Ryoumin 0-nin Start no Henkyou Ryoushusama - Vol. 2 Ch. 7

God I love actual beast races, miss me with the human/animal ears abominations
 
Pretty happy this series takes a hard no stance on slavery. It's honestly concerning how prevalent slavery seems to be in fantasy manga, especially with how nonchalant most are about it as well.

I wish this would be the story from beginning to end tbh. I mean, those parents could have just as easily paid for passage to a non-retarded village instead if they had that much money. If that's a fix, why would they even come up with a solution like "please make slaves of our offspring"?
 
I...don't get the end. "He didn't suspect a thing"? So did Froggie scam them somehow? Lied to them? Manipulated them?
 
@Tatherwood Not really lied to or manipulated them. There's a reason why Klaus said that the dragon armor and spear are so valuable that not even a king could afford them. In Peijin's eyes, Dias basically traded a giant gold bar for a bunch of groceries he had on hand, essentially making a ton of profit when he re-sells it. In Dias's eyes, it was a good deal since he killed a giant earth dragon and has a ton of the stuff to give away (the groceries were probably more valuable to Dias than a couple pieces of shell). They both mutually benefited but Froggy thought he got the better deal out of it due to the market value of the shells and establishing trade relations with Dias, someone who isn't really concerned with market stuff and just wants the necessities for his fiefdom.
 
@ArsNux Hm... Your argument sounds 100% logical and reasonable, but no matter how much I go over the segment, I cannot, for the life of me, take away that meaning.
Idk, might be the author/translator being unable to convey properly. Or I'm dense, it's been known to happen.
 
Fuurou is the author, is this a female or male name?

@SonicWizard Slavery was an OVERT common practice for nearly all of human history. Only in what, the last 200 years has it been not acceptable in an overt fashion.
The era of these times, if you are not ignorant to all the other factors that lead to slaves (not just people stealing other people), it doesn't make sense to be so against it.
Most of the manga though, have slaves in it because they keep using this medieval fantasy setting. It is prevalent and nonchalant because it matches the setting. It honestly kind of ruins the story, when you have authors trying to act like it can be completely undone for modern day reasons.
While subtle slavery still exists, we will most likely end up seeing overt slavery again in the next 100 years, due to how history repeats and due to how our modern society is on the cusp of collapse.
Some modern people (especially women) may say, "I'd be damn if I had to become a slave to survive!", yet there are cases of "modern" people on the verge of starvation and seeing them offer up their life to serve someone just so they can eat, I can easily see it becoming a thing again if society collapsed.

We are supposedly due for a Carrington event in the next 20 years, and because of how perverse and degenerate the society has become, I would not be surprised to see again become part of human history.
 
@Randomguy01 too long didn't read, no one cares.

You can go on and on about historical accuracy but guess what fictional settings don't share our history. Additionally there is a huge difference between depicting slavery and glorifying it. Most fantasy manga ends up glorifying it by handing out cute slave girl waifus for every isekai protag or reincarnator and its fucking disgusting. I was merely stating that I'm happy one series didn't go that route. For that to trigger you enough to write a page long markup is both hilarious and sad.
 
@SonicWizard "too long didn't read, no one cares"
Your comment starts talking about what I was talking about, so you did read it...lmao...

Does cute slave girl waifus in fantasy stories trigger you? That's both hilarious and sad.
