I started reading this manga before and stopped since it seemed boring and clichéd the beginning. But I love your comment because I hate the common "love your abusive, overly possessive rapist" yaoi trope. I don't know why it's so popular among mangakas tbh. If it were a female protagonist it would piss me off, since I have a cousin IRL that was abused both as a child and by her husband. She lived with me for couple years to escape him but now has returned to him. Of course both her dad and husband told her they love her, and she feels both trapped and obligated to "serve" them. It's not love IMO if there is abuse - because the vast majority of abusers never "change" and revert to abusive behavior when victims return to their partners. I know this is just fantasy, but it strikes a negative chord with me. I stop reading and/or avoid those mangas. But I like appreciate your comment because it sounds like this has a decent plot. I always read for the plot, so thanks!
Right,violence/abuse does not equal love.. I feel bad for your cousin, my mom was i n the same situation though eventually she eventually left my dad.(you should probably talk to her, being in a toxic relationship can lead to horrible things)
I wasn't going to read this either after I noticed the typical rape trope, but then the uke saved the story for me. He doesn't give in and is still trying hard to keep his pride in tact. This story shows how fake people are too. I think it's a good story as long as the uke doesn't end up liking the seme.
I agree with you, this manga's got a unique plot.This manga isn't one of my favourites yet since Azusa and Atsumu are still suffering, but it will, if they both join hands and do something that would make Karino and Kuze pay for what they're doing.This is personally how I'd prefer the manga to turn out.
This is on the best yaoi Manga I have read so far. I know many people hope for karino and azusa to end up together, but that would make it a typical cliché yaoi manga where the victim falls in love with their rapist. I just hope Karina and kuze suffer at the end
