    Yeah, I'm sorry. If you're reading Japanese manga, you're going to be hard pressed to find stories that doesn't contain some mysogyny or sexism - internalised or not...

    I'm inclined to giving this manga a smaaaall pass though....
    The misogyny in this manga was probably intentional: 1. Because it makes the main love interest stand out more (e.g. him not underestimating her for being a housekeeping mage and not being overly protective of her) 2. It makes the villains more loathsome than they already are.
    I do have to admit though, I wish that she wasn't called a "housekeeping mage". Maybe it would make more sense in Japanese, but idk it just irked me. Like, you have a lot of potential Shiori.
