Also Murakami didnt strike me as someone that can't say no when it comes down to it. He had previous relationships, is sociable and taller than Mizuki. IMO he wouldnt be easily mentally or physically forced to commit. He quickly settled the business situation and also dealt with his relation to Mizuki right after he realises that he likes him. Seems to be more decisive if qnything
Which makes me more inclined to think that we actually started fiurher in the manga after the story starts and feelings have been sparked and i might be reaching but maybe the whole time Murakami was in denial of not wanting the relation with Mizuki until Mizuki stopped his advances when he realises he actually was into it
At the end it felt like a real relationship between guys. No-one overly dominant nor taking all the cute and yet they fit well (just like irl). Just two bros in love with each other. (I personally don't like assigning top/bottom just from looks or personality but hey who cares its fiction)
Now for the beginning tho, meh they were both bad at that, one sexual harassment and the other coercive/rape.
Do i feel bad about it? Yes
Am i okay with it? Somewhat
Do i think the plot made sense? I think so?
Murakami was prodding Mizuki and he finally snapped. Murakami seemed more confused than hate the situation(kinda enabling abit) imo so I'm willing to bet that there was already some interest already brewing tho not deep
Just my thoughts as a guy too, i just felt he might've felt half guilty half responsible for stirring Mizuki and wasn't that opposed to the advances cos he was also somewhat into Mizuki too(?) (Also please don't cancel me but as a guy, i don't feel like guys see sexual relations as that important as girls so that might've been the reason Mizuki didn't see his actions as damning)
yeah it was dubcon but they let it settle too peacefully so imo they were already into each other somewhat. Bad process but good result
