The king of Slantania has officially appointed Sei Takanashi as the Holy Saint—an omnipotent maiden summoned from another world to save the kingdom. After months of relentless fighting against monsters, Sei can finally relax and continue her study at the Medicinal Flora Research Institute. Although her relationship with Albert Hawke, the commander of the Third Order of Knights, gradually blossoms, her bachelorette status attracts unwanted attention from other men—much to Albert's dismay. Moreover, Tenyuu—one of the many princes from the faraway Zaidera Empire—has taken an interest in Slantania and its powerful healing potions. Given that Sei's identity is a national secret, she must lay low in the royal palace until Tenyuu satisfies his curiosity at the institute and returns to his country. Despite his unimpressive appearance, the foreign prince is far from clueless. He has come to Slantania for a clear reason, and Sei's unique skills may just hold the answer to his cryptic research.

The continuation of the "otome game" styled isekai in which an adult woman has been plucked from current day Japan and put in a 15-1600's European renaissance styled fantasy world with a bit of magic and monsters in it. Our protagonist is a 'saint' with holy powers and is by her own words, surrounded by gorgeous men on all sides. I think the best best description of it is "flaccid". It's nothing special, it raises several interesting plot questions and then resolves them in unsatisfying ways with no sense of flair. The main drive of the story is the love interest between our main character anda stereotypical "prince" charming, who's only genuine good quality is that he actually fights alongside her, a good example of people respecting each other and learning to love them. Questions of why there are corrupted spots in the land, why there were two saints, what implications the second isekai'ist has, what her being revealed to the world means, what the political significance of her actually is, all go unanswered. Remember that twat prince from the first season? Nowhere to be seen. This is in essence an indulgence fantasy of what the writer would do if she were the one teleported and the story is secondary. I can't actually state how good the romance between the characters is, because I eventually stopped watching them entirely and skipped through those parts. The dialogue is a slog, their treatment of each other barely changes and the delayed advancement of their relationship serves no purpose because there are no surprises. The drama of multiple interests is as good as non-existent. It's not bad, it's just boring and disappointing. It sort of kept my interest because it kept promising interesting stories and never delivered. Maybe a season 3 can redeem this, maybe they'll stop and hopefully let this fizzle out. Maybe the manga is worth reading for a better pace, but one thing is certain, you shouldn't waste your time on this unless you specifically just want to waste some time watching a generic romance show.

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaally love this series. If you watched season 1 and enjoyed it, I think you'll enjoy this season just as much. Feels like a perfectly executed continuation. On the whole this series is such a simple concept for an isekai, not overly laden down with stuff like rules, skills, exp, level ups, whatever. Just OL transported to fantasy world where she's got healing magic and gets to have a chance at romance. It's cute, wholesome, and the art is well done. Sei has her little side-quests and there's occassionally obstacles that pop up that she needs to clear, but the series does a goodjob of course-correcting and getting back to the proper mood without any wallowing (hate it when anime characters wallow). The 'gotta find a husband' subplot for this season was kind of intriguing, because it really helped to rush along the romantic developments, to the extent that even the characters involved comment how they'd rather have taken their time to get to know each-other, but, oh well, here we are. I'm hoping for a season three, but I'll probably read the light novels instead of waiting and hoping for a miracle s3 after that was so well wrapped up there at the end.
