It's not surprising that it went toward the same old rape-to-love trope, but still disappointing. It started out much more realistically than some of them do, with the trauma/fear you might actually expect, so I was holding a little hope that it might be different. Le sigh...
yep, the beginning was refreshining, but the characters are too cliché, almost empty... The stories goes from "interesting" to "meh, deja vu"
Pretty much.
I really wish chapter 4 had been one differently. Maybe a fistfight or something like that; you can actually get over and forgive those, and fairly quickly. The rape taints an otherwise great story, without adding anything to the plot that couldn't have been accomplished without it.
So, not super explicit, but does this take it beyond qualifying as just shounen ai? http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/aitsu_no_daihonmei/mf/mi_chapter-23/pg-9/
Idk. The line can be really blurry sometimes. Yaoi is a lot harder to tell than with hentai because hentai is ONLY hardcore stuff, whereas yaoi is just sexual content, but the point at which it is considered as such can be very hard to tell at times.
This page made me think they went with the opposite roles from expected. How disappointing! http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/gentei_kareshi/mh/sa-c002/pg-20/
I also was expecting a switch, but the story was nice like it was ^ω^
Indeed. Still wish it hadn't tricked me...
Me too! I thought "so he wasn't able to make him come with blowjob"
What a delusion
This was one of the first mangas in this genre I started reading, the better part of a decade ago, and I've been periodically checking to see if it had been finished. So cute! Thanks so much to Blissful Sin for the project!
So, the characters in the first story recognized the rape as a horrible thing, the victim saying repeatedly that he should hate his friend for doing it, the rapist regretting his awful actions, etc. And yet, instantly forgiven, lovey dovey relationship immediately, and no apparent trauma? This is like rape trope in hyperdrive...
┑(￣Д ￣)┍ welcome to yaoi
I know right XD
These rapid updates are getting me spoiled. I'm going to expect this of everything and be sorely disappointed...
