Character
"I can't marry a man! If I'm going to have a lover, then it has to be a woman!"

- Anisphia Wynn Palletia

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. Because of her conspicuous eccentricities, she uses the name of Princess Strange Violent as she pleases. She has memories of being Japanese in her previous life and has a strong admiration for magic.

Due to her innate inability to use magic, she advocated magical science, or witchcraft for short, which is the study of artificially reproducing magic using scientific knowledge. She makes use of the knowledge of his previous life to work on development and research.

She goes hunting dragons alone, participates in monster subjugation as an adventurer, and does whatever she wants, and his parents are troubled by it. It has an engraving on its back that is made by dissolving magic stones and has reached unrivaled skill when it comes to strengthening physical abilities and manipulating magical powers. She was very reluctant to marry because of the issue of succession to the throne. She also renounced the right to succeed to the throne, but due to various reasons, she was reinstated.

During the struggle to resolve the issue surrounding the throne, she shared her thoughts with Euphilia. After Euphilia ascended to the throne, she took a rest period, and after that she worked behind the scenes of the newly established Ministry of Magic, assisting her newcomers.

Since the urban development plan was brought up, she decided to go as the person in charge. She's grown a little taller in the last two years, but she's still short by average. But she is said to have grown breasts. If you tell her, his face will turn bright red and he will get angry, so be careful.

Personal Biography
Being called "Marauder Princess" and "The Fool", there are many eccentricities (from the perspective of others), and on top of being unable to use magic, reproducing magic with magic is considered "Heretic", and magic is sacred. She is hated by the aristocrats who watch her. In addition, the runaway express is so loyal that he thinks that being unable to use magic is synonymous with death, and he has no intention of stopping his actions to become able to use magic. As a result, he is not good at making compromises with opponents who do not get along, and it is spurred by the fact that it is too unconventional to come to terms with the concept of aristocrats.

On the other hand, due to her achievements in magic, some experts such as soldiers and doctors praise her as a "genius", and the citizens like her so much that they want her to be the next king. Sir Grants, who has known her since childhood, likens her to a "calamity that knows no bounds", while also describing her as "capricious and fragile like the wind".

However, she realizes that if she becomes King/Queen, the castle will be dyed red with the blood of nobles during policy reforms, and she is "a ruthless dictator". do you want to be the next king?, she threatens Orphans, and she declares that she is gay. Anisphia is most aware that she is not fit for the throne, and partly because she does not want to exacerbate the civil war that his parents have forced into a stalemate that has been barely quelled, he is unable to take the throne, waived inheritance rights.

However, it is also true that the quality of the king is so high that some critics think, "If you can use magic, you are more suitable for the king than Algard. In the first place, the reason why her magic does not penetrate is that she, who cannot use magic, advocates, and practices it, and Anisphere herself understands that. Strictly speaking, she is suffering from inner grief due to the sacredness of magic. She does not have the qualities of a "king who stabilizes the country", and conversely, the talent of a "king who transforms the country even if it causes bloodshed" is outstanding.

However, she thinks it's okay to be a fool instead of disturbing the country and becoming Queen, and Anisphia seriously thinks she doesn't have the talent to be a Queen.


 * In the web version, the person who further fueled this self-awareness in the form of "self-drinking poison" later confessed. In addition, he often causes disturbances and is extremely angry, but he understands that it is necessary to maintain a balance between nobles and commoners. In other words, the point of being scolded is part of the calculation.
 * I acquired this kind of worldly art from my experience as an adventurer as a means of collecting materials necessary for the magic research process. Even so, she does not behave as a safe princess, as another kind of problem will plague the kingdom if she is not unconventional. However, her parents seem to understand that she is actually doing such a thing.
 * In the author's tweet, she touches on the world line assuming she becomes a Queen, but Anisphia actually becomes a tyrant. It's true that she's a ruthless dictator, but her goal is to bring about change. The goodness of the roots will not be overturned, and nothing will change, especially in the points of "desiring change" and "taking into account the fact that I will be hurt." If you look at it from a big point of view, you can say that people are inherently good people.

Another thing worth noting is that she has a natural instinct, and when she has a concern that can't be erased by that instinct, it's usually the trigger to pinpoint a serious incident. She was especially keen on her actions that started with her malice, and those who tried to shake the Kingdom of Palletia were all thwarted by her actions, whether they knew it or not.

