| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I love how this show is keeping the settings refreshing and around the world. Now they got a museum in Britain and dealing with a lapis gem. Looks like the past still plays an important role in particular for Richard's character in this show. |
 |
| So it wasn't a diamond... best episode so far |
 |
| This episode was so beautiful and full of love. (I especially loved the sunset/scenery, when Richard tried to leave the hotel room through the balcony door.) I'm so happy! Really looking forward to the last two episodes. |
| I wish they would just kiss already... |
| this felt like the last episode |

| So Richard told Seigi: "Just to clarify one thing, I never had "men" as lovers, it was a girl". So this is confirmed to be pure yaoi-bait. BUT We have to admit that their friendship became "gayer" and "gayer" in each episode we watched. AND I kinda love it. Gosh, the thing is cleary made to be ambiguous, and I still feed my fujoshi hopes with this shit, damn it! But I guess this is kinda of the point of BL-bait anime. |
 |
| I'm glad that the episodes have become connected now. At the beginning they seemed to be going with a gem of the week kind of plot, but now that everything is connected the series is a lot better in my opinion. I'm kind of sad that we only have 2 episodes left, I feel like the series could continue. (I'm not sure how much of the completed books we have/will have covered so far we are at 4/9 published?) I don't think that we will get another series, but an OVA would be nice. |

_juno said: So Richard told Seigi: "Just to clarify one thing, I never had "men" as lovers, it was a girl". He said "So far, I haven't had any male lovers" so he seems to be open to the idea. I don't think that makes it bait at all. |
starlightshine said: And now, for the novel content cut from this episode you all have been waiting for: oh dear god thank you for these comparisons. |
 |
| I love that the first thing that Seigi did after meeting Richard was pretty much to confirm if his first lover was a guy. xD I mean, there was no way for him to know before Richard told him because both Richard and Jeffrey used words like "ano hito" and "koibito", which could really refer to either a man or a woman. But now he can rest easy knowing that he is his first boyfriend? lol And thanks to him Jeffrey, Henry, and especially Richard, are free. There is no longer a "diamond" or a will binding them down. But to think that Seigi would try to do something like that... It was a selfless act to help his beloved Richard, but it was also reckless. He didn't think things through, and of course Richard wouldn't be happy with this kind of sacrifice. Good thing it wasn't a diamond at all. I really loved this episode though, Seigi even helped the three of them to make up with each other with the power of his pudding. I mean, they are family and they grew up together. Sure, there was what Jeffrey did because of the will, but I'm glad they got another chance to be together again. And welp, Richard and Seigi pretty much skipped dating and are engaged now. lol Well, at least somewhat officially in Richard's homeland. haha I didn't really like how the episode ended though. I mean, before the scene after the ED because I thought they would be separated for a long time, but thankfully it doesn't seem to be the case. Richard is back! |

| I see, Seigi thought Richard was gay this whole time. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that Richard hasn't denied being gay. After all this homoerotic tension, it would be annoying if they don't end up taking a BL path. . . kind of like No. 6, but with a happy ending. This might sound inappropriate, but I want that pudding! It looks so delicious!! |

| The lapis lazuli of an ultramarine lookalike ended up leading Seigi to Richard in an unknown land. Alas, as much as Seigi is relieved to see Richard, the same could not be said for the latter. And the Yaoi/BL bait of Seigi was debunked in spite of knowing the plentiful history of Richard. However, with Harry and Jeffrey still fighting for the family heirloom, Richard has no choice but to escort Seigi out of trouble, but Seigi being the "hero of justice", decides to take up on the offer instead which ires Richard badly. As magnificent and royal as Richard's family was in sight, thank God it wasn't a diamond (and for God's sake, you can tell by the gemstone shape regardless of the transparency). The joke's on the family members from a cursed will of misfortune. And with Seigi, Richard just exposed all of his wilful shortcomings, but also decides to accept him for who he is all this while (and please just kiss already...). Glad that Seigi's pudding actually reconciliated Richard and his brothers, and in exchange, both returned their individual heirlooms for last words of goodbyes. Really good episode, loved the buildup from the beginning of Episode 1 to now, it was all worth it. What I'm scared of now, is their own post-journeys from here on. Hope the gayness shows though. |

