This is actually a bit better than the source light novel because it eliminates the awkwardness of multiple indistinguishable first-person narrators and some of the excessive world building. The fan service honestly doesn't need to be there (although my annoyance at totally modern underwear in an otherwise mid-20th century world could be shining through here) and is anatomically suspect, but apart from that and ridiculously huge feet on all of the characters, this is pretty decent.

When Anisphia reawakens to her memories of her previous life, she dedicates herself to studying ‘magicology’ even though she has no spellcasting power of her own. A little night jaunt winds up with her bringing along Lady Euphyllia, who gets stolen away just when her life is falling apart. So begins the story of an over-eager lunatic and the magic prodigy she loves.
You’ll never convince me that the light novel is better than this adaptation because it is absolutely not possible. The whole reason this story works so well is because of the gorgeous art and how good it is at depicting, well, everything, but also how much it gets across and the vibrant world it creates.
Anisphia is a heroine of the first order, taking the hyper but inattentive and disinterested trope and just replacing it with hyper. There’s a lot to discover and enjoy in this new world and Anisphia’s got no time to think things through. The art gives her the energy she needs to be one of the best characters I’ve seen in some time.
She’s also got all her previous world knowledge, but she doesn’t exactly become overpowered - it just provides her with the means to think about the world differently (so far, anyway) and that’s an appreciable detail. It might be silly, since Euphyllia is clearly OP, but the fact that she’s the native instead of Anisphia gives this a really fresh feeling.
Speaking of our second lead, Euphyllia is about to be rejected by the prince, her betrothed, in a classic scene that was literally just replicated in this very same week of releases in The Holy Grail of Eris (and this is a lot more fun in that respect and lacks the pacing problems of its competitor).
Which leads to possibly my favourite scene in a manga in ages (Manga moment? Manga moment.) when Anisphia comes screaming onto the scene by smashing her way through a window on an out of control broom, then kidnapping Euphyllia to get her the heck out of there.
Yes, girl has met girl, and I am ever a sucker for a good yuri and this one starts off with some serious flare. Even when the story slows down or has some odd issues (boy, they really worked that fanservice button hard a couple times), Anisphia is here to carry the day. Sure, she might be a little thirsty, but she’s not totally predatory and, while Euphyllia might be a little less outward in her emotional displays, she’s got no trouble keeping her new friend under control.
So much of this just works and works and works. The world-building seminar, which is a bit leaden with text, is made utterly palpable by Anisphia’s ridiculous exuberance in delivering her lecture. She’s the encapsulation of that one person who has a hobby they’re absolutely enamoured with and really, really, really needs you to know about it.
Euphyllia is a lot more restrained, but the manga smartly gives us a lot of her inner monologue to compensate and she’s definitely the cool intellectual type anyway. She certainly has her role to play in the story and not just making Anisphia weak in the knees.
The yuri is both subtle and utterly blatant, depending on the character. Anisphia has all but outed herself to the world and makes no bones about her attraction to Euphyllia, though she definitely has her softer side for her new friend as well.
Euphyllia, meanwhile, seems like she just hasn’t figured herself out yet. There’s a lot of pointed dialogue about how she’s at loose ends now that she’s stuck at Anisphia’s villa, but she doesn’t really regret the loss of her relationship with the prince. Combined with the very sweet denouement to this volume, it at least implies a lot for the story to work with.
Sure, it’s not perfect. Anisphia can easily be a lot, although they kept her on exactly the right side of things for me to not find her annoying at all. The info dump does slow things down a bit and, even with all the fun, and the barest rumblings of an ongoing plot don’t appear until the very, very end.
But, and this is where The Holy Grail of Eris wobbled unsteadily over the finish while this one dashed effortlessly so, the groundwork for why these characters should matter to me at all has been well established ahead of them being given anything to do.
The fiancé bit is given time to breathe and then we work towards the dynamic of our leads as they learn to interact and what they want and what motivates them. It makes me interested and I don’t have to guess why I might want to read more, I already do.
4.5 stars - minor problems aside, which admittedly might lower my rating on another book, Anisphia and Euphyllia are great and such a good pairing that I’m already keen to see what they get up to. After that introduction between the two I knew there was no way this wasn’t getting five stars unless it utterly fell apart and it did quite a bit better than that.

