I took it with the same view. And another question popped up: I always wondered, why do male children who were victims of pedophilia sometimes progress to be gay? (Before I'm burnt with pitch forks please understand it was a common misconception before LGBTQ+ became legal and a norm). I'd think that trauma would make one avoid repeating any action like that.
Then the grooming chapter kinda gave me a hint of an answer. To Kei that was expressed as love and was done in such a way that he got used to it. The "correction" being abuse didnt bring about any epiphany but created trauma and will leave him scarred till death - a pavlov response. I dont quite understand it, but I agree that this (and most of Harada's work) has a dark outlook that allows you to assess and think wow..... this could be real and needs to be addressed.
Indeed. Harada's work are mostly dark but They're* a good author.This slow-minded here might be thinking this is some kind of story to "Enjoy" like wtf gurl Go away and read tags sometimes(Sorry for my language).You should've known in the first place the whole plot.This story is not for entertainment but for awareness. Others who have gone through this might think this is "Love" but it isn't. The seme(Kei) Really is in the wrong but the parents too. The child would've not gone through this if they just didn't neglected the children. They didn't even report such thing Cause they're thinking about what others will say to their parenting(Uke's Mother POV)
The child should've be scared but He grows up thinking he love the seme.The seme's rapist is in the wrong.Like all of them do.It's like Similar to Stockholm Syndrome or maybe it is.
Again, Just sad and scary this have to happens in real life to other childrens.
Agreed. The mind is both terrifying and beautiful. Well, I got to balance this work out with some nonsense! One way to lift the mood is to escape from reality hahaha
I know it's disgusting to others(As it was meant to be).Others may be thinking "It's just the author romanticizing pedophilia" But If u understand nor read it by opening your mind, U will think that the plot is for peoples awareness.It's a warning, maybe for kids nor parents or whatever.It's just sad to think that this type of story is representing others life.Like this exist in real life.Some kids getting abused,raped,kidnapped, or whatever out there.They're suffering. It's also an awareness for some parents out there to look after their kids more, Protect them from danger. I know,It's disgusting, More like scary. But we should be open-minded sometimes and look for the real point of the story.It's up to you if you get triggered by this, And get mad by my opinion nor saying but It just needed to be told. Good story btw.
