Season 1 Recap: How Sasaki Got Here
Season 1 established the show’s core premise across 12 episodes. Sasaki bought Peeps from a pet shop hoping for simple companionship. Peeps revealed himself as Piercarlo, a sage from another world, and offered Sasaki a pact: the ability to travel between Japan and the fantasy kingdom of Herz.
Sasaki built a trading business, bringing modern Japanese goods to the fantasy world. In Herz, he became entangled with Viscount Mueller and his daughter Elsa, who took over her family after her brothers were presumed dead. Sasaki helped Mueller procure resources for an approaching war and assisted Elsa in navigating her new responsibilities.
Back in Japan, Sasaki was forcibly recruited into a government bureau that monitors psychics. He partnered with Hoshizaki, a bureau agent, and later with Futari Shizuka, a former adversary who joined the bureau and requested to work under Sasaki’s supervision.
The season also followed Otonari-san, the high school girl living next door to Sasaki. Her home life was grim, with an abusive mother and a dangerous boyfriend. She developed a fixation on Sasaki, the only adult who showed her kindness.
Season 2 Episode 1 Recap: Mother and Child
Season 2 opened with a 47-minute premiere titled “Mother and Child” that threw viewers straight back into the story’s political tensions. The episode began with Shizuka Futari in a conference room with her bureau colleagues, then shifted to Sasaki arriving home to Peeps. Their reunion was interrupted by Count Müller, who arrived with urgent news: his daughter had been kidnapped by Duke Einhart.
Peeps and Sasaki strategized together on how to help Count Müller, demonstrating the show’s signature blend of calm negotiation amid absurd circumstances. Adonis appeared to inform Sasaki that he would receive land and the title of Count, a development Peeps welcomed with a plan to address the Ohgen Empire.
The episode also devoted significant time to Otonari-san’s backstory. Viewers saw her difficult childhood, the abuse she endured, and the moment a supernatural entity offered her power in exchange for her soul. She accepted, gaining abilities tied to Abaddon. Her intentions toward Sasaki were shown to be driven by her desire for the only person who had treated her with consideration.
A review from Anime News Network described the premiere’s approach: “The episode’s willingness to dive straight back into factional politics suggests that the table-setting of season one is largely done, and our protagonists are starting to face some of the consequences of their choices.”
