It's a Japanese culture thing. CP was only made illegal in Japan in the mid 2000s (due to international pressure)

Yup. Another factor is that Japan's national age of sexual consent was thirteen until June of 2023 (though the local age of consent in most areas was and still is is higher). At the same time, the law and culture tended to be forgiving of excuses like, "I swear she looked 13 at least!" Whether or not the latter is still true, I don't know...

In fact, no one knows because, in Japan, reporting rape (including statutory rape) to the police almost never results in criminal charges. Approximately one rape charge is prosecuted for every 100 such reports filed. And Japanese society very strongly discourages rape victims from ever reporting anything in the first place.

Incest is an issue, too. People joke about Alabama, but Japan allows marriage to first cousins as well, and unlike in the US, Japan has a lot of entertainment and media that shows cousins getting married as the good ending. Or siblings... there is a lot of that, too.

While all forms of incest are legal in Japan, Japanese society utterly abhors incest between immediate relatives. When it occurs and becomes public knowledge, the lives and reputation of the entire family can be ruined (or so I've heard/read). Whether this discourages incest or guarantees that families and cultural norms conspire keep it from public view seems to be little-studied...

On a potentially related note, there's an ongoing epidemic of homeless teenage girls living on the streets in Tokyo* (and, to a lesser extent, other major cities). Some suggest, albeit without a great deal of apparent evidence, that it's in large part the product of widespread but unacknowledged sexual abuse in Japanese families 😬

* Reflected, perhaps, in contemporary manga tropes: JK seeks papakatsu on the street, youth lives in internet/manga cafes, romance with stray/abandoned girl

It's a Japanese culture thing. CP was only made illegal in Japan in the mid 2000s (due to international pressure), which is why the Rouroni Kenshin mangaka had so much in his house when he was arrested and charged, and only received a short sentence for it (most or all of it had been obtained before it was made illegal). It had only been illegal for like 2 years when he got arrested.

Incest is an issue, too. People joke about Alabama, but Japan allows marriage to first cousins as well, and unlike in the US, Japan has a lot of entertainment and media that shows cousins getting married as the good ending. Or siblings... there is a lot of that, too.

Basically, due to having different worldviews, Japanese culture had developed a different morality (one that seems contradictory if you grow up with a western worldview), and that has only been changing to some degree since after WWII.

Why do normalfags have to ruin everything? Stop trying to make the entire world American you retards.

What's wrong with you? I was speaking objectively, not passing judgement.

What the heck? How is bringing up facts ruining anything? How are we "trying" to make the world American?

I was giving an explanation.

It's rare to have a Manga these days where the cured Brainwashing victim isn't magically okay. Moonled journey comes to mind as another.
Granted now we have the stupid Slavery trope but at least this time it's to actually prevent her from self harm ... though wasn't there a better way? Like I dunno contract Magic or something ...uhg...

I mean.... he could just brainwash her 🤷‍♂️

 

[ChrisFromMrBeast]

I miss when this manga used to have sex scenes.

 

[theShear]

I mean.... he could just brainwash her 🤷‍♂️

That wouldn't work She already "was" brainwashed and the moment it wears of they become acutely aware of what they did. It wouldn't solve the core issue. Granted this isn't exactly better, he doesn't "Heal" her, just prevents her from hurting herself by force.

I wish anime & manga could have just stayed in Asia, if not that, I wish it never became mainstream. So many people just arguing about this or that. People will literally comment saying, damn man, fuck slavery, then proceed to read. Same dudes are like, fuck lolis man, that is CP, then proceed to read. Then they justify it by saying, “dude, never heard of a negative opinion?” Having negative opinions is fine, the issue is you making it your moral stand. If you hate it so much, instead of changing the manga or story, go read something else. I get that you have issues with slavery and lolis, then stop reading those media, its genuinely that simple. Bringing real life morals over drawings and fiction is wild. Don’t bring real world into our mangas and anime. Stay the hell away and go read/watch the media of your preference and don’t fuck with ours.

Spoiler: SPOILER ALERT

Lisa is the Demon Lord, she wants to kill our MC, and the one who kill MC parents is Lisa aka Maou, later on, MC defeat Sein with ease but then Lisa enter the scene, she reveal herself, after that Lisa took away Sein somewhere, btw our MC beat the sh*t out of Sein ass, he's dying.

i wish the mental backlash could have been bigger but oh well. Were moving to the end game now boys

It looks like it would've been worse but she was healed during the backlash

 

[Specplayz]

Would be good, but unfortunately is that kind of mc that always forgive vile and evil people so i do not expect any from this, at max a punch in the face. But author can surprise me.

ps: anyone who read the light novel know what will happen in the next events?

What? Didn't you see him cut down demons like flies in previous chapters? and He said he'd kill Sein. So I think he would keep his word.

 

[Mist221322]

i kind of feel bad for Nei (not sure just how much she was being controlled by Sain before MC was kicked out) but i DON'T want her to be in MC's party

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

Kinda funny how dumb he is, yeah sure have a happy time, but now you know that the other 2 are brainwashed too and god knows what he'll do to them.

Spoiler: P.S

Yeah, I've read the spoilers so yeah 1 of them doesn't matter, but the other one does and him being too late does make her suffer more...

 

[Magnus_Prime]

I love his 'You want to kill yourself' expression.

 

[Insignis]

I know this question is probably a bit wrong in the nature if you will, but if they have potions that regenerate limbs and stuff, do this potions regenerate hymens? Can MC "clean" the brainwashed girls totally?

The fact that in the manga we never saw the fake-hero penetrate the girls other than ex-fiance (IIRC there were only images of one of them giving him a head while a lot of images of him doing Lisa) could kinda hint that either they can "fix" them with potions, or that out beta MC will ignore them being used by force toys of fake-hero and still add them to harem.

Don't get me wrong, either "solution" is fine with me. Especially this martial arts girl - the only small breasted girl thus far MC has is the fairy, but she kinda to smoll for anything . The maid from earlier chapters who probably could join his party was on the verge of being to big, so bigger than martial arts girl, thus in my eyes it would be nice if she or they both join him in the end.
