I think it’s crazy to comment and say that people who read this or enjoyed reading it LIKE incest. I’m not even trying to defend this manga; like I also felt disgusted while reading and trust me- I hate the incest trope with a passion. But did we read the same manga? Because not once did this manga try to romanticize a single thing that the MC does.
The entire manga actively shows us how insanely fucked up the MC’s thoughts are and the MC himself is even self-aware of how messed up he is. It’s clearly just meant to be a psychologically twisted read and doesn’t normalize his actions. It’s pretty evident that the author’s intentions are to paint incest and his fantasies in a disturbing light. There are tons of mainstream, popular works out there that ACTUALLY romanticize incest and normalize rape but this manga is imo definitely not one of them lmao.
I’m not trying to defend this manga and you’re completely free to have an opinion and dislike it for any reason, but just know that some of the claims and arguments being made in the comments here are so WILD. When a character does something crazy, it doesn’t always mean it’s “romanticized” and when a reader enjoys a story, it definitely doesn’t mean the reader always agrees with the character’s actions. I hope some of you guys stay far away from works by other psychological authors.
