To be honest I agree, I am very anti rape in yaois because of how its written. But as you said, the author rightly treats it as something despicable that the seme acknowledges. Well said.
I thought the same! at first I was like "man not another rape manga" and then thought that this author does not usually go in that direction. It's very hard to decide which side to be on, because even though what he did was horrible he feels guilt and try to redeem himslef... idk feels wierd to be honest XD so not used to this
This manga gives me a lot of mixed feelings. The author evidently treated the rape as something despicable, yet the main character feels guilt for what he’d done. Of course, this guilt doesn’t alleviate his actions (the bitter taste still lingers), but the fact that he makes efforts to redeem himself makes this series very confused emotionally. I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to other Yaoi manga which use the “rape trope.” This is just my two cents though
