Maybe I'm just confused, but it seemed to me that there was no real rape, but Emo's with Kurama. I mean, my theory is that Kurama is traumatized 'cause of his father's prejudice and denies his sexuality, so, when he and Kirishima have sex and then, not much time later, he is raped by Emo, he associates everything. The scenes in his flashback did not see like rape. I mean, the way they were touching and kissing, the way he talked abaout things he forced himself to forget. Maybe it was in his head to make it easer for him to "stop being gay". I think everything was his father's plan (the rape), to work like a shock therapy. I don't know, maybe I just missed something, or saw more than what it really is. Anyway, this manga is strange, and nothing changes that Kirishima tried to (or did, I didn't get it) rape a girl, so, yeah, he is guilty and Kurama have mental issues (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
That is how I took it, I think it's really complicated. It's like he wanted it physically but mentally he wasn't ready, so I think it's kind of skirting along dubcon which some people still consider rape and really hate. The fact that he was so not ready and traumatized mentally kind of ruined it for me. Hopefully the end redemption moment is a reallyyy good one...

Totally agree! Hopefully things will get better, 'cause right now it just leaves an uncomfortable feeling
Even with Kirishima it was still rape. He wasn’t ready, he was scared and he didn’t want it but Kitishima forced him anyway. The whole scene plays with him saying how even if he did have a crush on the seme, daydream and fantasize about him: this wasn’t the time and he was scared of him. He says it literally like he taught him fear. And then after that he gets more abuse. Of course he’s traumatized. Rightfully so.
There’s nothing that suggests that the father had anything to do with his given his homophobic attitude and even his visit at the hospital saying such things like “just be glad u didn’t disown you” and to “go into hiding”.
