thank you for reminding everyone it can be confused alot
yass so true bff
I know right?? I sometimes think that such stories shoud, you know, have a prelude/preface/thingie where the author takes the time to explain such important distinction, because some readers can be very impressionable! I know it is done more and more in fanfictions, maybe it could spread to manga too!
Remember children, consent through fear, through pressure, through fear of abandonment and so on IS NOT TRUE CONSENT. That's called marital (in this case) rape, and yes, even if the sex is good
It's an historical piece and it's quite romanticized so it's alright, but never forget that in real life, consent should be FREELY GIVEN & WITHOUT COERCION (and ethusiastic)