On the other hand, her self-affirmation is low due to her upbringing, which was seen as an oddball and suppressed by those around her, and she is quite insensitive to her good intentions. She is good at complimenting others, but she is not used to being praised herself. Even if she takes Euphilia as her companion, it will take quite a long time to improve this weakness.

She also said that even though she was reincarnated, she only remembered the knowledge and concepts of modern earth such as airplanes (for example, the modern knowledge that this being is given is close). She has no memories of her previous life, and it's possible that she doesn't even know her gender. She understands that she is her current self, but she is very uneasy about whether or not she is truly influenced by her personality from her previous life.

In addition, the reason why she became homosexual is that when she was a child, she was seen as a tool for making children by male aristocrats (especially the Ministry of Magic, a group of believers in magic) because she was a member of the royal family who could not use magic because she developed androphobia.

However, in a broad sense, even though he has a phobia of men, he is currently friendly to those who treat her honestly and equally as "an individual called Anisphere" regardless of age, gender, or differences in position. Strictly speaking, it may be more correct to say, "I hate the old and twisted way of thinking that makes anise a national expendable item."

In fact, she simply refuses to have a man as her spouse, and if you look at her friendships and friends, there are quite a few male characters surrounding her, whether they are main characters or mobs. By the way, as an adventurer, she has been designated as the highest rank by the guild, but the people around her said, "Knowing her status as a princess, she has a frank attitude, but keeps a minimum distance as an idol-like existence." The relationship that I was able to do.

In addition, it seems that her behavior attracts others so that it can be compared to a "personalized", and her daring behavior should have been the fateful end of the day. It changes many people's destinies. She was on good terms with Algard, her younger brother and crown prince, during her childhood, but now she is confronted with complex emotions related to her above-mentioned succession to the throne and her inferiority complex toward Algard.

When she defeated a certain supernatural being, she was praised by her opponent as "a truly bizarre and rare person" and "a person of a small species called a human who paves the way with his own soul". She also learns that her existence is that Anise is a human with the name "Palette", meaning "It's ironic that a rare person is born from the bloodline of that spirit's beloved child." Deep words are spoken.

Abilities
"Every magician should use their magic to make other smile."

- Anisphia Wynn Palletia

Anisphia has no aptitude attribute, Even mana. But she will and determination in magic gave herself to conduct experiments and research to obtain attributes of her own, and she never stopped pursuing her passion for magic's deepest truth. Thus she hunts monsters for her raw material. She trains herself to how to hold weapons. Thus she can able to predict and instantly identify “the best personal course of action” during combat. Because she can almost predict incoming trajectory, avoiding attacks from firearms or magic spells is possible. A part of this curse is forbidden knowledge about magic and some secret of the world itself, after Anisphia inherits the curse from the dragon, she uses this knowledge to able absorb the power of the dragon's curse inside her by using the Dragon Tattoo/Mark as an act of safety mechanism to be able fully to control the power and thus adding the effect that she inherits, Anisphia able to sense any magicite (core) in her vicinity, and also the dragon curse can boost the power of Mana blade at full capacity of the blade.

Reception
As of January 2022, the series has 180,000 copies in circulation.

The light novel 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." In Anime News Network's 2022 Spring Light Novel Guide gave it a 3 out of 5 ratings, 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 criticizes that this is "buried under too many pages of world building and explanation."

For Anime News Network's 2022 Spring Manga Guide, the manga adaption was given a 3 and a half out of 5 ratings. Silverman notes that while the light novel struggles to find a balance between world-building and plots, as well as having 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" Erica Friedman, the founder of Yuricon, notes that while the first volume of the 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."

Writing for Anime Feminist, Vrai Kaiser praised the anime adaptation for its comedy, characters, and lack of sexualization of its characters, and expressed interest in the series as a new contribution to "genre yuri" such as The Executioner and Her Way of Life and Otherside Picnic.

Trivia

 * The whole series begins due to Anisphia's brother being irrationally jealous of her. She gave up her right to the throne to focus on her magic tool research, but her accomplishments made him feel inferior and a need to be special. Leading to him targeting the dhampir girl, whom he made out to the victim of Euphilla, his fiancée; he wanted the mana gem in the dhampir to become one.
 * He gets what he wants, but is stripped of his right to inherit the throne, and Anisphia is forced to do so; making his stupidity come full circle.
