A land with elves...

Well, this wasn't easy for Sato to marry Nephrites considering she is so shy compared to Hime. Tone of the episode remains the same as the first two episodes though. Because Sato has to marry all the main girls, it was inevitable he'd put the ring on her too. They really put a lot of responsibility onto the guy.

Having dark elves around really adds a touch of perfection to my day.

Satou and his group arrive in the wind country of Romka, where the elves live, to marry Princess Nephrites, the Ring Princess. However, due to her shy nature, Nephrites strongly rejects the marriage to Satou. To make matters worse, Satou is restrained in Romka's prison by Nephrite's brother, Jade. In order to rescue him, a lone elf named Needakitta Granat, a protector of the country's fate, appears before Satou and shows him the Ring of the Wind.

You know what? How messed up is the Elf prince if he won't even consider talking things through? The smart move here would've been to 'marry' the princess, leave her in the kingdom, and just grab the ring. Simple and clean. Usually, I find sibling complexes funny, but this elf genuinely irks me. He manipulated his sister, making sure she'd never leave him, messing with her mind and filling it with fear of the outside world. That guy is just the worst.

Oh, and by the way, Needakitta is hands down the best girl so far, although I thought the blue-haired girl in the ED might give her a run for her money.

Hey, now we have both Horikita and Ryuen in this (talking about the VAs)
Can Satou and Hime please wear something more fantasy or medieval looking than school uniforms? They look awkward in this setting lol
It was cool to learn about the village's history.

Best girl finally here 🙏🏾 Nephrites is so damn cute. Unfortunately, she’s the victim of an extremely overprotective brother and a promise she made to her late parents.

First of all, what a way to treat the literal saviour of your world. Locking Satou up in jail just because you don’t want him to meet your sister. Surely there’s got to be a more diplomatic approach. Normally the sister complex trope in anime is funny, but this dude is just an idiot and extremely manipulative.

And of course his actions have the opposite effect since the elder elf breaks satou out and ends up introducing him to Nephrites lol. I love a socially awkward elf, she’s really cute and innocent. But it’s sad that she’s been forced to stay cooped up in the same area her entire life. When her mom said don’t abandon the country, I don’t think she meant it literally..

Nephrites isn’t the first to be a victim of circumstance though. The elves have a history of forcing duty on people and not respecting individual wishes as we learn from Needakitta’s story about the princess in the past who fell in love with a human. Not sure how well known this story is throughout the country, but they already got cursed once because of being overbearing. Maybe don’t do that again? lol

Even when confronted by his sister and told how she feels, Jade still doesn’t budge. Dude claims he cares about his sister but refuses to hear her out and go along with what she wants. She needs to get out of there asap.

And there’s poor Hime getting jealous because satou found another cutie lol. She’s adorable.

Solid ep

I had completely forgotten about the siscon elder brother. Nasty man.

Nefertiti is here and while I was never her biggest fan, I can definitely see why she's attractive to some.

Began to like Nefritis much more over the course of the episode and good to see that she actually wants to explore the world around her and go to Satou's real world but unfortunately her overprotective creepy brother prevents that and her parents wish. Krystal being jealous was cute and thankfully not in an annoying way where starts to abuse our mc. Also that dark skinned elf is just 😍. Please tell me we'll see her more after this arc.

It turns out it's not easy to get the ring.

Nefritis the elf queen, I think she will be Satou's next wife. But it turns out it's not easy. Damn, that sucks. I hope Satou can do it.

Neither does the way she acts, is cute nor is that "supposed-to-be sad" backstory invokes any feelings of sympathy. It's the plain old way of some meek character doing some out-of-character thing and inevitably falling in love with the protag, though I guess the latter part is already half done.. for very unknown reasons.

Also lmaoooo, his "hImE" and those two people didn't even try to get him out of cell, heck didn't even think about it, when he was literally rotting in there for three fucking whole days.

These elves are very welcoming, they even got Satou his own room and everything, they also have a jester to amuse us with his siscon persona! Jokes aside this was a great one giving backstory on how the elf village got to the point it’s in, as well as what happened with the new elf babe Nefritis’ parents and sister. An upsetting story for sure, and to top it off her brother Jade is an asshole that claims he cares for her but is also hyper restricting, I really do wonder how they plan to break this guy’s hold on Nefritis and the village, it’ll probably have to do with what little progress Satou made with Nefritis already.

The episode wasn’t all doom and gloom tho, there were some hilarious moments like Nefritis throwing up on Satou paired with a great reaction from him, as well as Jade screaming when he heard that Nefritis eloped lol. And there was also that nice bit between Satou and Nefritis where she finally broke out of her shell when asking about his home world, perhaps she broke out a little too much because she forgot she was butt ass naked lol.

We got a both a sister complex and a brother complex this season, insanity.

So they reach the lands of the Elves and Satou gets locked up immediately. He got saved by the elder, Peridot, and he got to spend time with Nephrites. We also got some lore about the kingdom and the curse and why the barrier was created.

He's going to get her ring at some point, it's just the matter of when.

