Now that Azusa’s attempt to open a café was a huge success, she returned to her usual life. She decides to make a special treat. Also, Shaisha wants to meet a specific goddess, Mega-Mega.
Azusa and her family had breakfast, and she wanted to go to the southern forest to gather some herbs. Azusa wants to act like a witch sometimes, but she finds out a harvest of rice and red beans. Thinking that these beans are close to Azuki beans, she makes something sweet for Falfa, Shalsha, and Flatorte, who are fast asleep.
While the first attempt didn’t turn out well, as the Anko spilled out with some interesting shapes, Rosalie made it into an interesting shape. It didn’t taste good, although Flatorte ate them up and said Azusa should add more moisture to the dough. With the second attempt, it turned out better.
Falfa and Shalsha woke up and wondered what Azusa and the others had made. They are Manju, and apparently, they seem to like it. Seeing their reactions made Azusa happy. As expected, Flatorte carved them up while Haikara wanted to sell them. After Falfa said they might look cuter if they had faces on them, Not too surprisingly, slime-faced Manju buns are popular with the townspeople when Azusa sells them. That is not too surprising given her prior success in her café.
In the second segment, Haikara, of course, suggests those stamp cards to encourage repeat visits. They are the rage as she shows a Mega-mega stamp card. It’s an up-and-coming goddess, and she holds talk shows, which people attend to hear her blessed words. Of course, Shalsha wants to meet her.
Azusa attended one of these shows with her and Haikara. Of course, when the curtains went up, Azusa recognized the goddess. Yes, that goddess, Mega-mega, brought her to this world.
I find it funny how she is surprised when Azusa realizes until she remembers her. She talks about god rankings and volunteering to come down to this world. That is before introducing the virtue stamp card, which aims to have people fill it up with good deeds and accumulated virtue. However, there is no prize for filling it out, except for getting another one to fill it out.
After the show, Azusa meets Mega-mega. She finds out that Mega-mega got a demotion after she reincarnated everyone as a 17-year-old forever young girl, causing her to receive a demotion as a local administrator. It is not too surprising since she is voiced by Inoue Kikuko, who declares herself as “forever 17.” Turning everyone into forever 17-year-old girls is a great way to get demoted.
In short, she lied about wanting to see people smiling and saying gods are allowed to break laws. It’s unsurprising to see why she got kicked from her former role.
In the end, Azusa received three circles from Mega-mega. Eventually, everyone in Azusa’s family filled out the card for what she did. Yep, she filled it up rather quickly. It’s time to get another one, as receiving virtue is a never-ending task.
@chikorita157 I’m so happy I grabbed the first season. Feel good show with cute characters. Looking forward to season 2 now that it has started.

Yep, the first season was very enjoyable, we need more of these isekais and less of the generic overpowered male lead isekais… they are getting generic.
@chikorita157 At least make it interesting. No demon lord. No FF/DQ menus. No brainless harem.
A fighting anime needs powers. But either go obvious “good at doing something”, or creative “I’m a vending machine” (it’s surprisingly good).
And make the isekai part matter. But just a quick mention in episode 1 and then nothing. If it can be done without it, do so.
I liked Isekai Ojisan and Welcome to Japan Ms Elf as they did something fun out of it.
(Well the other world part with the Elf was too generic, it was the in Japan part that shone.)
I’m the evil lord of a galactic empire was also fun because it was intentionally dumb and it had some genuinely sad backstory. The MC is genuinely good but has decided to be the worst in his second life because he got screwed over so bad (so bad I genuinely felt bad), but everyone ends up loving what he does because he just ends up helping his own people 🙂
Basically, making it funny overrides the very common generic concept.
Half of the Isekais could be replace though, to balance it out. There’s other genres worth exploring after all.
