Compared to Nefritis, Granart is much more strong willed and isn't afraid of speaking her thoughts. She's almost like a complete opposite of her character imo.
Hime is also showing more signs of jealousy, which isn't that surprising. The more women Haruto gets to meet and have to marry, the more she's going to react like that. Only 5 episodes too and there's more coming lol
That's why, in most cases, polygamy tends not to work out well. Except for in Girlfriend, Girlfriedn ofc.
Satou and the gang continue their journey to marry the princess of the next ring. However, Hime develops a strong sense of jealousy towards Satou, who is taking care of Nephrites. As their relationships become somewhat awkward, a massive caravan from the Fire Country, Nidakitta, the land of itinerant knights, the 'cat people', appears before them. Satou proposes a "meeting" with Princess Granart of Nidakitta in order to marry her. However, to marry her, Satou has to go through the process of a 'marriage interview' with the princess. There, he is forced to fight none other than Granart herself to win her hand in marriage.
I guess not everyone can handle polygamy like Rentaro or Naoyo, huh? And man, in these five episodes, this guy hasn't even bothered to train. He's got a sage and the prince on his side. Personally, I'm all about character growth through training and learning, maybe a bit of magic. It's kind of hard to believe that the princess's move had that much force, not just considering the position but also the power she could have put into it given the size of the move.
She's the real deal; knows how to get under people's skin. Meanwhile, Satou is still the same old simple fool.
A country on wheels? Not sure I've already seen that before. Nefritis peeking at the lap pillow was so cute, she really is innocent.
Based on the design I was already looking forward to Granart, being dark skinned and muscled and she did not dissapoint, love me some strong women. That massage scene was just perfect. Cmon Satou make her already your women!
Satou finally training his swordsmanship, using the rings is still the way to go but it doesn't hurt to train that aspect as well.
Hime's delusions sure got the better of her, as Satou fixes his attention more on Nefritis, alleviating to her jealousy. But one carriage passing them by, it's a town? And it sjust so happens to be another ring Land: the Land of Fire, Needakitta, filled with knight mercenaries and cat people.
The mobile land, which looks like a circus of some sort, Nefritiis is just too scared to go onboard, but Hime will look after her. And as much as the plan is to make haste to meet the Maiden of the Ring of Fire, both Hime and Nefritis get separated almost immediately. And one catgirl recoomended them to head to the arena to be found by the group, and when it comes to the princess, they're one of many trying to court her. Despite Nefritis's kind of wonky appearance, she knows that watching both Hime and Satou's feelings for each other, she also wants to be like Hime as well. And apparently, the marriage interview to the Land of Fire's princess Granart...involves fights, one who is able to beat her in strength and prowess.
Therefore, Satou's magic training with Marse starts as one of many who are trying to court Granart, and only if Satou can use the rings to his advantage, then he will be able to clinch victory against her. But as someone who's trained from young, Marse is taught to be strong, and Satou...got a massage from one of the cat people, and giving Granart a massage, he can feel every bit of muscle on her naked body, even as she starts to get waned over the many men whom challenged her. And Satou, he owuld not want to rig his match against her, which he really tries so hard to believe by his own strength.
Hey man, if you can't believe in yourself, Granart is as good as unbeatable.
Another challenge for Satou, in connecting with Granat and to his character. There’s also challenge for Hime, finding the best way to navigate through polygamous life.
Maybe my favorite episode so far, a lot of fun and interesting little things happening.
A few cute moments with Hime who gets jealous, but shows how much she cares about Satou later on.
Nefritis really is the fun character of the lot, and she has a sort of refreshing honesty, I would say, when she admits that what she feels for Satou is no more than 'admiration' for now.
The third princess, Granart, has a pretty interesting personality imo: fierce and proud, but also pretty understanding and clever it would seem.
Last but not least, I really love that moving town, I think it looks pretty nice!
Was waiting to see Granart animated and was not disappointed. She dwarfs the other princesses when it comes to physique and appearance. They did choose to make her voice more mature than I expected. As far as I remember from the story she's not much older than the other girls. But maybe that's just a beast girl thing.

I've never rated Catgirls all that much if ever...but after this episode I'm officially a fan😍
Dark skin Neko mommy...I mean Granart...FUCKING GYATT!!!
