ogeretsu tanaka's works are godly lol that's an unfair comparison
Haha you make a valid point
H e may be hiding a consensual bdsm relationship with Eiji instead of a truly abusive one; that may be why it seems shallowly written in.
at first i actually thought hes going to be like oh im into bdsm, but honestly that kind of plot twist wont save this story, i feel its going to make it worse xD
U know I reread chaptr 1 and he does say he originally did bdsm play with Eiji but that he's been taking it too far recently or smthg like that. But I sense 0 yandere vibes from Eiji and 0 fear from the MC (neko) so maybe the author will abandon that plotline in favor of Fukami being set up somehow to be the next boyfriend. But yeah, like you I'm unimpressed so far...I was hoping for something clicheless...esp since Fukami doesnt look like hell be bisexual any time soon.
He also says in that chapter he hates it and don't like being hurt. So it is abuse.
The convo I was having with mrshatake wasn't debating whether abuse was present or not we were critiquing the author's unrealistic portrayal of it...did u mean to post your comment to a different thread?
Sabita Yoru Demo Koi Wa Sasayaku and sequels: amazing, emotional, deep story involving one main character in an abusive relationship. This: honestly, so far sorta mediocre. It's not horrible by any means, but not what I'd hoped for (at this point). Miya's reasons for staying in a domestic abuse situation, and his feelings about Eiji and the abuse, just seem quite hmmmm shallow? I'm not sure exactly how to say it. But I mean that the way this is written seems to be treating those aspects in an almost shallow way, like it's a vaguely angsty plot device to get the 2 MCs living together, and the REAL issue is that Fukami's straight. It doesn't sit quite right with me at the moment. But I shall persevere.
