Kanojo ga Koushaku-tei ni Itta Riyuu

This anime catches you from the first episode, I found myself binging it over one night.

One negative point is that the ending of the anime is open and keeps a lot of questions.

The rest of the manhwa has the rest of answers and it's beyond amazing I never expected such a storyline and plot twists from it to be fair, but I was beyond surprised.

There's a great character development that is so smooth that you don't even feel the change until you reflect on them earlier.

The animation is amazing.

I highly recommend watching this anime if you're into a good isekai romance with no whiny female characters. We don't see a lot of animes with strong female characters that comes on naturally.

Read the manhwa afterwards I hope it gets a season 2.

Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion is a captivating tale that weaves elements of mystery, romance, and fantasy into a compelling narrative. At its heart, the story follows Raeliana McMillan, a young woman who finds herself reincarnated into the world of a novel she once read. Unfortunately, she is now living as a minor character destined to die early in the plot. Determined to change her fate, Raeliana devises a plan to alter the course of events by aligning herself with the influential Duke Noah Wynknight.

The novel skillfully explores themes of destiny and choice, as Raeliana navigates the complexities of her new life and the intrigue of high society. Through clever strategy and a dash of courage, she strives to forge her own path, all while unraveling secrets that could alter the very fabric of the story's world. Along the way, she encounters unexpected friendships, dangerous adversaries, and even the possibility of true love.

"Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion" is a delightful journey that captivates readers with its rich world-building and engaging characters. Each twist and turn keeps the audience eagerly turning pages, rooting for Raeliana as she defies the odds in pursuit of a future she can call her own.

Handsome men and beautiful ladies populate this historical romance set in an era similar to the mid to late 1800's. This is an era where nobility plot and maneuver against each other for power while society is also undergoing change as wealthy businessmen compete against the nobility for power and status. This is a perfect setting for romance and intrigue.

The story is based on a completed Korean manga series - "The Reason Why Raeliana Ended Up At The Duke's Mansion" (Kanojo ga Koushaku-tei ni Itta Riyuu). The title may be long, but the manga series moves along quickly. I expect the anime series will prove lively and interesting.

The first episode packs in a lot of exposition to quickly set up the story. It seems that Eunha Park in modern Korea is pushed off a building and awakens in a different world. She is now Raeliana McMillan - and she knows that she will soon be murdered! In fact, she knows a lot of things about this world that normal people do not know. The reason - she enjoyed reading this as a novel titled "Beatrice" in her previous life!

Raeliana does not want to die a second time, so she sets out to change the story. Using her secret knowledge and sharp intellect, Raeliana must secure her safety with a fake romance, solve several mysteries, and overcome her misgivings about changing the story.

The artistic design is richly detailed and very appealing. The English dub actors are familiar and do a good job.

I highly recommend this.

This is actually an intriguing anime. It starts off mysterious and game like but has a simple comedic quality that pushes it along. Normally you'd think it would be relying on the comedy too much but the way they have written the story it just flows right along with it. The visuals especially with the clothing detail is breath taking. The characters start out very well. You get good detail on them or at least a sense of who they are but in a way that doesn't break off from the story.

However just after half way that just stops. The last few episodes are more like a hurry to the edge and then it just ends.

The main question of how she got there and why isn't answered, how the main story plot is resolved and actually ends, the explanation of the newer supporting characters and why they are even there at all.

If they spent 12 more episodes on finishing the plot, merging in these new characters, answering the lingering questions and actually ending the story line it would have easily been a 10/10. However they didn't so 6/10.

I binge-watched the first few episodes and they were splendid and I had to actually find the original manga to quench my curiosity. The concept of this anime was very unique and I really enjoyed how well each character has been given story-development but most importantly the main characters share a fantastic chemistry and the anime does not specifically focus on just one of them primarily which is the best catch. Besides the plot I really liked the comical scenes as well. I do hope that the anime will do justice to some of the other characters that just showed up near the climax of the manga. Hope the anime will emphasize on those characters more like the Goddess, Vivian and especially Beatrice, also please create some character for Justin he doesn't deserve to be ditched so many times. Over-all very great anime and I hope they add a little bit more content to fill in the little gaps. You will not be disappointed.
