I feel no empathy for them, they've killed far too many people.

I don't know how the author expects us to show empathy to some shitbags who make furniture out of living humans.

Truthfully I can't feel bad for them. I get they got tortured and traumatized during their childhood but I feel that I would have been more empathic if everything they did was a result of trauma.

But her asking for a world in which he can kill and torture people and everybody would be happy about it is were I draw the line. I feel like it's one thing to want to be accepted for who you are, quite another to have others be okay with what you do to them.

I don't know if I'm clear on my thoughts, but so far I only like two foxes (I'm on the fence on a third one, because I feel they want to see their boss' world burn).

Ah, you hate to see it, fall for someone when they're a kid and it turns out they're a completely insane monster that turns people into furniture for fun

But yeah, she wants the world to accept his horrible, horrible actions instead of getting him to stop. That's... not a character that can be saved. I do wonder if they'll start dying, since the mad doctor is the only reason they survive. If he's not in the picture...

What a pitiful relationship. A fucked up, psychotic meat mangler and a relatively normal girl choosing path to hell for the meat mangler
The crazy dude is born that way, and his actions are not really under his control. Its not like he can really do anything about it.
As the caretaker, his partner should have controlled his actions completely but she was unsuccessful. Now she is an enabler, letting others and herself suffer for love, fighting through guilt and madness.

There can be no redemption for them, but I still feel sympathy for the relationship they have.

So was Robara abused by his mother as a kid and that’s why he ended up snapping and killing her?

Welp, good riddance

Here's hoping she stays dead and doesn't get magically glued back to life or something

Yeah, I struggle to feel empathy for any of these kemono. Like even the factory worker is breeding humans for food and we're supposed to feel sorry for him?

Still don't care about the psycho sadist and his enabler, put them down like the rabid animals they are.

@nanze I mean, at least them i can understand, they don't threat the humans badly and the kemono also eat each other, it's presented as an ecosysteme kind of thing but we'd need more info on what they do and how, because humans AREN'T an effective source of food.

that's a very human-centric viewpoint. honestly, why SHOULD they care? Megijima's the weird one because he DOES.

and i want to know what's up with tsunamayo, if he's actually a dude or not. is shiki going to have a gay stalker

@CLJ5262
It seems like he was something terrible from the start, otherwise his name wouldn't mean ruin. and he DID turn his mom into a bed, so

@Guroga
yeah i'm seeing a theme. tbf, these kitsune have BIG FUKIN EYES, and it works

@nobaka Actualy, him having a black eye and being called Ruin might mean the exact opposed, he could have been abused instead of just born wrong, i mean it's not like his mother could have known he'd kill her when he was born to call him 'Ruin'.

no, i mean like there was something about him when he was born, or a prophecy or some garbage like that. Robara is human, after all.

That's like saying being anti-holocaust is a jewish-centric viewpoint. If a behaviour is causing harm to sapient people it is obviously morally wrong to the reader, and if the mangaka is going to try elicit sympathy from a human reader-base they're going to have to better than "he cares about the humans he breeds for the slaughterhouse."

@nanze Using your logic, everyone in their universe should starve because even a cat can end up as a nekomimi so you can't eat anything or anyone, even drinking water would be bad because there are water spirits.

I don't think that with having transformation powers described as 'genius' (when kitsune aren't even good at transformations), Robara could be human...
----
Regarding his name: written as hearth+rose, so a burnt rose? That has no use anymore, ruined? Unless that's something idiomatic.
Hope to see Tsunamayo next chapter, since this arc is ending.
