I believe it's called 'murderer', 'killer', or even 'manslayer' if one must. 😛 I get keeping it for the Japan-styled protagonist, to a certain extent, but for the pseudo-german guy?

  • Beautiful Kimono(?) whitish with floral patterns. Umm... Except for all the bloodstains? (Well maybe she has magical laundering skills.)
  • Wide sweeping sword strikes in middle of a crowded train with tight aisles. (Fortunately, not that many people on the train.)
  • Why leave her sword embedded in the guys armor? If she's so incredibly pro, why did she strike the armor anyway? And then she says he can leave, while still with sword stuck in his armor.

Shh, you're overthinking it 😝

Phew, got instant cringe at the start but seems that the story is not all about samurai.

I find it interesting that her sword got broken this chapter. She did put it through its paces--stabbing through a door, cutting through how many men, getting stuck in an overhead rack, and cracking that gauntlet. I'm wondering what her replacement sword will be (and if it winds up having to be replaced every few chapters because of all that she does during fights)?

The third one irks me the most, considering she herself said she relies on them.

The answer is extremely simple: All she wants in life is to have cool swordfights. All of these things are cool swordfight things. She's wearing a cool outfit, she's doing cool moves, she's making cool declarations about the fight while walking away from her opponent. She's trying to think of the coolest thing she can do and then doing that the whole fight. It might get her killed, but she'll look, at least in her mind, like a total badass in the process.

Definitely a bit disappointed with how static the action scenes looks. Love the character designs and the overall style though. Writing is okay, nothing that really catches my attention so far. If they could pull off something like the Onee-sama isekai then we would be seriously cooking.

The maid is a bad character imo. She goes out of her way to conceal information that would otherwise be vital for the Mistress and does not have a good reason for it neither. The previous head of the family entrusted the daughter's life in her hands, and what does she do? Go on a train with 0 protection knowing that their lives were in danger. Is she stupid or smth?

I think I can answer the third one. She didn't want to strike the armor per se, rather the guy blocked with his arm. I imagine she would have a bit of a hard time getting the sword out immediately, which is why she didn't take it out?

She said the guy can leave with the sword in his armor, which is weird, but maybe she wanted him to have some sense of security seeing her disarmed, or smth (this point is a bit foggy)
