I see many people bring up Banana Fish in works with (pretty) blond and black characters. Like this one, Jeweler Richard and so many more.
That shit work is very traumatizing and has a LOT of triggering content like child r@pe, prostitution and r@pe. THIS WORK DOES NOT. Why compare and mention it here.
I understand people might miss that work or what ever and cannot handle the fact that it ended, but please, request all of you people to stop bringing it up in all other works for no apparent reason.
No apparent reason huh
I don't see any reason why other works have to be brought up in a completely unrelated work.
That too when that work is very traumatizing and triggering. Why bring up something like that when people are trying to enjoy a totally different genre.
Now this work brings up associated feelings with the other work, when ever people look at this poster. Just because some cultist people can't control their feelings. That other work is still on this site. Please use that for your discussions on that work.
This is a type of ruining a perfectly good work for other people.
I generally look at the comments to see if there is any sensitive content in the work. Instead I see people repeatedly mentioning some other work which is totally unrelated, and has very triggering content. This in fact again brings up bad feeling to light.
And here comes the downvoting from cultists for a request to stop bringing up triggering stuff. Seriously you people are beyond reason.
A completely different genre? Triggering things? You realize Max Mojave's case has those subjects right? You realize the similarity with banana fish doesn't stop at blond and brunette protagonists right? If you don't want people to bring it up maybe use a different argument than " they're totally different" they're not.
You do realize Max (THE MAIN CHARACTER) was not raped as a child right? You do realize he was not used for a child prostitute right? You do realize he was not raped constantly even as an teen/adult right? How is this same as that work?
Yes, there are such elements, but not with main characters. And a simple trigger warning would have sufficed if people wanted to warn other people of such elements. But noooo. people won't do that.
Apart from looks, mob and some scenarios, it's literally a different story line and their personalities are also different.
Even if 2 works are a bit similar, what is the point of bringing one into another. There are so many comments here saying this is "2.0" or "They are literally Ash and Eiji", or "I hope the author doesn't kill Max because it happened to Ash.", so on and so forth. The whole comments section is filled with this. Are people really reading THIS work or just trying to hang on to the feelings they got from other work. I think it's the later. Totally like a CULT.
And not just this one.. Any other manga or any video on YouTube with a characters with similar looks, BAAM.. The cult started commenting "ash and eiji" "ash and eiji". We get it, they look a bit similar, but stop with the cultist mindset and these comments.
Also, here are a few examples (from this site) of how people bring that work into literally anything.

And so on.. This is just the tip of iceberg. There are literally thousands of comments all across this site, reddit, YouTube etc. I can't see this as anything but as a CULT.
It’s honestly never that serious to write whole paragraphs about comparing this to banana fish not every comparison needs have same background/personality to be like bffr and calm the fuck down
May be it's not serious for you, but for others it is. There are tons of comments in this section asking for people to stop bringing up that work into this.
It's triggering for some people. People get physically sick due to such triggers. If this work had the same amount of triggering content or trauma, then it might not have been so disturbing (Because people who have those issues wouldn't be reading this work in that case). But what am I expecting from people. Seriously... A genuine request with reasoning triggers such responses.
Calling people dumb or asking to "calm the fuck down" is easy to do. But there is no substantial reason for anyone to actually understand or follow what you want with just these words.
If someone wants to get their point through they have to explain. That explanation might lead to such long paragraphs.
I believe in explaining my viewpoint instead of just name calling others. If you have a problem with that, nothing I can do about it.
Again I’m say it not serious to make whole paragraphs and I’m not reading all I stand by my point doesn’t matter if you agree or not
No point in even "trying" to have a conversation with a person who doesn't read what others are saying. So not going to reply after this.
People won't understand what they don't want to understand.
That disgusting excuse for a brother really did try to drug him and rape him. Disgusting piece of shit.
