Lol, Alice always finds a way to tease the Duke, even under the cold weather. And she's pretty good at snowball fights lol

On a more serious note, it looks like Alice valued a pair of earrings very much. It also seems thsi show really loves its musical segments. The one from this episode was slightly weird imo but also quite amusing.

My favourite feel good anime of the week is back, and alice does not pull any stops, hot or cold and sometimes turning into goku and activating ultra instinct to dodge him xD. The earrings seemed to be as important for bocchan as they were for alice lol. What was that song and dance about lmaoooo, the bath song. That end scene tho lmao

I kinda noticed it in the first few episodes, but it's pretty clear now that this show is a full on musical.

Also, that Matrix joke seemed out of character for the Duke, unless that was just the subtitle translation.

Overall, I'm loving this show and the CG is done very well, unlike most of the CG you see in anime these days.

I love how Bocchan can't live without Alice's sexual harassment. he thought she was avoiding him but instead, she caught a cold and that's why she was acting out of energy. But, I love how close they both are. Rob, Alice, and Bocchan also made a snowman and they also had a snow fight. Seeing Alice dodge like that was so funny. LOL

A new girl character, Cuff is here. She helped Bocchna in finding out the earring that Alice lost. She's s bold and casual, it's like it's her own mansion. LOL, that singing part was so funny. Too bad, she doesn't know anything about that witch that cursed Bocchan. I'm enjoying this show so much.

Bocchan thinking about what happened with him and Alice over last episode's meteor shower, and the maid constantly avoiding Bocchan for some reason, not even wanting to sexually harass him. Now that's new, and his fantasies grow out of concern...and indeed Alice is sick from ensuring that Bocchan had a good night's sleep. Such beet red faces.

It's cold outside, yet Bocchan and Alice took some time out to play with snow. Even butler Rob wants in on the fun to build a snowman, giving those Frozen vibes in the usual sexual manner and like kids, Boochan and Alice throwing snowballs at one another.

Bocchan noticing that Alice's earrings have gone missing in the pile of snow, and helps to seek them out. Heh, the half-human, half-witch Caph (Cuff just sounds very wrong for a name) makes her formal introduction to helping Bocchan do the job, and does it as easily with her fire magic. She really reminds me of Mahoutsukai no Yome's Chise with the red hair and the skeleton mask.

Requesting some help from Caph to ask out the witch who cursed him, but Bocchan could not get an answer from her, and her backstory is as easily depressing as Bocchan's. Caph isn't the brightest girl, but having a childhood friend whom she admires, this won't be the last time we'll be seeing of her.

Another amusing episode.

Essa foi uma das minhas grandes surpresas da temporada. NOSSSA!! eu não tinha expectativa nenhuma para o anime em si( principalmente pela animação). Porém me vejo me segurando para não ler o mangá e criando teorias.
Sobre teoria, eu acho que Alice é filha da bruxa que almaldiçoou.✨🦋

Damn, Alice has really good reflexes and accuracy. Bocchan normally acts strange when Alice teases him but, he can't really live without it. Hey, Caph is here. I'd definitely want to see more of her.

A good episode this week, and with the least off-putting CGI animation thus far for me... it was even almost good for the snowball scene! But still, they just had to sneak in a 2D flashback scene to taunt us with what could have been.

Pretty good episode.

A winter ep with lots of snow, you know what to do. Yes, a snowball fight. Alice probably has some supernatural powers xD She's pretty good at dodging.
The episode got pretty serious with Cuff and her backstory. Seems like she's the same as Bochan. Her personality is pretty nice and seems like she's the shy type.

Funniest part was when she jumped out of the window LOL.
Smol Alice is adorable.

Another great episode. I really liked how Bocchan suddenly was hoping for Alice to harass hum when she wasn't for a short while. Cuff is also very interesting, hope we get to see more of her. And also, the animation suddenly changed to a regular non-full-CGI in the flashback, which was also very interesting.

Cuff ? what the fuck, "Caph" is a million times better ! "Cuff" .......pfft


I am happy with the voice actor of caph . it looks like its her debut role , and she absolutely fits . nailed that sort of serious tone caph has in the beginning of their meeting , and then reverted back to her usual dumb self later on .

But anyway best girl is here . next ep we getting the absolute chad .

here is a panel from the manga that pretty much sums up caph's character

I think Alice mother may have been witch guys lol, but obviously Alice might to be a witch I mean how else do you explain her cat like reflexes, and agility. Likes even if Boochan cant touch Alice this is the most heartwarming rom com ever but not more than hiromiya even so i enjoy this as much i did that cold' essential or a main reason to make your romantic life even more stronger so.... and i like Caph-san said something really interesting on this episode.

I'm so sad people aren't watching this anime just because it's CGI. Idk if 2D would've fit this better. But now that I've seen a few episodes of this, I wouldn't have it any other way...

Welp, they have a witch friend now but she couldn't really help with the curse.

I could see them trying to curse Alice with immortality to cancel out the death curse but that won't stop Bocchan from eventually dying so in the long run that would be just a lose-lose for everyone.

This might not have been my favorite episode so far, but it was good. A solid 3 out of 5 in my books.

The first part of the episode was really enjoyable; however, ever since Cuff appeared, the episode kind of lost its pace, in my humble opinion. Besides, I thought that, as a witch, she was going to have an important supporting role and would, at least, try to help Duke break the curse, but she just flew away.

Maybe I am getting ahead of events and this is just a guess that I'm making, but if Cuff really appeared only for having 5 minutes of screen-time, then that cameo was a little useless from my point of view. I hope she comes back and has a more important role in the following episodes.

