In many parts of Italy, there is a mythical tale that is told during the Christmas season. This tale is about the Christmas witch, also known as La Befana. La Befana is said to visit children on the night of January 5th and fill their stockings with gifts and treats if they have been good. According to legend, the Three Wise Men asked La Befana for directions to find the baby Jesus, but she didn't know the way. She then felt regretful for not joining them in their journey, so she set out on her own, searching for Jesus. To this day, she continues to search every year, flying on her broomstick and going down chimneys to leave gifts for children.

i think it's very funny that the prince is 100% in the right but is written to be a huge rear end in a top hat to make the plot work. hell yeah dude, arranged marriages suck rear end, and you very clearly like this cute girl that seems perfectly nice. better ruin your fiancee's life as part of an elaborate ruse

To summarise, he s not just being a jerk - he s showing all the signs that he will be a bad king while showing no indication that he s willing to abdicate the power and responsibility of being a king. The battle with the dragon was a tough one, and the dialogue during the fight between Anis and Euphie was impactful, and I find their relationship to be very nice, and it s developing quite well.

To this day, she continues to search every year, flying on her broomstick and going down chimneys to leave gifts for children. She is often depicted as an old woman with a long nose, wearing a tattered shawl and carrying a broomstick and a bag of gifts. The tale of the Christmas witch has become a beloved tradition in many Italian households.

The magical revolution of the reincarnated princess dragon curse

Can't check the episode right now to compare, but from what you're describing it's probably some kind of finger ring

Yep, definitely looks inspired by finger rings (but is of course rendered entirely useless by the amulet thing blocking the hand. )

The many additional bars on a swept hilt's function is additional protection for the hand and to look pretty. That's all they do.

You say that like "additional protection" isn't reason enough on it's own. Making them look pretty is just an added bonus at that point.

Arc en ciel is a great name for a magical tool. Loved it Nanoha, love it here

When you want to say rainbow, but you gotta make it cool. Here's hoping Anis gives Euphie increasingly ridiculous gear each episode. Start a revolution with the power of a bullet loaded magic hammer. The king and prime minister continue to be good as well. Trying to dad properly despite the expectations of station and politics.

For those that've read ahead, does the isekai stuff end up a big part of the plot or is it just tacked onto the story because that's what sells today

Isekai does come into play majorly (not in a bad way) in the future but I don't think this season will cover it.

if next episode ends volume 1 we should be getting to volume 3 in the anime which does deal with some of the Isekai stuff (also has some other amazing scenes too)

So far at least, the main purpose of the isekai is to explain why she's so weird. Moreover, she's not just randomly inventing things willy-nilly, she is specifically recreating modern gadgets with magic; ie: everything on the shelf in her workshop is something we, the viewers, are familiar with but Euphie is not.

Beyond being an rear end in a top hat, the problem is that he's showing zero political awareness with regards to how massively disruptive this will be - the heir to the throne getting engaged to the daughter of the prime minister is an event with much greater significance than whether the two kids in question like each other very much (after all, that's what mistresses and concubines are for). If you're dead-set against the arrangement, then it takes enormous preparation and diplomatic nous to untangle the whole mess without triggering a coup or civil war, and he's showing precisely the opposite of that.

So yeah, even if he was just an idealistic kid in love, then this would still be a huge problem requiring all hands on deck to resolve. As is, it feels like an actively hostile power-play against the throne.

To summarise, he's not just being a jerk - he's showing all the signs that he will be a bad king while showing no indication that he's willing to abdicate the power and responsibility of being a king.

Maybe this isn't quite clear if you don't read a billion shoujo isekai stories, but the "prince denounces his evil fiancee and chooses true love" is a stock scene as overplayed and hard to take seriously as "the chosen hero must defeat the demon lord." So on the most basic, he IS supposed to be seen as heroic and romantic in that sort of context; it's the culmination of an offscreen cinderella romance between the commoner and the prince.

But BECAUSE this is so overplayed (well, not really, it's more like "the butler did it" in terms of seeming cliche despite not actually happening that often in stories), it's trendier to parody it by shifting our sympathies to the villainess, which requires making very contrived reasons for the prince to publicly humiliate her. In fact, this reversal is so common that Anis immediately recognizes it ("this sort of thing really happens?"). And then the story goes on to parody THAT by immediately shifting focus again to the political ramifications. So it's like a double-layered parody of what at its core was a sincere appeal to true love over arranged marriages.

Yeah, I don't even read/watch that much shoujo but I've picked up this much at least. The villainess reversal is very popular at the moment.

Children hang stockings by the fireplace, hoping that La Befana will visit them and leave treats behind. Families also gather together to enjoy a special meal on the night of January 5th, known as the Feast of the Epiphany. This tale reminds us of the importance of kindness and the spirit of giving during the Christmas season. It shows that even those who may initially seem scary or strange can have a kind heart and bring joy to others. The Christmas witch, La Befana, has become a symbol of generosity and the magic of the holiday season..
