The manga does a good job of capturing both the sweetness of the Marie/Kazuhiro relationship and the creepiness of the Eve/Zarish relationship.
@Torka said in Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! (Manga) Volume 11 Discussion:
I’m surprised that Eve could subjugate Zarish and any time and just chose now to do it
Maybe I missed something but doesn't the Eve/Zarish timeline go like this?
Eve falls for Zarish, develops the primary skill "Engagement", gives its ring to Zarish.
Zarish removes, reverse-engineers, duplicates & modifies the ring into a "Master"+"Subordination" ring pair, and subordinates Eve.
Zarish subsequently subordinates many women - but can only subordinate up to 10 (or 8?) at once so he "recycles" them from time to time.
Eventually tiring of Eve, Zarish tries to "recycle" her and subordinate Marie instead.
He fails. Eve survives while also losing her subordination ring (thanks for Kazuhiro). Marie also doesn't get subordinated (thanks to Wridra).
Kazuhiro defeats Zarish and seizes all the remaining "Master" rings.
Eve returns to Zarish and enslaves him by giving him one of his own Subordination rings.
