One thing that I have really enjoyed about this show is how much Kenzaburo's previous life experience has mattered. So many isekai has somebody basically just experience a fantasy story and their past life experiences don't really matter that much (maybe they make mayonnaise or something like that). This show keeps relating Grace's actions to Kenzaburo's life experiences, so much so that he is as much a lead as Grace is.
The mom and daughter were great this episode. I hope we get their segments more consistently going forward now that the coma angle is introduced. The setup reminds me of Endo and Kobayashi Live!. If you have enjoyed this show, then that one might be worth checking out as well. I really liked that one, as much as I have been enjoying this one.
- how much Kenzaburo's previous life experience has mattered.
  I agree. He's not some empty husk of a character either meant for self-insertion
  maybe they make mayonnaise or something like that
  This trope drives me insane in generic isekai. The only thing they bring from their world is food. Always food. Those types of isekai are so unoriginal they even copy these inconsequential things.
  
  Hey, sometimes they also bring shampoo!
  
  I know of Ascendance of a Bookworm, but have others done this?
  
  This trope drives me insane in generic isekai.
  There's also a scurvy epidemic, which the healers can do nothing about but MC solves woth a proper diet. I've read at least three novels with this plot.
  
  Oh, I've not come across that one before
  
  "mayonnaise and rice!"
  I like the line from Tanya the evil, something like ""I come from a world that is scientifically, technologically, economically, and socially superior!"
  Nobody will forget Tanya isn't from isekai Germany.
  
  It's only like 50 years between Tanya's Japan and magical not-Germany. She's way more grounded in her knowledge, it's all basically the end-of-WW2 military doctrine, and she cannot 'invent' better guns or tanks because there's no technology to produce them yet, and much bigger challenge is not modernizing guns but producing enough shells for them.
