes things lightly when the person next to her who will always have to be responsible for her and everything is a King who also has his own fears. Well... still, it's also sad to see her separated from Leo :( because usually they are always together, and Saripihi was also treated badly in that village.

But that last scene! When Leo catches Sariphi before she falls! Aaaaa hahahah really peak shoujo, I automatically paused because it reminded me of the scene in Kamisama Hajimemashita and I giggled lol. Cute.

So Leon has been cutting his arm like an Emo for no good reason? 
All the girls that he allowed to escape were ostracized in the surrounding towns, and even in the event that they had families to take them back, they must had to remain hidden for ever lest the town tuns against their families.... The autor set to be uplifting but end up going super Dark...

The scars on Leonhart's arms are from cutting himself to spill blood during the ritual so it looks like he ate the sacrifice when in reality he just let them go free, it was shown in the first episode

The author fucked big time, the scars are supposed to be seen as physical manifestation of Leo's sacrifice and sarifi is (heavily-handedly written) as sacrifice personified.... BUT in both cases their sacrifices were meaningless. Leo's sacrifice was meaningless because the sacrifices he let go could still never fully return to the human side (as shown on this ep) so they might get to live as outcasts, but we can extrapolate that most died alone in the woods... and sarifi sacrifice is also meaningless because Leo never intended to carry on with the sacrifice. 
this is another classic example of how so many animes would be 3 episodes long if Japanese people could just fu**ng talk about their feelings instead of holding them until they blossom in full blown psychosis

his scars were explained in the first episode! he needs human blood every year to show the beasts that he's sacrificed a human so he cuts himself to get the blood

When I saw the scene in town, all I can think about is "how do the Lizard Man and the Rabbit Woman have a Lizard baby?" They aren't even both mammals.

And Leonhart is half-human. Did one of his parents do it with a beast?

I forgot what's happening in the story: I want worldbuilding, dammit!

Does the manga answer these questions?

That was somewhat of a painful experience she had to go through in that human town. I'm just glad that Leo came back for her at the end of the episode and even found a way to help her fight against the miasma

LoL! This is the thing I was worried since episode 1. Rumors spread like a wildfire about Sari being an escapee sacrifice. What about all the other girls who were meant to be sacrificed but fled thanks to Leo???

98 girls Carl! 98!!! At this point, Leo releasing human girls should be a "rumor" that everyone knows is actually truth.




It's interesting to see beast-people are not really that different from humans.
