Uuuhhh seems like iklies is putting on a fake persona here๐ค he is pretending to have accepted her as his master for now, he is probably trying to get that choker off that's restraining him
@ImJustAWeirdo my guess is as a market to the people that are into tsundere, yandere or straight up psycho boys. i think thatโs just a trait with a lot of josei and boy-love manga since theyโre targeting more for straight women, but i donโt know enough about the manga industry to make that many assumptions.
