Tbh, Neil is pretty awesome in this show now that I think about it.

Still, not everyone is especially with some of the other guys picking on Nike. Still, at least she's got the maids. The episode was decent. I found the scene with the King kinda cute :p

The song during the party was pretty I guess but Nike really showed herself out there with that dress. :>

In the last week, I got worried about the third episode, because the second ep was like a grand finale. But it was unnecessarily. I think this third episode was also good and pleasant. Livius was cute when he wanted her kiss in the last scene. And Niel...his VA did the best performance at that time. His talking way of "Hayaku Sumasetekudasai" (like "Please, kiss him sooner.") was wonderful. lol

I guess they will never have any sexual relations because of Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths. But I don't care.

It was a nice episode. With all the 'serious' ones that I'm currently watching it's nice to calm down with a light hearted anime.

He's such a tsundere and such a bully (for love). He actually cherishes her as if she is his mother. She gets to understand him little by little each ep. and sings that song again. Will she be doing this every week (say no, try to understand with Sugita butler's explanations, then do it anyways)? lol @ the end.

Airing 2 hours and 5 mins. late next ep.

Another beautiful episode :3

Dat kiss at the beginning XD

Loving the progress in their relationship so much >.<

Dat Lap pillow <3

Loved how Nike realized how he was actually a tsundere when Niel told her he can relax now with u by his side :D

The scene in the party hall was so pretty. Everyone's reactions and Livi's reaction to seeing Nike's beauty was so nice.

It was nice seeing him thank her ^^

The end was cute with her looking at his sleeping face and saying he's cute, then him saying u should get carried away and kiss me XD

Niel saying Just get it over with already was so lol XD

Nike is so much <3<3<3

They sure put that guy who was being rude to Nike in his place.

Really loving this series.

All three of the main characters are brilliant in their own ways.

They don't always get along, but they are still learning to understand each other. I like how Nike didn't have to explain why she made it rain, instead, Livius just said that he knows, and thank you.

And yeah, Neil is a pretty fun character :)

Livius sure is a tsundere and likes to tease Nike a lot, but he really cares about her.
Overall a really nice and sweet episode.

Okay episode, if she keeps on with the singing in every ep, its gonna become bland
Nike is very likable though

Oh, Livius is very straightforward.. That kiss. XD

Liked the way he told those minister people off; talking to Nike like that. :)
Their little conversation was nice.

Nike realizes how strong Livius is; handling his inner emotions and protecting & sympathizing with Nike all the time. :)
Nice development of their relationship there!

Oh, Nike looked beautiful in that outfit! Though, she sings the same song, it's still nice to hear it again.
That rain scene was awesome! A good 'Thank you" exchange too. :)

I too wished Nike got carried away and kissed him. XD
-- "Get it over with already." Niel is a great supporting character. XD

Nice episode. A good development in their relationship. :)

I'm still undecided about this series, but there's something about these episodes... Can't quite put my finger on it, I'm both liking and disliking this series at the same time. I find it to be very bland, nothing really happens, very character driven. But, I keep watching and I don't know why. Maybe it's growing on me, maybe I'm sensing something that is yet to come, I don't know. I am sticking with it for now, however. See how the next episode or two goes.
Odds are I'm not going to find my way back to a thread after my first post, it happens on occasion but not often. So, if I say something that offends you and you feel the need to force your opinion on me because obviously everyone should have your opinion or none at all, feel free to post it in the thread that I'll probably never see again. However, if you are interested in intelligent discourse, feel free to message me.

Good episode, Nike's singing voice is beautiful. Though I still think the Rain Song would be better without the English lines (they seem very out of place), it is starting to grow on me.

Nike looked very pretty during her entrance into the party, however I think the hairstyle and dress she had in the manga was a lot more elegant and beautiful so I wished they had used that instead of changing it.

I think the show is good for what it is and the tender rain song is very nice but it just isn't my type of show. Not a cutesy/romance type of person but it does the genre well.

Very nice episode. Second episode was crap I think, but now I see this is good somehow. The same kind of fun I had with Hataraku Maou-sama (but this one is a shoujo and the romance is much better developed).

Really glad Nike feelings reached the king.
I felt the development ^^ now Nike feels more like a queen now.
A kiss next episode? maybe?
I swear... if that song keeps on coming... I would love this show even more. I mean when ever that song hits, the following scenes are amazing. A song just for the king eh? Really liking this!

Ahahah, I really don't know why but I burst out laughing everytime she sings that damn song.

Anyway, from the preview looks like they will discuss whoever should protect who, and she doesn't take orders and blabla. I hope they won't exaggerate with that stuff.

Good episode! A lot of chemistry in this one! Just wished they'd make the king just a little bit taller. He looks like a 10 year old instead of 15 year old.

The song is beautiful...until they bust out the Engrish. I'm not even bothered that they're not fluent in it, it's just the English lyrics is so out of place and really just ruins the mood. The first part is magical and then...IT'S A TENDER RAIN >__<

Well, tis a minor gripe. Three episodes in and I can say this is officially my hidden gem of the season.

I was damn surprise to see that he kissed her during the start. I rarely see a guy being the tsundere. Even so, he has his reasons. The rain she summoned was beautiful as well as her voice. Princess Nike is right to be the wife of the Sun King, Livius.

When I watch this, I feel like every episode is the first. I like this episode.

First comes marriage, and then comes romance and love... This show could end up being an advertisement for arranged marriages, since this one seems to be turning out just fine.
