Kiyoka's sister only comes into the story at Vol 2, which the anime will be moving into shortly. |

It just shows how much of a pure heart Miyo has that her first immediate thought was to check to see if the Saimori's are okay, and to visit her childhood home (not that it was ever much of a home)...if only to see the last bit of her mother still left there .
Well, I guess justice was more or less served. The Saimori's lost their home and their standing and had to basically run with their tail between their legs to the countryside. They hushed things up but Tatsuishi lost his position and now the family is under the Kudo's purview. And Kaya will now have to live like they made Miyo live as a servant to a strict family, which I'm sure will go well. Koji seems like he might still want to marry her but she doesn't seem that interested now. Serves her right though . Was that Miyo's doing that destroyed the remains of the tree or the tree itself ? Find a guy who will joke about incinerating his dad if he refuses to let you marry . Well, I'm glad Koji was able to make peace with Miyo and plans to train and better himself so he's no longer as weak as he was here. Although poor guy...Miyo totally cut his confession off before he could even get it out. There's no place in her heart for anyone but Kiyoka. But at least Koji took it in stride . Yay! Miyo and Kiyoka are officially engaged! Now we just need to get the wedding ! Who is this Hollywood Starlet voiced by Yoko Hikasa and what is she doing in the Kudo household? Wait, she's Kiyoka's older sister? And she's going to train Miyo how to be a lady !? Hazuki seems like a carefree, energetic, and exuberant young woman, the polar opposite of her younger brother, and she knows how to teaser Kiyoka and utterly adore Miyo. Also she's coming from a failed marriage so she definitely has some relationship experience to contrast with how new at this Miyo is. Kind of wonder what happened there . I love Kiyoka just standing outside the room to listen in on what the girls are saying. No surprise though, because if he's not careful Hazuki might just end up stealing Miyo away from him ! So it's the Usuba blood in Miyo that's making her act up when she sleeps ? Are those the supernatural creatures Kiyoka talked about in episode 2 being released? Are they releasing them to get at Kiyoka so they have an opening to snatch Miyo ?

Miyo wants to know how to become a lady. It might be her first step to rebuild her self confidence. So, Kiyoka introduces his sister as Miyo's tutor. His sister is not on the cast list of casts of live action.
Spoiler for image size:
The tree that reminding Miyo about her mother is crumbles to pieces. Then, another tree is also crumbles during a cult ritual. Then, a new character claims he is going to pick up Miyo. It might symbolize the seal placed on Miyo is broken. |

I didn't realize Yoko Hikasa was on deck for this week. LN1 and LN2 basically serve as one arc though its possible the live action is only adapting LN1. |

So, Kiyoka's father was the one who extended an offer to have one of the Saimori daughter get a chance to marry his son, and being aware of Kiyoka's reputation, Saimori daddy chose to send Miyo instead of Kaya because he had nothing to lose this way. At best he'd get a lot of money, and at worst he'll finally be rid of Miyo.
Turns out Kioka and Miyo didn't need their dad's approvals to get officially engaged so Miyo's first meeting with her future father-in-law is postponed for now. But instead she gets to meet her future sister-in-law! And boy, is she going to be a better sister to her than Kaya ever was. No that it's a high bar to clear, mind you But yeah, Hazuki is really friendly and has already taken a liking to her. If she could, she'd even steal Miyo from her brother Kaya's punishment feels light but appropriate at the same time. She's basically going to experience what Miyo did, which will hopefully humble her. I think a member of the Usaba family is trying to make contact with her, but because of the barrier she only ends up having nightmares. That person is most likely the guy with glasses at the end.

Haha, Kaya sent off to live as a servant for a strict family . That's what we call delicious karma! I want to give Koji a pat on the back for not letting her die in that fire! I mean sure I guess it's possible she'll learn something from this and become a better person. But at the very least karma is biting back. Wish there was more for the step-mother, but I suppose losing a ton of servants and her home is a good enough hit for the moment.
Things are moving along. Good on Koji for looking to improve himself. Really, it's the best thing he can do right now. Pretty much got his rejection by Mio so he can start with a fresh slate. Hopefully he gets to a place that he'll be satisfied with. Kiyoka's sister is nice. Good to have positive personalities around Miyo. And I can also get her desire to take the girl with her because of how cute she is . Sadly forces are making their move. No way that Kiyoka can ignore a legit emergency like this. Will just have to hope Miyo will be ok. Which is easier said than done since this is all part of a plot to target her... Guess we'll see how this goes. Quote:
Now I don't think either were thinking in terms of consequences. Even in the best case scenario Kaya wasn't going to get engaged to Kiyoka through this nonsense. But Koji's father didn't care about that so that's fine. And frankly I think the step-mother was so angry at being talked down to for Miyo (of all people's) sake that she went along with this without thinking about what could possibly come of it. There's a reason that Miyo's father was kept in the dark on this. He would have been a (relative) voice of reason. But none of that relates to where they took her. Taking her to her old home was the best possible place to try and break her.

to be honest the fall out of the incident felt pretty underwhelming to me and I will keep saying is not enough.
my suprise was that they are diving in the supernatural a lot, I thought it was going to be just on the side but is in the main plot. The title should be my happy supernatural marriage. |

goodbye Kaya, hope we don't see her again. Maybe she was just tutorial boss.
Miyo learning to be a lady sounds like a good idea, her upbringing really didn't help at all, and she needs to learn to function in noble society if she doesn't wanna embarrass herself or her husband

I still feel like Kaya has a shot at being redeemed. Not for her own sake, but for Koji's. He's being presented as a sympathetic character, and even after all that's happened, he and Kaya are still engaged. I doubt the story is going to leave him stuck in such an unhappy situation.

It's a weird thing Netflix does that I started noticing with this show. They count the upcoming episode as being released. Last week it said 7, next week at the same time it'll say 9. I got fooled into thinking they had released two episodes at the same time a few weeks ago.
