No joke. This is orders of magnitude more sincere and touching than any of the generic isekai slop its title is parodying. I'm eager to see more of our best boy Boxxo.

Squirrel-senpai saying "I think I can see why you were chosen" is such a refreshing reaction to OP main character powers. Like, he isn't complimenting the blessing, but her as a person and how she's been using it. Unrelated, but the boy sure loves his nut-based desserts, lol.

I've been having fun trying to work out everyone's powers, and this week was especially easy because their names were mostly just regular words, lol.

French, German, and Russian vocab lesson

  • Cheval: French for horse
  • Qualle: German for jellyfish (makes sense for the maritime squad commander, lol)
  • Adler: German for eagle (and we got to see him in action)
  • Volk: Russian for wolf

Trying to decide how awkward I think Jinshi is going to end up being around Luomen once he learns that's Maomao's father (if he doesn't know already). Will he turn on the charm and be offputtingly sparkly? Or will he crumble to dust and be unable to function? We shall see, lol. I'm sure Luomen will recognize Jinshi instantly, considering their history, but he'll also probably clock his crush on Maomao too, so it'll be interesting to see them interact.

I was hoping for something a little more substantial than this, but I guess it's the best we're gonna get until the next season....

I like how they're portraying Yu's main flaw: that something preserved cannot wither, but also can't grow. Meanwhile, Himari needs to do some maturing and realize she'll never get what she wants if she never actually asks for it, and she can't expect Yu to read her mind.

I thought this last time too, but Shinji is a really fun character. He clearly knows the girls very well and is having fun stirring the pot.

One "listen to me when I'm trying to tell you my backstory" please

While I generally agree, I think it's always worth keeping in mind that sexualizing every female character all of the time can make women and fem-presenting people feel unwelcome in our communities. It's especially important to remember that when there's a decent-sized group of cis/het men who consider that part of the point of fanservice - just look at the gamergate crowd.

.... Was that Skinner hiding in plain sight at the homeless encampment? Doug, maybe look a little closer, buddy.

Jill has some good mama bear energy and I'm glad to see some trans rep that feels natural instead of mean-spirited.

Love to see my boy Choppy shine. I think his song was really well done and I'm looking forward to more from him.

I really like that this is flipping between Philia's iyashikei-style romance and Mia's spy thriller plotlines. They're both being executed well and the contrast is quite funny.
