It feels like there might be a bit of inconsistency here. When the warslave was first given to her, he gave her advice on the local laws and what was socially acceptable for a warslave to wear or not, and did this of his own initiative. Now he cant even speak up to join a conversation about his needs? I'm sure he remembers his own training and workout regimen.

First the hair, now fastening a corset. Wolf is seriously baiting Namey with these openings. And from the look on that face she might be biting...
...Daria? That might explain her usual expression.

I can't help but feel that Casca's end will come swift and unpleasant. After all, in an oriental city full of intrigue and crime, connections are what matters most. Going around bashing people who made you a favor is a failproof way to end up at the bottom of the canal.

hey, Arbuz, i've been loving this story ever since i stumbled on it!

considering Noemie's name reveal was fairly recent, did you plan on that being her name from the beginning?

I wonder if Sasha didn't defend herself more vigorously because she thinks Noemie's best chance to get out would work better if she wasn't trying to get anyone else out. Be hated by your friend so she can be free.

For those not familiar Arbuz is Ukrainian and lives there, while he and his family is safe at the moment, PFF, Avarice, and other work he is involved in is currently on hiatus.
Here's to whatever greater power there is, that he and his family stay safe throughout this tragedy.

@ OrinMidwinter: Thank you very much.

This reminds me of the days when I was waiting for more news about the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, wondering whether one of my favorite artists was alive. She had indeed survived and resumed work on a couple of titles I was following with great interest.

I truly wish Arbuzbudesh will be as lucky. Sadly enough, this time the crisis as a whole will not be over any time soon.

@Katajanmarja Unfortunately one of my favorites lost his life in that tragedy, Mosha. His uploads stopped on the date of the earthquake. Such a shame, his art and choice in characters was my taste to a T.

My respect for the return of "Price for Freedom".

Even in case it’s only this single page, it feels magnificent to witness how the human will to create is stronger than the human tendency to destroy.

"Price for Freedom", and yet in 400 pages I never once saw any character actually try to escape, at most they talk about escaping or "make plans to". They mostly meander around, sometimes on the orders of various factions. The idea of independent escape is dismissed as being impossible because of "the guards" or "bureaucracy", even though the guards are repeatedly shown to be the most inept and corruptible faction... (not that they all aren't). Actually the city borders and security are never shown, the guards just "check things". The premise of maintaining the plots of escape and staying in the city to engage in faction war is just too much to maintain at the same time and over this length. All of the characters other than Casca just end up sounding like delusional victims, even the leaders barely come off as having any agency. There is a lot of potential here but please find a direction for the plot to actually go in other than just factions fighting.

So does Noemie do anything but bitch, moan, blame other people for her problems, and generally make every effort to avoid freeing herself?

Why is he writing Lady Wolf so passive these days? Is this the same woman that bit a man's dick off and tore him apart?

Wait, no it's Lady Wolf. Hope Ko'osh brought lube.

Base +6, abcbcacba +6, mailus2do +11, Shit Bunway +6, katiga -3

@jmaster: I wouldn’t think so. My interpretation is that the demons in this world have peculiar appetites. They live immensely long and are more or less sociopathic to begin with. Thus they have no inhibitions similar to us humans, and if they find a person fascinating or interesting in any way, sexual encounters are readily among the set of tools to satisfy their curiosity, just as well as intellectual discussions, intimidation, bribery, imprisonment, violence, or murder. Furthermore, the demons have nothing stopping them from using sex to manipulate other beings for gain. Yet, if Lady Wolf felt or decided, for whatever reason, a hundred years of celibacy to be in place, she would have no problem sticking to that.

Those who know the lore better, feel free to correct me. So far, I have no idea why the demon lady has chosen Ko’osh as her target, and why right now. (Except that if we follow hentai logic, it makes more sense than the majority of everybody’s actions in this story.)

