Because "most of her works consist of rape and dark things" that they are popular ? You just answered your own question ╮(╯▽╰)╭
Because some people enjoy dark things and most yaoi is usually light and fluffy so it's nice to have something break the monotony
I enjoy it because the story and how her characters are. Even if it is rape, its interesting to read
Cus Im a horror fan, simple as that.
a lot of us are fans of dark stories, and she makes them really well.
for me everything seems real, that's why i love her, characters don't seem 2D.
and her works are pretty original.
and about rape and abuse - in her stories, it's presented as it is, ugly and scary, not like most other mangas. (no shade for other authors, i read all kind of stories :D)
You have to read more yaoi, so you'll understand, you'll find her story is very original and different
Mostly because how she write the psychological aspect. She doesn't sugar-coating rape but rather presents the psychological damages of it. Plus, her plots and characters are always unique.
Her works sure are different, with some twists but I personally like the ones that are "normal" she has some. But ya she's famous for her horror and dark stories.
Can someone tell me why Harada's works are so popular? I mean, I'm not judging or anything but most of her works consist of rape and dark things and it's almost scary for me to read it lol. I can read some rape scenes in some mangas but not Harada because it's just too extreme for me huhu. Sorry if I offend anyone btw.
