Considering Manaria would assist the protagonist in the game normally to get her together with the men, this case would be different as Manaria and Claire knew each other as kids so there's a lot more affection there.
Tho the method is rather underhanded with all that provoking, I guess it's more Manaria's way to really test Rae, but clearly it doesn't work as she probably intended 😂
It's gonna be interesting seeing how they're gonna patch things up tho

That Manaria is just a bitch getting Rae and Miss Claire to separate and that scene at the end was just heartbreaking

Is that what you got even after seeing manaria talk about rae's half baked feelings? Her intention was to stop rae from running away so she pushed her to maximim limit..... once claire is taken away manaria expected rae to pursue her wholeheartedly but instead she started to sulk thinking manaria has ill intentions and hurt claire with her words (she already knows from the game that manaria wasn't an evil character but an ally)

The creators contradicted their own story and character.

Rae would fight a duel for Claire, but Rae would never leave Claire’s side no matter what.

So having her “quit” as Claire’s servant is contradictory.
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

The ending was really tough to watch. I know what Manaria is doing for them but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Honestly very predictable at this point especially with the awareness of this being the second to last episode. Not necessarily bad, but still... Manaria's italian dub voice is the same of that hate sink yandere character from Komi Can't Communicate and this detail made her even more... sketchy.

With Rae getting less and less interesting by the episode, it was mainly my OCD-like obsession to see how it ended that kept me going, but Manaria made it a bit more interesting, fortunately.

Does nobody else here see that Manaria means to *help* Rae? She's forcing Claire to admit that she cares, and even Rae quitting is probably for the better because they can then reform a relationship on more equal terms.

Yeah, it's obviously the standard rift that always has to happen before the inevitable reconciliation at the end of every love story. The title of the final episode gives it away.
@Yngvarfo "help" what? she's going way overboard with the provocation just to make Rae battle her then she can humiliate Rae in front of everyone. Let's say if she's really trying to help Rae, she won't say something like "So this mean Claire is mine now" and acting way too chummy after the battle, that's just beating a dead horse. I bet in next episode she will say exactly like you said, piss off...

They did it. Finally they broke it. They finally won. They destroyed someone. Someone who was always happy, who was always smiling. Someone who didn't deserve the hate. Someone who did nothing but help people. Someone he loved with all his heart.

PS: Nooo, there's only one episode left, nooooooooooo!!!!

The ending was great. It all felt very natural, with Rae realizing how she made a mistake, yet not going back on it because of her pride.

Seems like Manaria was right - Rae's love for Claire is half-hearted... for now. I really like her character btw., she actually turns the second attempt at a serious plot into something decent!

The battle was really cool aswell. Dominator is such a flashy and evil spell - I love it!

Good lord, this sure was tiring to watch. Average shoujo melodrama with Manaria's character only appearing in the story to "help" Claire open her eyes to the wonders of lesbianism... via ruining the already stable enough relationship she had with Rae.

And Rae acting all confused/surprised at Manaria's behaviour as if she hasn't played the game like a million times already. Ugh...
And dumbass Claire acting extra oblivious and even hurt as if she hasn't ignored Rae for who knows how many days. UGH...

This was so stupid I could cry.

The typical "I'm here to make the leads realize their true feelings" character, or Manaria was sufficiently insufferable already, but after this episode... I'm glad there's only one more to go after this, because any more of her and I'd have gladly dropped this one.

Nothing is more infuriating than drama for the sake of drama. "I quit as your maid". "Okay, I wish you luck". Lol.. this is the oldest trick in the book.

Cool cool. But still her cousin tho... I don't understand why they added yet another family sus.

Also, Rei is okay with Claire being into the prince but not with her being into Manaria? Sure hope it's because she doesn't buy into the cousin thing either.

Why tf is she actlng like a damn brat. Manaria is literally proving that Rae isn't fully into loving Claire. Rae's feelings are half-baked. there's only one episode left, how is Rae going to comeback from this? On top of everything, Pepi and the other one asked Rae to take care of Claire and she's doing the opposite. She's so freaking dumb.

Really, when you get to this point in the story and see Manaria's behavior, people are going to think she's a gigantic wh*re, but in fact she's not, because I think she moves the story forward more than other characters!
Thanks to the wh*re, the characters have finally made some real decisions! 😆😆

That fight I was not expecting rae to be bleeding that much and tbh I thought since she’s played the game she would have a backup plan to beat Manaria but I guess not considering she’s just too buff I mean homegirl can use all 4 magic attributes😵‍💫

Jesus that last scene after the end credits took me by surprised I was NOT expecting Rae to actually be that hurt that she’d quit who job that she loved so much, seeing Rae this sad hurts☹️☹️☹️😢

I really don’t like manaria... however, I’m loving the melancholic vibe.
And it’s nice how we got a bit more scenes with her that weren’t in the manga (very short ones).

Nice animation for the fight scene. Her “death” was truly more terrifying than in the manga.

I wanted to complain about Rae getting teased too much when she is down, but Manaria is actually an ally, isnt she? She wants to show Claire her own feelings and make Rae have confidence in a possible relationship, instead of beeing half assed about it because she thinks she has no chance? .. Right? Everything else would be too cruel.

Still, that looked painfull. Rae is strong but Manaria is OP.

That after ED scene though. Im crying.

This episode was really good actually. Nothing's been particularly messy in regards to Rae and Claire's relationship, so it's nice to see something actually matter with it.

I even came around on Manaria bc she's actually a total bitch instead of being a "flawless" character with self esteem issues or something boring as fuck to try and make her flawed. Nah, her flaw is just being an asshole
