There she is! Wridra is my absolute favorite character in the series. Can’t wait to see more of her animated. In general I really like the adaptation so far. The main selling point of the series is to feel the happiness of the mundane through someone else’s eyes and the animation and voice acting do a banger job delivering on this.

The cozy romance side of this is absolutely perfect, but I’m also pretty impressed by the isekai side as well. They’re setting up a decent mystery in why he’s able to cross over, and also we can see that he’s clever and tactically-minded without the show needing to tell us he’s a genius or is relying on some cheat skill.

I worry a little that this will turn into an unnecessary love triangle / harem (a common worry of mine and for good reason, lol), but I’m giving the benefit of the doubt for now and guessing that our dragon friend will be a knowing third wheel following them around for snacks.

This series is such a good mix of comfy slice of life, food/cooking, and fantasy. The dynamic between the two leads is great too. I knew what to expect based on reading the manga, but the execution so far has been good. The focus on katsudon this episode is well timed as that is what I am making for dinners this weekend and now I am looking forward to it even more. This will be me by the time Sunday evening rolls around. @rikka@ani.social
