Oh, this one confuse me! ╮(￣▽￣)╭

So, I'm definitively NOT pro-rape and that's a subject that really bothers me in 45% of yaoi stories and 90% of omegaverse stories. However, this manga gave me diferent sensations, though I'm not saying it was not rape at all. In general, the rape scenes are a lazy excuse for a fast relationship development, since fujoshi (including the autor's) are eager to see some hot stuff going on, so, summarizing, its unnecessary (if rape would ever be necessary). But in this manga the plot and world construction were well built to converge to this point. I mean, the story give us a plausible explanation behind heat, much more detailed and didactic than a lot of other omegaverse's out there; it shows that heat is, indeed, somenthing almost animalistic, it's all about instincts and losing control of themselfs, mostly for alphas. On the other hand, it also introduce ways to control the heat, and we learn with Megume that there are medicines even for aphas to resist omega heats. Conclusion: There's many paths to avoid unconsensual sex relationships according this manga. Megume used those drugs, he did his part, Tsugumi was the one that decided to take the risk. And I understand why, he has faith on his strength (mind and body), yet we can clearly see when he changes his mind and give in, a little at least. Then, he probably got scaried and backooff on his
thoughts, but the alpha could not control himself anymore, literally. Tsugumi could have beaten megumi as he did before,
nevertheless he also succumbed to heat (his body is an evidence). In the end, maybe, impartially analyzing yha whole case, both are guilty, one 'cause was incapable of enduring his instincts, and the other 'cause was too stubborn to collaborate (and did lose some of his resistance as well). ╮(￣▽￣)╭
