Of the titles in the Winter '26 season that I actually finished, I gave this one the lowest grade. My scores for it mostly align with Richard's and for exactly the same reasons.

I'd only add that Tiara's VA, Mai Fuchigami (Miho in the Girls und Panzer franchise), came up with a rather whiny vocal quality for Tiara that grated on my nerves after a while.

I had to drop this one about halfway in. I just couldn't take yet another picnic/tea party/sweets fest and "conversations" that consisted entirely of how delicious the tea and sweets were. Every time it looked like the story might actually get going, it would come to a screeching halt for more tea and sweets. From the review, it sounds like it might've finally achieved liftoff, but it was past too late for me.

The "liftoff" wasn't any more impressive (or thematically different from the rest of the content), so you didn't miss much.

I forgot this was supposed to be a villainess show.