Ch 30 had me doubting myself for a second if Limon was an omega. Thank god that wasn't the case. I really hate it when a really pretty character is written as omega or uke just because they are beautiful. And that too when they explicitly call out blond as pretty.
https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/15013118/
I really hope that Limon doesn't rape Inferna either.
I would not call what Suou is doing as "teasing". Saying that he is going too far is also not correct. This is just plain mental abuse. Don't we often see this in abusive relationships? Making them feel insecure, putting your partner down or trying to lower their self-esteem so that they are trapped in the abusive relationship. Suou basically does all this. Even after starting a relationship, he repeatedly tells Rikiya that's he is not good enough, that Shinobu is cuter than him, gentler than him and is more important. I don't see how this is even remotely healthy.
So what if Rikiya thinks of you as a younger person or so called subordinate (even though Rikiya doesn't actually show anywhere that he is trying to put down Suou)? What has that got to do with love? Can't you just ask him out? Why try to start a relationship only based on jealously. He is so manipulative and abusive. And he always puts the blame on Rikiya. Yes, Rikiya is not very expressive but is mental abuse supposed to fix that? I just wish Rikiya would break up with him. Dealing with that kind of constant mental abuse is going to take a toll on him in the long run. Heck he constantly gets sick due to Suou already.
This is just an irredeemable work with tons of stupidity. Nothing good about it.
Another example of illogical physical attributes like Heat and Run.
Aki has light hair and his brother has dark hair. And Sai's family.. Every single one of the brothers have a different hair color. Like.. Just why and how..
My only consolation is that the author here (unlike in Heat and Run) did not make him (Aki) light haired just to make him uke. Averted Light haired uke stereotype successfully. Thanks Author.
Enjoyed reading this though.
Are people just going to brush the fact that Kai (seme) was also raped since childhood? He was sold into prostitution (by his mother) where cats use them as heat relievers. No mentions of his trauma at all.. WOW... Nor about all the other human children..
Could also apply to Meri (uke) but his age is not mentioned anywhere.
Also, another seme with rape as back story with light hair.. Sick of this trope already.
Rare uploader/translator who actually put Trigger Warnings for pedophilia and other sensitive stuff. Thank you!!!
and still by dumbass scrolled right past the warning, didn’t even notice it
:(
I myself put Trigger Warnings before but it's lost in the sea of comments.
https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/14638102/
I also put tags on this, but that does not show up as well :(
We really need a glaringly obvious Trigger Warning section on this site, so that people can't miss it if even they want to.
Mentions of Child Rape/Molestation. Another light haired seme raped/molested as a child.
Although I like this work, I am really appalled at the fact that the author just brushed the child rape as consensual. Hiroki (seme) actually mentions in the passing that his first experience was a child during his elementary school and even says "Don't worry, it was it was consensual". How is an elementary school student, A KID, supposed to consent to sexual activities. Seriously what is wrong with the author? Why even mention it, and even if you did, why can't you portray it as what it is, RAPE, instead of naming it "consensual". Disgusting.
It's old manga i think consent age in Japan was 13 before now it's 15. That's why he said that he gave consent to do it. But it's actually disturbing af
But he clearly says that it happened in elementary school. He was a child much younger than 13.
Even if the consent age is 13 or 15, I don't think it's with adults. It's more like with teenagers of similar age. If it's with an adult it's considered child r@pe.
Japan work very weird with children affairs , it's actually true back then 13 year old child can give consent to an adult it's not among same age, it's actually disgusting I just can't imagine that kid could be capable enough of giving a consent at such a young age
Agreed (๑-﹏-๑)
But what TF is the manga called you're talking about
Trigger Warning - Child Rape, Grooming, Disgusting Teacher (pedophile), Child Abuse, Parental Neglect
Disgusting piece of shit teachers (Pedophile) who lay their hands on students (kids). Also the disgusting parents who give birth but cannot take care of their kids, what's the point of your pointless life. No amount of torture is enough for these people.
