Finally, the reveal we‘ve been building up to since Dole was first introduced. I didn’t give him much thought during my first read of the story, but afterward, when I went back, the few scenes we had with him before, he behaved oddly inconsistent, to the point I would have thought it weird if I didn’t know he was putting on an act.

As for Rae, her life was at a figurative dead end before. When she reincarnated and met Claire, she dedicated her entire existence to saving her. In the beginning she obviously didn’t think she actually had a chance at a romantic relationship with her, but that certainly made her all the more desperate to see the plan through. Yet, even in the beginning, Dole warned her that her plan was unlikely to work, that Claire takes too much pride in being a noble. Still, Rae was always committed to this one goal, she couldn’t accept the possibility of failure because she has no other reason to live for.

I don’t know if the manga will cover this, but spinoff novels from Claire’s perspective did confirm that she did have some misgivings about her decision.
Claire was concerned about leaving Rae behind, however she overestimated her, assuming she would be fine if Claire died. Rae appears more capable than she actually is because she uses her knowledge from the game and her past life, but she‘s a bigger mess of a person than Claire realises. In that case, Rae still has one last card to play to make Claire realise how stupid she is being.

And this is why pride is considered one of the primordial sins.

But at least we got hot sesbian kiss. No lex yet, but when revolution is over there will be a lot of stress to be released... and Rae will deliver... :meguusmug:
I take it you've read LN3 then? :kek:

I think Claire decision is denial more than anything else, she just got told to her face that her father literaly planned the fall of nobility because at the end of the day every single one of them a are greedy and corrupt, even at the cost of his and his daughter life, and yet she still says unironically she's proud of being a noble

She's still under the childish illusion that being nobility is something to be proud of because she never had the chance to see what the real noble society really is like, so if they're all gonna fall she's gonna follow the same fate like a good little noble

Fortunately we know they'll get a happy ending :pepela:
Claire doesn't value herself, if "My personality is not the lovable kind" back in the early chapters didn't tell you as much. If she feels it best to sacrifice herself, she won't hesitate. It's a major problem in LN3-5, actually- because if it weren't for her family needing her, she'd have sacrificed herself in a heartbeat to save May and Aleah when Lana had them hostage.

It's not so much that Claire is a child that blindly idolizes the nobility. Frankly it sounds like she feels bad for taking advantage of the commoners all her life and feels she doesn't deserve the life Rae wants to give her.

Rae's exactly what she needs, honestly- someone that genuinely needs her. If she knew that about Rae, she'd have stayed... :qq:

Guys does this even have a happy ending?
Yes
After a bit of drama after Claire herself shut down Rae’s attempt to rescue her, Rae gathered her allies and hatched a plan to disrupt Dole and Claire’s execution, which was being run by none other than Salas. They used the evidence gathered to expose Salas’ crimes and treason, then revealed that Dole had been secretly funding the revolution, and reminded the crowd of Claire’s good deeds during the corruption investigations and the food drives. This effectively flips the whole narrative behind the purpose of the execution on its head.

When Salas attempted to take back control of the situation by force, Rod (still alive, minus an arm) and some loyal soldiers took care of his men, and Manaria used Spell Breaker to free Lily and prevent Salas from using his mind control magic on anyone else. Once Thane calmed the crowd down, then it was Rae’s turn.

For the first time, Rae expressed anger towards Claire for her selfish self-sacrifice for nothing more than her own pride. And Rae made it very clear that she had no intention of going on living without Claire, even threatening that she‘d either kill anyone who tried to execute her or they’d die together right there and then. Effectively, Rae was just having an emotional breakdown in public, however it did sap the remaining bloodlust from the mob.

Since the man pushing the executions the most was revealed to be a criminal and traitor, and the ones up for execution first were actually the real heroes, the revolution ends without any further bloodshed. All the nobles had the titles and assets stripped and made to live the life of just ordinary citizens. This meant Claire’s friends, Pepi and Loretta, also survived and they apparently adjusted better than others. The Claire books even reveal that they became a couple. Good for them.

Claire finally understood the depth of Rae’s feelings and her own foolishness. They get engaged soon after. With Rae’s savings, they were able to buy a house and live relatively comfortably. They adopted twin girls, took teaching positions at the Academy, and eventually got married (unofficially). Whether you acknowledge the second half of the series or not, their domestic life remains the same for the most part.

