Although I also said I emphasize with Kiromaru I guess I couldn't call him a hero as I believe it was him who took the baby queerrats from that other tribe and made them slaves (of course Yakomaru also supported this).
Even Saki & Satoru who I think are generally good people don't seem to see an issue in how the humans treat the queer rats.
I can easily argue that there is no perfect character here. Well perhaps Maria, Mamoru & Shun who died or fled when they were so young cannot be judged.
On the other hand Yakomaru standing up for the rights of his tribe is a good thing but again I see it as more that is what Yakomaru wants for himself not his tribe. Of course it's not wrong to want these rights, but with them Yakomaru also gained power & influence over his tribe, hence he certainly gained something besides human rights for his people.
