Episode 10

Everyone's Reactions

Right at the start of episode 10, we got that visual that makes everyone want to scream "HUGE!!!" and we were all on the same page. We're starting to get a better grasp on Manjumaruo's role as the 'husband material' and her half-demon status, so their dynamic is getting more and more intriguing—it’s easy to see why people feel like they can’t help but propose. Ni-ro-kun’s mountain training, his friendship with the white snake Ibuki, and then getting attacked by Manjumaruo... turns out it was just a test all along. It’s good that he passed, but that shot of him unable to see the sky while resting on Ibuki’s lap felt a bit poignant. The BGM was great too, and I love how the background characters are leaning into the lewd side of things—it really feels like this anime. Also, some people were upset because the fake-out image looked so unrealistic, so balancing that direction might be next episode's challenge.
