A relaxing episode again until I saw Myne collapsed.

Damn, I really hope she's doing well mentally especially for her age. Good thing she's got close friends taking care of her. Lutz is such a good friend to have.

Maine's attempt to make failed. It'll be a long journey to make a book.

I like Lutz's character. He's so nice.

Putting it right next to the firewood. This outcome was to be expected...

Lutz really is a greater character who carries Main no matter what. Hopefully, he will succeed with the plans he has for himself.

Another thoroughly enjoyable episode. Turi's baptism and the excitement caused by her hair piece was a nice touch, so was Myne's obvious pride and adoration of her sister.

I've got a sneaky suspicion that Myne's fever and her rainbow coloured eye syndrome, has something to do with her reincarnation, and could potentially be key to the story later on.

Not sure why Myne didn't store put the wooden tablets somewhere safe (under her bed?), rather than in the wood pile where the fire wood is stored. They're obviously using her push to get a method for making a book to drive the story on, so assume these trial and errors will eventually lead to a break through that allows Myne access to her beloved books.

Despite this anime have objectively nothing remarkable about it, it's still one of the weekly episodes I look forward to the most. I really enjoy this anime but I wish they'd stop dragging out the obviously most interesting parts and taking forever to explain them. I understand that they are trying to build up her frustration from repeated failures and it is adding to whatever this weird phenomenon is, but I wish they would move along a little quicker. I feel like the last couple episodes have been practically identical in every way except for a couple insignificant progressions like the baptism and setting up a meeting with Otto. Everything this episode could have been squished into last episode without feeling rushed and progressed the story much further along. Is there just not that much source material to work with so they are trying to drag it out for a full season? Again, I really enjoy this anime and the relaxed slice of life style to it but I just wish they'd move along a LITTLE quicker.

Ltuz is such a good boy, also I think Main's fevers are due to that magic power she has being too much for her little body or something and it seems the magic is controled by emotions, at least she started to notice and with Otto's advice maybe she'll start making money, heck maybe Lutz will be the merchant that sells her stuff.

The story is the most lacking part of the show, im surprised at the :re season 2 levels of pacing we have right now.

Any more faster and it would be a speedrun.

OMG MEIN IS TOO CUTE!!!!!

Seeing her constantly have her creations really sucks and I get angery with her when it happens. Im getting the feeling we arent going to see her make anything even remotely similar to a book until the very end.

It'll be interesting to learn more about that magical power that Mein has with her glowing eyes. I think its related to the original Mein and how she got transfered but who knows.

Im just waiting for Mein to finally start selling stuff that she makes and get tons of money. Absolutely love this anime, best of the season so far. Cant wait for the next episode.

Except it's not. Disregarding that the regular firewood is bigger, still has bark, is shaped completely different and is stacked instead of layed out. The reason you store firewood is to let it dry out. They have an entire room full with dry firewood, but for some reason use the still-wet wood from yesterday? No way they would make a mistake like that.
Moreover, with Main creating weird things all the time, what mother would go, after seeing something completely irregular: Ah let's burn that. Instead of the: probably something my daughter is making. Let's leave it or maybe ask first? Just because something is located in the designated drying room, does not mean it should be burned. It's just cheap writing.

Otherwise I enjoy the story greatly. But if the writer wants something to happen, atleast make it plausible.

I can only imagine how upsetting these events must be for Main, cuz it’s getting darn frustrating just to watch 😑 She really needs to work on her communication skills, especially since her mother seems to have latent pyromaniacal tendencies 😧 Strange, unidentified pieces of wood? Burn ‘em! 🔥 Lutz inexplicably brought over some unusual wood? Burn it! Burn ‘em all, bwa-ha-ha-haaaa!!! 🔥😈🔥

Did u forget? there only one bed in the house for All family. So there is no safe place in the house including under the bed, because it will definitely be known by family members.

Yeah the whole situation was stupid. Why did Main store the wood there? Why didn't she tell her mother about it? Why did the mother pick this wet and unusual wood to burn? Why does it seem like Main has now given up on this idea while the only reason it failed was a misunderstanding?

You can see that it was necessary to keep the story going but you can't ignore that kind of cheap trick. I expect the writing to be more subtle than that, otherwise it's gonna get old fast. The kids stomping on the clay tablets was already pretty dumb but at least it wasn't the reason why Main couldn't write on them.

Yeah.. not the best plot writing here. As others have said, there's a few problems with the whole "repeated failures" thing. Mainly how the failures are being framed as though her ideas are a lost cause.

The clay tablets explode in the thing (kiln?), then find another way to dry them.
Mother burns the wood, then tell her not to next time.
Mother burns the bamboo, also just tell her not to lol.

