It's time for a compare/contrast episode! Gracie and James try to explain to Nick the differences between How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom and The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt: two shows with similar titles are airing at the same time. Yes, it's very confusing.

Check out the Anime Trending Awards on February 26 at ~6pm Pacific Time!
