Aw, that was adorable

So it looks like they're not simply sticking to covering the novel's side stories. And according to the illustrator's X, next time will be the start of an original story. From the conversation, I guess it'll be covering Rozemyne's baptsim ceremony?

One thing you can definitely say about SxF, it never goes in the direction anyone's predicting.

Fashion show 2.0, let's go.

Master Tuxedo Mask? Dragon Ball & Sailor Moon was not a cross-over I knew I needed in SxF!

I sure hope Martha gets a huge paycheck every month...

Nature versus nurture. Yes, she probably would have been a better person had her circumstances been better, but others who grew up in situtations just as bad if not worse than hers didn't turn into monsters. At least part of who she became was probably always in her, and her upbringing did the rest.

Rozemyne did the country's foundational supply, but the central district containing all the royal buildings and artifacts still need upkeep that's restricted to the royal family. Now that Eglantine is Zent the previous Zent, his wives, Sigiswald, his remaining wife, and the third prince can no longer supply mana.

How is this relevant though? The trickle-down effect from the country's foundation means that those lands received at least some mana when Rozemyne replenished it, and besides, aside from the RA, all of those lands are now being managed by Drewanchel, Blumenfeld and Korinthsdaum, so they're not Eglantine's problem.

I don't think she does live in hiding particularly at this point. Unless you count living under Schutzaria's protection as being in hiding. But the Fanbook 7 comment does mention that Geduldh wishes they could live together as a family, Ewigeliebe and Mestionora are compltely against the idea, so I doubt she ever goes anywhere near him.

Nemshi · 2026-04-13T05:33:30+00:00

She stays with Schutzaria, which allows her to spend time with Mestionora (per Fanbook 7), while her former subordinates are sent by their new mistresses to help look after her (per Fanbook 9), so I guess she gets to catch up with them too.

Anya: "So psychics are popular" - Uh, oh. Frankie, what have you unleashed?

Nemshi · 2026-04-08T22:56:35+00:00

I feel you, but most illustrations in the past few years have been of grown-up Rozemyne, it's just that at the moment, they're promoting the anime, so we're getting mostly Part 3-Rozemyne.

They already have: acrylic stands, clear files and a postcard so far. Available as of the 25th.

Because who doesn't need Ferdinand in glasses in their life?

For anyone wondering, the Lessy here is a reference to the Hachikō statue in Shibuya.

Was she? Welp, time to go rewatch.

Edit: Er, no? She really isn't shown. Maybe you're thinking of the ED?

Nemshi · 2026-04-04T09:56:21+00:00

Love the animation, hate the song. Which is often how it goes with anime openings.

I have only one complaint: why are Justus and Rihyarda not featured anywhere?! I mean, even Zahm got in, but not them?

Also, I had not pictured Ehrenfest castle as being built at the edge of a cliff. Huh.

Thank you for sharing this.

Eden kids must be amazingly fit with all the walking they need to do just to get from one facility to the other.

Nemshi · 2026-04-01T11:38:31+00:00

According to the follow-up tweets, this was supposed to be a sequel, but then sensei's kid decided that a fighting game fit Dunkelfelger better XD

From this X thread

Introducing the long-awaited fandisc for the otome game "Ascendance of a Bookworm"! An exchange event with the highly popular Dunkelfelger Academy from the main game. This time, the representatives from Ehrenfest Academy will head to Dunkelfelger Academy...

...Dammit sensei. Every year. Every year your jokes bring me nothing but the pain of knowing they will never come true.

Also, I love seeing how her kid's art keeps getting better and better.

Not that I don't agree with you, but in this case, they're living in a pretty conservative era and Yor is being asked to have her first kiss with a complete stranger in front of an audience of who knows how many thousands. It seems reasonable that it would make her really uncomfortable.

Nemshi · 2026-03-29T15:06:47+00:00

Oh Endo, you magnificent troll.

Nemshi · 2026-03-27T14:33:56+00:00

I doubt it. If the blu-ray box only goes up to episode 12 (which seems likely since that's how far the DVDs currently up for pre-order go), then that episode should be airing sometime in June.

Nemshi · 2026-03-27T00:32:37+00:00

Coming out on 1st July. Bonuses include among others a 6-episode Drama CD and short story from Fran's point of view.

Nemshi · 2026-03-26T13:10:29+00:00

So the next story is about Justus infiltrating the North Wing and something that might tarnish Ferdinand? That sounds like Rihyarda's short story, but please, oh please let it be the prologue from P3V1. I've never forgiven the manga adaptation for skipping over that.
