what do you you expect, this is yaoi world, there is no author who depicted a real and seriousness of RAPE or SHOTA, like the after effect or trauma, they just romanticize everything and end it abruptly with Happy Ending bcause thats what the market wants. so you couldnt blame the reader for singing their praises.
Honestly, I've been in a situation when I was likely going to be raped, I dont know if he has any intention to rape me but at that time I feel like a frozen prey in front of predators, thank God someone came, just remembering that night chills me to the bone and made me scared to go out for years, I locked myself in my room fear the danger of outside world.
Poor Nii-chan! Am I the only one who pities him? I mean, you can't completely blame him for becoming a pedophile. He was raped as a child. He is mentally unstable. Don't go back to Yui! If you do, you won't be 'normal'. This isn't love! It's lust and pity. Nii-chan should go get some professional help, not the help from that woman, and move away from Japan. Completely start from scratch. Yui should also get some help because, a sane person wouldn't act like him. He was nearly raped as a child. That did some damage to his mental stability. He should forget about Nii-chan and continue living a boring, 'normal' life. Maiko is another story. No ofference but I don't like her at all. She also needs help because, breaking into someone's house against their will, willingly to blackmail someone with a picture of them being raped, and making a plan to rape someone is totally not okay! She needs therapy and should go behind bars! Everyone needs some fucking help! Even Nii-chan's disgusting and homophobic mother should be taught a lesson or two! She freaking contributed in Nii-chan's suffering! Child abuse!
I'm sorry if I sounded like a bitch for ranting about these mentally unstable characters. It's just the last few chapters are utterly bull crap. I love Harada's mangas, but this manga is on a whole different level. This is MY opinion.
