I actually shared this with a friend before I started reading it myself, and their reaction got me into it. What a wonderful ~~comic~~ manga.

I do wonder how they can keep it up outside of the tension of the escape arc. I half expect they're going to park all the real young ones with Minerva or something.

I guess this suggests that the "products" are in fact getting eaten, at least in some part.

I wonder what kind of effects eating demon world vegetables would have on a human? Probably a bad time to be considering veganism, Emma.

Considering both humans and demons shared a world for yea so many years and demons are clearly able to eat humans, I expect there's no fundamental incompatibility.

It's interesting that this manga's a writer/artist combo, not just one guy like manga tends to be. I remember Horikoshi from MHA saying he thought that'd be a better system.

I'm gonna guess a lucky 8 and I'll even speculate on what the twist will be! Spoilering it out of an Abundance of Caution.

Sung-joo has made a reasonable but incorrect assumption, or perhaps was taught it since I doubt he's a thousand years old. All these children and the mothers and so on were actually sold to the demon government by humans, for whatever prizes or baubles or simply on general principles. These people have been getting cloned; the weirdly specific thing where Isabella had a child was either to address the same religious hangup Sung-joo was talking about, or as a way to try and generate new "lines."

This is also helpful in that it is horrifying but removes the problem of "if they're really factory-farming these children, there's gotta be a lot of pregnant ladies somewhere." If this was an American comic it'd probably be something about abortions.

Ehhhh, I don't know if it counts. This one guy is a jerk, but it doens't mean all humans are, which was the intention of my contest. Do you guys think it counts?

I think we'd need like, three rear end in a top hat human encounters in a row to confirm.

What happened to writers to make them almost universally think eucatastrophe is such a bad thing?

I think a lot of it is a reaction formation against storybook endings. The thing is, it's fair to say the story doesn't necessarily have a good ending, but even in reality sometimes things go well.
