Truly an OP character that feels like i dont really need to read it every update since ill know what will happen next. Maybe ill hold reading it for the coming months
Ugh... Author's love for aircraft and guns is so fucking overbearing. I can't take any of the combat or dangerous situations in this manga seriously when the enemies are just using conventional close-combat medieval weapons while he's using an entire arsenal of modern weaponry, it's just so ridiculous.
They still couldn't rape her, but that doesn't mean they can't torment or torture her body. She is allowed to bathe but the magic sealing ropes are replaced with a collar instead. Anastasia believes they won't be able to break her since she has the protection of the spirits despite not being able to use magic. They lock her up in the dungeon with only bread and water in complete darkness, which they intend to last for a year until she breaks and becomes a soldier of the empire.
Good info, thanks. Major mixed feelings about it -- Japanese manga tends to struggle between the extremes of gratuitous attempted sexual assault sometimes played up for fanservice even vs. contrived and instant feel-good kidnapping resolutions, but I don't really know if I have a perfect better solution for how to talk about it in terms of plot and storytelling. This one I've noticed has been especially haphazard in terms of adult content.

Honestly, this might be even better since it shows the horrors that can come from a creative tormentor while also acknowledging the issues you brought up.
