Overview (Spoilers Below): Kiyoka accompanies Miyo to the remains of the Saimori home at her request. Later, a stunning visitor comes by their home.
Our Take: The previous episode was the one to remember in this surprisingly fantastic series. We not only got a thrilling rescue mission that isn’t without a sentimental turning point for Miyo but also a satisfying conclusion depicting the Saimori family’s downfall. Considering the despicable actions by Kaya, Kanako, and Minoru, it made me happy to see instant karma rain upon these arrogant pieces of shit. That would’ve been the “happily ever after” Miyo and Kiyoka got based on the assumption, but that isn’t the case, as a new threat arises to tear their love apart. However, this episode doesn’t just focus on that. Instead, “Glamorous Lady of Summer” serves as a closure to the prior events and a beginning of a new journey for these characters. We see Miyo and Kiyoka heading to the remaining Saimori residence one last time before Miyo starts anew with their engagement procedure. Of course, it isn’t without the final visit from Kouji, who informs Miyo he’ll be moving to the old capital to improve his powers. Meanwhile, the Saimori family moves to an old house in the countryside, including the still stubborn Kaya. As for Minoru, he’ll be answering to the Kudo family from now on, meaning he, too, won’t be bothering Miyo for a while. Afterward, the episode introduces us to one of Kiyoka’s family members, much to Miyo’s delight. This time, it’s his older sister Hazuki (Felecia Angelle), who volunteers to teach Miyo how to be a lady. Since a special party is arriving and Miyo wants to be an excellent wife to Kiyoka, it makes sense that she wants to start learning sooner rather than later. Regarding Hazuki, she’s basically another sibling whose mixture of cheerfulness and stubbornness results in embarrassment, mainly for Kiyoka. Regardless, she’s another delightful character to watch, thanks to her personality and Felecia Angelle’s vocal performance. Overall, it’s not as emotional as the previous episode, but it’s engaging enough to provide a fulfilling closure to Miyo’s miserable confrontation with her cruel family. More importantly, it serves as an intriguing start to more dangers lying ahead, including one with ties to Miyo. With the addition of demonic monsters being unleashed from the Grave by a mysterious cult and Miyo’s recurring nightmares, it would be an interesting test to see how the show will balance these elements with the romance genre for the remaining episodes.
