My reaction face folder is just itching with anticipation. Shin for example may have effectively won the game of life, but going from moonlight smooches to baby making will take some effort, and considering his level of experience (not to mention Sicily’s), you damn well know this trail to lifelong happiness will have more than a few hilarious pitfalls. the battle for harem dominance-and leaves space for some seriously entertaining events later on, especially in terms of relationship building. While arguable whiplash, it is a development I can get behind because it takes away one of the key sources of ubiquitous isekai tension-i.e. Yet here we are with new ring, new outfit, and a new promise of bad things eventually befalling our thoroughly smitten couple-don’t deny, you know that minor plotline pretty much writes itself. Frankly the speed of Shin’s engagement really caught me off guard here I imagined we would be up for some cutesy, slice of life-esque dating moments for the remainder of the season, not full blown preparation for sexy times.

While it arguably has been a given for several episodes now, KnM certainly proved its trend bucking intentions this week, going from mild fan service to outright marriage faster than you can say weapons of mass destruction.

It may have only been a week ago we got a little touchy feely and promises of more to come, but this much, this fast? Somehow I could forget we actually have super serious story things to deal with in the not too distant future. With tennis apparently all the rage right now (next OPM episode when?) it’s a little surprising KnM managed to avoid the dreaded single week delay, but not enough to make up for the surprise on some other, more romantic ( heh) fronts. “A Grandson, Magic Device, and Engagement Party” 「孫と魔道具と婚約披露」 ( Mago to ma dougu to kon’yaku hirou)
