Are… are we really going to get a manga which spells out in definitive terms that slavery is bad?

Anna continues being best girl. Good to see Amelia recovering from severe malnutrition. I was expecting a joke about Irish people handling alcohol well during the drinking contest lol.

I don't really like the trope of kind slave owners. Like sure you could be treating them worse. Well done for not being super evil I guess , but you still have grown wealthy off of literally owning people. I'm sure all those happy slaves would be happier not being slaves.

Well, in that year there aren't many opportunities for the free Afro-Americans to find the job. Even until 1960s there are still many discrimination to the Afro-Americans.

I know slavery is bad. But if the slave-owners giving the slaves basic needs and didn't punish them brutally, I think that's good enough.

And I agree Anna is still the best girl.

Yes, slavery is always bad wdym.
But I'm interested to see how the manga will treat this subject from now on, since its inevitable.

How many isekai series have we read where the main character picks up a slave?

Christ, the emotional whiplash of that reveal was horrible. It literally left me stunned for a moment. The mangaka clearly has done his research.

I was also surprised at the slaves' jubilance. Not too sure about that...

I actually love the trope, it makes things not seem that black and white, sure they own slaves but that was the norm, you can say that the system is wrong and i will agree, but the people on the system dont need to be horrible too.
