FINALLY A DAMN TRUTH
THANK YOU it’s literally impossible to read Hanoi without some sort of rape and its disgusting
Yaoi *
Even though this story has rape in it I still like it. I also know that rape isn't a good thing, and that people should have there own opinions on reading different types of genres.
All these comments about this manga being non-violent and non-rapey are ridiculous and prove one thing - unfortunately double standards DO exist. What happened in the first chapter could be called a 'forced seduction' but lets be blunt and call it rape. Seme clearly says 'stop it', he struggles and uke restrains him forcibly. Usually it's more than enough to see that someone was raped, but not this time, apparently. All you can see is power bottom being in charge. You conveniently ignore the fact that their first sex was non-consensual. Why? Because Shinonome is a seme and 'seme can't be raped'? Let me break it to you, if someone forces himself on the other person it's rape and being top or bottom doesn't change anything. Topping/bottoming is just a matter of personal preference and it can't justify committing an assault. A lot of readers condemn mangakas for creating stories with rape theme (see Kajou Mousou Shounen by the same author) and yet they cheer for uke raping seme (!). I don't hate this manga and I'm not gonna judge people with a non-con fetish, but this story is not better than any other yaoi with a rape to love trope. The usual roles of victim and culprit are reversed, that's all. My fellow yaoi readers, dislike my comment if it makes your mood better, but please don't be hypocrites and don't support double standards (I'm sorry for the rant, but I couldn't help myself).