Dole becomes an advisor to the new democratic government. He also becomes a doting grandfather, spoiling Rae and Claire’s children whenever he visits.

Lene and Lambert returned to the capital to help during the crisis and joined Rae to stop the executions. I don’t know if their exile was ever officially revoked or if there was just no one in power left who cared, either way, they still live in the Alpes but do visit Claire and her family from time to time.

Thane becomes King, but without any real power or responsibilities, so he devoted himself to playing his lyre, even holding concerts. Rod became a General, and Yu became a public face of the Church with Misha at her side.

Lily was found not guilty of the crimes her alter ego committed and was only stripped of her position of Cardinal, but she was still wracked with guilt. So instead, she chose to go on a pilgrimage to do some soul searching and seek atonement. She comes back eventually but she doesn’t really get the happiness she deserves for all her suffering, nor for all the good she did in Part 2. That‘s personally my biggest gripe with Part 2 of the series.

I do agree, I think this is another example of insanely contrived bullshit, but at this point it's very on brand for this manga :p

Additionally, I felt like we just had multiple chapters in a row that's basically just a lore dump, straight up explaining "and here's how and why this bit of politics happened", which strikes me as very clumsy writing.

Oh well, I enjoyed it for what it is but that dramatic reveal doesn't land for me either.
Yes, THANK YOU :pacman: I was starting to feel insane with all of these people giving me the :questionblob:reaction. I mean, as you said, a lot of this is lore dump. Most of it for the past 25 chapters or so has felt like they were shoehorning trying to force in some sort of renaissance revolutionary plotline, when the original premise had nothing to do with it. I mean, I'd be a fan if it was an actually good writer doing it well, but this is not that

I think it's denial because Rae just told her upfront why her father did it, she has no reason to doubt it because I assume she believe if her father really is behind everything then it has a good reason, also, hasn't she seen more and more bad nobles over the course of the story but always took them as like just the bad apples?

It's true that as far as she knows as a noble she has a duty to commoners and always believed that philosophical was right, but until Rae started taking her out of her safe space she never had to actually do anything as a noble, she was a child still getting prepared to one day actually take her role as a noble

Claire always believed in the idealized version of nobles because that's all she knew true, and like you said she believed most nobles are the same

I don't know but to me a part of the plot was always Rae slowly opening Claire eyes to how their society really is, but she always excused it as bad nobles being exception

To be fair the denial is possibly in part due to how fast shit hit the fan, Rae didn't have enough time to prepare Claire more before everything came down

So I guess her denial and naivete is understandable to some extent

As for Doyle he's just a single man, the entire system is corrupt, there was literally nothing he could do because greedy corrupt nobles won't change, sure he could maybe remove them but others would appear in time, that's just the nature of such things

Caste system are inherently corrupt and lead to abuse, anything Doyle did would be temporary at best
I mean Doyle feed and allowed the corrupts to be corrupts as well in a way. He intentionally allowed things to get worse.

And no no. pretty sure her ryes are opened already, she does realize the problems with nobility and everything. Slowly of course she was realizing how bad it was and all.

The thing is she just dont want to deny her legacy as a noble, deny her parents and all, no matter how tainted it is.

The only weird part about this is that Claire supposedly learned that commoners aren’t that different and also lived among them helping them survive through the crisis…so at this point she’s not really much of a villainess for the people who know her.

Still, an understandable outcome…

I think the main problem with this manga is that this is an adaptation, and it seems almost everyone in this comment section already consumed the other versions (read the novel, watched the anime, or whatever). I didn't (and I'm kinda guessing you didn't either), and I think it affects your reception of it considerably. I prefer to judge this thing by what it is on its own, but I realize it might be kind of impossible if you already know the source material.

We have had proper kisses in the latest chapters of the 2 iconic isekai yuri mangas at the same time!! And we learn that both the manga are ending in another volume or two… These 2 series are the posters of Yuri isekai manga!! This news really sucks!

What? That's.... kinda foolish.... Why would they not completely adapt an amazing novel??
It would take too long and be too much of a commitment, plus this arc is natural and will be a satisfying stopping point. The second half of the series is essentially a sequel. The sales are still doing great, but Inori and Aonoshima made the decision.
