@David Tough choices all around... there are so many good ones... but Roxanne pic on OP is a great choice. :zt_nod: There's a reply for "Asuka" which I believe is NGE Asuka, and I think a lot of people would agree. At first I wasn't sure who to pick... but then I remembered: Lady J from Valkyrie Drive. :vajra_smug: I know she has her partner Rain but let's pretend this could break some amount of canon to satisfy the relationship to an answerer.
Also, it's pretty interesting going through these replies. To me, just because a situation arises where a girl would be "my slave" doesn't mean she wouldn't be treated well. Could be like in this manga where MC obtains Roxanne but he isn't mean to her. In fact he treats her extremely well... almost like a partner (hint hint). A lot of manga stories (not exclusively isekai) do this to fulfill a savior fantasy, but "slave" definitely carries a negative connotation (especially to most people nowadays). Kinda understandable that these people would have a negative reaction, buuut I don't think they fully grasp the kind of idea being conveyed here. I think most of them see a manga/anime like Isekai Meikyuu and think it's nothing but degenerate trash with an SM fetish built in, but there's a mature relationship built between MC and Roxanne (honestly I'm tired of harems; more than one girl dilutes character relationships sometimes). Roxanne being a slave is really nothing more than a plot device. Plus, from what I remember reading, the story was actually pretty meh... I may have to reread it.
Speaking of, a slave situation is a serviceable storytelling device for character relationship purposes. Girl (often spoils of war) gets captured into slavery, guy buys her later (abuse may or may not happen), slowly forms bond with her, liberates her from her previous oppressors, and the two may find love or the guy frees her for her to go her own ways. It's like that short manga of the dude that saves an elf slave and she eventually gets healed, learns to love, and becomes MC's wife. Not a bad fantasy to write about. ...and then there are "slaves" like Morgianna from Magi... lol... I forgot how she ended up getting captured anyway, seeing as how she could just punt everyone's heads off without breaking a sweat.
Well, this was may more of a response than necessary. lol. Also also this reply here :kekw:
