Kaoru really doesn't seem like the type that's ready for a marriage. She's too free spirited and curious about the world around her than settle down with a family. I do find it amusing how she's taking work already.

Not going to lie, I think she has one of the charismatic personalities of this season.

Kaoru's life at Bardot's seems to be going better than before.

One day, Prince Fern visited in disguise and took a liking to her, inviting her to a grand ball at the palace. Little did she know, this ball was no ordinary affair; it was a crucial event where the prince would choose a potential queen. However, Kaoru had no intentions of getting married, let alone harboring any affection for Fern. Despite this, she was displeased with Fern's unilateral summons, without even explaining the situation. Determined to take matters into her own hands, Kaoru devised a plan.

I admire Kaoru's candidness. She doesn't waste time on empty formalities; she's got a life to lead. Her insights about becoming a Queen or a noble are spot-on. And the way she's treated? It's utterly disrespectful, showing no consideration for her as a person with her own agency. I'm glad she confronted the guy about it. And at Bardot, she can set her own rhythm, simply selling goods, tending to the shop, and even cleverly building her own network of resourceful young spies.

Karou's taking work already eh? We'll see how it goes.

She really is a great charismatic character. Best for the season is going to be Maomao from The Apothecary Diaries though!

Going to drop it. I actually don't like the main character all that much. First she does things that obviously would attract attention, especially from the nobles. And then the way she handles it just seems unbelievable and would never work in reality. Talk to nobles like that and your are way more likely to find yourself shackled and in a dungeon (doesn't matter if you are right). Plus, why even go? Why not just ... not go? Causing a scene like that surely is worse than not going. Plus, she seems overly manipulative and I have never been a big fan of that kind of tactic.

And this feminist trite keeps on delivering!

The MC is arrogant, annoying, doesn't want to attract attention but then does everything in her power to attract said attention. And once she does it's social justice time!

And her over inflated ego & buffoonery comes out to play & deliver some lame asf social justice speech, like she does at the castle. And gets away with it ... 'cause it's a wet feminist power dream & trip anime. Fudge it!

The final part of the episode was too rushed, as someone who haven't read the LN or the manga the sudden creation of the "Eyes of the Goddess" doesn't make sense to me, even more because it seemed like Kaoru did not know what to do yet in the new world apart going messing around and travel, then he suddenly decided to become a sort of healer masked hero helped by a bunch of children... XD
That said it is an interesting and cute series but the pace of this adaptation is really weird.

@Mirality

Yeah I was confused as to whether I zoned out and missed something when the pickpocket child suddenly became her personal assistant..? (and then took a sec to realise it just had an underexplained plot jump).

Loving the fun vibe of the series so far (kind of "Kuma Kuma" feeling and fun so far), and the noblewomen crying when she gave the speech about noblemen cheating was 😂

I overall like the show. What others have said is true, it's unrealistic for something like that to happen in that kind of setting.

They would have tried capturing her for disrespecting royalty, not that they could with her powers but they don't know that.

What she said to them is very true but she is manipulative as well, obviously when she pressured the goddess for powers. Coming from that background of being overwork makes it understandable and she wants a easy going life.

Kinda wish they didn't skip the whole thieving part that was jarring.

The story has some holes with how the character is trying to avoid attention, her common sense is all over the place. she's grounded and knows her stuff but makes obvious mistakes like with the potion bottles.

I do like that she isn't a push over and justs lets people control her and sway her judgement.

hmm... this show has NOT gotten past the 3 Episode Rule. if i had anything else to watch... i thought i'd cleanse my palate with potion gal. annnnd yep, just as bad as the first two eps.

if it was an OK story (nope this one is well WELL below average) that had bad visuals (yep this show is only a smidge better looking than FUGLY) ... OR if this show had a much BETTER story and this same lack of visual appeal... i would watch it. but since it fails the APPEARANCE metric and STORY metric... i'm permanently sticking this one On Hold. if i'm absolutely positively lacking in entertainment... i'll pick this one back up again.

frankly, i could take a 23m 40s NAP and be happier than i am right now after watching this episode.

I understand that Kaoru went to the party as to not cause trouble to those that she was working with at the restaurant but I also thought she went a little too overboard with her speech, as if modern day culture would be accepted during medieval times. I just assumed they were so stunned that she had enough time to escape before they thought of arresting her.

Anyways, it looks like she found a comfy job but the sudden change from the pick pocket boy to helping her as part of the "The Eyes of the Goddess" was indeed jarring and made me think if I missed something.

I'm really starting to question Kauro's common sense. She's in a medieval world, and produces glass products that would be difficult for modern masters to make? Seriously she doesn't realize that doing so would cause people to raise their eyebrows. She's literally setting herself up for hardships just like her counseling service at the restaurant.

@Raistlarn I don't think this is common knowledge, and going so deep into medieval subjects isn't for everyone. If she was an otaku like other isekai mc's she would know all this.

Dude 100% my thoughts!
If I buy a "lose 30lbs in 30days" book and all it has is how to take care of your finances and change your oil what the fuck did I buy the book for!

Not only does it have nothing to do with potions, it's just fucking boring!
This is another turn your brain off and look at the cute girl.

So fucking bad! Hell have her pretend to be a goddess and rule the world through potions, have a problem pop up in each episode and have her solve it through potions like a detective show or something. But at least show us the idea you put forth in ep1 of you can make any potion you can imagine, she hardly uses potions for anything!

Whatever I'm out, I finished saving 10,000 gold a couple seasons ago but I promised my self never again will I waste time on shit filler anime.
There's too much good stuff to actually watch!

To all you that keep watching this abomination....you need Jesus!

Kaoru getting a summons to attend the invitation, she decides to settle her debts and leave without any regrets. That said, Prince Fern already having decided on Kaoru before his potential marriage partners, she's just hiding in plain sight as a maid, and just provided the evidence as she was given. But no matter, since Kaoru is here, Fern has already decided to wed Kaoru, but a commoner in a noble setting, Fern's already asking for the worst and jumping loops before asking for her approval. much less becoming a future queen and losing her role as a potion maker. Kaoru ain't wrong to lay the realities of nobles, though that's her ideal marriage, which Fern is just taking advantage of Kaoru and making her look like a fool. Kaoru being in the capital is bad business, and at least she got her free life back.

Kaoru opting for a simple live-in job with T&Cs at the Meyer Workshop, though the workshop itself is facing its own barrage of issues as well since their turnover rate is high. Being an attendant is her lifestyle, and she cleans up the workshop in no time while helping them create perfume bottles to sell for money, all while settling down with her powers. That said, even in the kingdom she lives in, is full of commoners living in poverty with kids having to steal to make a living, and Kaoru has to parade as a facade to help children and their families.

At least Kaoru is satisfied doing the work behind-the-scenes, compliments to her.

Oh man, this anime is not going well.

I found Kaoru's scheme of misunderstanding the invitation to be a waitress gig amusing, especially to burn that viscount dropping off the invitation and package, however what followed was cringe. I'm okay with her wanting to tell off those nobles, but the way she did it and how they reacted was so unbelievable. If they didn't use force on her while she was spewing her ideological rant to shut her up, they would have surely not allowed her to run off. Even if what she was spewing was true, and she spewed it in a less condescending way, all the nobles there would already know the reality of noble life and traditions such that it wouldn't have been a revelation. Kaoru handled it so tone-deaf it's shocking, in other animes nobles would be pissed at commoners for just talking out of line, or attending noble academies on sponsorship; here they're not only being directly insulted but their whole way of life is being shit on. It's so bad that surely her restaurant friends will be ran out of business for association, if not executed. Kaoru said she only attended the castle not to get them in trouble, what she did was way way worse than not attending. And then for some inexplicable reason, she had to depend on the pity of the guard to let her leave the town. If she really had to rely on a guard to look the other way, it would mean she didn't have a well thought out plan to begin with, and aught have been in some serious trouble as a result.

Then the last part of the episode doesn't make much sense. Why does Kaoru even look for a job instead of working for herself? She could do commissions on her own like how she figured out the glass bottles. She didn't really need to be doing the cooking and cleaning for this shop, I guess her employment was a ruse for networking? And then the stuff she's doing with the orphans, why would she let the orphans know about her powers even? She summons potions out of thin air right in front of the one who stole from her.

Don't even compare this anime to Saving 80k Gold, I loved every moment of that anime. This anime is getting pretty tough to watch. I'm stubborn and will probably stick it out to the end, but I so hope it gets better from here.

Yup...

Prince Dude's a bad Lolicon, he literally wants to force a little girl to marry him...

Kaoru should just get the actual Goddess to destroy this dude... he's going to be VERY dangerous in the future... imagine if he keeps on trying to get things he wants by force, and even end up with a harem of little girls forced to be his personal toys.

.

NOW, there's the good guy, the gate guard, where his action says "Fuck the nobles" and gives Kaoru items to leave safely even if he didn't need to give anything.

.

Also... Kaoru just goes around looking for easy-going jobs huh...

But she somehow keeps on ending up as "maids" huh...

.

"This world is wrong"

It sure is...

Bad Lolicon Princes, Little Kids forced to commit crimes to survive...

MC is also a Lolicon... that likes to rub cheeks of little girls, LOL...

And now she's end up as a gang leader of... Kids...

She wants to be quiet but she makes a scene by passing for a maid while she totally knew she needed ofrmal attire (since she changed it...) If it was a reallistic setting she would already be in prison or even dead for crime of lese-majesty anyway... and grey haired dude wasn't even that bad, I fel lbad for HIM, she should know her worth and what would happens before it happens! she's suppose to be intelligent right ?

I swear this scene was so cringe I dropped the anime before even finishing the episode. Maybe I'll just watch it when doing something else on my second screen to use it for my AWC 2024 but oh boy is it annoying! totally failled the 3 episodes rules for me.

Clearly a case of insufferable MC for sure!
I had a bad feeling about it since the first episode before she even was reincarnated (just the way she was talking to the goddess and her inner dialogues), but I thought it was too soon to tell... I was wrong.


The loli charadesign style for adults women (even one the boobs as we can see with the ladies here) is already cringe enough but if you add her personnality this anime is really not pleasant to watch.

This is so cringe. She did all that in front of a nobles, basically ruin the entire kingdom. Might as well not to go, but then she's going for a jerk route.
She doesn't want to attract attention but all she does are definitely attract attention. Smh

And we skipped the part where from pickpocketing to one of her minion. Wtf?

Who's the creator of this story? I bet she/he are a feminism to the core thinking this kind of asspull are a dope move.
It would all make sense if the creator is a women.
