sadslime's manga / #Deer(2)

In a fantasy world where those with white hair are revered as "white harts," the soldier Ileweth finds an abused white hart who was kept secretly in a village and saves him, naming him Alta. The childlike and sweet Alta becomes attached to Ileweth even when he's taken to the palace, but their peaceful times together can't last as white harts must marry royalty. Alta is heartbroken to hear he can't marry Ileweth, and the two of them are going to be separated unless Ileweth risks everything to keep them together. I like this story a lot and I think overall, it's very well done, but I got a little whiplash from the sudden (SPOILER WARNING) freaking amnesia in the most recent chapter? Like what is this, a soap opera?? But mad props to the one who finally updated, thank you so much. Trigger warnings: abuse, forced confinement, discrimination, implied rape.

One day, a deer beastman chatted with a human who had fallen into a hole and helped give him some food. Years later, that deer is caught and choked by a village chief, Ryan, causing him to lose his voice, though he's pretty sure Ryan or his brother are the one he spoke to in the hole years ago. The deer is nicknamed Shia by the village children, who play with him, but Ryan insists they are only keeping Shia to use him for his hair and antlers. Though Shia initially resents Ryan, his kindheartedness causes him to help Ryan multiple times, breaking down Ryan's walls, until Shia is kidnapped and it's up to Ryan to get him back. Although Ryan is a huge jerk, I like Shia a lot. Trigger warnings: violence, kidnapping, human(beastman) trafficking.
