I almost cried watching this episode, I haven’t seen [Haqua and Kanon](https://i.imgur.com/wv5ff1b.png) in years.
Classic misunderstanding and gay princess from Liechtenstein-Janai (voiced by the queen of Engrish herself). They really wanted to get some tropes out of the way.
“From here, their dialogue will be in japanese”
BOOOOOO give me english in a japanese accent that sounds funny
“Roof of a Japanese high school” would actually be kind of a neat spot to visit precisely because of anime lol.
Honjoji getting jealous of Ohara and Claudia was really cute. Claudia was not what I expected. Even she could see Ohara and Honjoji make a good couple. Both of them seem to be starting to catch feelings….
Rika being so jealous over misunderstandings and its only episode 3, this relationship is cooking!
When are they going Tahiti. It’s a topical paradise I hear.
Honjoji is so cute! Despite her poker face expressions, she is subconsciously falling for Ohara and being jealous of Ohara spending time with Claudia. Hearing her inner thoughts allowed us viewers to understand her much better!
When Ohara said he would be bringing Claudia to someplace high, I knew it wouldn’t be the Tokyo Skytree as it is too common, but I was expecting him to recommend a mountain or hill. The roof of a Japanese school is definitely a surprising but rare spot to visit!
This fake engagement has gotten out of hand! Now Honjoji is entertaining the father of her fake fiance! And look how happy she is when Ohara actually shows up!
Though Takuya’s dad isn’t actually serious about some grand Kumamoto wedding, he just wants the pair to keep in mind how important marriage is to the Aso region when it’s the country and has all the typical hardships of being the country with the dwindling population and agriculture…it’s not anything new to Takuya, but Rika is actually super into Aso because she’s such a map nut! And in finding out how as a kid Takuya was a little mischievous.
Going back home to clear the air about your fake engagement? I’m sure that will turn out well.
As if Takuya didn’t have enough to worry about, now he’s getting saddled with having to attend to a beautiful, rich, married princess who is known for her popularity with men. We’re really giving the most awkward and quiet member of the team this job? Though I guess he’s the “safe” option when he’s so meek and spoken for.
Nao Toyama as a cute and charming blonde who struggles speaking Japanese and throws out plenty of English? Where have I seen that before? Good thing Takuya knows English and for the sake of the seiyuu they just say the rest of their English dialogue is dubbed in Japanese.
Takuya is actually a surprisingly good attendant, giving Claudia exactly what she wants! Not just the usual sights, but places Claudia would actually want to go to that suit her tastes! And the best view in Tokyo isn’t the skytree, but on a Japanese school roof.
“Sailor Witch” – She straight up did the Sailor Moon pose! They even referenced Super!
So she straight up just changed into a school uniform right in front of Takuya? I’m sure he turned away, but still.
Oh snap, The World God Only Knows references! And they even included Haqua and Kanon, who just so happen to be voiced by Saori Hayami and Nao Toyama!
Rika just can’t help herself. She knows she and Takuya aren’t really together, but she is bothered at the prospect of him being alone with another woman, let alone a princess, and finds herself at this apartment. She even goes to the trouble of going into said apartment, catching them on top of each other, and marking her territory by telling Takuya other women are off limits. I like aggressive Rika.
But it turns out she never had anything to worry about! Claudia is a lesbian, she already has a girlfriend, and she’s been struggling with her duty as a princess to be in a conventional marriage with her desire to be with the person she truly loves. She only surrounds herself with men so Marie doesn’t get jealous. And in fact Takuya and Rika’s “relationship” inspires her to realize her ideal marriage! I hope she and Marie can find true happiness together.
Rika may be utterly mortified that she’s acting like a lovestruck fool around Takuya, right down to getting him a frog-shaped rock for no reason other than to see him and give him a gift, but it makes her absolutely cute, especially to Takuya. So much so that he seems to genuinely consider wanting to really marry her.
Liechtenstein + Luxembourg = Liechtbourg?
The description of this place did seem to mostly hint at the former nation, with the noticeable difference that the country was seemingly located in Eastern instead of Western Europe.
Claudia having married with a man out of duty for her country’s future was not a twist that I’d expected but pretty cool one nonetheless. A princess cannot simply marry anyone she wants. They sometimes even need to get approval from their government.
This last reason might be why Claudia is thinking of leaving the royal family. That way nobody has a say in who she marries. Royalty renouncing theirs claims to the throne to be together with the person they love actually happens every so often in our world.
Anyways, I hope that we’ll see Claudia and Marie get together later in this anime. They make for a cute couple!
Office waifu strikes back. She protects (from charlots) she gives (stone frogs) she sneaks she have perfect timing. Full package.
Also this episode is sponsored by campaign of awareness of depopulation crisis in rural Japan.
u/AmethystItalian – You writing the [scripts this season?](https://i.imgur.com/tQ22GvM.png)
[](#awe)
Holy shit, it’s a Prius
Loved the part of the past memories and would love to see some more of those in future episodes
Just imagine the tabloid headlines:
Japanese travel agent dresses up European Princess like anime character and causes abdication crisis.
[and they say that if you stay in a fake marriage long enough, you’ll forget that it’s fake](https://i.imgur.com/Hag3BgE.png)

Two episodes now, they kinda went into what marriage means, or at least the different ideas people have of what it means. I think this could be a recurring theme of exploring different thoughts and approaches to what exactly it means to be married to someone. And I think this journey will also influence Takuya and Rika to maybe consider getting married for real
Rika is such a big goober though. She’s obviously starting to care about Takuya and getting really worried he’s spending time with some pretty foreign lady. I’m also not surprised she’d be interested in Aso considering Mount Aso seem to be a popular attraction there. And also it’s so adorable that she collects rocks and decided to give the one that looks like a frog to Takuya after hearing the story about his childhood
Also, writer seem to know what foreign anime fans like with that school rooftop comment lol
maybe it’s just me, but i can’t help but think of Komari from Non Non Biyori whenever [this character speaks](https://i.imgur.com/jMgY9Ux.png)

Even after that [conversation with Takuya’s dad](https://i.imgur.com/p7Js9sK.jpeg), it looks like none of them could even break it to him that the marriage is fake. Takuya’s dad doesn’t even know he’s right in front of his fake future daughter-in-law!
Touyama Nao’s Engrish is so infamous [that I immediately recognized her as soon as Claudia spoke!](https://i.imgur.com/ggcdRy1.jpeg) Too bad they decided to [“dub” over their Engrish though!](https://i.imgur.com/zw4Tf5P.jpeg) I do love the twist with Claudia though.
The rumours might’ve made you think that [she’s the kind of lady who sleeps around](https://i.imgur.com/fbGKEAc.jpeg) but it turns out she just surrounds herself with men [because she’s actually gay](https://i.imgur.com/o2J4WfC.jpeg) and she doesn’t want her lover to get jealous but the [rumours ended up getting twisted](https://i.imgur.com/c1AyCTr.jpeg).
We didn’t get to see much of Rika in this episode but as someone who’s supposed to be just Takuya’s fake fiance, [she was getting awfully jealous for letting Claudia into his apartment.](https://i.imgur.com/hu4uvGT.jpeg)
I like how our “fake” couple is starting to learn the intricacies of marriage to other people. For this episode, that came from the princess. While the princess learned to finally get some courage to fight for her s.o. due to the two, these two seem to get some idea from the princess.
Well, Rika learned to start getting jealous when Oohara is with another lady. Talk about progress!
It is a win-win after all.
