| Elianna looked great in that red dress. And honestly, this is the most fitting way for a final episode given that she and Christopher has been destind together since the beginning with their feelings. I think Sharon also finally realized everything from what Christopher told her too. A sweet show imo that is deserving for its run. This episode felt kinda magical imo, especially the ending. |
 |
| And they lived happily ever after ... or till another random woman came in between Elliana and Christopher, and our heroine got depressed again that the Prince does not love her anymore and went back to being a sad princess. But other than that, yes, a happy ending. 5/10 |
 |
| Lady Sharon, you are a child! Being called a "piglet" by Chris is nothing! Henrietta's joy was barely contained at Eli calling her "Mother". lol His Majesty showed up! He seems like a noble king. One day Eli will call you "Father". Great finale that was also festive! |
 "to the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." -a magnet |
| Closed all the unfinished political intrigue. The shocking part of this episode is that the King is alive. Those Milulu clams will be extinct if they keep finding more ways to use it. |
 |
| Well at least it fits the ending to put a Christmas themed background with Christmas tree decored thanks to her ink, and of course the shoujo kiss |
 |
| “You are the greatest prince, to me forever and always” oh my god Eli is so damn cute man Chris so lucky. Great finale. Everything was able to get resolved with Sharon and seeing how much Eli has come since episode 1 is awesome. Loved how she explained that all the wealth the nobility have is due to the people and it’s their responsibility to protect them. She’s going to make an amazing queen one day. And then a Christmas lights celebration a few days before IRL Christmas. Zero complaints with the finale, definitely one of the better josei in recent times. I’ll miss Eli and Chris, will for sure check out the LN. |

| The Holy Night's Banquet is still in succession, and Sharon initiating a trade with Christopher for a book that she so desires to read, would it be the Crown Prince or the book that curries her favour? And as much as Sharon laments Elianna being a bookworm enough for Mirelle to take her place, Elianna still has to take ownership because she's the chosen one, and it's not like she reads books for nothing, and using it to help resolve the plagues of other areas, especially those concerning the "Ashen Nightmare", choosing Christopher over books. Most certainly, Sharon has misunderstood Elianna on her own whims, and Christopher helps clear her name of the background work. Oh, and that letter? Despite the Yule Lovers story rumor feeling like it's true, the matter is just as political with the hidden truth coming out to light with Mirelle's Miseral Kingdom settling their own matters. The fairy tale story with the pig is just like Charlotte's Web, but infused with the romantic theme, and Sharon is acquitted of her wrongdoing. Elianna standing toe-to-toe with Christopher, she shines in the specially made dress dyed out of Milulu clams that impresses Queen Henrietta, but also earns her criticisms if Elianna doesn't prove her worth. A good end for Sara too as she's demoted but promoted at the same time to be Elianna's exclusive maid servant, that's fitting. Elianna earning herself a vacation, it's a long-awaited reward, and getting to dance with Christopher, she's on Cloud Nine, even declaring it with a promise and a Christmas-esque kiss that's just as Shoujo-esque as it could. Ehh, I can understand Shoujo a la Fruits Basket enough, but this show was just a snoozefest. There're better options out there. |

| Apart from a small blip in previous episodes due to Eli's lack of confidence, I liked this anime for a good representation of a healthy relationship. The story itself might be forgettable, and the political stuff doesn't provoke much interest, but the main characters were very likeable, and their dynamic reassuring and wholesome. |
  |
| This show was quite comfy. Not my favorite shoujo but still enjoyable to watch every week. |
| Signature. |

Their relationship is cute, and genuine, but I'm not sure I'd call it healthy. Chris enjoys hiding things from her just to surprise her later a bit too much. A little of that can be romantic, but a relationship is primarily about communication and cooperation. |
| |
| To reject a book for Chris, Eli has come far. Lol Chris called Sharon a piglet on her face, that was savage. Eli looked beautiful in red dress. Henrietta being happy when she called her mother was cute. We also got a sweet kiss. Pretty decent romance anime. As a guy who doesn't like watching shoujo romance animes anymore I pretty much enjoyed it. |
 |
| Decent finish to what has been a fine romantic tale. During the I first few episodes, my hype and expectation for the show were a lot more than what it is now, I feel that the middle phase in particular really waned that. Nonetheless, it was nice to see the growth of the Bibliophile Princess even though that took quite a bit of mental anguish, xD. Eliana-sama is very much loved in the royal family and it was nice to see those lighthearted moments in full display. Going to settle with a solid 6/10 for this. |

