What’s the point of doing that when you want to spread awareness of people’s lives out there. There are many people with lives exactly like Saki. This manga is supposed to make you feel disgusted, sad, empty and for the most part, it’s to teach you to rethink your choices in life and choose carefully. There’s a lot of meaning in this and a lot of things you can learn from this.

i've heard it made some people stop consuming porn. it doesn't just make you feel bad for the girl, it also makes you feel horrible about yourself so i think it works. i never felt nearly as bad for ash as i did for her cause it was easy to skip over these scenes in banana fish. hearing something that happened and seeing it happen in explicit detail don't cause the same effect
This would have been such a good manga if it weren’t for the author to show all the rape scenes so explicitly. In fact there shouldn’t have been any sex scenes at all. Maybe a few to under the situation but making every chapter have long sex scenes about this girl suffering and getting raped is disgusting. I don’t know what was the reason to sexualize the shit this girl went through. It’s sad how people actually go through this but taking a situation like this and making it into a hentai is so fucked up and so disrespectful. The author had so much potential but decide to take the route into making this into a hentai. Whoever even thinks this shit is hot you really need help because there wasn’t anything attractive about the girl getting raped so explicitly.