Also, another manga with light haired seme with rape as back story. Sick of this already.
Another disgusting manga I started reading on WT without knowing about the child rape. Put some Trigger Warning or tags damn it.
Kai (seme) was constantly raped as a child. His mother was raped in front of him, then is taken in by something like yakuza and he was repeatedly raped as well. He is seriously mentally damaged.
I don't understand the authors need to make these kinds of seme characters light haired. They hardly write these scenarios with dark haired semes. Authors love subjected light haired characters to these kinds of abuse and atrocities. Sick of this disgusting trope already. Disgusting authors. Serious case of racial domination and twisted racial rape fetishism.
On top of that all the other kinds of violence. Just a ton of shit.
Trigger Warning - Pedophilia, Child r@pe, Child Prostitution, Child Abuse, Child Sex Trafficking
Damn it. Another work with sensitive/triggering content without any warnings. Disgusting.
Also seriously the disgusting adults surrounding these kids. No amount of torture is enough for these disgusting creatures.
Also, another light haired seme who is subjected to sexual abuse as a child. Hardly happens to dark haired semes. Authors have this twisted racial domination and fetishism going on where they write light haired characters being repeatedly subjected to such atrocities.
Till date, number of manga with this trope - 58 (Light haired Seme) vs 17 (Dark haired Seme). I don't even need to count this happening to light haired ukes, since the majority is written with light haired person as uke.
Well what do you know, author is korean and korean is intolerant toward non black hair nature
wait does the manhwa show full on child r*pe? like the whole thing? or is it few panels or just mention of it in flashbacks and stuff?
Can't say anything about the manhwa, but so far the novel only has mentions of rape and sexual assault that is happening to the circus performers (that might include the child MC? It was an incident that happened in the past)
oh. can you link me the novel please? and thanks
Sure here it is https://booktoki330.com/novel/5408747?stx=%EC%9A%B8%ED%94%84+%EC%9D%B8+%EB%8D%94+%EC%BC%80&book=%EC%99%84%EA%B2%B0%EC%86%8C%EC%84%A4
oh it was dropped...
It's not limited to just this author or just Korean authors. This happens in all Japanese, Chinese and Korean works.
I have seen many authors mainly write seme as dark haired and when they write some work with seme with r@pe as backstory, they suddenly switch the seme to being light haired.
This is not even limited to BL, same thing happens with male characters in other genre.
Heck, even in hetro manga, women most often than not are portrayed with light haired.
For countries with predominantly black hair to first portray so many light haired characters, and further more portray these atrocities committed against them...
Idk about chinese since I almost never read chinese webtoon but Ive seen enough black haired got raped in japanese yaoi
Not saying that doesn't happen. I am talking about numbers.
With semes, the majority is light haired.
With ukes, in general about 70 to 80% have light hair. So, even considering same % of atrocities committed towards light vs dark haired ukes, the % is more for light haired ukes.
Japanese, Korean and Chinese all follow this.
Does it say specifically what the incident was
So up to the point I read the MC does talk about the incident in detail. He was supposed to service a guest in the crater, an adult man. It wasn't full on rape as there was no penetration but it came very close to it. Fortunately at the last minute he turned into a wolf and attacked the pedo but didn't kill him
Well at the very least I'm glad he attacked him shame he didn't kill the pedo still disgusting they have children doing that damn thank you
Sorry can I also ask is it going to happen again to him I'm not sure if I should keep reading if it does ?
I finished the first volume where he is still a child and nothing like that happens again. I also skipped a bit further and didn't see anything related to rape, but I'm not 100 % sure as it was mtl. Anyways I'm gonna continue reading it as characters and the story is interesting and I want to see the MC grow and become more self confident amd not be afraid and repulsed by his monster side
Ok tysm
Wtf author should have made him kill that nasty ass pedo
The people outsode the tent noticed the commotion and went in and subdued Six so he couldn't do anything
