Updated Review 10/6/26: NOOOOOO I HAVE CAUGHT UP! 😭😭😭😭😭
Honestly, I was unprepared for how deeply I would enjoy this volume! I mean, I enjoyed it the first time I read it since I gave it five stars, but I found it had a really nice coziness after all the longing that Rose has been experiencing up until now. I think it gave me a new appreciation of how she is enjoying the new change in her life and how her feelings for Harij continue to grow deeper still.
Though I laughed so much about the earthworms! I REALLY hope they will be animated because everything with them and the chickens is hilarious! Poor Harij isn't getting a break anytime soon there! LOL!
Speaking of him, I love how proud he is to say that he met a woman and is now engaged! It really doesn't bother him in the least bit that Rose is a witch, and I love how that has continued to shine and be true in their relationship. <3
I am desperately hoping that Yen will put up a preorder for volume six because I'm eager to see these two's relationship grow, but also see all the new characters again that were introduced in this volume!
Original Review 1/15/26: This volume was SO worth the wait!! I deeply enjoyed every moment of it!
I think my favorite part was anything involving the earthworms because they were so cute, but I would hands down react as everyone else did about Rose being excited about them! LOL!! It was nice to see so many of her cute and earnest expressions during those moments! <3
I would say with that, too, I loved seeing Rose be safe and be happy! I don't think there was nearly as much romance as the last volume, but I found a sweetness in them being so close to one another at a variety of times that I was okay with that. Plus, seeing Harij "on the job" and totally not being afraid to say it was because of a woman he loves that he's changed was awesome!
Not only that, but the new character! Oh my goodness, she is SO cute! I hope we see a lot more of her! The way she looked up to another character really touched my heart! She seems so sweet!
Overall, I had a wonderful time reading this volume and think the only thing I'm sad about is having to wait for a new volume to release! LOL! Definitely continues to be as enjoyable as ever! <3
Is something wrong with me? I am looking at the other reviewers raving about this and I’m wondering if I’m the issue. I found the beginning of this next arc to be boring so boring in fact that if I didn’t love the first 4 volumes of this so much I’d be done. There was nothing here that interested me besides the art and I think Rose and Harij are adorable. These volumes take forever to come out so I’m hoping to at some point reread the series including this volume but as of right now sorry this was just not interesting to me.
This was okay. I am not really sure where the series is headed right now, this felt a lot like a transition volume. Now that they are engaged, I was expecting a lot more cute things to happen in this volume than they did. This was just okay, I wonder where the story is going now.
Aunque pasen cosas siento que el ritmo es muy lento y me aburre. Siento precipitado algunas decisiones que se toman y él sigue sin gustarme por completo. No seguiré leyéndolo.
Sadly, I found this volume in the series a bit of a disappointment. The art was, as usual for the series, absolutely gorgeous - especially all of the clothes. There were plenty of cute moments to enjoy, but after the first chapter where Rose moves in with Harij, not much happens.
I'm still interested in reading the next volume of this manga adaptation, but I hope we get some more momentum in either plot or character development. I realize it's a slow burn story, but, gimme something, okay?
Absolutely LOVE these two, but I wish we didn't have to wait so long in-between volumes. While they compromised on Rose's living arrangements, when she first arrives the head maid mistakens her for the new girl at first and feels out how the house views her being a witch. Then Rose discovers she has a lil fan/admirer who wants to be her apprentice.
Rose has officially moved into Harij's estate! I love this new chapter in their relationship. It's all so sweet and silly. Tala and Lulu are fantastic new characters, and I cannot wait for volume 6!
