As i understood it, the misunderstanding with buying someone out went like this: - Lakan heard that Jinshi bought a very smart servant girl for himself from Virdigris house, but had no way of confirming which one it is, since MaoMao was never there while he was coming over. He gave Jinshi all those tasks to test if it's her or some other girl by seeing if she's as smart as him, if she's able to solve the puzzles same way he does. - When Jinshi and MaoMao went out that one time in disguises, during that same time Lakan went to Virdigris house to buy out MaoMao, not yet having the confirmation that Jinshi fully bought her out. The Granny told him she was already bought, and that conversation about "buying out a courtesan for a large sum" was overheard by other girls in the house, spread and shifted into "one of 3 princesses getting bought out soon"
Jinshi does seem to be a hopeless romantic type, I like how he comes off like an unbothered brat. But he is actually a genuine guy who cares, especially when it comes to Maomao.
In this case he was just testing him to see if he is corruptible... Taking a huge sum like that from an almost unknown would make Lihaku completely subservient.
My guess is that it was a test both for Lihaku's character and if he was after Maomao in anyway. Hence, Goashin's "no problem here" He's so possessive lol, Maomao isn't just his cat...she's Gyokuyou's cat as well. Someone remind him that!
For The Three Princesses, I think it depends on their popularity and debt. From the sounds of it, for those three in particular, they can leave if they want to. They dont even need to be bought out. (I could be wrong about that part, but she was also talking about how old she was getting too.) With all the customers they get, they have no debt to pay off, unlike the other girls working there.
"These episodes are really short" that's when you know the anime and writer are firing on all cylinders. What could Lakan be up to now? Looking back at all the incidents early on that later on had an impact can you think of anything events, dialogue that haven't been tied to current happenings? Do you think you'll get all your questions answered this season?
Yes when you get to the level of the Princesses they do actually have a lot of say on who is their client, let alone who buys them. Reputation is the make or break of a house in the pleasure district so “you get whoever you want as long as you have the pockets for it” will attract bad clientele like that douche son of merchant that tricked several girls. The granny is smart enough to know that not only respecting her girls goes a long way but also “you gotta win her heart over” is a sure way to make dudes invest a lot of money on visits and gifts.
@@relic5752 Not really. Trolling Jinshi doesn't make him bad. If so, Gyokuyou and MaoMao would be too. But this is an issue with the adaptation. There are a few details like that seemed to have slipped through the cracks when adapting the first original novel series
@@AndresGomez-ct7qb I've read the novels up to 11, I'm not missing out on any context. And I've never called him bad, he's just not a good person, simple as that. Instead of properly warning the target of an assassination plot about it, he deliberately gives him and his staff roundabout hints, he doesn't respect his daughter's will, he's described as someone you must not make an enemy of rather than a proper ally, and is just as much an issue as he is a helping hand. Hell, the only reason he *isn't* more of an issue is that others learn how to wrangle his worst habits. Lakan is a fascinating character and he's not Renaissance-Disney-Villain Evil, but he's certainly not as kind as Gyokuyou or Jinshi nor does he have the sense of justice that pushes Luomen or Maomao to act. Beyond that, there's a huge difference between the lighthearted jabs of Gyokuyou, Maomao's deadpan critiques and pranks, and Lakan legitimately sabotaging Jinshi's relationship with Maomao and using an assassination plot to toy with him.
@@relic5752 You realize the Light Novels aren't the original story, right? From the original novel series, to Light Novel, to the manga versions, things have been overlooked from the original serialized web novels.
@@AndresGomez-ct7qb I would argue that the web novels are effectively an initial draft, especially given the fact that, as far as I am aware, they never properly ended and each and every adaptation thus far has pulled from the LN series rather than the WN. Hell, some key characterization is very different between the two, so I don't hold the WN as the end all be all. At most, it's a decent guide as to how unadapted material might play out.
The chick who brought herself back to life was not only very tall, but also completely flat-chested. I'd be surprised if it doesn't turn out to be a dude.
@@biazacha . . . and they made a specific point that the guy doing it thought too highly of her to do it thoroughly. You're just pretending it's confirmed, when not only does the show provide zero basis for that assertion, it goes out of its way to indicate the exact opposite. Maybe it is a woman, but you're just making up stuff that contradicts what's actually in the show.

Not anymore, she's completely his, literally. He just burrows her to Gyokuyou
The writing for this show amazes me. So well done.

Maomao means catcat so jinshi calling her his cat is correct
"onegai muscle" intensifies
("how heavy are the dumbells you lift" was a silly show)
A silly show within a Hard AF universe.

I hope you add "The Yakuza's guide to babysitting" to your list of anime to react to next guys 🙂

13:35 "They make him [Lakan] seem so evil." Yeah. And in hindsight I feel that's one of the few gripes I have with the show.
I mean, he is absolutely antagonistic towards Jinshi and is actively messing with him. Lakan may have depth, but a good person he is not.

Es androgina como Ah-Duo
She just isn't traditionally beautiful but seeing as she's actually educated it probably doesn't matter much.
You do know that flat chested women exist, right? 😭
Since she did undergo a “post mortem” examination at least her gender is confirmed.
