| Initially, I wasn't too fond of Yuu, but it turns out he's the only aristocrat with some common sense. I suppose I'm beginning to appreciate him now. The Bauer Kingdom has long been governed by powerful clans who ascend to royal and noble positions, collecting taxes from commoners to maintain peace in their territories. However, with the rise of magic, this equilibrium has begun to crumble. Despite this, discrimination persisted, leading discontented students to initiate a movement seeking equality. Amidst the tension between nobles and commoners, Deed, a servant in service to Yuu, inadvertently inflicts a severe magical injury upon a commoner activist within the academy, further escalating the already strained situation. Why should commoners bow to the aristocracy when, over time, the gap between the classes keeps narrowing? That's why we've embraced equality-based societies in most first-world countries today. It's unexpected that this yuri romance is delving into class issues. I'm not a fan of the current direction; it feels like the commoners are being unfairly portrayed as villains. Hoping Rei becomes more proactive, and the story takes a different turn. Damn, this has turned into quite a thrilling narrative. And of course, can't resist those headpats, lol. |

| okay now that was an intense episode |
 |
| Wow this episode was so intense What with the Commoners in almost full revolt against the Nobles and it seems Lene is not what her and Miss Claire thought she was |
| The animation quality dropped so drastically this episode I thought I was watching an anime in the 2000s. Interesting turn of events though. |
| Oh we LOVE a good forbidden love story 😩 wow, I was not expecting Lene to turn out to be an Opp, especially not for THAT reason. She and her brother being full blown lovers is such a wild twist on top of an already intense episode with the commoners on the verge of revolt. The hierarchy of the kingdom is about to change and honestly, with the way commoners have been treated, I fully support it. Dude really almost beat someone to death and he gets a slap on the wrist in the form of a house arrest for a week?? Like Rae said, imagine the outrage of the roles were reversed! No matter the timeline or world, nobles can’t help but seal their own downfall by abusing their people. Going back to Lene’s big reveal, I do think she really cares about Claire, but she’s just in a very tight situation with hiding her relationship with her brother, pressure from her father etc. It’s clear even after everything happened Claire still wants to help her too! Hopefully they all get a happy ending. “We can call this the first labour of love of our new life together” funny how both this and Hoshitele had such cute Yuri ending scenes today lol |

| Damn, I wrote Lene's peculiarly strong infatuation with her brother as your typical brocon anime trope behavior – I wasn't expecting it to be mutual. It's interesting and oddly refreshing to see incest used as a plot device like this instead of just being a taboo fanservice thing. |
   |
| WTF was that. They made such a point of having a discussion about how homosexuality is totally normal and not to be frowned upon, and now they're comparing it to incest? This plotline came out of nowhere. |
| Cool beauty, world class genius, unbeatable charm! I'm unstoppable! |

They're not comparing those two. Putting something into a common category (forbidden love in this topic) isn't the same as comparison.
| @TimeFliesAway Mm, I'm not sure I agree. I think the comparison is implied, exactly because they made it into a point about emphasizing that while "forbidden", homosexuality isn't something bad even if it's frowned upon in-universe. Talking about homosexuality in the same sentence and putting incest into the same category makes it seem like they're trying to present it as something other than messed up. I did a little research to see how the show handles it afterwards, and even if it doesn't explicitly approve of it, this put me off so much that I'm dropping the show. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

This is a fantasy setting that is based off of olden times. Probably Victorian but someone more educated can say otherwise. One thing about olden times is that both incest and homosexuality existed a lot more regularly then now. However both were still forbidden, but still happened, and would be frowned upon by most people. If you hate the show to the point of dropping it, then cool. Too bad that a single line of dialogue with make you drop the show. Just know that this happened back then too. |

| I did not expect the incest, but man, I trusted the maid 😭 It’s always cool to see Rae be a badass. Genuinely really good plot development this episodes, it went down very fast. Can’t wait for next episode |

