'Tis Time for "Torture," Princess - Ch. 280

Is the princess finally freed after a long prison term or is she shedding a tear as she says goodbye to her friends while leaving a themed summer camp? My kids' birthdays weren't even this sentimentally cute lmao.

 

[Gokudomatic]

Is this it? The manga reached its end?

 

[BackBrainKick]

Can't believe it's ending already. Feels like it could go on for 100 more chapters.

 

[Invisobill]

No. This series needs to go to at least 400 chapters. I pray the author is just messing with us and we get a sequel series of more cooking and friendship.

 

[Werebearguy]

Negotiations need to break down. This is a pattern that doesn't get old no matter how many times the same punchline is used. This is the perfect example of a good repetitive joke. I don't want her to be free of "torture". I like seeing her be "tortured". I want her to keep being "tortured" for years to come...

No, personal FBI agent who is reading what I typed. This is a manga about having fun with friends.

Hopefully she gets to come work with the hellhorde as an ambassador from the kingdom instead

 

[Nemo2342]

Well we know there's at least one more chapter

Hopefully she gets to come work with the hellhorde as an ambassador from the kingdom instead

Now that is perfect.

 

[REMasher]

For some reason

peace between empires = she's released from captivity

never crossed my mind.

 

[docterderp]

What happens to the torture department during peacetime? Are they gonna have to find new jobs?

 

[HORRIOR]

Hell Horde is a freaking GOAT for brokering a peace deal XD I hope we learn more about the actual lore of the series before it ends.

 

[kirby_422]

So, it wasn't all an allegory for orphans? That the princess was taken from her family for one reason or another, with her talking imaginary friend (sword is actually a teddybear, etc), and the "evil hellhoard" aren't the orphanage staff trying to psychologically heal her, challenging her to games that if they best her, she has to open up about herself?

Edit: I guess it still could be Child Protective Services, that after shes opened up about her whole life, they've realized her life wasn't as abusive as we were first lead to believe? (Her family was always described as super strict at the beginning, that only the butler pampered her, and most indulgences she had were things she sneakily did herself)

we'll never get to see maou-chan and vanilla-chan again ?

I feel like only Torture herself actually is full-time; it feels like the others have other jobs that they do and get called in for interrogation duties as needed/on a volunteer basis. Like, the beast-trainer presumably trains animals most of the time and got called in when it was clear cute animals could get the Princess to talk. Maybe Torture also goes and "tortures" criminals caught by the police when she's not working with POWs.
Edit: Oh, and Sakura, I guess she's full-time now too.

Well, this chapter was torture for me!
Please don't let this be the end.
At least there's the second cour of the anime next year.

Remember too that Torture-chan was formerly a nurse, so if the Hellhorde Torture Dept closes she can go back to caring for the sick/injured.

Princess can’t return to the Empire because she is a traitor so she will to continue living with the Hellhorde.