But Main talks like it's an impossible task which doesn't make much sense. Also it's making the mother out to be stupid in a way that makes her annoying to the viewer. When the kids were being annoying before, it was fine because they were dumb kids and not established as people we care a great deal about like Lutz or the family.

Still, I'm enjoying the hell out of this anime overall. The relaxed, super chill pacing, Iguchi Yuka's voice is perfect for Main and she's doing a great job bringing her to life. The art and animation isn't technically impressive (at all) but looks nice in a simple way which actually fits the anime very well. Music choices are good. I especially love that ED.

It's a 7 right now for me, but could be an 8 if the actual plot was a bit better conceived.

One last thought: I think this anime benefits from the lack of relaxing, simple, slow-paced shows similar to it in recent seasons. It's certainly possible to do it better, but when it's barely being done at all, it doens't take as much to hit the spot for people who want this sort of content.

I think we finally got a hint about why the original Main died. Her magic reacted to her pain from the fever (which in itself could be a result of her magic feeding off her childish anger) and she wanted to "get away" from the pain.

So are her fevers all the result of her not having good control of her magic?

And I knew the second she put her wood tablets with the firewood it would get burned. COME ON you should've kept them safe in your room, not with the rest of the kindling! But seriously when her mom burned Lutz's wood too I was pretty pissed at her mom myself

It's still bothering me how overdone the official subs are. They are using waaaay too proper/formal language in the subtitles, which is not equivalent to her much more believable dialogue in japanese. They're a total disaster.

Complaints aside, i feel her sadness in feeling that every attempt fails. I'm not sure why she or anyone else doesn't just say what it's for and not to use it...
(maybe they did?)

It's become fairly clear that her getting sick seems like it may be some kind of curse.

Main is starting to get some clues that she should be approaching it from a more business perspective. Some discussions were had in the previous episode about it, and here it is.

I mean she put it in that room to dry the wood and pretty out of the way honestly, lots of better wood at arms reach, alas what one finds logical may not be all that much so to others. Her moving on to other ways of doing things so far has led her to trying out better ideas (going from wood tablets, paper won't be too far off).

Her magical reaction is the cause for her mom behaving in a non-sensical way? Her magical reaction is the cause she doesn't try the wood plates again, but does try the clay plater a second time?

The baptism scene was nice but was kind of lost? The only thing that really changed is that we see less of Turi and the other 3.. So as if it was only a mean to get more time on the main cast

Flustered Main in the end was so cute xd looking forward to the 'meeting' nect week

She said it herself, she has NEVER been praised by anyone at all for her apperance, so of course she'll get all weird, also a blush doesn't automatically means she's has romantic feelings for him, just that she is experiencing a strong emotion.

Nn-yeah. I said she probably has a curse. A curse of misfortune, a curse of poor health and weakness and vulnerability to dispair... Her magical reactions are coming when she has intense negative emotions, and people are being like "oh yay she might have magic isn't that nice!" nobody is cluing into the negative context. I have every confidence she'll overcome it, but it's still an obstacle.

Turi receiving baptism, as is with every child once they approach the age of 7, thought that this was a nice touch of blessings, even as is with the manga. But as only a side character on the wayside, MC Myne still is the main focus. Wished that could have more moments with the side characters too.

After the failure that is the clay tablets cooking on fire, another attempt is made with wood. To add into the mix, ink from soot.

I'd swear that if Myne's objectives are outdone, she will fall into relapse each and every time with varying levels of disappointment = the levels of her fever. Not to mention that she's been having all along are a curse in and of itself. And if not for Lutz who has vehemently helped her all along the way, she would not have survived the repeating ordeal.

Everytime so far, the magic aura has happened when Maine reacted to something that happened. It has been heavily hinted that her magic is the cause for her poor health. Nothing has hinted at her magic being a source of bad luck, or in other words, capable of subconsciously manipulating other people in a manner that makes the author look rather incompetent.

I really like how colorful the hairs are in this world. Turi looked very pretty.

Her plans failed once again. But making those pencils(?) surely is a big step up to her goal. Now all they need is another alternative for the wood tablets.
So her body and eyes glowing have something to do with her sickness. My only guess is that her sickness has something to do with her will to live as Maine.

They aren't framing her failures as insurmountable. They are framing Main's suffering as feeling insurmountable to her. Imagine that you're taking a difficult class and on the first exam you get a 40/100. You fire yourself up and say I'm going to do this, this, and this differently to improve. Your next test you get a 42/100. You get discouraged but see it's not impossible to do so you decide to try a few more different methods to improve your grades. The next test you get a 39/100. Now, in this situation, is it impossible to improve your grades? No, certainly not. But I'm sure after repeated failure, it's not a stretch to say that the situation feels impossible to you. That's similar to how Main is feeling. What's even worse is that she can't vent that feeling of frustration to people because the people around her don't understand what it is she is trying to do or what it is she is so passionate about.