Anyway, on a positive note, that flashback to Alice and Duke's childhood was really cute, and it made me happy seeing that their "friendship" hasn't changed through the years.

As somebody said above, music seems to have an important role on the story, so it's likely to see more instrumental/singing scenes.

This anime series seems to have no problems introducing new characters into the series. Cuff didn't have a huge amount of time in this episode but I already like her character and look forward to seeing her again. Another current anime that I watched tonight can't seem to bring any new character into the series that isn't 1 dimensional and not interesting at all.

The dialogue is also very well done. It is light and yet it has purpose. The scenes are better because of it. I look forward to next weeks episode and know it will make me smile!

Lol. I thought Alice prank Bocchan about not being care, and then did the same thing in the end. However its really her sickness, caught a cold with that 'reason', which made her avoid him for a while. Oh shit, what an unexpected turn.

Snow time. No else play other than the snowball built and, yeah, snow fights. Ah, the witch. She was pretty interesting character. Something strange happened to her in the end. Looks like she remembered about her childhood friend that got still lost there. Welp.

More tease from Alice. More tease about the witch origin whose put the curse to the Bocchan. Why witches mistakenly thought Alice was her mother? Well, i may have another wild assumptions. But, lets just left it just like that. Because this snow episode kinda nice to chill, until i fell asleep ....

Another really good episode! Bocchan can't live without Alice's sexual harassment lmao. Well, since they can't touch each other, sexual harassment is all he has. Them playing in the snow was so sweet and adorable, don't mess with Rob though. We meet a new character! She's a witch and most importantly she's not the smartest tool in the shed. I did not expect Bocchan's musical number though lmao, that was great. I see Alice also didn't have the happiest of childhoods, but Bocchan has always been there for her since the beginning, that's really sweet. Looking forward to the next episode.

Well I already like Cuff - claiming she wouldn't reveal anything about witches even under torture... but reveals all when Alice gives her dessert haha Then she gets embarrassed and jumps out the window without a word. She's so weird and I love it! Hope we see more of her!

Bocchan was unusually unreserved in this episode and it just made this already cute anime so much more adorable, especially the snow scene! So funny how he was practically begging Alice to sexual harass him at the start too cause it's so out of character for her haha

God, this show is so good.

The more I watch this series, it really does remind me of Hi Score Girl, except the male/female character roles are reversed. Bocchan is like Akira in a sense because they both come from rich families but have family issues that gives them trauma/challenges and Alice is like Haruo in a sense because both characters are the main drive that pulls Bocchan/Akira out of their comfort zone and by doing so, help them face their issues. I love how Yamakawa and his team depicts these types of relationships, where there is an obvious romantic interests between the two, but they show it in a such a down-to-earth way

The only gripe I had about this episode was that the pacing felt a little awkward. I felt like they could have done more with the avant scene, but now I'm nitpicking

The introduction of Cuff left some clues about the Duke's curse and opens up new possibilities. I suppose his mother was a witch hunter (or still is) and the curse on his child was a sort of revenge from the witch. It would be an interesting turning point for the story if the mother was responsible for the death of Cuff's parents and her friend's parents.

Wasn't expecting a witch character to be introduced so early. And yes, I mean introduce. That skull woman doesn't really count as introduction cos we don't even know what her name is. May or may not relate to the witch who cursed Bocchan.

Cuff is cute but I wonder what (or why) hit her nerve.

They actually referenced The Matrix wtf. 😭 Caught me way off guard. Did the manga/anime actually intend to make that reference, or were the subtitlers just trolling? 10/10 juxtaposition regardless.

I find it incredibly charming out they just did it randomly. For like a split second, the show was out of character. They were just like, screw it.



Yeeeah, after the first two episodes, I wasn't really a fan of the show. But after episodes three and four, I gained some respect for it. It's very different. It's like a regular slice-of-life, except... for once, it doesn't take place at a school or in a Japanese village... and for once, the MCs are both incredibly honest with themselves and how they feel about each other. In some ways, the show is incredibly mature with how they execute the romance... which is not what I was expecting getting into this.

Another commendable aspect is how NON-one-dimensional the characters are. Seems like the main MC has layers and different sides, like a regular human. He's bashful at times, but not every single second of the anime. He's gloomy at times, but certainly not every second of the anime. He can get sad or angry, be naïve or wise, mature or immature... it's so refreshing.
That random little insert song with the choreographed dance, with the Duke singing about the maid bathing... it was wholesome, but was also another random out-of-left-field moment (like the matrix joke) that is to be appreciated.
I also like the balance between his purity and any lust he might feel. Usually, the protag is either pure to an asexual degree - or their lust gets the better of them in an immature way. I like how, somehow, they manage to make the Duke comedic while also incredible mature about it. He shows restraint but sometimes looks forward to it, but never in an animalistic kinda way. Uncommon in the manga/anime world, which is fine, but this anime's been a breath of fresh air.

The maid is also less one-dimensional than I thought she'd be. She's also mature but immature. She's straightforward but also sensitive, but neither in an unbelievable way. There's a fine balance between her teasing and her 'genuineness'.

I didn't check what genre this was before watching... I just see it's got a little bit of hype around it so I thought I'd check it out. But if this is a "comedy romance", I have to say that competitors should be taking notes.

From the start I thought Alice was the witch who cursed him. I don't think that's true anymore. But with more and more interactions with these other witch characters, there's something definitely going on
