 But, it's been quite a while since we've had an anime focusing on a female character who buys a slave that she'll most likely fall in love with. As of late that's largely been the harem bros territory.

The plot is kind dark. The merchants abduct and sell fairies as slave traders.
The heroine moves away after her mother is gone. The heroine's childhood friend proposes to her, but she rejects her. She believes his request is merely sympathy. The heroine buys a fairy as her bodyguard. The fairy calls her scarecrow(might be her slender body image). The heroine calls him back as crow. |

I was kind of curious about this series, and the first episode was promising enough. Better than Fairy Gone if nothing else. I'm guessing we'll get some interspecies romance eventually but it'll probably take most of the season.

Is that Aya Hisakawa as Anne's mother? Who better to give out some pleasant exposition! And it means Anne has good genes, especially when we see how pretty her older self is
 .I honestly don't think Jonas is proposing marriage to her out of pity, he seems to have been selling himself to Anne too hard for me to think he wasn't somewhat invested in her choosing him, but Anne would rather chase her dreams than be tied down to marriage. Not that it precludes her from falling in love  .That Anne kick was quite effective and cute! Although I guess it's understandable that little fairy didn't immediately thank her knowing what he's probably been through, but we know from the Opening that he ends up joining her with a much more sunny disposition  . Jeez, it's really rough for fairies. Get half their wing stolen and get sold as slaves with people holding onto part of your heart that they can torture or control them. Not even Anne is completely free of this because she has to partake in it for her own protection as much as she wishes otherwise  .Shall calling Anne "scarecrow" is cute and all, but we know it's just building up to when he finally calls her by name  .Shall is your classic brooding, cynical, suave, and darkly handsome Shojo love interest, and he knows how to get Anne flustered. It's also fair of him that, given the unequal nature of their relationship, there's no way they can really be friends. All the same he doesn't seem immune to her attractiveness either  .Hmm...I wonder who Liz is. Former lover? Childhood friend  ?I guess it makes sense that Shall would try to steal his wing back (and a beautiful wing it is!). I can't think it'll take them an entire season to get to Anne's destination, so it'll be interesting to see how they justify him sticking by Anne (beyond the obvious falling for her)  .They weren't kidding about him being a Warrior Fairy. He sliced through those bandits like paper  .The Opening is pretty nice and sweet, featuring Anne getting busy making stuff, the supporting cast, and some romantic dancing and staring between her and Shall. Almost looked like they were about to kiss  .

It's been a really long time since I saw a shoujo romance like this one, the asshole ikemen and the cute naive girl. It has been too long and I don't know if I'm still into it, I'll give a chance.
I just hope it doesn't become a reverse harem or those guys in the opening aren't going to be much in the way of the couple, at least one of them is already out. |

I'll give the show credit for not pussyfooting around the slavery aspects and Shall calling out Anne's self-serving and hypocritical "We can be friends" while wearing his slave "collar" around her neck for the BS that it was.
Of course I wasn't born yesterday and I know that the story will almost certainly move into romance territory at some point. But, hopefully it'll at least be after she sets him free as she claims and with some considerable build up.