I've read the manga and the adaptation is OK so far, not great but OK.


It's pretty mid but I'll stay around for the "Plot" as I'm watching an uncensored version.

Even the Dark elf fancies a bit of the "ring-king"....

MC Potato-kun will get another waifu in his harem soon enough after all a siscon isn't much of a blocker....

EP 3

Soo last time the elf princess showed up, and now we have to somehow convince her

Ok ep 2 says fifty years ago, though that could be rounded a bit. so nef was only FOUR when her parents decided to use the ring

Soo yeah that was the ep. no outright cliffhanger this time.
Next ep they have to figure out how to convince the prince and/or nef out of this situation i guess.

Nef is...shimabukuro miyuri? curious to see her again. I mean nef seems pretty cute so far.
Because there's still 3 more princesses I'm assuming this will be resolved next ep, and then 2 eps each for the remaining princesses means about ep 10? who knows.

Pretty sure this defies the law of "don't look for logic and reason in anime/manga" but I suggest for them to just ditch the elves for now, skip the ring and go to another princess. They wasted a few days already, and they could have obtained another ring in a much more cooperative country in just as long. Then let the Abyss destroy the stubborn elven country and just retrieve the ring later on from the enemies later LOL But again, this is anime/manga and this is development for all it's worth.

But anyway, that ending song by Alia is still freaking fire

I think I'd set my expectations a bit high with this show.

I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's been rather mediocre so far.

One plus I'll give it is that it is at least a part of this season's positive trend of "Girls' breasts have nipples"

I actually like how this anime looks visually, although I understand it might not be to a lot of people's liking. The fanservice moments also are actually good looking and appealing, which is something I was disappointed about from Chained Soldier where they don't even make the ecchi scenes look good and appealing.

At least Nefritis has slowly opened up to Satou even though she followed her brother during the confrontation. She does have a difficult decision to make though considering what her mother requested but maybe she'll realize for the greater good she should follow Satou.

So far this series has a mix of serious moments followed by gag comedy and ecchi scenes, kind of unique.

so her man was locked in prison for 3 days and her reaction is... "lucky you, getting rescued by a beautiful woman." nah that's not jealousy, that's apathy in his well-being and just doesn't want good coming his way, she had no reaction to why he was locked up and throughout the three days she didn't protest about it at all? like not even once? what the actual fuck! he was in bed with another woman he could have swayed his way in and slept with her but you know what he did? he told the elf princess that he is in love with his wife and that's everything he's doing is for her and collecting the rings is just what it takes to stay happy with her, and her ass is like "you been in jail for 3 days? how dare you get saved by a beautiful busty elf and get on good terms the elf princess!!? your ass was supposed to stay in there until i do smth about it which is like maybe after a month give or take i liked the hospitality i basically forgot about your dumbass, she doesn't deserve him that's what i genuinely believe.

To marry the shut-in Princess Nefritis, she's kinda of a hopeless candidate as foretold by Jade Romca, her older brother...who has kind of an insane sis-con personality who thinks that Satou is not ready for her.

The Elder dark elf Peridot comes helping Satou and revealing the reason why Prince Jade entrapped all elves, but the Wind Ring Regalia was supposed to be on the princess, except that Nefritis herself also believes in that fact, which the ring has been held by her parents ever since to protect the elves with the tempest wall. Satou is left with her after the Elder brings them both together and "eloped" out of the place. Given that Nefritis never had the chance to step out of her palace's walls, she gets interested in Satou being common with her since they come from different worlds, helped by the Elder that she wants to explore outside the palace.

But she has to make the decision herself and convince Jade that Satou is not the Ring King he saw before, but despite that, Nefritis still retreats back to Jade after being convinced of their parents' wishes. This is held by the fact of Peridot's experience that the eldest princess who eloped off with a traveler, she's the reason why Romca Village is in this situation for the protection of all elves, as per written by her and Jade's parents as they paid the price for petrifying themselves.

The Maiden of the Ring of Wind is a rather complicated case, so how to circumnavigate over this situation?

The fear of losing their ring of wind caused the elven kingdom to have an even greater loss of three royals. A tragic flashback. Even more tragic is that the elf elder Peridot isn't apart of the harem.

Yeah ngl the author did a good job with Jades character bc I sure do hate bro and how he treats his sister all off a self impulse of him coddling his sister from the world

Ok the dark skin elf was such a nice touch to see in an isekai bc you RARELY see those in fantasy isekai type shows + seeing Nerfritis’s titties caught me SOOOOO off guard omg they were nice asf and huge, I’m loving this anime more and more that I watch this this is why ecchi anime is the best😫🙌🏽 🔥🔥🔥

bro's got serious control issues. I can't believe we just sat there and watch as he spewed all his bs about ignoring her will. Plus finding out what they did to the elder sister too, I hope this whole village burns to the ground by the abyss like the curse said.

The prophecy of the Ring King doesn't seem to make any sense if the holder of these rings aren't willing to part with them when the time came. Honestly, I would've thought each nation that held a ring would've had some competition to decide who the ring king would be.