And it's not a stretch that her mother used that wood at all. Even during her conversation with Main about it she specifically said she used Main's wood because she saw that Main tried so hard to bring it home to her. Her mother has always seen Main as a sickly child so now that she can finally move around and be active, she's doing her best to show Main that she's doing a good job with her new tasks. It's like letting your child help cook for the first time. Even if you know what they made tastes bad you'll still eat it and say it tastes good. It's positive reinforcement. So Main's mother using wood that's not completely dry and shaped differently because Main is the one who brought it is not at all plot-convenience or contrived. If anything, it's somewhat more realistic.

I think the underlying point here is that yes there is a lack of communication between Main and her mother but that is most likely a result of the disconnect between Main and everyone else, besides maybe Lutz. No one in this world knows exactly what Main's goals are. When she says she wants to write a book or run a bookstore the people around her don't understand because things like bookstores don't even exist and books are reserved only for the rich nobility. They live in a world disconnected from this so their immediate reaction is that Main has lofty fantasies but her family is happy because those fantasies are giving her something of a drive she never had before and that in turn is helping to improve her health. Sure they see that Main comes up with ideas they've never seen before but how is Main's mother supposed to know that the wood she brought home was supposed to be used for something other than a fire? And how was Main supposed to tell her mother that the wood she brought home isn't supposed to be used for fire when every other time she's tried to tell her family of her aspirations, they don't understand? With other knowledge she has shown her family like the shampoo or the pancakes, she had immediate results to prove she knew what she was doing. But at this point, she hasn't even seen if her clay-soot pencils will work so she has nothing to show her mother in the way of her goals to begin with.

Through this journey Main has found things other than books that excite her and bring her joy, her family included. But that doesn't mean she's immune to feeling lonely or discouraged.

Effa never said that in episode 1, only referring to the object as "this". Whoever made the sub took the liberty of adding the "wood tablet" words without knowing that this would cause this weird confusion later.
Main asked "what is that plank?" to which she answer, "ah, the price is written on it. I allows you to know how much it cost to buy it".

Also, I'm pretty sure that in ep 5, the word "wood tablet" is actually pronounced by Main directly in Japanese rather than in their language, just like "book" at the beginning of episode 1 was in Japanese as well so no one was understanding what Main wanted, and like almost every words that she use for what she "invents".

Despite this anime have objectively nothing remarkable about it, it's still one of the weekly episodes I look forward to the most. I really enjoy this anime but I wish they'd stop dragging out the obviously most interesting parts and taking forever to explain them. I understand that they are trying to build up her frustration from repeated failures and it is adding to whatever this weird phenomenon is, but I wish they would move along a little quicker. I feel like the last couple episodes have been practically identical in every way except for a couple insignificant progressions like the baptism and setting up a meeting with Otto. Everything this episode could have been squished into last episode without feeling rushed and progressed the story much further along. Is there just not that much source material to work with so they are trying to drag it out for a full season? Again, I really enjoy this anime and the relaxed slice of life style to it but I just wish they'd move along a LITTLE quicker.


There's 22 volumes in Japan. Compared to the LN the anime is going fast

Manga and LNs are notoriously bad at pacing and drag stories out way too much in order to keep selling new copies, so it doesn't surprise me that the anime despite its slow pace is still faster than the source material. Frankly this bad habit is one of the major reasons why I never read manga or LNs. It just takes far too long for anything to happen. And before you or someone says it, yes I understand that in many if not most situations anime suffers from the reverse and has to cut important content to fit constraints but I'd rather that than having to read dozens of volumes for hardly any story progress that could have just as easily and effectively been told in half the time.

They aren’t releasing "Volume 1 part 2" soon, they’re releasing "Part 2 Volume 1" soon (this Sunday). The ordering is important and comes directly from Japan. The Part X at the front tells you which arc it belongs to so "Part 2 Volume 1" is actually the first volume of the second arc making it the fourth volume total.
Now it is true J-Novel Club do release volumes in pieces on a weekly basis but this is only to subscribers and you can’t buy these. They’ll be releasing "Part 2 Volume 2: Part 2" (which should be interpreted as the second piece of the second volume of the second arc) tomorrow for subscribers.
Also for reference "Part 2 Volume 1" which will be for sale covers chapters 078-103 of the web novel and "Part 2 Volume 2: Part 2" which is not for sale should cover chapters 107-109 of the web novel.
