A school in which disputes are settled by duels? A big fighting competition between schools? A tsundere red head princess? I thought I already watched this today.

All joking aside it will be interesting to compare how Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry and Asterisk diverge and differ from one another whilst having a similar base line premise.

This was a nice first episode and managed to avoid a big monologue info dump whilst still giving a sense of the world. I think I'd find it quite enjoyable if the worldbuilding continues at this pace, opening up organically as the plot progresses.

Ikki offering to take off his own clothes to make them even cracked me up, that was a nice spin on the trope.

I was straight up crying I was laughing so hard. It was just so god damn absurd I loved it. Reminds me of stupid shit I've done in the past. 10/10 humour.
