It sucks that I'll never be able to get into this series due to there being statutory rape (never got far enough to see if there were any other issues).
Yes, the ML rapes the MC, also during this vol he's just a rlly awful person (he did make the MC believe there was smth going on w the student just to get his attention)
A lot of people have the theory the author was gonna make this a 1 vol story so they didn't care how bad the characters were but that change their mind after and decided to continue the story, since the next volumes are SO much nicer and every negative aspect of the original plot are gone (I personally pretend the first vol doesn't exist bc of this hahsh)
Are you sure he made it up? I'm on ch 10 and there has been no hints of it being a lie, the other comments calling him a pedo dont reassure me either. And each chapter just seems to lead me to believe that he did touch that kid... with the student being so close to him, though they fell inlove with the teacher, and even mentioned the lesson they had together. Not to mention the fact that his ex student alo fell in love with him and also did something "fun" with him.
Tbh if you're already past the first vol it's pointless to wonder abt bc as i said the author throw out the original plot out the window so it won't be addressed by him
It's never explicitly said whether he actually did it but the reason why me and others say he didn't do it its bc his behavior surrounding the MC.
He admitted from the beginning he talked abt sexual stuff with the student and the student says he also lend him a ear and helped him found himself, even if he said he touched him in some way the ML drew a pretty clear boundary with the student when he try to confess and do smth with him saying he wont be doing anything with a student. It's kinda on the table regardless but personally I think he really just play the part of supporting the student and in the process taught him things
Now going back to the MC, ML said he was interested in him and found it fascinating that he thought he was molesting a student, he was purposely vague abt it to keep him at bay and proceeded to keep doing things that could be misinterpreted by MC so he would keep having to go into the infirmary to him
Grooming could totally be possible tho
i think he did groom them it has a lot of implications i finished it and the student knew what the "lesson" MC was going through because he was taught the lesson too and he did admit to touching him plus theres the thing with the 2 students also going through the exact same lessons and not to mention they talked about how the student was smart enough not to confused physical touch to love, im not saying you can enjoy this but i feel like the implications are pretty obvious and concerning
Hot take: Takaomi owes Nomura nothing, and Nomura's actions are manipulative and selfish at best. I may or may not come back to elaborate (feeling tired and lazy)
But he didnt say he expected anything, he was waiting although persistent and yes selfish but the uke seemed fine with it cause he was getting something out of it(chores and food). I personally hated how undecisive the uke was, never so certain of anything and waited it till it snowballed. I stand waiting to be corrected
What the fuck is chapter 24??? I feel sick to my stomach... I haven't even finished the chapter, but I'm already contemplating dropping this. At least with other BL they don't wait until you're 24 chapters in to rape someone. This is a whole bait-and-switch. Fucking hell.
I'll just forget that chapter exists dude... bc is like literally out of nowhere! we went from wholesome funny shit, to joking about SA in just one chapter, is so weird... But the story's still good... And I really like the characters... So for me that chapter will be a fever dream that I never would want to revisit.
Honestly feel like this is a shout out from the author themselves about SA used as a common plot device in BL, which reflects on the dudes actions since he’s been reading so many BL as his source material on gay relationships. Uyun’s response is so satisfying, cause that’s how many of us readers of BL want as a response.
I didn't realize how short these guys are but their friends are so much taller than them lmao
