[The otaku bond.](https://i.imgur.com/frRa4BA.jpeg)

I feel somewhat bad for Akari, she thought Aqua wasn't an option... and she's kind of right. Who's to say how things could have gone differently. But I'm wary of any potential nonsense she could stir up in the future, considering how much she already caused.[ Well it will most likely be minor compared to whoever this is.](https://i.imgur.com/n4dk0hG.jpeg)

PeaceAlien2026-02-01 15:52

Akari seems to have given up after being refused. The sequel's heroine will be more of a problem.

Frontier2462026-02-01 16:12

Even in the next episode preview it looks like Aqua is already flirting with Icilla (the sequel Heroine).

Frontier2462026-02-01 16:13

We can only hope that Akari is now purely Hartknights' problem.

PeaceAlien2026-02-01 15:51

For a second when Akari found out Tiara was a player, I thought Akari was rooting for Tiara. Well... Akari did, but just had to be refused by Aqua.

Akari is a real noob gamer, she keeps spamming abilities with no plan.

Akari seems to have given Tiara a warning about the sequals heroine challenging for Aqua. Betting they'll be another player.

Frontier2462026-02-01 16:11

I mean, as a fellow reincarnated Otome gamer, Tiara must totally understand why Akari wants to hook up with the fan preferred male lead, right?

But this isn't a video game and the Heroine can't get away with attacking another woman, and she can't make everyone in the world fall in love with her.

PeaceAlien2026-02-01 16:13

Tiara definitely understands, that's why she was scared it would actually happen

Lulukassu2026-02-01 20:05

Tiara seems to have limited memories of her past life. She remembers loving and making sweets and the content of the game, but beyond that it's unclear.

ObvsThrowaway51202026-02-01 15:51

Maybe it’s time for Akari’s trifflin ass to reincarnate again. Being another Player doesn’t give her the right to try and hurt Tiara to force some “happy ending” for herself. That’s crazy. I hope she’s truly learned her lesson but it feels a little too easy. I doubt she’s just giving up entirely.

I’m a little curious about this other heroine from the sequel. What’s she like? Is she gonna end up being another Player too?

Frontier2462026-02-01 16:13

Honestly the fact that she still acts like this is an Otome game where she can get with anyone she wants and get away with everything she wants is really kind of scary. Especially when she has power to actually hurt someone like she did to Tiara.

Is this the end of Akari's Villainess phase? Will the sequel Heroine be a decent person or also want to hook up with Tiara's fiancee?

LeonKevlar2026-02-01 15:58

* [**Aqua & Tiara**](https://i.imgur.com/c7vwrZB.jpeg)

When Akari finally figured out that Tiara is another player, [I really thought they'd find a common ground](https://i.imgur.com/omAzYss.png) and become friends. It turns out, [Akari is still pretty much a psycho](https://i.imgur.com/nCuDUEG.png), so I really don't [believe that letter from her](https://i.imgur.com/C3PV8kt.png) at the end. Someone as obsessed as her wouldn't give up so easily.

[I am curious about the sequel's heroine, tho.](https://i.imgur.com/6LLEnSr.png) Is she gonna be another isekaai-jin just like Akari? If she is I hope she won't be as psychotic. And I guess we'll also eventually meet the villainess from the sequel game. It would be amazing if Tiara ends up befriending the sequel's villainess.

Frontier2462026-02-01 16:10

Is it wrong that I'm starting to feel bad for Hartknights that he's stuck with Akari who only really cares about him and this world in as far as they're just game characters she can enjoy at her leisure? And that he's still her second choice versus Aqua? At least it was nice to see her in handcuffs like she deserved.

We don't always end up involving the Otome Game's sequel plot, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes. Especially when Tiara has, by her own admittance, no knowledge of the sequel game beyond Aqua's existence.

justking14142026-02-01 23:05

> At least it was nice to see her in handcuffs like she deserved.

She’s still living in a luxurious tower and will be royalty soon. Maybe she deserved a bit worse than handcuffs

As for the prince, I definitely lost all hope in him when he was happy that she still claimed she loved him. WTF dude? This girl destroyed your entire life and just tried to assault your ex-fiancé who you were just trying to get back. Drop kick her out the flipping window!

