i just wanna first give credit where credit is definitely due: and that’s in the incredibly beautiful artstyle. Everything else though was shit. and the worst part is that it actually has potential. i think the themes portrayed are really powerful and can make a really compelling message. unfortunately, this manga wants to pretend it’s revealing these greater truths and dark themes without taking the actual time to deconstruct and deliver them in a respectful manner. fuck the fmc and her predatory relationship with her student, fuck the rapist guy who were supposed to feel sad for ig because oh no his mom was a domestic abuse victim (i’m not invalidating the suffering and misery his mom and even he experienced. i just fucking hate the way it’s handled), fuck that girl who was taking pictures of them like a creep and constantly contradicting her, fuck her rapist pseudo bf(?), and honestly fuck the author for making me go through this shit. This shit is honestly more harmful because it’s so unclear on its moral stance and especially because of its deplorable abusive relationships and dynamics that it never properly handles. this feels like one of those european artsy films that pretend like they have some greater message when in reality they’re just rape fantasies wrapped in pretty cinematography and visual language. i hate this manga so much that midway through my anger was directed at not the characters and horrible storylines but the author themselves. whoever the fuck created this i need you to sleep with one eye open
