> The show does such an excellent job with these two, always showing how close they are in a very cat-and-human kind of way that doesn't map well on normal human relationships. ♥
I still love the scene early on when they're discussing things in ZYL's apartment and DQ is just cozying up all over him and ZYL has zero reaction like this is totally normal for him? I LOVE IT
> it's the word used for owning a pet/an animal, which is presumably why they're using it here
I know google translate isn't the best reference but it told me 主人 was "owner" so that's how I've always seen it. And since the traditional relationship between a human and a cat is quite different to human + other pets, I've always thought it was appropriate for ZYL and DQ - more a representation of the bond between them and the feelings they have for each other and the care they will take for each other than anything more "master" like!