Lulukassu2026-02-02 02:59

She's too valuable for that.

Besides, he already fell for her so hard he was about to banish the woman who was working so hard to be a worthy wife for him, what right does he have to throw away the woman he foolishly chose instead of his betrothed?

justking14142026-02-02 04:20

He already tried to throw her away and go back to his fiancé before learning that her new engagement was already set in stone.

Lulukassu2026-02-02 04:26

He may have been considering that, but I didn't see anything to say that was a solidified intention 🤷‍♀️

Prestigious_Spend_812026-02-01 18:12

Akari is the most entertaining part of the show and without her I hope the sequel\`s MC can spicy things up, because Tiara is a pushover without any agency and the Aquasteed still creeps me out, he kissed her eye what\`s wrong with this dude?

Lulukassu2026-02-01 20:10

Kissing a crying eye is a really sweet gesture.

Monk-Ey2026-02-02 08:19

Salty I'd imagine, but who even knows with Tiara's horribly unbalanced diet ^^/s

Frontier2462026-02-01 16:08

I guess it's reasonable that after seeing the Holy Prayer, Tiara would be worried that the "plot" would play out and Akari would steal her man from her. AGAIN. Those pesky Heroines, never making it easy for the "Villainess."

And it's not like Aqua was fooled by the "dysfunctional magic instrument" - he quickly finds out it's Akari. And he actually DOES seem interested in obtaining the Holy Prayer...but Tiara at the moment can't do anything but wait.

I really can't believe Akari already made the effort to make Hartnights her and she still can't settle without trying to do the same to Aqua...she's really treating this like she can pull the Harem route.

Thankfully Aqua finally sees her again and informs her that, contrary to her fears, Akari and Hartnights are now officially engaged so she doesn't have to worry about Akari as a love rival any more! And Aqua was never, at any point, going to choose another woman over her. Not when he would rather kiss her tears away and then kiss her!

Akari, don't you know it's rude to teleport into a ladies' bedroom unannounced?! Though I guess it was about time the two Japanese reincarnators who played this Otome game to come together. It would've been nice for them to commiserate over their shared experience, and in a way they do, but at the end of the day Akari is still treating it like she's playing the game and she has a leg up on Tiara because she actually played the sequel...and Aqua was her favorite character. So that means she has to make him his with her power as the Heroine, no matter what Tiara (or Aqua) want. She doesn't see them as people, but romanceable targets.

And if Tiara won't give upon Aqua, Akari will MAKE her give up by attacking her and scarring her face to make her unworthy of marriage...but if Aqua coming to Tiara's aid isn't enough to make it clear which girl he prefers, on-top of princess carrying her, than saying straight to Akari's face that he doesn't need the Holy Prayer after she makes her sales pitch should be enough to dissuade her that he'll be hers. And thus did the Heroine end up in handcuffs.

Akari's lucky she's not facing serious prison time thanks to Tiara...and it seems like she's willing to settle for Hartknights at this point. I mean, she's still a massive fangirl for this world and its characters, so it's not like she doesn't care about Hartknights (even if she's his second favorite). Though somehow I just don't get the sense that her love is the same romantic love Hartknights thinks it is.

Time to head for Marineforest! With a tearful goodbye to Tiara's parents and Tiara acting more spoiled around Aqua, it seems like everything is going well! Even Akari wishes her happiness and success, and rooting for her (in Japanese) to not lose to Icilla, the sequel games' Heroine.

But Icilla DOES exist in this world...as do two ominous figures voiced by Junichi Suwabe and Hikaru Midorikawa!

NanDemoKnaives2026-02-01 16:10

The way this has been handled has been so weird I think I'm going to drop this here. I don't really enjoy Tiararose and Aquasteed as a couple, Akari's character is weird and all over the place, and now there's a chance Tiararose will have to go through something similar with the sequel game's protagonist. It's unfortunate because my ears perked up hearing Suwabe Junichi and Midorikawa Hikaru at the end lol.

