Taking care of a human def gonna cost way more than a pet. And taking care of a pet would definitely be more rewarding.

Uh well opinions vary

Human pets can use the bathroom and have sex with you

Its safe to say that Mariya ain't gonna have sexy tines with Tenma anytime soon, judging how she's not asking for anything in return.

And from an asexual's perspective, sex isn't much of a reward. Cooking and cleaning the house would be, for sure tho.

Old people in decent, or even not so decent, health, tend to still enjoy their lives. If 110 year olds have no particular desire to die, I don't think it's safe to assume that would be a common thing, especially with eternal youth and health.

Being the only immortal might suck in a way, especially if you have to keep it secret, but that's loneliness sucking, not immortality.

Likewise having to start a "new life" as part of secrecy could be annoying, but if you're regular at it then it's another chore like laundry, except a bigger and rarer deal; alternatively it might be an exciting new challenge, how to re-invent yourself this century. Either way, it's an aspect of a particular context of immortality, not immortality itself.

Living for 110 years is completely different from living for 10,000 or 1,000,000 or even 1,000,000,000 years.

Things would probs get tiring after years of dealing with it. Plus, technology advances, wouldn't someone find out sooner or later?
How would the government respond?

Immortality seems so bothersome and high maintenance, and like, life just wouldn't mean that much when you can't die? Maybe?

I’ve noticed that some people have a hard time understanding that characters in fiction are not them, and won’t always behave the way that they would behave if they were in the same situation.

You've described at least 50% of the people who post in the Dynasty forums.

That doesnt mean we can't judge them. Like, this is the discussion section. What are we supposed to talk about?
How "cute" Tenma is?
Or a more interesting topic of acknowledging how dumb Mariya is, and how shes gonna end up being broke.

Plus, I think every understands that this is a fiction, and fictional characters are gonna do different things, but that doesn't stop ppl from telling horror movie protags to "not open the door" from their screens.

If anything, isnt this type of discussion a good thing? Like, isnt it a sign that ppl are interested in the logic of the story, or how things will end up?

How is Mariya so okay with this?? She's all give and I don't see her taking anything. I don't get how someone can be so okay with being used like this. She likes her face so she raises her like a pet and nothing else? Even if we take away any sexual favors, there has to be something else she wants in return, right? If it were me, I'd at least tell Tenma to cook my meals. Honestly, I'm more interested in how Mariya's brain works than in Tenma's background/story.

Why do people have cats and dogs?

Because they're adorable and precious and we love them irrationally for it. Getting to see them happy and safe is the reward, pure serotonin!

Thats not a good comparison tho...

Pets are innocent creatures, little, real life cinnamon rolls, with no hidden motives or agendas- of course we're gonna love em irrationally!
Plus, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars on clothes for pets.

I get 300 mn yen is a lot, but the Mariya is also spending a lot, and isn't making ANYTHING so like, some point both Tenma and Mariya are gonna end up homeless.

For those who haven't already read the rest on Mangadex: After a whole bunch of drama, the manga ends on an 'only good friends' note.

Once Mangadex is back up, you can judge for yourselves.

I've started reading it from Manganelo...
Also why did i have to read that spoiler -.- I was like I don't mind spoilers, but I didn't see that coming tbh...

I really wish it wasn't advertised as a Yuri romance story, cause since it ended the way it did, i was very disappointed.