Ha ha ha. I’ve been laughing a lot while reading this, so props there. Anis is wild, I mean gurl, come on — but hey go get your girl — a good intro set up for volume 1.

Read the manga adaptation and it's... Different, better in some regards, like pacing, and not better, like how some scenes are entirely skipped over.
The art is fine, shonen manga style in the action scenes, but there are a few odd mistakes that should have been caught and corrected in editing.
Summary: it's fine, some of the scenes make themselves better in fully illustrated format, but I still prefer the very flawed novel.

I found this series by chance looking for more yuri light novels and manga.
Reading the reviews, the manga is more interesting than the light novels but I am still curious and want to read them.
Princess Anisphia regains her memories from a previous life filled with cars and modern technology. In this new life and knowledge from her previous life, she begins developing 'magicology'.
When she is testing out her new broom, she stumbles upon her brother ending his engagement to Euphyllia very publicly and unjustly, the rumors about her harassing his actually love interest is taken at face value when it is possible the level in which is was done maybe not be true. Anisphia take is upon herself to kidnap her.
I love this and the reviews are right. The humor is the best part. I'm looking forward to seeing the progression of their relationship.

An isekai but this time the MC isn't in the story/the routes or trying to change things. She is just a princess living her eccentric ways. Because of the isekai she cannot use magic the normal way and so we see her go full scientist about it and make inventions and do other things. It was fab, and I loved how she rescued Lady Euphyllia from her brother and his friends during the condemnation event (and she wasn't even the villain) and decided to make lady Eu her assistant, plus of course hoping for more than that. Princess Anisphia loves girls. IF she were to become queen she would love a harem, haha.
I just love how chaotic Anisphia was, ADHD to the max, and I love how she always tries to help everyone.
I love Anisphia's maid, she is sweet but don't get cross with her. XD
I loved the last chapter which is from Lady Eu's POV.
And the art was so fun!

Princess Anisphia is a ridiculously charismatic protagonist able to lend emotion, humor and excitement into every scene of this manga. Euphyllia is immediately capturing but the depth they give to her makes her a compelling romantic lead and character for the plot. It feels far beyond the bog standard Isaki story where one's past life makes them uniquely equipped to deal with the world but instead Princess Anisphia is likely actively having her dreams hindered by realizing her past life in the modern world. I think the story has really interesting hooks for later conflicts and great romantic hooks for that building relationship between the two women. It's very good.

an excellent start to the series!! this tries to hit a bunch of angles all at once - yuri, isekai, fantasy, magic/almost-science, and more. somehow, it manages to weave them together in a balanced and engaging way. I love the romance that's beginning to develop here, and overall the world building and magic explanations are intriguing. princess anisphia really steals the show here...her interactions with her maid and her father are hilarious.
side note, there is a bit of unnecessary fan service at one point, but it's kept to a minimum and the character is portrayed as older(ish)...I think 17 or 18? so it didn't distract from the overall quality of this volume for me!

Notably hornier than the anime. Didn’t really need the breast and crotch shots of a 17-year-old in her underwear, but maybe that’s just me. Luckily not much of that in the next volumes out (so far). The inside covers of some of these volumes can also be… sketch, though. 😬 The anime also smooths out some unneeded issues like the broom getting lost, so some of those may annoy you if you’re coming from the anime.

Cringey, but I’ll give it a chance and read more volumes. Builds off a couple of tropes, but so far it’s not doing it well. I hope it explains why her brother and all his highly respected friends were so sincerely sure that his fiancée committed so many crimes. Of course it keeps teasing at yuri, but unknown whether it will really go there…

April 23, 20234/23 DNF Chapter 4. A mash of overused and ill-fitting isekai tropes with a lecherous lesbian lead and too many panty shots for me to put up with. Chapter 4 begins a magic infodump, so pass on any more.

It’s pretty mediocre better then some Isekai stories that I’ve read but that isn’t saying much tbh and it’s better then what I read of the of the light novel so if you liked the Light novel you would probably like this as well

4.5 stars. The emotional impact at the end sneaks up on you.
Also the women are so insanely pretty and their clothes are so cute and fancy and classy.

All of the characters are well thought out and likable. The author even got me to sympathize with the main two villains. Very well done villainess Isekai Yuri! The only problem I have with it is the ending… why…
