The dad was real scum all throughout.
Now Tougo as expected got two angels now.
But I am still concerned that Tougo is still heading towards a major exploitation plot by the other high nobles.

When it was introduced that there are child-slaves as a makeshift orphanage system, I thought: "okay, fine, whatever."
But -- having a system where parents can sell their children for money, that's fucked up. This episode tries to be all feel-good and shit, but creating incredibly fucked up systems is quite the opposite of it.

Just what the fuck is up with Japanese manga and slavery...

I could say the same with the rest of the world. This type of slavery aren’t scratching the surface on what happened IRL. If anything this is the tamest one we can depict and not run into real life problem.

we still got human trafficking problem in real life and it is still a headache.

Depends on how it's set up, it amounts to the same thing, but it could be that rather than sell the daughter, he took out a loan and she got claimed after he failed to pay. It fits what they say he's been doing all over town, but it makes you wonder why they left one kid with him, if taking the other was a kind of welfare system.

Best guess would be Cultural Baggage. From how deep-seated it seems to be in their media, debt slavery was very much a thing irl. Might still be in some form.

But honestly I don't even find this kind of slavery that bad compared to the "traditions" of some other cultures. I hear the Middle East has some real doozies that are openly practiced even today.

Have you ever heard of Female Genital Mutilation, its all the rage in Middle East, Africa, and parts of Asia. It involves partially or wholly removing the feel good parts of the vagina(because it's blasphemous for a woman to enjoy sex), rerouting the urethra(optional), and sewing the lips shut so that all that's left is a hole for conception and birthing.

I can understand that most forms of slavery is immoral. At its worst it robs a person of their dignity, autonomy, and freedom of speech. But the same can be true of many other cultural issues.

There are many parts of our world that treat half their populations little better then slaves. Few are allowed personal autonomy. They are forced to wear heavy clothing that obscures every part of their body, including there eyes. And many are legally killed for little more then aperceived offence. Yet it's not defined as slavery because it's seen a religious or cultural issue.

You might find what are for all intents and purposes debt-slaves in Japanese cultural history horrible, but m8, modern day Earth can be much much worse.

So Tougo's "menagerie of models" has:
  • mythical creatures
  • muscles
  • succubus
  • prickly angel
  • pure angel
and the undercover duo...
What's he gonna get next?

Personal I would rather be sold than stay with a shit parent. And since slaved have rights in this world it's reasonably possible that child slaves are more akin to adoption since they can't do labor otherwise only than chores or maid work and within the shops they are known to be taken care of. I find it more odd why he didn't just sell himself to be with his sister.
