     Yeah, that is pretty much what happened in the manga. Also pretty sure the both of them are his fiancées now.

     @Bead @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage Can confirm now. Just got past that point in the manga. They also look more “baby”-ish in those screenshots. And she just says “there’s a proper procedure for that” in small text instead of spelling out dating and marriage.

     @Bead @Calvin @mangeurdenuage they are big on closeup, but my point is that manga is always going to have less text rather than more

     The manga character designs are pretty on point with the LN illustrations. The dog girl has massive tiddies and the cat girl has pretty respectable tiddies.

     No, I mean in the manga it is heavily implied that Rudy's actions during beastperson mating season officially made him their fiancée even if he isn't really aware of it right now.
     
     Also I have been spoiled by comments in the manga releases, this is a harem harem and Rudy fucks around a LOT more than his dad did. Roxy is one of his wives.
     
     Also also some series work better as a LN/WN because they are entirely dependent on the MC's inner monologue to develop the story rather than simply show it. Mushoku is kind of half and half which makes the manga a pretty good way to enjoy it since it can dip into Rudy's inner voice to express his struggles with his previous self in the life of his new life without becoming over indulgent in the exposition.
     
     In other series that are multimedia the stories vary greatly between the various versions. GATE is a good example where the LN, manga, and anime all depart from one another. In GATE, other than characters and certain core story elements, the three versions are all distinct from each other. Tone, presentation, narrative elements, and even details change between each version. In my opinion, having read the LN, watched the anime, and currently reading the manga I have to say the manga version is best as it balances character development, action, and the political and military minutia better than the raw autism of the LN and the almost flippant nature of the anime.

     @coolboymew @Bead @mangeurdenuage Manga is probably the least tedious of the three main kinds of mass media for Japanese storytelling. Anime is locked in at a fixed rate and LNs have a lot of description and internal dialogue or commentary to get through.
     I’m not sure I care enough about getting to/through spoilers to read the LN of this, though. But, I just caught up on the manga (ch. 83), so…. :WarPout: Darn. Another series to wait forever on.

     Also pretty sure the both of them are his fiancées now.

     I’m assuming this has to do with LN stuff later on, since he and Sylphy are married? That part went a lot better than I thought, since it seemed like the relationship stuff was just going to go to Hell with all the poor decisions and mounting consequences, just prior.

     There is a Roxy gaiden and an Eris gaiden. There might be more but I haven't seen them. Also the three cannon wives are Sylphie, Eris, and Roxy. It is heavily implied that Rudy has numerous beast women lovers especially in his old age as he is seen as a man of consummate strength and is peerless in battle even in his 70s which is very attractive to beastgirls.

     @Bead @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage Ooh, she’s the one that gets the gaiden. Will do.

     Isn’t that tied with their affinity for big breasts (the men, at least)? And you’re referring to the beast girls at the school, right? In that case, they would hit both those genetic strike zones. Just their personalities are lacking.

     >Eris is potentially chesty and beautiful and comes from nobility, but is really difficult to approach and has trouble actually being a decent person to others (without Rudy or someone else already close to her around).
     Read the Eris Gaiden. Her entire story that takes place off screen is her basically becoming even worse and then having those aspects tamed by her own struggle to become a stronger swordswoman.
     
     Also, big hint here, the most noted Greyrat family trait is their...affinity for kemonomimi girls.

     @Bead @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage
     I was anticipating that when the Beast race tradition was explained, but I didn’t see any reaction from anyone implying that that outcome was one that held any water. I mean, the dog & cat girls would be the ones most likely to point that out or behave differently, you’d think. Maybe the female teacher with glasses who heavily disapproved of the whole thing might. But, I’m expecting that to be pointed out or addressed at some point.

     Also I have been spoiled by comments in the manga releases

     Yeah, one of the pages after a chapter warned on that and I realized that’s a bonus of using Tachiyomi over a website.

     Rudy fucks around a LOT more than his dad did.

     I’d have to see just how much his dad messed around before Rudy was born to have a baseline. But, it seems like it might have been a lot. Or he was just a flirt and only indulged fully in a handful of women (still weird that it sounds like he basically raped Lilia (the maid) early on…still curious what her angle really was in seducing him again.

     Roxy is one of his wives.

     Yaaayy~. I usually like harem series to end in an actual harem, but have found that to be exceedingly rare (maybe that’s changed with Isekai series?). This one is one I would have been fine if he didn’t, since that help him grow more as the person he wasn’t in his past life, as opposed to just being elaborate wish fulfillment with some caveats and extra steps (and actual effort).
     At least, in this series, there are actual love rivals and other males that are just as worthy of attraction as the MC and many (most?) of the other attractive female characters go for them. It’s really refreshing.
     Actually, Rudy seems to be getting waifus that have great ability, but are otherwise personally disadvantaged and neglected. Roxy and Sylphy are both flat chested and are quite lonely, despite being very cute and having some guys interested in them, and Eris is potentially chesty and beautiful and comes from nobility, but is really difficult to approach and has trouble actually being a decent person to others (without Rudy or someone else already close to her around). Basically, he’s not getting the girls that “literally everyone else in the world” wants and would kill and die to be with; he’s getting the gems that are left. They’re like the highly valuable pity picks. Lol

     GATE

     I might check that out, sometime. But, that seems like a fair assessment of this manga. It is always interesting to see the differences between versions or adaptations. I tried watching Classroom of the Elite and then switched to reading the manga when the season was finished. The main character is totally different. In the anime, he is pretty flat at the start, but later reveals how sociopathic and scary he is, to the point you can easily consider him to be a true villain (and maybe the worst of them all). In the manga, he seems like a normal “teenage” protagonist that just has some hidden ambition and some tricks up his sleeve, but is otherwise having to figure stuff out as he goes along, but then starts developing these darker traits in a “somehow” kind of manner. The anime is way more consistent and, I think, executes some of its arcs better, while the manga feels like it isn’t sure what it wants things to be, but is insisting its known all along (allegedly). This is weird, because both come from a LN, as well…

     Damn, this turned into an effort post. Or an email.
