Wait that guy was shown before? Tho i guess his genitals prevent him from being a proper character so not surprising that i forgot about him.

Ah no he hasn’t been shown before this. I was thinking of the LN when I wrote that which in hindsight makes my comment very confusing.

This chapter pin points the problem I have with this manga, it assumes the father and mother would rather sell their own daughter to some random guy and don't do a single hint of fight vs him (Also the fact if people do this so much, how come nobody has done anything [i.e: revolution{because its proven anybody can be a high class mage and destroy a LOT of shit}]) and actually its a problem with a lot of this fantasy mangas. Nobody expect the mc seems to have any kind of morality or empathy FOR NO REASON, I get it. Women = D-tier but c'mon, atleast 1guy in this universe has some kind of empathy for idk... their family ? damn...

Katherine is the best. Love that cute tsundere and her expressive ears

Its fine to point out the ills of bad men... but then also condoning lesbian sexual harassment as okay, fun, cute and comedic does not help the messaging of this manga.


It's like "Don't accept sexual misdeeds from men... but embrace it from lesbians, even if you're not one... just take it ... sooner or later you will become at least bi." No bueno.

Laplace has been a bit of a weirdo from the start, like she didn't ask Tanya before she kissed her either. But the idea that she would be "converting" Kathy is silly, since Kathy already fell in love with Nadine a while ago. And Kathy is not flustered because she secretly likes being sexually harassed by Laplace, but because she likes the clothes Laplace gave her. She is not "embracing" or "taking" anything.

I think you might see a morality lesson here just because the heroes are struggling against misogyny. What Laplace did can be considered sexual harassment, but it's also the kind of questionable horseplay that female friends might do with each other. It's taken less seriously because Laplace is a woman and a friend, not because she's in love with another woman (that logic wouldn't make sense, and Kathy doesn't know about it anyway). Since this is fiction, we also know that Laplace was not getting off on this, or exercising power over Kathy, but just teasing Kathy for still wearing her old battle gear.

Either way, I can see why this gag could be inappropriate for this arc, but I don't think it's a serious detriment. Its severity is not at all comparable to the topic of this arc (date rape and forced marriage). Most people can understand the context of the gag, and won't come away with the lesson you're supposing, which feels deliberately uncharitable.

It almost feels like you were waiting to catch the manga in a moment of hypocrisy because you have some kind of a vendetta against either feminism or lesbians. See, I can also invent a sinister motivation with flimsy evidence!

You must be a westerner. This kind of thing happens a lot in asian countries, where the parents have been brainwashed ever since they were kids with these ideas that girls are always at fault for anything men do to them, often times believing their abusers' words over their own daughter's. Instantly thought of this case. Alternatively, when families do back women up they rarely —if ever— get proper justice. A few examples: 1 & 2.
