Seriously, I wished that more manga authors would get more awareness about having people touching members of the opposite sex. In an environment as depicted in this manga, I don't think touching someone else's maid or female companion would just be laughed off. Never mind this setting, even if someone laid hands on my colleague without her consent, there would be trouble. Grins and nervous laughter would be the last things to be shown.

Hell, even women on their own wouldn't tolerate that shit. Don't believe me? If you're a dude, go put your hands on the shoulder of any female stranger, see where it gets you.

I get that this is a work of fiction, and ultimately the scenes depicted reflects the innocence of its intended audience, but something about this just rubs me the wrong way.

He's a nanpa master. A nanpa master's gotta do what a nanpa master's gotta do. Don't compare him to regular guys.

@Kaarme

So if a nanpa master starts raping your woman in front of you, then you're OK with it? Would you tell her that's it's OK, because the guy is a nanpa master? Even if she's clearly yet quietly begging for you to make it stop, you're gonna let the guy do as he pleases, because it's his right?

Like I said, fiction is fiction, but fiction really does need to mirror reality to some degree.

I don't live in a backwater country where woman are passive creatures without human rights, unable to express themselves. That being said, the answer to your question is no. That being said, Sera as well should have pushed the dude away, but she was still a slave just recently, so it's forgivable if her behavior remains affected. What I said only explains why the dude did it, which made it believable writing. It doesn't explain why Evan did nothing, which could be considered unlikely and thus not so excellent writing. However, they are still very young, they just entered the adventurers' guild, so perhaps they, however uncomfortable they were, felt like they have to behave in a subdued manner, even if their rights are abused. That's probably a real Japanese thing, so it's not altogether bad writing.

@Kaarme

So they're gritty enough to stand up for themselves and to put their lives on the line for each other, even when fighting against horrendous monsters, it's just that they're timid when the woman is being sexually assaulted by a stranger who could be doing it just for the comic effect?

Well, if you find that logical, then please, go ahead. Please enjoy the show.

For me, that's a gigantic logic failure there. The writing is well-intentioned, but mediocre, nevertheless.

@TheBlueCat
A hand on the shoulder is a sexual assault in your country? I have no idea where you live, but I very much doubt you are correct. In reality it would barely pass as sexual harassment, but most likely it would be dismissed because it only happened once or twice, if you count in how he tried to hit on her when they first met, and it was very brief. However, such legal terms didn't even exist before the modern times, so it's kind of irrelevant. If Evan (and Sera) really had felt slighted, Evan's choice would have been to challenge Bart to a duel. Maybe he had won, maybe not, but with 100% certainty it wouldn't have been worth it.

You are overreacting vastly.

Choose to see what you want.

 

[Kaarme]

@TheBlueCat
Yeah. With how many uploads this site gets every day, even if I had nothing else in my life but reading comics, I doubt I could read them all. So, naturally I will choose to see only the things that seem interesting.

creation magic seems extremely inefficient compared to other types of magic and creation magic doesn't seem that great from whats been shown as it only has done elements

Just not even going to read that entire conversation between Kaarme and TheBlueCat. Anyway, I always see the word kobold and wonder which sort I'm going to see this time from years of seeing various versions of them, but somehow they keep ending up with more versions instead of using one of the others. I feel like "Our Kobolds Are Different" is almost as much of a thing as "Our Vampires Are Different" in terms of potential for a TV Tropes page. These ones kind of look like some werewolf depictions for instance.

Skimmed that conversation and neither of them mentioned that he just hit on a 13 year old whose height barely reaches past his waist.

As for Kobolds, D&D's used to be dog people with rat tails and covered with scaled patches and then were changed to dragonkin by 3rd edition.

Rather than "Our," I would say "Eastern" (don't recall if I've seen Chinese/Korean kobolds) are different.

Speaking of D&D, their halflings' and gnomes' height are about waist height of an adult human.
