there actually are complexities to be mined from a story that contains casual slavery that most characters aren't particularly bothered by, including some of the slaves themselves, but you undermine that complexity and any claim to "nuance" when your immediate response to a true and verifiable claim ("Izutsumi was a slave") is to wax at length about how nice the slave conditions were compared to their previous slave conditions, then do some sleight of hand to reframe it as an issue with allowing minors to do whatever they want without a guardian.
