@lenovoaxioo I too would answer yes to those questions! :3


Poor Marie never to be loved back by Mel how she loves her. At least she can be happy for Master and Mel though, and maybe find a new love herself one day. Marie certainly deserves to be loved.

Now do we have an ero doujin about Mel and Mari???

It's cute... but the age gap is super iffy.

In a world with slavery where beastkin have no human rights -there's more important things to worry about than a "consensual" love with a age gap.

It's not master and slave relationship, kids her age were already working and sometimes in much worse conditions.
Shes an orphan and a non-human to boot but the state still funded her upbringing (on an extremely high level I have to add) and got her light labor as a workplace.
She also had the right to refuse. How is this anywhere close to being a slave?

It's much more distressing that she should be more of a guardian to her in terms of age and psychological age difference but she still accepts her as a lover.

You're kidding, right?

Mel is not allowed to buy a transit ticket or visit a restaurant or indoor public area without her master for the rest of her life. She had the right to choose her master but not a right to refuse a master.

I hate unrequited love and love triangles in romances. The endings always feel bittersweet because of them.
And it's even worse this time, since it seems that they'll travel to some very remote place where Mary can't even reach Mel.

@Equilibrium, your points are valid but it still is presented as an indentured service which often wasn't much better than slavery at many times. At best the beastkin are second class citizens if even that. Judging by the incidents where the protag was asked who her master by strangers indicates that any existence outside of state run facilities without some human acting in that role is not allow in their culture. This means that we have a system, while not slavery and theoretically allows for some discretion by beastkin in choosing who they serve, is ripe for abuse. Choosing to leave the service of a human would likely relegate the beastkin to becoming incarcerated in some sort of state facility until a new master can be selected and they might see that as a worse situation.

While we haven't been shown if a beastkins mature further or if they are naturally neotenous (that is they retain child-like features into adulthood) it feels like the protag is still pretty young so I agree that their relationship development is a little weirding

I think that the status of the Beastkin is supposed to be part pet/part daughter. Most beastkin we see aren’t maids, Mari and Fran don’t really work. Mel is only a maid because she wanted to help Collette out, her master said she could do whatever she wanted and chose that. If they’re eternally children in the eyes of society that could explain why they can’t do stuff like get train tickets on their own.
