Gozu is so fucking thirsty I love him. I have a feeling our little demon king will become quite heroic due to his love for Gozu.
I know itâs yaoi and weâre not supposed to think too deeply about it, but my baby manages to get bent in ALL kinds of difficult positions with his âdisabled bodyâ like....if he canât walk properly how the f is this man pretzeling him in a car without pain/discomfort? Like?
LMAOAO PRETEZLING HIM PLS but you have a great point mans like a bendy eraser but canât manage to walk without crutches
Donât get me wrong, I am SO happy for baby getting ample amounts of the most delicious degrading/rough peen. But every time this man pops up, he can contort however tf he needs to in order to get that grade a usda approved pipe?
Yes!!!!!!â
Yuri is THAT bitch!
Honey was sweet and innocent as pie until those scissors came out. Thatâs how you protect those you love! Shin take notes! Fight for Wolfgang!
That forced oral scene in the beginning was disturbing enough. No more rape. It really isnât necessary to keep a story interesting. We already have a dozen different things going on in the plot, we donât need rape anything. The best part of this story was how sensitive Nuah was to Rixâs likes and dislikes....how when the word ânoâ was uttered, Rix full stopped. Pls donât sully it author.
Itâs like watching your child ride off into their bright, beautiful future. Iâve followed this story form the BEGINNING and I am so grateful it ended so well and full of healthy, loving couples.
I donât know why I still read Harada all the stories have such fucked up undertones. Granted this one was HILARIOUS, but this dude was raped by Reo so often thatâs probably where he developed his love of bottoming. And itâs a running joke. It was funny when you realized he banged the whole family, but Reoâs actions were pretty unforgivable and he didnât receive a single redeeming quality the entire story. But then again, thatâs Harada
Not to mention all the victim blaming...poor dude got raped all throughout highschool and then gets blamed for everything....very not cool or funny...
Agreed. Not funny. Not cool. Very hard to read. But then again, thatâs Harada.
But thatâs what was so weird about it...Harada usually is brutal but doesnât necessarily make it a punchline....this one was just really weird. I really couldnât tell what the point of all that was...I guess just a reason for him to like butt stuff...idk....
......Iâve always thought of Harada as exploitive. Like with Nii-chan, she couldâve alluded to the dangers of pedophillia but no, it was painstakingly and graphically drawn. And then instead of revenge, which wouldâve been appropriate, the victim seeks out the abuser and rapes him back because he loves him. Like, it wasnât a comedy but if Harada is trying to make you laugh, youâre definitely going to cringe too. So I felt this was spot on for her (his?) work.
This is, of course, not mentioning her Gintama djs (which damn near all of them are nightmare inducing, disturbing playgrounds for pedophillia) where an actual toddler was molested.....and it was played off for laughs. You molested a toddler! No pay for you and a fist to the head. Like Harada has no chill.
Wow I didnât know that....Yeah Japan has some very lax cp laws...thereâs a big mentality there about how fiction should cater to fantasies whether itâs healthy or not and dangerous or not....which is why even a huge show for KIDS like card captor sakura literally has pedophilia....an elementary schooler dating her adult teacher who has to be at least 30. I didnât watch that as a kid and wanted to as an adult but that shit was mind blowing to me...itâs definitely not good to validate kids crushes on adults in media because it makes them vulnerable to adults that would take advantage of that....but I guess for adults and r-18 material it shouldnât be the same issue...that is if a bunch of kids werenât accessing this stuff on sites like this lmao. There was a lot of messed up anime stuff I started to think was normal as a kid that just wanted to watch anime online and didnât know that ecchi shows werenât normal tv shows/anime and definitely shouldnât have been stuff I was watching in elementary school...but the nice thing I see on this site is lots of people discussing morals and ethics and sexual assault in the comments of this site, so at least maybe that makes it easier for young people to distinguish fact and fiction?
