noun - unlawful sexual intercourse or any other sexual penetration of the vagina, anus, or mouth of another person, with or without force, by a sex organ, other body part, or foreign object, without the consent of the victim.
See that? That's the definition of rape.
Usually I'm VERY strict on the manga when rape is involved (specially if it is romanticised). I can't condone rape, no matter the circumstances. No matter if the people involved are dating, no matter if they "love" each other, if the sex is forced against one's will, is rape, no excuse.
So now... In this manga, was it rape or not?
In the last chapter the sex was rough, and the seme was out of his mind with jealousy and stress but I don't think the act was rape, it was consensual. The uke didn't try to stop the seme, didn't say no nor said he was scared, hurt, that he didn't want to, he wasn't trembling with fear nor was crying. The sex wasn't refused here. He wasn't hard but didn't think bad of the sex, it was his way of comforting his lover when he realised there was something wrong with him.
The seme felt guilty because he never had such rough sex with uke, he always treated him with care, so even he was uncomfortable with his actions. He was regretting it when the uke kissed him on the cheek and hugged him, like saying that he was ok with it.
It was stupid on his part? Yes it was, but the act wasn't rape, it was stupid pointless rough sex. It was the seme being desperate and lost and the uke being mature, loving and accepting his lover.
The dad and the blonde jerk arc was disgusting.
SPOILER
I don't mind that much age gab BUT your mate's dad is too much for me... I legit was rooting for the dad to start dating a woman and get married and the blonde kid to learn a lesson... I reaaaally didn't like his character at all. Too cunning and manipulative ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I don't care if my comment gets a lot of thumps down but I have to let it out!!
I totally hated this manga, just "finished" it by looking swiftly at the images.
All I saw from begining to end was a manipulative jerk, sexual harassment and sexual assault, NOTHING else AT ALL.
Only got an stomachache from this...
This is why I read the mangas here before deciding on purchasing them (〜￣△￣)〜 I'm not spending a single cent in this.
KAJSGSE S A M E
This is pretty muh "I'm gonna harass you ubtil you fall in love with me" trope AND I FUCKING H A T E IT AAAAAAA
The bottom legit fell in love with that ass for treating him like shit tf?????
The only "good" this that the top did for the bottom was helped him in lifting the boxes and explaining to others thingy whICH IS A BASIC THING TO DO IF UR SOMEONE WITH A BRAIN
The only decent chara in this is the girl with a ponytail who actually gave some decent advice ajvzuwgevr
Yeaaah!!! And because he bought him sweets the molesting is ok?!?!!!
Sorry if there's someone out there who enjoyed this piece of... "art"... but this kind of plot is plain stupid. I hate that nowadays there's still authors that still use this layout.
Amxhheve ikr Kinda hoping that more authors would put more thought into developing the characters more + their relationships
I just read this story today and ngl I barely remember anything that had happened, I only remember feeling frustrated with this aaa
I know what u r saying. tbh i was fine with it for the first time. and then all the other or most of the mangas have this kinda trope which irritates me to the core. like if you guys wanna produce mangas with romance and smut/porn with plot pls just come up with new scenarios and just let go dubcon. its no fun
I think the same. Wish that authors could come up with new scenarios!
I was fine with it 10-15 years ago... It's a troupe more than 10 years old! The only thing that's changed is the format (from traditional to digital) and drawing style.
Well... this kind of manga is targeted to younger and newer audiences... They may like what I liked 15 years ago lol when a kid, you don't notice what's wrong with this kind of plot and management of characters, only care about the smut and I totally get it :/
I hate being old OTL
Before I start reading I have a question...
Is the ending the type "They got together, the end."? And shows not much of actual couple content?
They date a bit starting chapter 51 but since it is a long Distance relationship and there is a lot of drama there is not so much content. It is more about how one of the character will try to seduce the other and so on. Anyway, great story, you should give it a try. The first season will be very frustrating and heartbreaking, you will want to kill Skyler, but it really will turn out great and in a reasonable way. All of their actions will be explained in a satisfactory manner including how the misunderstanging could grow to this point, forgiveness will take time and so on.
It's interesting... There's actually a hetero (that kept being hetero) best friend whom the MC is in love with and confessed to in a BL and he has his own story with his girlfriend... Unbelievable o0o
DON'TREADTHIS
I wish That when you went to the common section at the bottom before reading This was the comment that I father unfortunately I didn’t have my curiosity got the best of me
....ok? I didn't understand most of your comment... But you read it? Lol
I think they're trying to say that they wished they had seen your comment before deciding to read this? I have no idea lol
Yeah for some reason I make horrible decision to read stuff like this in the middle of the night and I have dyslexia I’m extremely tired and I use text to speech
Ok
Well there's consent... Yes? I mean, he's a prostitute obviously he would consent to sex, it's his job... BUT it felt good that the seme waited to go all the way until uke felt safe, THAT was rare for such a smutty yaoi, involving Yakuza to boot.
Though I find kind of sad that such a normal thing is so rare in yaoi.
Yup. Yup. (▰˘◡˘▰)
Chiya's really unstable (≧∀≦)
A really cute story of a shy guy struggling to express his feelings <3
This a very cute character development ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
But, this character is really frustrating to me because I used to be just like that orz
This is cute and very sweet... And I think that is the problem... It doesn't do enough to cause an impression and grab your attention.
The art is beautiful and the plot is REALLY cute, but that's it. Is a really good manga to pass the time, like a little dessert.
I liked it very much, though.
This manwha is extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely soft and innocent!!! I feel like my soul is a liiiiittle bit cleaner now ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I'm all warm and fluffy inside, don't touch me -//////-
