I can like stories with 'pets' if they are done right - it's usually a single pet / master or a few, like say orin, oku, chen type pet situations - they could clearly leave their masters if they hated it..

Or a really good one - http://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/invasion_nue_girl :)

Even though Nue isn't a voluntary pet it's clear by the end of the sequel they both kinda like the set up and I could see really enjoying a 3rd one where Nue agreed to become a pet, and had the lead and bracelet removed and lived at the shrine - and Remiu realising she really liked to care for and be nice to her etc.

It's not really a rational reason why I can be ok with some pet set ups and not others - I think it's when it's more like a world wide institutionalized thing and much more like slavery, even 'breeding' them and them being 'sold' etc and they don't seem to have rights or any say in their situation - then it just seems totally unacceptable.

I kind of had it in my head that these were all normal animals but the pet shop owner saw them as people and the half-human thing was just a metaphor.

Hmm. Sexual chattel slavery or bestiality. Pick your poison, I guess.

If we go with Bestiality only one person is committing sex crimes and there is no legal sex trafficking ring. It's still not a good thing but on balance...

Well... It was ok I think. I'd prefer seeing C-Ko-chan among those nonames at the end. :/

I saw no hint the woman was delusional and 90% of everything we saw wasn't real but in her head - and it's not like cat girls aren't a very common anime manga thing so not sure what made you think that.

I have enjoyed (some of) the Gor novels by John Norman and also Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty books, so I may be calibrated a little differently.

It's a non-literal interpretation. All of the character interactions in the story bring to mind how some cat-lovers perceive and imagine the thoughts of cats. It's not perfect, but its not as if the story makes logical sense as its told either.

If we're following the rules of literary porn and ignoring reality, I see what you mean. I'm usually too distracted by how slow the plot moves in porn novels to enjoy them, unfortunately. I am wondering how that TV adaptation of Sleeping Beauty is going to turn out, though...

...TV adaptation of Sleeping Beauty...

...

Wow.

Adapted for Pornhub, I trust? Because I can't imagine it being broadcast on an actual TV network (not even HBO) without being bowdlerized to within an inch of its life.

Strangely it will be on Televisa USA, which is the American branch of Mexico's leading TV Network.

shit i thought this was gonna get reeeaaallllyyyy dark

This could use a slavery tag if such a tag existed, but I seem to be unable to create a tag request. Not sure if it's just my browser.

Otherwise, cute, but I don't envy the manager having to balance her job with her morality.

I can't really blame the manager at all. If pets were more like this, I'd probably have a whole gang of them too.

So i just realized that on page 60 there's a typo.

"Remeber" i assume is supposed to be "Remember"

It just bothered me a bit is all.

Well that was vaguely uncomfortable, yet strangely cute.

So basically the manager has a harem of kemonomimi girls...

It's also somewhat terrifying when you realize that these sentient kemonomimi girls are all kept caged in one-way glass rooms and they're being sold and bred like any other pet.

Though I might personally like to be one of those catgirls

I had a similar thought process
