This was actually a shitty story, through and through.
-Lazy plot
-Over simplified/underdeveloped characters
-Loose ends
The un-needed and overly violent rape, followed by unrealistic “healing” was the visual equivalent of waving doo doo flies away from a trash can.
But you’re free to like it
Thank you! The rape was at least a better depiction than the romanticized versions of other yaoi but the way they resolved it with sex was so disappointing and entirely laughable. That's the type of trauma that would fuck him up but was instead used as mere plot device to get the mcs to finally have some emotional sex and a slapped on happy ending.
I feel like this manga has no ‘soul’ to it, y’know?