@VanillaFaps my brother in Christ you don't suppose to grow to like a person who raped you whatever goods they might do to you afterwards

Base +6, biscardone +8, Casyle +6

@Dreamnyaner
I find that aspect of Wolf's relationship with Nameless to be the most interesting. There is no way Wolf is being so patient out of the goodness of her heart. I think she realizes that being too harsh and controlling has backfired and is trying a different approach to earn Nameless' loyalty. It comes across as a manipulator that doesn't fully understand the person she is trying to manipulate.

Base +6

A manipulator who has grown bored of easier targets, I’d put it.

Lady Wolf has been very patient, indeed, but not supportive at all, even if some of her actions have brought undeniable benefits to Nameless. Wolf is motivated by curiosity and a will to control, these two getting mixed up in unpredictable ways as she is playing her endless games.

Nameless has, apparently because of her cultural background, an extremely strong prejudice against demons. Having read the comic itself and very small amounts of additional info, I still cannot decide how justified that prejudice is; it is shared by most residents of the city, but outcasts seem quite capable of overcoming it if serving Lady Wolf becomes essential for their own survival. Nameless, then, would be quite ready to die rather than serve a demon. I imagine something could be achieved through a combination of honesty and empathy, but that is something we have never seen from the Lady’s side.

What makes me partially agree with VanillaFaps is how Nameless extends her prejudice to all of Lady Wolf’s servants. Sasha had become something of an exception, and that prospect got deliberately destroyed. Rather easily, true, but I maintain that world literature has presented many protagonists as crushed, untrusting and lost as Nameless is. The main difference is that in this day and age, novels are typically published as whole works, not little by little like online comics.

What makes "Price for Freedom" worthwhile in my opinion is that it is not really the story of Nameless – it is the story of Atlathka, prominently featuring the fates of many of its different citizens. That’s a shining spider web that keeps me coming back year after year.

(The porn scenes are very beautifully drawn, and a few of them have brought some characters closer to me. Yet sex is far from being the essence of this work in my eyes. People who enjoy the power play aspect of sexual encounters – and they are not few – probably find this story much more interesting as a pornographic work.)

Base +20, AntPoub +6

Perhaps using Lady Wolf as an example was a poor choice. Being a rape victim, having a vendetta against them makes a certain degree of sense. I'm not asking Noemie to like her, or even get along with her. Merely that she executes some amount of sense. Wolf, as her benefactor, quite literally holds her life in her hands at all times. And were Wolf not exceedingly patient, the amount of aggressive hostility, flagrant disrespect, and blatant contempt Noemi continues to show would have rendered her a corpse if this behavior was show to anyone else, and yet she continually shows absolutely no regard for the good graces she continues to find herself in, which, I think, is understandably bothersome to behold. Having it out for demons is one thing, having it out for Wolf as a person is another thing, but its Noemie's blatant disregard for her own safety, taking Wolf's nonchalance for granted, that really rubs me the wrong way. A slave doesn't have to like their master, but they do need to show them some degree of respect if they desire to keep breathing. And if they'd truly rather die then serve a demon, she seems at least content enough to keep living in her service, such as she is.

And having her lash out at people does get old after some point. Wolf is clearly a conniving, manipulative individual, and Noemie seems to know this. Yet when Wolf reveals she knows her name, rather then assuming the work of a spy, demon magic, or literally anything else, what is, quite literally, the first thing she does? Rather then taking a single moment to think about the situation, or have a rational discussion, she snaps and aggressively destroys the only real friendship she's managed to forge. I think my frustration with the character is at least somewhat warranted. I don't hate her character archetype, and I understand to a degree her choices, I just find the discordance between her actions and her consequences slightly bothersome. As to why Wolf is so patient with Noemie, well, that's something that we really don't have enough information yet to tell, but its something I hope we get to see developed in the future.

For all that though, I do really enjoy the story. As Katajanmarja just said above, this isn't really Noemie's story, its the story of Atlathka, all the people in it, and all its going-ons. I find the world endlessly fascinating, being drip-fed things that keep the greater world feeling huge, mysterious, yet very lived-in.
