Just caught up with this gem of an Iyashikei...one of the few that I actally enjoyed in the genre.
Good that there aren’t any monster girls...makes even more sense considering humans have to romance these other races to generate different subspecies, and considering this continent seems to be avoided by humans, the bridges are still left to be built.
It’s also really interesting to note that through all the nuances communication can offer, the author still goes the extra mile and can show-off personality of induviduas even for brief moments. Like that Harpy guide seemed really enthusiastic and caring to conversing with others...might be because their sense of smell in reduced, so their communication is far more active.
Also glad that there wasn’t any magical element introduced...it would be and extra set of fantasy subsystems and would take away from the sociological realism.