Nibblewerfer2026-02-01 23:12

I dropped here as well, Tiararose is doing absolutely nothing beyond going "Oh noes." When we saw flashbacks of her actually being assertive in any manner I thought she'd actually show some of those qualities.

Instead I picked up another romance series of the season which has hooked me much more strongly.

If the ending here teasing new characters was placed an episode or two ago, maybe it could've kept me but at this point to little has happened, and the main character seems to have absolutely no desire for agency.

Charming_Green_31532026-02-02 09:40

what was the series that hooked you , i am feeling say way about this

Nibblewerfer2026-02-02 13:01

Tamon's B-Side I just picked up, but "You and I are polar opposites" I started after episode 2 of this. Both are great so far.

Charming_Green_31532026-02-02 13:08

Good to here! I tried B side 2 weeks ago and loved it! Polar opposites might be worth a look!

Magnafeana2026-02-01 16:12

OI time 💃🏾

Akari’s voice has me this 🤏🏾 close to putting her ass on mute. And that’s a compliment to her seiyuu; she did a great job making Akari irksome. I love it when actors make us viscerally react like this. That takes skill and is commendable.

The kisses 🙌🏾

I know where you can shove that little kyaa~ 😒

I just realized homegirl went to bed with that hairstyle. That doesn’t seem healthy for your hair. Get a bonnet, babes. Hair care is a must. I’m still in my wrap.

Supportive families are da best.

Well. Good luck, Hartknights.

***

Maybe all these “heroines” should be put into a death game. We’d find out real quick who the villainess really is.

Y’know. Having an arena/brawler style game where the characters are specifically various OI heroines and villainesses for you to play as and fight against—that would be pretty damn dope. With mini games that test your knowledge of the story and a love interest who is now a damsel in distress. Hm.

The animation for all the magic is so pretty. Thank you, animators.

Akari’s eyes look so lifelessly. I don’t think they have that white gleam in them. I kept mistaking those reddish dots as her pupils.

Frontier2462026-02-01 17:06

Yumiri Hanamori really makes Akari sounds so annoyingly cute and oblivious.

djthomp2026-02-01 18:13

Alright, everybody who's not an isekaijin raise your hand. I suppose it's only two so far, but we know there's another heroine incoming and I'd be shocked if she isn't one too. Per the episode PV she's a mermaid so I assume we're getting a Little Mermaid style otome story next, preferably without the sea foam ending when she loses to Tiara.

Akari is incredibly lucky she's too valuable to dispose of because wow did she fuck this up by flying off the rails of the established routes she was familiar with.

More Tiara and Aqua make out sessions, I appreciate the amount of physical affection considering in some shows you best be satisfied with a single kiss in episode 12.

Frontier2462026-02-01 18:22

First it's the Japanese Beauty ideal Heroine, now it's a mermaid. What's an accused Villainess who has so far only really been shown to be good at baking things and scolding people to do!?

At Akari she got to feel what it's like to get arrested and she's confined to a tower like she's basically an imprisoned princess (which she effectively is). It's still better than she deserves, but now Hartknights is stuck with her.

There is a surprising amount of kisses in this Villainess anime. I feel like the selling point is basically how lovey-dovey these two are for each other.

Lulukassu2026-02-01 20:07

'preferably without the sea foam ending when she loses to Tiara.'

If she's like Akari I would not necessarily mind a seafoam ending

Monk-Ey2026-02-02 08:23

> All right, everybody who's not an isekaijin raise your hand. I suppose it's only two so far, but we know there's another heroine incoming and I'd be shocked if she isn't one too.

I'm suddenly imagining this concept (and the show as a whole) taken to the extreme:

There's an otome game series with a shared setting that's as long running as Final Fantasy and every heroine in it is a reincarnated player, but each of them died before playing their respective sequels.

Imagine your otome isekai, but now you have 15+ girls with varying levels of information, intentions and love interests, all competing against either one another, or a central character à la Tiararose.

AlexUltraviolet2026-02-02 13:51

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out Aqua is a reincarnate too and that's why he's so laser focused on Tiara (as in, a player whose favorite character was the villainess, akin to Rae).

