I know it’ll never happen, but I’d really prefer if Mel and Marie ended up together.

Damn this went from cute onee-loli shit to some intense ass angsty shit

Pretty sure the manga is Hana ni Arashi, not sure which chapter though.

Edit: Chapter 16

Man, master. Just kiss the damn girl!

Wow, shit got really serious. I was expecting Mel's almost kidnap to be nonviolent, like her other almost kidnaps.

EDIT: while I'm still concerned about what exactly happens to the beastkin child who do not pass the examination pre adoption school,

And why is it that the one thing the students at that school must never ever do is to go down in the basement? There’s nothing down there, nothing at all, even though there are hints that the basement is considerably larger than one would expect for the size of the building, parts of which might even be accessed from hidden tunnels deep in the woods behind the school.

And there are no strange sounds coming from down there. That’s just beastkin girls being silly with their overheated imaginations.

And what smell? Those silly girls again . . .

this is a quote from something but I forget what exactly

SHIT GOT REAL

Hah, on page 11 is that the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore I see? Who knew we were in Firenze all this time!

How dare you! How dare you raise your hand against a beastkin girl and strike her down! I don´t even know your name, dipshit, but you just skyrocketed towards the top of my list of anime/manga characters I want to kill!

Easy there! A beastkin kidnapper is only the tip of the iceberg here. This manga is basically the Handmaid's Tale with furry lolis. The beastkin are basically slaves of humanity, marked and treated as property. And the whole reason that Mel and Marie are orphaned? Genocide.

Well, that escalated quickly. I guess it really feels like end of story is near. I really can't see it continued whatever the resolution of it will be.

Aw yeah, let master think about what she did wrong. Today's chapter was great

And this is the point where this story (story's world building?) doesn't make any sense anymore. Couldn't Hachi stick to the doujins where Mel and her kind were similar (or the same) to the one from Legally Married Yuri Couple Book (and Isn't The Moon Beautiful)? Ehhh...

Yes, the best way to resolve problems between two people is by keeping them from seeing each other and talking things out.

so there slaves? oof that really put a dampener on the story

This is kind of late, but am I the only one who thinks Mel and Marie looks like Shio and Satou?

Master didn't do anything wrong

so there slaves? oof that really put a dampener on the story

I don't know if they're slaves, but they're certainly not considered equal to human citizens. The fact that they can't use public transportation or even go into restaurants by themselves proves that. However, it does seem that the state takes an interest in their welfare, to an extent you wouldn't see if they were slaves.

My interpretation is that they're sort of permanent dependents: they are considered legally incompetent, incapable of caring for themselves or living independently. The ones we've seen are all treated pretty well and I get the impression that if protective services discovers that they're being forced to work they'd be removed from the master's custody and the master would be punished. The fact that the kidnappers even exist is sort of proof of that: the requirements for adoption are strict enough that many people fail, and resort to illegal means to acquire their own beastkin.

So it's still fantasy racism, but not quite to the level of slavery.

Ouch. That tone shift.

The lady doesn't know the full story. For all she knows Mel ran away because she was raped or something. She's keeping Master away for the time being while Mel recovers, so as not to subject her to ANOTHER traumatic experience right away.

Marie is still the best match for Mel.

The story and characters are just terrific (and adorable!) and the setting is very interesting too.

One is left to wonder where any male beastkin are, eh? Why there's a school for orphans? That implies there are (or were) beastkin families out there somewhere, but these girls don't know about them. Someone mentioned genocide, that could be in the recent past. Did Beastkin live in another nation? In wild places? Were they bred in captivity? It seems all the adult ones are gone.

They are slaves, they do have to work: Mel and the others are trained to be household maids. Tiny, adorable maids!

There are many really evil people in this universe it seems: they roam around kidnapping beastkin, so there must be an active market for stolen ones, used for vile purposes no doubt :<

This story , is cute and all but it have a f***ing dark side that is not developped and so kinda don't like that.

Yeah, I feel the dark side stuff is way too forced here, and Marie's attitude is in good heart, but it's also coming off as silly and basically makes the entire thing worse. Mel's master would simply just have to explain herself and talk about it, yet it just went off the rails with this.

I still enjoy it and didn't really want to think too much into it, but the dark shift has just killed it a little for me I guess?

jesus christ that was dramatic. I didn't expect that.

This manga started all light and fluffy but honestly this turn is interesting. There is definitely some hidden abuse involved in beastkin adoption. The orphanage kind of proved that. I hope this gets explored more.

Where was genocide mentioned?
