Anime Review: Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp anime - 12 episodes based on webnovel

Elise is a spoiled princess who is executed and reincarnated in modern Earth. She turns into a new leaf and becomes a surgeon. Then she goes back in her time before the events that will lead her to her demise.

This is a mix of my first impression here on the blog, mini-impressions, and mini-review from Patreon. And with some new insights.

The premise of Elise has two layers of twists to the reincarnation and time loop tropes. For the first episode alone among the three anime, (7th Loop and Demon Prince of Momochi House) goes to Elise. In a short period, we felt like we knew her already and felt her sincerity to help. She's relatable in her reincarnated era. It took me a while to reconcile that they are the same person. But of course, gradually, the Princess Elise version won me over. But being a prodigy does not cut it for me. It's highly suspicious that she can perform surgery all from textbook reading with no mentor and practical experience. Still, the operations that Elise performs hooks you in the way medical dramas do.

Dr. Elise shares similarities with the other two winter 2024 anime. Like with 7th Loop, they go back in time to stop their deaths which entails breaking the engagement and applying their gained medical knowledge. Meanwhile, with Demon Prince, the similarity shook the reverse harem core but good thing the third guy appeared by the eighth episode. At least the three guys here are getting flustered with Elise unlike with the other two anime. This was clearly labeled as reverse harem from the get-go by fans but in the anime, it was just mildly reverse harem. And all guys are so vanilla. (lol) Better than nothing, right? Phew. At least one hit the bull's eye of being four flowers. (See Levels of Reverse Harem) No complaints with the animation and I love the guys' visual but I have a problem with Elise's thin eyebrows. (Haha I'm sorry!)

Dr. Elise OP

Dr. Elise ED

Doctor Elise reminds me of The Saint Magic's Power is Omnipotent as it feels so wholesome, and relaxing but it keeps you on your toes with the medical aspect. There's no super scheming villain that will keep you stressed like how royalty stories do in mahwa/webtoons. The finale is sadly short of spectacular. It has the recipe for a good ending but it felt like it ran out of steam. It's because everyone is too nice or the anime as a whole is so nourishing to a fault. But I'm saying this from a place of love. I love Elise.

This is the second reverse harem web novel that has been animated after Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion. Let me know your thoughts on the anime and the webnovel and webtoon too. The webtoon version is currently on Lezhin, Tapas, Pocketcomics and Tappytoon. Now this post wraps up my reviews of winter reverse harem. What's your favorite among the three?

Manga Review: Alice in Bishounen-Land Vol. 2 (final volume)

Alice in Bishounen-Land Volume 2 by Yushi Kawata Art by Yukito With the help of a new member or two, Alice and the newly-rebranded idol group Triple S progresses in the battles. Disclaimer A review copy was provided by the publisher. Check out the first volume review . The first volume is so weird but trust me it gets weirder. But once you got used to the humor, everything seems funnier this time around. The randomness of the backstories, the non-stop comical situations, and cheesy jokes. I'm loving them all now including the minor characters. The one thing that balances it all out is Alice. She's the shining beacon of reason and her spot-on observations make it more laughable. For something crazy, it briefly touches 'beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder'. And it's not in your face at all. It is refreshing and satisfying to get some key takeaways from both volumes when you're least expecting one. The isekai element of the story is set inside an otome

🍉 Summer Reverse Harem 2024 🍉(anime, manga, manhwa, light novels and more!)

Hello wallflowers! The season's lineup is a bit late as we do not have news of summer anime and dramas yet. For now we have kinda reverse harem, Dahlia in Bloom. I'm really hesitant in adding it in the lineup but as we don't have one yet might as well put this up. But I did see rumors of Lost You Forever Season 2 for July airing and Take Me Where the Clouds Rise (SaiMono) for Q3. I do hope it becomes true! However, I'm seeing comments that the latter drama did not get the license for adaptation huhu The Forbidden Garden edition has also been updated. Make sure to follow any of Reverse Harem Garden's socials ( Youtube | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Tiktok ) to be updated on the latest titles! And a few disclaimers: Some are not full-blown reverse harem. See Levels of Reverse Harem . Those that are not yet reviewed are considered unconfirmed reverse harem.

Anime Review: Kiskis! My Boyfriends are Mint Candies!

Kiskis! My Boyfriend are Mint Candies!- 4 episodes Tang Tang meet guys who each represent a flavor of mint candies. It has a catchy, cute opening. At first there's a different feel on it which I can't pinpoint. And then I realized that they are talking in Chinese! This is my first completed Chinese animation. Well since it was way too easy to finish it. It's 5-minute ONA for 4 episodes. I think this premiered last June 4. But the first Chinese animation I watched is still currently airing (unconfirmed reverse harem), Phantom in the Twilight, which is a collaboration between Japan and China. Oh back to back Chinese reviews after The Flame's Daughter. Is China going to be booming with reverse harem now?

Manga Review: I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2

I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 2 (Akuyaku Reijou Desu ga, Kouyaku Taishou no Yousu ga Ijou Sugiru) Manga by: Ataka Light novel: by Sou Inaida Art by: Hachipsu Wen All Mystia wants is to avoid death in the otome game she is reincarnated in and to keep her family and servants safe. However, the guys seem to have bugs and are either raising or missing events on their own. Disclaimer A review copy was provided by Netgalley. Check out the first volume review . In the first volume, Mystia meets two of Kyun Kyun Love's suitors, Raid and Eric. In this sequel, we get to see how she meets Jesse, the teacher. For the fourth guy, Robert, it is more of pleasantries. The nicknames in the first volume are still not crystal clear to me. The sparkling prince. The cool tsundere. The gaudy guy. The yakuza teacher. I managed to get the first two mixed up while the other two have yet to unfold their said attributes. The competitiveness between E

Reverse Harem or Not a Reverse Harem? Part 3 of 3: Princess Maid (webcomic) 37 chapters - ongoing

Princess Maid/Maid to be a Princess (webcomic/manhua) 37 chapters - ongoing by Koowa Group & Ayu & Heibaigeer Princess Sophia is a spoiled princess of Vesperang. Then overnight everything will be taken from her and the princess becomes a maid in the neighboring kingdom, Norterang. In Norterang there are five brothers: Alex, the cold eldest prince; Luka, the second prince loyal to Alex only; Cecil, the third prince with unknown motives, and the fourth prince Darcy who is sickly. There's a fifth brother not in the picture, the youngest prince Harry. The start of the story is reminiscent of how Akatsuki no Yona started but instead of going with Hak she was taken by Su-Won. But that's how far it goes in terms of similarities and it's a different story of its own. Sophia's strength is her cleverness. It's not super battling of the wits but I enjoyed how the story banked on that . I feel for her when she's being bullied but she hangs on and proved herse

Manga Review: Monster and Parent Vol. 3

Monster and Parent Volume 3 manga story and art by: Ichi Sayo Saika learns what the godeaters truly are and it's not pretty. Meanwhile, Aki is starting to act strange. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher, Jnovel. Check out the previous reviews for Vol 1 and 2 . The story turns serious and dark but in a good way as it nears its climax. E verything's on the table now including the current states of the godlings, Sow and Squeak. Okay, I'm 90% sure that Squeak is not part of the reverse harem since Saika is his mother figure. I swear manga tropes are going to be the death of me. This volume seamlessly tackled multiple flashbacks and in a short time, the characters are effectively given depth. And I just love them all. Squeak is so cute. Saika is so naive. (Not a compliment though) Mitsuri is cute when he's crushing over Izumi and scary at the same time towards Nagumo. This is Kazuomi's volume as indicated in the cover. He's always consistent
