The succubus part is still weird, and I hope it doesn't go too far in the future, but it seems Rirui is till just a young adventurer in the inside, and that's what matters for now.

PeaceAlien2026-01-14 14:27

Glad it looks like they won't do anything with the succubus for now. But it's anime, so idk if I should trust it long-term. Rirui did sniff Hajime so the signs are there.

Missingnoleader2026-01-14 16:11

You only need to trust an anime for as long as it airs. If it ends with nothing happened then nothing happens.

tripleaamin2026-01-14 16:35

Also, it seems the manga has been publishing since 2016. More than likely, it is a safe bet that nothing happens that would turn off the wholesome vibes that the episodes mostly give.

Ymanexpress2026-01-15 08:56

Usagi Drop...

Missingnoleader2026-01-15 16:10

Lasted six years before it wrapped up. And that's a josei mind you.

Consistent_Egg_77182026-01-14 16:47

it's pedo bait, there's no reason to huff the copium.

edit: you guys might be right, it's not explicitly pedophilic, it's a grooming fetish. Totally safe! It's just waiting until your child bride is old enough

tehy992026-01-14 19:39

I don't think that will actually happen either. It seems like an inexplicable weird decision to have a situation that really really looks like pedobait but never actually goes there. But maybe that is just copium. Either way as long as that later material is never animated...not my problem

Consistent_Egg_77182026-01-14 20:03

There's a subset of fetish anime that is never showing it, like soft core porn vs. hardcore, or erotica, or burlesque. Part of it is intentional to the fetish, some of it commercial (like how softcore can sell more on more platforms). Manga fanservice works hand in hand with Hentai manga to develop harems that are shown as full on pornography in doujins.

re:not your problem - I don't personally know what you enjoy about this anime that you are willing to watch it and ignore that but that's up to you, I will call it out though. It was successful enough to make it past webnovels to anime so obviously some people will watch it.

VariousMeet2026-01-15 03:22

Downvotes are intentional idiots. Blue Archive is one of the most popular gacha games and it does this. Not a speck of erotica but it's all the fanbase talks about because it's the insinuation.

Consistent_Egg_77182026-01-15 03:53

I am used to getting downvoted this crunchyroll season for calling out the currently 3 daddy daughter pseudoromances. It's meaningless to me. Creating a discussion board where the comments have voting has always been the stupidest part of reddit.

HTC8642026-01-15 07:16

"Someone somewhere gets off to it" is not a good enough reason to for people not to like something. If you're not into the show, that's completely fair. But the need to make everyone else weird because they are into it, is just trying to make yourself feel better by claiming an imaginary moral high ground.

Consistent_Egg_77182026-01-15 18:19

Lol I'm not yucking your yum, you enjoy media about grooming children. Ironically, nothing will make me feel better about your existence.

HTC8642026-01-15 18:30

And your reply confirms what I said.

Consistent_Egg_77182026-01-15 18:36

yeah it confirms that you are actually weird and don't like people pointing it out. lol "imaginary moral high ground"

HTC8642026-01-15 18:37

And you keep proving my argument.

Consistent_Egg_77182026-01-15 18:52

lmao ok man you win the philosophy of gooning discussion, I'm going to keep posting about these shows and you can keep watching them

abandoned_idol2026-01-15 03:17

This story comes off as too cartoonish to feature a parent/child relationship. I'm not relating to the "wholesome" comments.

I wonder if we have any fathers among our discussion threads. I'm morbidly curious.

About the "pedo", it just seems to be bland ecchi to me. But there's no denying the I'm 29 and I adopted" premise. It's not even a good execution of the fetish. XD

EffectiveImportant512026-01-19 19:48

I think I let my guard down when they explained the world and this just being a multi-species world where people end up with ancient traits. Even if they did use the dark background for vampires et all. Veronica and Orc guy seems to confirm they just live alongside everyone.

PeaceAlien2026-01-14 14:26

'Swine' is an interesting guy, pays for punishment, but then got Hajime to call him Swine for free!

TurkeyPhat2026-01-15 02:12

hey a masochist isn't above a good deal

GloriousNipOnSteel2026-01-16 07:28

He was the real winner in this episode. Even got tied up and given lots of tongue ~~action~~ punishment in the dungeon, couldn't stop winning!

djthomp2026-01-14 14:43

Well, at least all Rirui did was sniff Hajime all night long? Very small mercies.