| Things are starting to get political with the current plot, lots of stuff to do with the commoner movement and the church, and it’s another one of those church bad situations but it’s making for an interesting plot. I gotta say I wasn’t expecting the twist with Lene, I did see Lambert being part of it coming tho, and the man is in love with his sister lol, not the first time I’ve seen it and in this type of setting it’s not that crazy either, but I still didn’t see it coming. And damn son, that chimera is actually kinda scary, I really like that design despite the fact it kinda stands out in this cutesy show, Rae and Claire even had time for banter while fighting it so there wasn’t a lot of tension but still very cool. Definitely looking forward to seeing how they deal with the chimera once it unthaws as well as how the current situation develops, I’m thinking it might have a lighthearted ending. |

| @RandomPersonA Hey now, 2000s anime slap lol, but I get the sentiment. |
| I did not have incestual relations being part of the cause behind the commoners revolt on my bingo card sadly. |
| Unless they announce a sequel to actually finish with , I will be super disappointed. We will only reach the middle of the arc next episode. |
 |
| Ahahaha the author literally said "normies DNI" People were complaining that the show is "too woke." Well, it's so ahead of the curve that normie sjws are going to be pissed because they're bigoted against incest. I'm so glad they don't get to have nice things. I also love that the story is actually a political drama as well as a romance |
| I'd be an edgelady apologist, if only I were sorry |

| That's a good point. I don't know what time period the show is based in, but I didn't really stop to consider it either since this was just a feel-good afternoon anime for me I don't hate the show, nor did I ever claim to. I'm just personally uncomfortable with that kinda stuff. That's it. |
| Cool beauty, world class genius, unbeatable charm! I'm unstoppable! |
| For the first time, this anime got a bit "dark." Things are heading in a direction that Rae didn't expect! Will everything be alright? |
 |
| Well, the crack is here and the true colour of the show/ story begins to show up. And this also marks the turning point of the show from silly comedy into a serious political drama. Rare Lily spotted. Rae and Claire are getting closer together, and really love them for their journey as a couple up to its final arc later. From the preview, I assume we would get 3 episodes for the Love Scales arc, which is great but also disappointing. I wish they follow the LN so we could get the next season sooner. |
  |
| Interesting turn of events for this current arc. Things sure got intense with that guy actually being burned alive and the revelation of the incest relationship between Lene and her brother. Only problem I had with the episode is that the comedy bits now feel kinda jarring considering the serious tone of everything. |
| That was quite intense! Rae was really cool when she faced Lambert! This episode had some problems though. I'm still a bit lost on what exactly Rae knew would play out in the game and what's new to her. They also squeezed so much backstory on the Aurousseaus in my brain, I'm still not sure what exactly threatend Lene. Or was it just the Incest? Speaking of Incest, I'll judge that once the arc is over. It is something in usually hate in anime, but I do believe it can actually be a decent plotline for some drama if executed properly. The question next episode has to awnser is "Is there a good reason Lambert had to be more than a Siscon?" |
| Did not expect the hard incest twist there. To be honest, I didn't even know who the guy was and I could care less about the maid. I'm just here for Claire x Rae and the Nobles x Commoners. This small bit doesn't affect my enjoyment of the series. As long as it stays as a small bit and the incest doesn't get focused on too much. In the writer's defense, nobles throughout history seemed to really like banging family members, lol. |
 |
| A sign of a good otome story is a heck of a twist! The serious nature of the story coming out was bound to happen with how much Rae was dreading it. I hope Claire gives Rae a major love boost. |
 |
| I think this episode was pretty interesting... especially because the fact that Rae's knowledge about the game is out the window, sure she knew about the incident with the commoners, sure she knew about Lene and Lambert's relationship... but then this masked guy appears and suddenly her sense of control is completely lost, and that's going to probably make her realize that this is no longer a game, but her new real life. |
 |
| Probably the most intense episode so far. Yuri is life, but damn, incest is wincest. |
| I didn't realize that wands could be modified to essentially not be controllable so if Rae can somehow prove that Lambert modified it perhaps this incident will calm down, provided that Lambert gets a just sentence. |
| Phew quite a bit going on here now. The incestuous love bit wasnt needed for the motive to make sense so I dont know what it is doing there, unless they will expand on that for it's own plot path to actually ake it more part of the story which I could see possibly happening but I dont know. Seems like Claire is warming up to Rae even more though still not clear if it is purely platonic or she has been just a little gay all along.

Yes they are just so much side character feeling i dont think anyone cares whether they are good with or against this development |