A moving city is a very cool idea, the amount of energy needed to move it would be insane tho lol, but this is anime after all. And with a new location we get a new princess, this time it’s Granart who happens to be a stacked cat girl, her scene in the bath was very tasty at the end. Satou of course got his ass kicked immediately by her but he didn’t get much of a chance there anyway, I’m sure the rings could at least do something without even needing training but I’m looking forward to their fight regardless, I respect that Satou decided that he wanted to win the fight for a real without staging it.
And we got some good moments with Hime and Nefritis as well, of course with another princess there would be jealousy and there have been some funny bits of the with that so far, especially that dream bit at the very beginning, it wasn’t just funny but also hot lol.
Noice - it's time for some furry love and it's a good chance for Satou as well to grow up a bit in terms of physical strength so he can fully use the rings and really be deserving of the girls' support.
Anyway, I am still somehow excited about him meeting the Thunger/Lightning princess, Amber (the short-haired one). Somehow she has some similar aura to Izumo Tenka (from Mato Seihei no Slave) - well that's what I felt from their auras in the 2 mangas.
Another fun episode! Lot of nice bonding between Nefritis and Krystal in this one.
Krystal is so cute when she’s jealous. When you have 5 different wives there’s always going to be some issues with jealousy and sharing one guy. I like that the show focuses on that budding issue.
Getting separated from satou was actually a blessing in disguise. Really helped the two girls get closer and understand where the other is coming from.
Another cool thing for me is Satou’s desire to get stronger. He doesn’t want to just rely on the girls or the power of the rings, but to become a strong fighter in his own right. Krystal kinda wants to old on to the cute and weak satou that she’s used to because of her own insecurities about losing him, but she’s his whole motivation for getting stronger in the first place!
Now onto the third princess, Ganart. They cooked with the her anime design. Holy mommy dommy. Satou lucky af for getting to massage her lol
Mad respect to him for not wanting the easy way out of courting her either. He wants to beat her on his own merits. I’m looking forward to seeing him work towards that goal
Last ep we resolved the elf arc and uh
To be honest the problem with a lot of these anime is that, i mean you already knew from the start we're going to have trouble juggling all the girls. we need to introduce the new girl(s) while also having screentime for the exist girls
Like we're 4 eps in, and i feel like we barely know hime or nef at all
so yeah a dream sequence and we're gonna have some maybe jealousy or envy between the girls. how on earth is satou going to satisfy everyone?
it sure is a weird feeling seeing them, are they literally travelling on foot? no convenient isekai magic utilities here
ook so the next nation literally comes to us, that was definitely not what I expected oh my.
what kind of shenanigans are we gonna have this time
i was just thinking like, it seems a bit pointless to have the other guy around but they seem to be hinting at something in store
satou sure is uh, protective of nef isnt she. i guess she really is like a moeblob.
like really it would be a good opportunity for hime to get along with nef, but idk?
its still sorta necessary
you know a marine or even air/space version of the idea would be interesting, but thats for another time.
aaand of course nef and hime immediately get lost
the funny thing is that because satou was basically just thrown into the isekai and given his ring magic powers he just looks like an ordinary person
lol. so if nef is the daughter?
its nice that the girls get at least a little bit of time to talk with each other
i mean considering whats happened so far i think most likely the monsters will show up next ep anyway. but for now let's see how satou has to convince the princess
she's like the opposite of nef lol, she sees satou and immediately is like
like we didnt even get her name
soo its satou training arc?
kind of funny that the arena is empty
they are dropping a lot of hints about the prince's family, its probably only a matter of time before they show up and something happens
who knows, might even be sooner rather than later? though idk
only downside is the princess has had almost no screentime
of course i say that and she immediately shows up
well now things are interesting now
losing on purpose eh? now thats something
So uhm. In this ep, we got introduced a bit. Like hime and nef have just sat around, but the new princess, granart(?) (why do they all have to have such fancy names, and here i thought krystal has was hard enough), she seems pretty damn strong.
Of course next ep we'll have satou after his training arc combined with the ring powers to maybe attempt to win legitimately. Or who knows. Anyway.
With the trend so far I wont be surprised if the monsters show up to crash the party again. Curious. But we'll see how things go.
They're also vaguely setting up something happening next time, but otherwise. This ep wasnt as heavy on the backstory as the elf arc was at least.
