Plot[edit]

Anisphia, the Princess who remembered her previous life at a young age, as well as her old self’s intense love of magic, set off to live out her fantasies in the fantasy world she finds herself in. During a magical mishap, she stumbled upon a scene where her brother Algard was breaking off his engagement to his fiancée, Euphyllia. With Euphyllia stripped of her title as the kingdom’s next monarch Anisphia offers for Euphyllia to come live and research magic with her as they plan a way to restore her good name.

Characters[edit]

Anne-Sophia "Anisphia" Wynn Palettia (アニスフィア・ウィン・パレッティア, Anisufia Win Parettia)
Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi[1]
The first princess of the Kingdom of Palettia. She was reincarnated from her previous life with all her memories of modern technology, making her a keen inventor in her current life. While considered odd and only interested in her inventions, she actually thinks of her country more than anyone else.
Euphyllia "Euphy" Magenta (ユフィリア・マゼンタ, Yufiria Mazenta)
Voiced by: Manaka Iwami[1]
A high-ranking noblewoman within the Kingdom of Palettia and Algard's ex-fiancé, after he broke off their engagement for allegedly bullying his true love interest, Lainie. She is very talented in studying, magic, politics, and martial arts, but she has a cool atmosphere that keeps others away.
Illya Coral (イリア・コーラル, Iria Kōraru)
Voiced by: Ai Kakuma[2]
Anisphia's maid. She has a deep loyalty to her, having been helped by her in the past, and shares a bond with her that more than just a typical master-servant relationship.
Algard "Ali" von Palettia (アルガルド・ボナ・パレッティア, Arugarudo Bona Parettia)
Voiced by: Shogo Sakata[2]
Anniphia's younger brother and the crown prince of the Kingdom of Palettia, as his sister had given up her right to the throne. He is also Euphy's ex-fiancé, having broken off their engagement after she allegedly bullied Lainie, his genuine love interest.
Lainie Cyan (レイニ・シアン, Reini Shian)
Voiced by: Hina Yomiya[2]
A commoner-turned-noble and Algard's love interest whom Euphy allegedly bullied. It is eventually revealed, however, that she is actually a vampire who had accidentally charmed Algard, and Euphie's "bullying" was just a misunderstanding.
Tilty Claret (ティルティ・クラーレット, Tiruti Kurāretto)
Voiced by: Yū Sasahara[2]
A low-ranking noblewoman and Anniphia's only friend until Euphy came along. She was born with powerful magic that made her mentally unstable, causing people to believe she was "cursed", until Anniphia developed a drug that limited her magic output.

Anime[edit]

In August 2022, it was announced that the novels would be adapted into an anime television series. It is produced by Diomedéa and directed by Shingo Tamaki, with scripts written by Wataru Watari, and character designs handled by Naomi Ide. The series is set to premiere in January 2023.[1] The opening theme song is "Arcane Shell" by Hanatan.[2]

Reception[edit]

As of January 2022, the series has 180,000 copies in circulation.[22]

The light novel was generally received positive reviews. Anime UK News gave the first volume a 8 out of 10 rating, commenting that "Piero Karasu manages to capture the delicate balance of keeping things light-hearted and also emotional when it needs to be."[23] In Anime News Network's 2022 Spring Light Novel Guide gave it a 3 out of 5 rating, Silverman notes that "Piero Karasu has a nice touch with the girls' attraction to each other that makes the romance really slow and sweet." however she criticises that this is "buried under too many pages of world building and explanation."[24]

For Anime News Network's 2022 Spring Manga Guide the manga adaptions was given a 3 and half out of 5 rating. Silverman notes that while the light novels struggles to find a balance between world-building and plots, as well as havin too many narrative voices that all sound alike, these issues "are largely absent from Harustugu Nadaka's manga version. In part this is simply because the manga format, with its use of speech and thought bubbles, negates the need for the confusing narration found in the book"[25] Erica Friedman, the founder of Yuricon, notes that while the first volume of light novel left them feeling uninspired, the manga was well done enough for her to continue reading the series, "You want to know what the grand experiment is and how Euphyllia can help Anisphia and you cheer for them both as they launch themselves into a grand adventure. [...] now I’m kind of interested in reading more of the manga to see what happens."[26]