Veronica trying to recruit Rirui all episode long was definitely sus since there's an extremely obvious business that would have one succubus employing a bunch of other succubuses. Her threatening Hajime at the end if he had tried anything with her doesn't quit fit with that though if her business is just more of the same but for money. I wonder if her real motivation was just to get a relatively defenseless young succubus off the streets, there's way worse possibilities than a gruff but good-hearted dude adopting her as a daughter.

Chair needs to never speak again, possibly never appear again.

I was expecting the sword being right outside the treasure chest to be the hint for the cyclops that they were inside, but instead it was for Hajime angst.

Boris-_-Badenov2026-01-15 12:14

>at least all Rirui did was sniff Hajime all night long

*this time*

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-14 14:54

Hajime shouldn’t have let the drinking get to his head. Bro was saying all that nasty shit to Veronica and look what happened! She turned it right around on him, the little shit stirrer lol.

Even though Rurui’s a succubus, it seems her relationship with Hajime’s still pretty wholesome.

Shmappii2026-01-14 15:33

Making a child character a Succubus is one heck of a choice and I feel like the writing is trying to explore it with the intention of landing on a parent-child dynamic. It's technically doing that, but I struggle to see the point of having Rirui sniffing Hajime all night or Veronica looking her up and down before focusing on her chest for a minute. Like, "We could totally go down this road, but nah, just kidding. Hajime had funny doggy dream and Veronica's POV was a fake out covering for her checking to see if Rirui was alright. Really had you going there for a minute, haha."

tripleaamin2026-01-14 16:47

I give this show credit that they made sure that Hajime KNOWS that Rirui is a succubus. I would have been turned off if he wasn't informed of it.

Though while it makes sense to be wary of a succubus-daughter type of relationship. Still, it is definitely something you don't normally see.

Though so far Rirui acts like her kid self mostly in her older form. Which we can see when Veronica rage-baits Hajime. So far everything has the intention of being wholesome, so far so I will stick with it.

They really made Veronica into the most sadistic succubus. Strangely, it turned into a cute dynamic between her and Rirui, with her teasing her. Though she is strong, meaning Rirui has the potential to be an adventurer even if it isn't the species's strength.

Though Swine is wild, lol.

Shmappii2026-01-14 17:16

There's another version of this story where Veronica doesn't play any games and just speaks directly with Hajime about responsibly raising a member of her race. It wouldn't set off alarm bells the same way this approach does, but I'm not sure it would fit the setting or be that entertaining.

and yeah, Swine. Sheesh.

Jehovacoin2026-01-15 03:46

It hit me that this whole story likely started from a more logical viewpoint of "how tf do you make a story about a child succubus". Like the very idea is so self-contradicting that anyone writing about it immediately runs the risk of being labeled as something. But how do you reconcile the fact that there must be child succubus out there if you can't talk about it? And tbh, I think the author has done a really good job of taking up the challenge. They keep it just on the side of wholesome, while still being very obvious that "yes, sex exists in this world, to the same extent it does in the real one, but this story isn't about that".

Frightlever2026-01-15 10:16

I dropped off it halfway through this episode. IF at the end of the season it turns out it was a masterpiece I can hop right back in, but I'm getting too many bad vibes right now.

Unapologetic_Lunatic2026-01-14 16:17

I saw the empty treasure chest, and my instincts were screaming, "It's a mimic!"

Then they went to hide inside, and that's when I knew it was safe, lol.

fraid_so2026-01-14 16:35

Same lol I saw it and was like "mimic!". And then nothing happened hahahah

Lodju2026-01-14 17:11

>I saw the empty treasure chest, and my instincts were screaming, "It's a mimic!"

All the lewd Frieren + mimic fanart i've seen has really done a thing to my mind.

NoJello82882026-01-15 04:33

I thought the same thing! 😂

jardex222026-01-15 11:02

I thought the same. "What's worse than your adventurer instinct leading you to a dead end with an empty chest? Well..."

Then maybe the orc would trip inside the mimic, killing them both while Veronica and Rirui escape.

Maccaz152026-01-15 17:40

I don't think I've ever seen an open chest as a mimic; only closed.

BiggerG72026-01-14 16:43

Glad to see the succubus thing looks like it’s not gonna change how Hajime treats Rirui and the show is gonna stay wholesome…….. for now.

AceSoldia2026-01-14 17:16

Still not sure why they needed the succubus part..besides that im enjoying it

Skoziik2026-01-14 20:39

Everyone seems to talking about it, so maybe the succubus part is just to get more attention.

abandoned_idol2026-01-15 03:12

Or denial, or a very easy to please audience. People talk positively about many anime.

Looking forward to watching episode 2.