| boring end... a short story |
| Quite enjoyable show, nothing groundbreaking but these type of shows are always super comfy and that's all that matters. |
| i really enjoyed this last episode. im happy it ended on a good note and not a cliffhanger or something. also laughed a lot during this episode. would love to see a second season or even just a movie that shows them getting married and what it's like after that:) they're just the cutest |
My 2023 candies:      |
| I'd say the ending the satisfying. It suited the show well. We didn't need any cliffhangers or questions. I find that a story has a good ending when there is no need for the story to continue. |

| Again, a disturbance when he was about to kiss. Did she just push him like that? Whoa 🤣🤣🤣 Every single time, the pests come just when we get to the good part. Oh, so the Ojamamushi is that shorty. I agree with it. This shorty actually dared to bribe Elianna right in front of Chris. Whoa, Elianna stopped herself. Eren is right. Indeed excessive behaviour. Piglet 🤣🤣🤣 Eli looks lovely in that red dress. That's a nice lesson from the Queen. I like the Queen, she is blushing. I like the family banter. Nice ending. |
 |
| what the fuck eli? even after that long ass conversation with chris, eli again didn't trust chris? i was baffled to see eli act all angry or some shit when that kiddie said something was going on between chris and mierille. eli should know better by now. and again eli will stand-up for a fucking book but not for herself. she scolded the kid for hitting the book but won't say anything when she's insulted so much. tf???????? eli being like this is what ruined it for me. other qualities of eli are great and i like her for that but this one thing is really bugging. well at least they kissed at the end. overall, 7/10 because i enjoyed and loved this a lot at the start. the first 8-9 episodes were marvellous. eli's behaviour at the ending episodes all ruined it for me. this could have been a solid 9 or 10 for me and it hurts to rate it just 7. no hopes for second season. |
 |
| I believe that the Light Novel are much better at telling the history. in average a good anime to watch, and have a relaxing time if binge it. |
|
| I was half expecting Elianna to have yet another misunderstanding this episode and it did come true, somewhat. Man, the last episode and she still can't help it. Anyways, hail the Queen. Best character. |
 |
| Unfortunately, even though my hopes were not exactly high, it end up being huge disappointment. Elli is probably one of the most annoying characters I saw, story quality dropped fast and this anime became borderline unwatchable. 2/10. |
Swagernator said: Up until the light novel finally started seeing a new release like just last week, I hadn't read this series at all in like two years so I don't recall exact details but I think after the events that happened in this adaptation, this is the last time that that happens. There's one opponent for Elianna's hand for Christopher but I don't recall there being any more girls that Elianna gets jealous/worried over. There's a number of major things that Elianna is directly involved with that happen on-screen throughout the rest of the story.And they lived happily ever after ... or till another random woman came in between Elliana and Christopher, and our heroine got depressed again that the Prince does not love her anymore and went back to being a sad princess. But other than that, yes, a happy ending. 5/10 Also for people complaining about how passive Elianna tends to be, you should consider reading the light novel. There's only been one prepub on JNovel for the new volume so far but you can see how immensely she's improved just in that one release alone. |
| Romance with Politic, now this is a new thing to me. I think somehow they made it works. Look at how much Eli grown, she reject a books for Chris. Eli in Red Dress was so beautiful. Overall Decent Shoujo Romance Anime. 6/10 also can't believe this is done by MADHOUSE, they have moved from Action Battle Anime to Romance Anime lately. |

| I think you guys should give Eli a bit of credit. I mean this girl spent almost her whole life reading book about knowledge and those knowledge are mostly from book writers point of view. What I am saying is, to her, whatever people saying or writing are what they are thinking. She thinks that people are honest creature but as we all know we are not. To me, Eli is like a 10 years girl trying to have a conversation with adults that do not share the same interest as her and specially she has to deal with those high class citizen language that slap you in the face with their right hand while padding you on back with their left hand. The only bad thing about this anime is there is budget in the animation at all. I guess they picked great art over the animation. And this also causes the story telling to turn into "telling" instead of "showing" |

| Finally, it's ended! I love the story and the animation. Somehow I really want 2nd season for this anime. It was very enjoyful when watching this anime! |

| True love when Eli manages to muster up all her willpower to reject a book for Chris. Overall quite the comfy show but nothing too exciting story-wise. |
 |
| Pretty ending. Visually not the best but Eliana stood out. But very disappointed in the political, romantic and everything character story after the first part. No other interesting characters and everything is resolved in the most bland way possible. |
 |
| I loved it! The story was simplicity in itself; nothing over dramatized and I found it refreshing. An easy binge watch. |
| This anime would have been great, if it had different FL, she just lets everyone do whatever they want, take whatever bullshit they say to heart, get depressed over it yada yada. It was repetetive as hell, later on it was annoying. |
