Anisphia "Anis" Wynn Palettia (アニスフィア・ウィン・パレッティア, Anisufia Win Parettia)
Voiced by: Sayaka Senbongi
The main protagonist and the first princess of the Kingdom of Palettia. She has always loved magic yet, being reincarnated from Earth, cannot use it herself. So to compensate, she turned to science and used her previous life's knowledge to invent all sorts of magical gadgets. She is also an out lesbian. While her eccentricities cause others to see her as a problem child who forced her responsibilities onto her younger brother, Algard, she actually thinks of her country and people more than anyone, ceding the throne out of a genuine belief that she would not be a good ruler. Following a fight with a dragon, she gets afflicted with a curse that is now slowly turning her into a dragon herself.
Euphyllia "Euphy" Magenta (ユフィリア・マゼンタ, Yufiria Mazenta) / Euphyllia "Euphy" Fes Palettia (ユフィリア・フェズ・パレッティア, Yufiria Fezu Parettia)
Voiced by: Manaka Iwami
A high-ranking noble and the ex-fiancé of Anisphia's younger brother, after he broke off their engagement for allegedly bullying his genuine love interest. While talented in magic and politics, she initially kept others away with her perfectionist attitude but slowly opened up after being taken in by Anisphia and even began to develop romantic feelings toward her. She is later adopted into the royal family after completing a Spirit Covenant and becomes eligible for the throne, so it would not be forced onto Anisphia after Algard is disowned. However, the Covenant has also turned her into a spirit reliant on magical energy to survive, which she takes from Anisphia through kisses.




= Main supporting

=
Ilia Coral (イリア・コーラル, Iria Kōraru)
Voiced by: Ai Kakuma
Anisphia's maid. She has a deep loyalty to her, having been helped by her in the past, and shares a sisterly bond with her instead of master and servant. Since Anis treats her with respect and as an equal, Ilia cut off ties to her family, who only saw her as a pawn.
Lainie Cyan (レイニ・シアン, Reini Shian)
Voiced by: Hina Yōmiya
A commoner-turned-noble and Algard's love interest whom Euphie allegedly bullied, though it was really just a misunderstanding. It is eventually revealed she is actually a vampire who constantly gives off a charm which makes people infatuated with her, which she herself was unaware of. Following this, she is taken in by Anisphia so she may learn to control her abilities, which she repays by working for her as a maid. However, awakening to her true nature caused her blood cravings to manifest which Ilia helps alleviate by letting her suck hers, causing her to develop romantic feelings for the latter.
Tilty Claret (ティルティ・クラーレット, Tiruti Kurāretto)
Voiced by: Yū Sasahara
A noblewoman who was disowned by her family and Anisphia's best friend. Though born with powerful magic, her body cannot handle it, causing her pain whenever she uses it. This, along with noble society's focus on magic, eventually caused her to snap and lash out against her family, becoming an infamous sadist, until Anisphia stopped her rampage. At present, she has taken to developing drugs and often supports Anisphia in her research. Her past has led her to become obsessed with incurable conditions, which she calls "curses".

Voiced by: Kenji Hamada
Anisphia's father and the king of the Kingdom of Palettia. While he truly cares for his children, his royal responsibilities force him to put his country first.

Sylphine Maise Palettia (シルフィーヌ・メイズ・パレッティア, Shirufīnu Meizu Parettia)
Voiced by: Sachiko Kojima
Anisphia's mother and the queen of the Kingdom of Palettia. Though youthful in appearance, when she was actually young she was a fearsome warrior who raised her children in her spartan ways, making her the only person Anisphia fears.

Grantz Magenta (グランツ・マゼンタ, Gurantsu Mazenta)
Voiced by: Tomohiro Tsuboi

He is also Euphyllia's ex-fiancé, after he broke off their engagement for allegedly bullying Lainie, his apparent love interest. It is eventually revealed that he has always admired his sister, which drove him to plot a revolution to purge the country's corrupt nobles who treated her as second-class due to their culture and religion of magical elitism. He steals Lainie's vampiric abilities to enact his plan to brainwash nobles and rule with power completely centralised to the Crown. In the end, while reconciling with Anisphia, he is disinherited and exiled for his attempted coup d'etat.

Voiced by: Taku Yashiro
Count Chartreuse's son and Algard's friend who supported him in breaking off his engagement with Euphyllia.

Reception


As of January 2022, the series has 180,000 copies in circulation. By December 2023, the series had over 1 million copies in circulation.
The manga adaptation ranked 14th in the 2023 Next Manga Award in the print manga category.
The light novel was generally received positive reviews. Anime UK News gave the first volume a 8 out of 10 rating, commenting that "Piero Karasu manages to capture the delicate balance of keeping things light-hearted and also emotional when it needs to be." In Anime News Network's 2022 Spring Light Novel Guide gave it a 3 out of 5 rating, Silverman notes that "Piero Karasu has a nice touch with the girls' attraction to each other that makes the romance really slow and sweet." however she criticises that this is "buried under too many pages of world building and explanation."
For Anime News Network's 2022 Spring Manga Guide, the manga adaption was given a 3 and half out of 5 rating. Silverman notes that while the light novel struggles to find a balance between world-building and plots, as well as having too many narrative voices that all sound alike, these issues "are largely absent from Harustugu Nadaka's manga version. In part this is simply because the manga format, with its use of speech and thought bubbles, negates the need for the confusing narration found in the book" Erica Friedman, the founder of Yuricon, notes that while the first volume of light novel left her feeling uninspired, the manga was well done enough for her to continue reading the series, "You want to know what the grand experiment is and how Euphyllia can help Anisphia and you cheer for them both as they launch themselves into a grand adventure. [...] now I’m kind of interested in reading more of the manga to see what happens."
Writing for Anime Feminist, Vrai Kaiser praised the anime adaptation for its comedy, characters, and lack of sexualization of its characters, and expressed interest in the series as a new contribution to "genre yuri" such as The Executioner and Her Way of Life and Otherside Picnic.