| That was a great episode, and it really felt like a last episode. Though the enjoyment for me was a bit less that I probably should have enjoyed it because first of all, I read the comment section first (huge mistake) and second, I wasn't that into it in the previous episode so I forgot a lot of details from it. But I still like this episode a lot. Also, I'm really confused. Wasn't the condition to marry a traditional English housewife? How come Seigi was allowed to be the partner of Richard then? I mean that's alright with me but I don't understand how the will works anymore. starlightshine said: And now, for the novel content cut from this episode you all have been waiting for: Question, where can you read the novels? Based from this alone, I'd definitely want to read all the novels so far. |

jd2001z said: Also, I'm really confused. Wasn't the condition to marry a traditional English housewife? How come Seigi was allowed to be the partner of Richard then? I mean that's alright with me but I don't understand how the will works anymore. Okay, the NG list was more written in the style of "if the heir marries a woman of Asian descent, they will be entitled to a sapphire". That is to say, there is no mention of the heir being in a civil partnership with a Japanese man, since back during the time when the NG list was crafted, civil partnerships literally did not exist. That was why the lawyer said they'd found a loophole. And as for the novels, there is no official English translation; those bits were taken from a Chinese translation (I'm bilingual). Apologies for that, but if you still want to try your hand at it, I included link to the Chinese translation in the doc. If you can read Japanese though, you can buy the JR novels on Honto, Bookwalker, and other sites that sell Japanese novels! |

I see, I guess the subs from where I watched it were mistranslated cause I really thought he had to marry an English woman. Thanks! Unfortunately I can't read Japanese so I'll just be content with your translations for now lol |

Unfortunately I can't read Japanese so I'll just be content with your translations for now lol Not exactly a mistranslation, but it's basically a long and detailed list of "if the heir marries a woman [not of a traditional English descent] they will get a sapphire" and so the conclusion was to marry an English woman for the diamond. Perhaps the script overly summarised the story? |
|
| damn the yaoi-bait has been ramping up these past few eps lmao. Although I don't even think it's bait anymore it's more like denial at this point but as predicted, another 'marriage' that never went through ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| @starlightshine Huge thank you for the well detailed explanation! 🤗👍 |
 |
| I'm surprised this isn't tagged shounen-ai, because it clearly has elements of it. |
 |
| I have mixed feelings about this. At first, when they were supposed to get married I thought the show took the dumbest direction, but then when the truths unfolded and Richard berated Seigi for his actions and even after the hug I saw it as a good depiction of friendship. Yep, for some reason, no matter how many people see gayness here, I just don't see it in this case. Or to put it in other words, I don't ship them and would like all of this to be a depiction of friendship that doesn't get ruined when touched with somewhat sensible topics. I found it really nice that they can talk so honestly with each other and still maintain some boundaries. A deep connection doesn't necessarily have to be romantic, other options besides romance have value too. In the end though, when they exchanged gemstones... well, it was a meaningful moment. But a bit too much for my liking. |

| So with all that build up nothing happened at all lol. The diamond turned out to be a fake and a happy conclusion to the case. |
 |
| Worst episode so far |
| They really went from friends to partners in life back to friends again there, still confused what kind of relationship Richard and Seigi will stop at because I don't know anymore I'm kind of curious to who the governess is and who Richard's old flame was |
 |
| From the start I was hoping for them to end up with each other, especially bc their dynamics match in a way - reckless and composed (or maybe even the other way around 👀). Tbh, It didn't even feel as baity as some other shows so I hope they do end up together. That jewel exchange felt very endearing to me too. |
| Ara ara the diamond weren't real. |