I agree with you too. Sometimes harada's writing seems like blatant fetishism of fucked up scenarios like this.
Agreed! I think if youâre able to rationally discuss the morality of the content, youâre probably ok. I can enjoy, to an extent, the cringe of Harada while fully understanding that NONE of this shit is funny or ok in the real world. As a child I got into a lot of messed up manga/anime too and it definitely left a few scars. Maybe if a kid does (itâs inevitable) finds this site and this story, maybe theyâll read this exchange and be like âoh good, none of this is normal and I should be outraged/upsetâ or âmaybe I can enjoy this, as long as it doesnât carry into my real world interactions with peopleâ. Never watched Card Captor Sakura but I find it baffling anyone would be ok with an elementary school kid dating an adult.
Donât get me wrong, some of the stories are riveting. And part of the appeal is that fear of turning the page and seeing something really, really fucked up. It just goes too far sometimes. There is definitely a line in all works of fiction, just like reality, that you just shouldnât cross. You lose too much of your humanity when you do.
Yes totally
That is the problem. Sometimes in the process of making the story more gripping and more brutal, Harada loses sight of the fact that showing abuse without its impact emotionally tortures the reader too. We get engrossed in a characters well being and then see their life go down the gutter with no hopes of getting up. This cycle of abuse and despair continue for both the reader and the protagonist. That is torture. In this story, I badly want yoshiyuki to find peace in his life seeing how much he is emotionally and even physically (I dare say) traumatized. That's why I'm still following it. His dream of having a job and a cute lover (that loves and cares about his well being), who will b**g is a** should come true.
Ugh I agree! So well said. Reminds me of the one Iâm about the hairdressers..(SPOILERS)at a certain point I stopped reading the chapters but checked the updates to see how things turned out because like you say it becomes too painful for the reader but you still want to hold out hope for this character youâre invested in. I really wanted it to flip around on the abuser and have him be the one emotionally crippled by the consequences of his own actions or something...but instead heâs able to trick and be forgiven by his victim and goes on to keep abusing him...it was so upsetting. The only truly good series by harada is the one whose name I forget but it always starts out like itâs rape, or ntr, or teacherxstudent for the punchline to be itâs actually just this kinky couple role playing with each other...I love the stories about those characters because you can see all the âwtfâ stuff but then by the end you know itâs a couple just having fun with each other
Harada has done this same thing in yatamomo, niichan and color recipe. I hope she doesn't make this same mistake in this manga too. One thing I noticed is that Harada is not good with long stories. But has a proper idea of pacing for one shots. That's why harada's one shots are generally more intriguing and delivers more impact.
I think you're talking about the Henai series. I like them too. I like the oneshot ( We are all side characters) the best.
I never thought about that before but youâre so right! Haradas longer stories really kind of lose themselves. I think you make a good point. The only exception I can think of is one room angel which I think was a pretty interesting work showing off what harada is capable of outside of the yaoi genre. I notice a lot of...smut writers tend to be quite good at writing outside of smut and tend to kind of go a little crazy when writing with trying to fit sex scenes in, in mind.
True. Smut starts to take up the story more than the plot itself.
I've never heard of one room angel. Is it available in mangago?
Oh I've found it. Longer version of the story "Torch". I like it too. Sorry I forgot the name.
Ugh Param I love you babe, please get over Han. Heâs a douche and Hwi is so freaking adorable
Itâs obvious from Nickâs short flashback that heâs been traumatized by his upbringing too, and left (in all likelihood) the love of his life to play perfect son. Itâs gonna hurt like a bitch when that realization comes to fruition for him. Heâs still a dickwad.
Theo, is adorable AF and I love his stalky butt. He asked for PERMISSION to fall in love. Wtf. Protect him.
Louis is a treasure and I hope he treats Theo right despite the questionable ethics of their relationship. 7 years is a long time to love a sociopath.
Holy shit! Holy Shit! HOLY SHIT! He knows now omg!
