This chapter makes me smile, it tickles me in the right spot and I bet Pal knows what she wants to say.
So, as a Furry (yeah yeah have a laugh, whatever) yeah we're interested in our imaginary world to have some sexual thing with anthropomorphic animals. But even in furry community, doing sexual things with RL animals itself is pretty much condemned, as furries call it "Feral", and believe me, being Furry in original form is okay, like Simba for example, as long as it's anything but sexual. But having a thought to fuck Simba? Make sure he's anthropomorphized first. Or else, your name will be remembered in the blacklist of furry community. They've also marked and often reported beastiality furries to the police.
And so, I think Taika, in this case, is more interested to mate with her because his "human nature" kicks in, as he doesn't think Ao as his master anymore, but as equivalent. However, Ao at this time considers Taika as his pet, or more to little brotherly sense, and in this current state, Ao considers Taika going horny over him still unacceptable, not just because she still think her as a pet, but also a little brother (who happens to be an allegedly culprit).
But Taika learns how to be human, also thanks to the "human nature". He learns by nature that peeing like a dog is a no-no, he doesn't want to do that. He also learns norms, like not just holding hands in public. But he DOES feel that Ao is hers. Jealousy.
.............but despite all of that, I might be still in denial... Did Taika kill Dad? Just like that? The one who loved him like his own kid? I wanted to believe "WHAT DID DAD DO TO MAKE TAIKA KILL HIM"? And if Taika actually killed Dad, what would hold him for killing Ao in later time in the same manner, especially because Taika might be a jealous person?
Oh, right. I believe you guys have read
another manga like this in shojo story, albeit a bit wild. It's going to be an anime, can't wait to see it.