NationalStrategy2026-01-14 17:19

Putting the fact that she’s a succubus aside, it’s still wholesome. Her sniffing Hajime in his sleep doesn’t help though.

abandoned_idol2026-01-15 03:10

The evidence you present undermines your claim.

If the child is sniffing the adult in his sleep, wouldn't that just make the writing come off as immature? (I didn't say gross, I said childish)

When I think wholesome, I'm imagining relatable characters, not forced tropes.

Missingnoleader2026-01-15 16:29

It's a fantasy setting where its clear the main character grew up in the slums and lost his friends along the way. Village Life Fantasy always has that slow easy going vibe, but with dungeons and monsters involved that mixes it up. But that wholesome vibe is that in spite of everything they are trying to watch out for the kids and raise them as happy and fufilling as possible.

SYZekrom2026-01-14 17:38

Cool

...Though I feel like that answered less questions than I expected. Is it just a thing that succubus children turn into adults at night? And it isn't going to be a problem because literally nothing else happens? Or well I guess she was sniffing him and that's it? And I assume Veronica is an actual adult? idk.

Lulukassu2026-01-14 22:38

Veronica was an adult during the day so yes, definitely an adult.

It's not going to become a problem because Hajime doesn't want that curse rotting his 🍆 off 🤣🤣🤣

jardex222026-01-15 10:59

It could also be that Veronica does have a small form, but she's learned how to grow past it during the day.

Lulukassu2026-01-15 13:04

Y'know, valid.

That may be the mark of adulthood as a succubus, learning to suppress child mode during the day.

SYZekrom2026-01-17 05:14

> Veronica was an adult during the day so yes, definitely an adult.

Veronica also turned her into adult form during the day by 'synchronizing' with her or something, so for all we know the child form isn't actually indicative of their age and instead just how much power they have, or maybe a lack of awareness and control of her powers to consciously decide her size. Not that I really assume this show is going to create a complicated power system/way for succubus to work

> It's not going to become a problem because Hajime doesn't want that curse rotting his 🍆 off 🤣🤣🤣

I mean he didn't show any real interest in doing things anyway beyond saying 'tits' out loud when he first saw her like that. And also he's literally the sleeping person in the situation. The 'this isn't going to be a problem?' was directed at, of course, the succubus that doesn't know what a succubus is turning into an adult. So far all we've seen from her is an interest in sniffing him while she's like that, but otherwise it seems like the fact that they didn't address 'things he needs to do about this' I guess means that nothing will happen out of it from her beyond the sniffing gag.

EffectiveImportant512026-01-19 20:00

I also wonder if it is just she is young and until maybe she reaches maturity then she will be able to stabilize herself or be able to get manifest the form she wants everyone to see her as. It would be interesting writing if the fluctuation is mostly because Rurui herself is unsure of who she wants to be.

Megadragon8982026-01-14 18:58

Socif the cyclope was a baby does that mean his parents will take revenge on Hajime Lol ?i want to know the story of the masochist elf became Veronica partner, did he try to hit up on her and discovered his kink after being beaten and humiliated by her?

Also i sincerely hope that it will not go toward romance with the succubus thing and more be a story of familial love.

Haunz822026-01-14 20:11

LOL, how can this show beat the accusations, lets take the kid succubus to ANOTHER succubus that runs an S&M business. :P

Edit:
LOL Some you idiots cannot take a joke. I actually really like this show. I think it is great.

Muted-Ambassador-3752026-01-14 21:31

It's so weird to have a child as a succubus, especially since the *ancient* species thing just seems to be a name for hybrids in this world. They could have made her anything else. 😅 Also, I'm joking now, of course, but would it really be so weird for a succubus to grow up in an S&M brothel ? Shouldn't this be kind of a natural habitat for her race ?

jardex222026-01-15 10:57

I think it's mostly as a source of comedy. They could have said changling, shapeshifter, or werewoman, but then they would need to explain why she changes in that specific way.

Missingnoleader2026-01-15 16:32

Every ancient race mentioned has its own seeming drawbacks. Like imagine if she was a Medusa. Succubus are known for dream infiltration and charming seduction so they're the most passive if you didn't know who they were. Of course we don't know if contraceptive magic is a thing, so you'd probably be less likely to see a succubus child in a brothel versus out in the wild like Ruirui.

Viktorv222026-01-14 21:46

New characters are fun.
Good vibes so far!

alcanthro2026-01-14 21:57

Oh thank the writers that it stays wholesome.

