I knew this wasn't great, but did the author really need to add gratuitous rape? Nothing would be lost without that bit, so I guess the author just gets turned on by rape. Yuck.
Imagine thinking someone could deserve to be raped. 😟
Can this trend please die? Slavery actually is handled so poorly in most manga that address it that I consider it a mark of poor writing(and/or character). This is especially true when they appeal, "but he's a nice slave owner". Miss me with that garbage.😒
Also, yes, this isn't technically...
While I don't think kid Lukas has done anything wrong, this isn't about punishing him. She's trying to set her life on a different course. Waiting until they're older or slowly putting distance between her and Lukas could make that process significantly slower.
With only 3 options, can she really have any agency over her life? She basically has to just go by memory and guess which of the bad options won't lead to a bad end.
There's not enough yuri, so I really don't want to drop this, but rape isn't a joke. I had hoped I'd be able to just keep reading and forget it happened, but each interaction red hair has with her rapist makes me super uncomfortable.
