    I think in the Anime the houses are made more colourful to give more visual effects. I don’t remember paint or colour being mentioned in the LN apart from possibly the North of the city where the guilds and Bennos Store is. (The rich part)

    The Pancakes / Parucakes were because the parufruits husks were used for bird feed as there was no taste. It’s because of Mynes knowledge that she combined the tasteless husks with the liquid to make a tasty food. As sugar is expensive there is only Paru fruits to use as sweetener, They also only come rarely in winter so it is not a common food.

      Good to hear.

      The issue I have with that is that historically it’s taken a lot more than that to stop poor people from eating things, and from figuring out how to eat things. In Nordic regions it used to be common to mix flour made from tree bark with other, less shitty flours during times of famine. It kinda felt to me like the author was looking down on peasants just so the main character could be cool or whatever.