NSFW_justlegal2026-01-15 17:53

They're the same people that scared us with the potential of unwholesome though. I'm conflicted. I picked this one up because I'm also 29 and well, I watch a lot of new anime when it drops. Still deciding to keep or drop this one. Will give it a few more episodes.

pmmeyourfannie2026-01-14 22:28

Is this one any good at all? This season is kind of packed

Lulukassu2026-01-14 22:39

It's good. Definitely not top tier in the season, but good 👍

Meander0612026-01-15 02:24

If you have room for a warm-and-fuzzy take on adventurers, this one won't hurt.

pmmeyourfannie2026-01-15 02:26

Sold

Meander0612026-01-15 02:55

👍

abandoned_idol2026-01-15 03:07

Episode 1 looked extremely generic, but at least it's not giving off "self-insert-lit-rpg" vibes.

And lots of reddit users are very generous with the "wholesome" claims. If it was up to them, couches, stools, and rocks would be "truly whomesome".

It's a comedy anime. Feels aimed at teenagers. Nothing wrong with it.

I'm... I'm praising it, but it's not that good. It's not the "I should watch it" anime.

jardex222026-01-15 10:53

It's not bad. Rough adventurer takes in an orphan girl due to his own childhood trauma. The catch is that [Episode 1 end] >!she grows into a young woman at night.!<

So far it's just been a source of cute comedy, so I'm giving it a chance, at least for the 3 episode rule.

Haven't really search out other shows yet, so my schedule isn't that full so far.

pmmeyourfannie2026-01-16 01:51

that sounds kinda... uhhh....

jardex222026-01-16 02:04

Yeah, I'm on the fence too.

So far it's been made pretty clear that he has no *interest* in her grown form, and they haven't used it for fan service at all.

On the other side, he doesn't act like a father or guardian to her at all either. He had it rough while growing up and doesn't want to coddle her. When he says, "Those that don't work, don't eat," he stands by it, rather than taking pity on her failure.

IceSmiley2026-01-14 23:39

Veronica is pretty evil wanting to take in a little girl to have her become one of her stable of prostitutes. Rirui is very lucky to have Hajime even though he's far from a perfect parent. He does well if you think about how he didn't have parents at all though and seems to be an alcoholic.

That weird masochistic elf was really funny. I wonder if he has money to afford Veronica as a dominatrix or if she keeps him around as an errand/slave boy to do whatever and act as a chair when she feels like sitting.

Meander0612026-01-15 02:22

> I wonder if he has money to afford Veronica as a dominatrix or if she keeps him around as an errand/slave boy to do whatever and act as a chair when she feels like sitting.

Why not both?

EffectiveImportant512026-01-19 19:55

I think it is projection. We don't know what she runs. there are plenty things I can see a succubus running that does not need to be full on brothel. Even if it is a brothel. her Protectionist nature suggests she probably has her like the assistant courtesans (from apothecary diaries) or a bar back or an attendant for the ladies. There were young girls but they did not actually do sex work just got trained.

oneevilchicken2026-01-15 02:17

The succubus part is cause this show is just someone’s blue archive fan fiction about Ibuki and Sensei

NoHead17152026-01-15 04:02

Veronica is such a sadistic bitch, but also really entertaining. Hope she appears regularly to check in on Rirui.

GloriousNipOnSteel2026-01-16 07:30

She's in the OP in a prominent placement so probably a frequently recurring character. This may or may not have been a copium observation.

DrZoark2026-01-15 11:25

I thought it was a mimic, lol.

SecretYogurtcloset572026-01-15 11:36

A succubus that turns to a loli during day and turns to a hot adult at night yeah i wouldn't wanna give her up either 😏

Intelligent-Bonus6752026-01-15 14:25

Deadass bro?

buzuki122026-01-16 03:04

This ain’t it chief.

This one is wholesome and the little girl deserves a parent figure.

MC looks cool enough to know what it feels to be an orphan without any relatives at all.

Intelligent-Bonus6752026-01-15 14:24

I think I’m dropping ts it’s getting wayyy to weird a child as a sucubus but not only that Veronica is trying to recruit a child to become a prostitute. Id probably still drop it if it wasn’t a child idk having Veronica come in recruiting her to that kinda buisness then telling her it would be safe and shi idk it’s freaking me out

Fools_Requiem2026-01-16 05:24

Looks like the overreaction to her being a succubus was just that, an overreaction.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-16 23:16

The chair really enjoys his job, I didn't expect Hajime calling him a swine to bring him such joy, I thought he was restricted to Veronica.

But meh, I'm going to drop this series, there's too many things I didn't enjoy about it and there's plenty to watch on Wednesdays.
