This manga is incredibly dark and a well written exploration of how a relationship would realistically develop on a basis of rape, the kinds of people who’d be able for this to happen, and thoughtful portrayals of power and balance. It’s quite heavy and satisfying. I highly recommend it if that sounds interesting to you. Nothing is romanticized or excused between the leads, and it asks a question do when, if ever, their relationship could strike balance after something like that occurred—is balance restored after one rapes the other back? If you learned one was blackout drunk? If the other saves the other from being raped?—it’s a very unique fictional exploration of the subject, and doesn’t offer a clear answer.
That being said THE LITTLE STICKY NOTE NOTEBOOK AT THE END MADE MY HEART MELT A LITTLE THAT WAS CUTE