Murky_Bit14872026-02-01 19:01

So Akari really was reincarnated as well! In the end, she supports Tiara so that she can defeat the heroine of the second game. In the future, I’d really like Akari and Hartknights to grow genuinely close, get married, and then visit Aqua and Tiara. Eventually, I would like to see Tiara and Akari working together to fight the villain of the second game.

Lulukassu2026-02-01 20:02

She literally mentioned Aquasteed's role in Game 2 as early as the second episode 🤣

cleaulem2026-02-01 19:33

And here I thought that the story with Akari really escalated quickly this episode. Turns out she is not going to be the main antagonist for Aqua's attention.

This figures. I was wondering in earlier episodes if Aqua being the main route on the sequel would be important for the story.

DefiantPomegranate642026-02-01 20:02

Its difficult to enjoy tiara as a character. Right now, she has done nothing. No magic, no forethought, no using her modern world knowledge to increase her usefulness/standing. She just reacts to what does on around her and thats really boring for a main character. At least she's nice i guess, unlike Akari. The think is though the game completed in the same way as the original. Akari married heartknights and Tiararose was 'banished' from the kingdom (she left the kingdom for bridal training but she still left so you see what i mean). She didnt change any core events from the first game. But her ending up with aqua will be changing the second game, and we still dont know if thats possible, right now it seems like aqua will choose her and she doesnt need to do anything. But what if he gets his mind wiped like in other villainess animes, and then tiara will actually have to develop some agency? who knows

theblackbarth2026-02-01 20:30

I really doubt it.

She is very much a self-insert for the otome gamer audience, the same way edgy boys with no personality are for male isekai focused shows.

She is just a nice girl, who is sweet, loves to cook, read and has never been loved, which works perfectly for the main demographic. From the preview and the current episodes, she also reflects that low-self esteem behavior which will get then again and again reinforced by the characters around her that she is amazing, and gorgeous and loved.

Frontier2462026-02-02 02:20

Tiara feels like Aileen but with way less personality and charisma.

No-Impression-42822026-02-01 21:14

My god, Akari is so fucking annoying. She is lucky she was not reborn in "May I ask for one final thing", because Scarlet would have used her as a punching bag the minute she did that.

NationalStrategy2026-02-01 21:25

NGL, this isn't doing much to keep me hooked. Tiara's bland, the romance is uninteresting, and the plot/premise is as generic as they come. The only interesting part of the story was Akari, and we're basically done with her as an antagonist. Hopefully, the sequel heroine will spice things up.

flightlessCat92026-02-01 21:58

I cannot think of another anime where the MC does literally nothing and things just happen around her. Akari pulled the holy prayer move and it got resolved in the background while Tiara sits around?! She's basically a passive observer in her own anime.

amsimon2026-02-01 22:03

Anyone else confused by the scene when Aqua says he wants Akari? I know he goes back on it later when he rescues Tiara but I don’t know what to make of that.. It feels like he wavered a bit when he first learned about the holy prayer. The conflict feels somewhat light in this show so it’s not like they’re building up to Aqua being a bad guy. It almost feels like we’re missing a scene when Aqua reflects and realizes the holy prayer isn’t worth losing Tiara, but given his character so far it feels like that should have been his stance all along.

ChampionshipIll61712026-02-02 09:48

Solid ep tbh. Which part did you like the most?

SYZekrom2026-02-02 12:54

I forget, have we seen what the heroine's real world counterpart was like? I can't help feel like whoever got reincarnated into the heroine was like legitimately a young kid irl.

Oooh is the heroine gonna be friendly with her? If so, peak

Nope nvm.

Girl really said 'yea I have this kingdom's secret power, anyway hey foreign prince wanna take me away so you can have this power for your nation instead' girl if that power you had was removable from you I feel like you'd be tried for treason at this point

...Ok *now* ig they'd be friendly? Though doesn't feel like she'll really show up again that much. Seems like the story's moving on with the setting.

daspaceasians2026-02-02 14:54

I just like the fact that Prince Aqua is aware of how everything is just too convenient in this show lol.