While we did get a little bit of screentime with hime and nef. It seems like nef had something to say though, and hime and satou.
As the anime goes on screentime is going to start to become a real problem, this ep was hard enough trying to divide up the screentime between 3 girls.
Granart is voiced by...ueda hitomi, who I've never heard before.
EDIT: It didnt occur to me but a LOT of people pointed out that their nation is called...needakitta? I dunno man.
It's japanese and in the anime it sounds ok, it only looks weird in text
Things of note. So last ep I think people mentioned that there's like five dark rings in the op or something. gonna be a bit rushed if they all show up in 12 eps. There's also like almost no setup as well.
Granart also had really little screentime despite it being her introduction ep.

@CocoaGalaxy they skipped a good moment between Hime and Nef which would have been good character bonding moment, check out chapter 11. They skipped like the majority of the chapter. We got robbed of some good fanservice too as a result. The anime is in such a hurry of introducing the other princesses that they are kinda rushing through the chapters.
- lots of nice ecchi shots this episode, itadakimasu
- elf girl is making Hime jealous lol
- catgirls everywhere, nice
- elf ears or cat ears? which one is cuter?
- cat princess is strong as hell, wonder if anyone can beat her
- she is ok with going with mc by letting him win, but he wants to beat her lol i expected him to be happy for the easy win, now he got his pride, fine lol
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices)
Wow, they really skipped like the majority of chapter 11 in this ep, including Hime and Nef's bath scene. That's disappointing.
@Nucleus69
That's a shame to hear, sounds like this series needed at least 2 cours to get more content from the manga.
While I enjoyed this episode for what it had, Granart did not have much screen-time and we're almost at the half-way point. I'm thinking Satou will get his 3rd wife by the next episode, the question is more of how will he do it, staged or legit win.
This was better than previous episode, third wife already showed up and she is much more assertive than the previous one. Hopefully Satou will rise up for the challenge and not be handed a win! It will be nice to have someone a bit more confident join the harem, fingers crossed it will speed things up in the intimacy department. Though that will be really hard on Hime...
YES! I was waiting for this since i saw opening. Granart. Strong, badass, chocolade girl who knows what she want. A purrfect waifu <3 And that scene in spa. Trully a feast for the eyes.
I've seen wheeled cities done before but I wonder how plausible they are. I guess it's entirely possible but it would require really high torque motors.
jealousy brewing, but Satou & Kystal as parents to kid Nef wholesome relation.
elf vs cat ears, much philosophy.
cool how Fire nation wanders like Mortal Engines. sounds hard if they don't own any land. history of cat mercenaries & merchants forming a country sound way interesting. Finally see black Hanekawa's strength. Granart journeying for a husband, like Potion's Kaoru.
Marse mystery backstory needs more. Satou way overdue training.
Omggggggg Granart is the finest anime girl I think I’ve ever laid my eyes upon, she’s lightskin with big tiddies, cat ears, fiery coloured eyes and thick as shit like she’s the whole package nothing is ugly on this lady😩😩😩😩😩😩
Looks like the girls are gonna have to have a talk about their feelings about being in a polygamy relationship bc Hime still isn’t bright on that idea and it’s telling since she got NTR’d in her dream💀
Satou is really due for a training arc rn I don’t think bro can just keep depending on the power of the ring everytime he needs to fight I’m happy he’s not taking the easy route and training to actually beat Granart and not take a rigged win👍🏽🙌🏽
I’m really loving the ecchi in this show, this Chined Soldier and Gushing over magical girls are the best ecchi animes airing this season😫🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Best girl Granart is here and boy she's hot and also strong. I sure have a thing for dark skinned beast girls. Appreciate the fanservice too. That's one plump body she's got.
I guess choosing your partner based on trial by combat worked a bit too well for the royal family of Needakitta. Princess Granart has Satou all fired up!
Granart is so fucking hot and badass! Three out of three so far with the girls' designs.
What a dream Krystal was having haha. Nice way to start the episode.
Nephritis saying farewell just seeing what she had to climb lol. Krystal helping her out of jealousy ended up giving us a good look of her panties, nice.
"Elf ears are much cuter" xD. I liked seeing some bonding time between Krystal and Nephritis.
My God that Granart scene at the end. Can she be any hotter?!
