the uke is just a rehashed version of the useless uke trope i've seen 500 times - blushes too easily, loses his personality in front of the seme, becomes too docile and obedient etc etc. such a waste of pretty art
LMAO of course there’s always THIS one DUDE in the comments
ikr
it's your fault for not saying no to be raped? That is a given you shitty fucking mangaka
This isn't even BDSM. This is flat out rape and torture porn. Disgusting.
Do you even know what rape and torture is??? If so then you should know nothing in this manga was rape or torture
Do you know what BDSM is or what torture/rape porn is?
Your reply has nothing to do with what I said? Did you respond to the wrong person?
if ur drunk u cant consent. the end
Drunken sex is drunken sex. If you are drunk you can consent. Plus this dude didn't even touch him when he was drunk and I legit don't think he was going to. He waited until the dude woke up and even explained everything
being drunk means you cant consent. this is why this website should restrict 12 yr olds getting on here and spewing BS without knowing how the law works in the real world
Calling someone who studies law a 12 year old (even if not directly) makes you seem even less intelligent. By law, yes, drunken consent is still consent no matter how you put it unless he was forced to drink or his drink was spiked. If you drink of your own free will and consent to something like this then there is nothing law enforcement's can do about it.
okay miss law student. please share which law from your country allows being drunk as being consensual. make sure to explain in detail ith relevant links
I'm from the US but that doesn't mean I'm necessarily gonna stay (mainly because I hate the government system atm). Also I don't believe that in any country it states that being drunk doesn't allow you to agree to anything especially something this minor (since it isn't rape because he didn't do anything). If so many drunk people all over the world would be put in jail or fined left and right. And as far as your little demands for links, I don't have to? You have a cellular device or something right? Look it up yourself since you want to tell me I'm wrong kid. He gave consent while being drunk and when he woke up. Basic common sense. You saying that it's rape is merely just an opinion and not law.
Even “law students” don't actually understand common sense
Well I'm one of the law students that actually do. Your point? Cant say I dont because everything I said had something to do with it, plus this is almost fucking a month old. Let it go
Not only was the plot all over the place, I'm disgusted by how many idiots here are screaming about "uwu true love" when clearly the seme raped the uke when he was drugged. This isn't love.
Can I get an AMEN! The plot was terrible!
Actually that was due to the fact that he was given drugs and aphrodisiacs. And in other mangas when you get those you have no memory but you crave sexual release or you are in big pain. Well this is not quite true (there are drugs like ruffies but they do not work exactly like that, especially aphrodisiacs). In mangaland they do exist thought and if the protagonist was drugged someone must "assist" him in order not to feel pain ╮(￣▽￣)╭
yeah no, the person that’s drugged is under the influence of the drugs so it’s not consensual at all. Anyone in their right mind wouldn’t lay a hand on an obviously drugged person.
Yes. But the thing here is "context". Remember please you are in the land of Yaoi Mensing self lubricating assholes, no-prep sex, static roles in sex and my personal favourite "what the hell is communication". So rules here get warped and it's alright as long as you understand is just fantasy that doesn't translate to reality. There was just one manga I can recall that actually took "consent under drug influence is not consent" and said so explicitly (btw it was one hell of a stupid generic manga that I really didn't expect to see that).
As Merenda said, drugs don't act like that. Those drugs that we often see in mangas are fictional and highly exaggerated like most yaoi rules.
So giving here the status of rape to what happened here without any of the emotional baggage it carries it's problematic for starters.
I like this mangaka's works but jfc this manga was shitty from start to end.
but tbh the length of these chapters is a joke. the avg ch is 35 pages long and these are barely 10 pages long. why?
not to mention they suddenly have sex for the sake of it but none of the extras have any sex scenes in them. and why even have sex w someone whose asshole was ripped when he had sex? it hadn't even been a week jfc
It's a much longer period of time than you're perceiving. I can't wholly blame that on your perception, though. You perceive what you perceive. The thing that bothers me is that those who make this comment seem to be overfocused on the rape. It's fiction. You're supposed to suspend your disbelief, not because of morals but because you're reading this for your pleasure. Dropping your focus over the rape, and reading on in the same normal mindset you read the rest of the story is the idea. Focusing on ripped assholes is not the point. Your enjoyment and delight as a reader with a story that is essentially a fantastic drama is the point. Why read something just to infuriate and traumatize yourself by hyperfocusing on bleeding wounds? Reading fiction is an intellectual exercise in leaving behind real life and taking on the pleasure, suspense, and excitement that is essential to your individual mental health through the reading experience. It's a mental vacation, not a descent into hell.
For instance, if you overfocused on Matthew's traumatic experience, which was far worse than Yuto's, you'd open yourself to a depression. Instead of doing that, though, your consciousness bridges the psychological abyss instead.
If you ran to the toilet and threw up, spent days in an agony of empathy for the fictional victimization of the character, pictured the horror of it, were reminded of rl victims, and felt guilty even for being human - you'd probably agree that it's better to suspend that experience in favor of your ability to enjoy the rest of the story.
I hate to disclaim here, but I will. I'm saying that such mindful flexibility doesn't mean you're unsympathetic to rl victims, it means that you're a human being who needs all kinds of emotional experiences for your own well being. For your own mental health, I think those who are concerned about rl crime, can and do have enough brain plasticity to engage in a bit of escapism without guilt and rage. It's self-preservation.
I think you know why this explanation is long. The way things are, all bases have to be covered in every single comment so no one comes after a commenter with knives held high and teeth bared. I'm tired of the rabid reaction to an offering of alternative thoughts that are reasonable, but don't line up with the standard yet extremist political correctness of SJW's on the subject of rape.
On the time lapse between the rape and the riot, you have to remember that the doctor keeps Yuto in the clinic till he is completely well. It's not like rl where they patch you up and send you home to recover on your own.
My god. wtf? lol You're saying that the love scene is gratuitous???? you're talking about the love scene that the story has been building up to through the entire book, that we've all been waiting for, that is the culmination of the romantic plot?? It lines up precisely with the straight line of action of the story. That ain't gratuitous sex, my friend.
A lot of manga gets serialized in either weekly or monthly in magazines. I haven't checked if it was the case with Deadlock but ... the format and pacing of the story makes me think it's quite likely that was the case (**past tense --> I'm pretty sure the story has reached its conclusion at this point in time, based on the art style alone.** Not that it's a bad thing! I find it visually stunning and quite refreshing, seeing as most manga nowadays has been drawn in a digital format. :) )
** I just researched a little and it appears that as of December, 2019, 4 volumes have been released in the Deadlock series.
As for the manga adaptation, it appears that 4 volumes have been released so far, depicting the story of Deadlock book 1 (there are 4 titled 'Deadlock' and several others with ... slightly different titles but anyway!)
Well, I agree with the fact that the chapters are quite short. But then again; maybe it fits the format of the book? It probably just means that there are around 8-10 chapters or so per volume as opposed to the standard, 3-5 + extra? hmmm
there's nothing about the art that looks dated. Yes, it was published in a magazine first
I didn't mean to imply that it looks 'dated' - if you read the rest of my comment, you'd see that I actually find it very beautiful. :)
Nowadays, many mangaka seem to prefer digital art as opposed to non-digital art; it looks slightly 'oldschool' /classic to me - in a good, refreshing way. It was simply an observation that I thought could potentially bear witness to its... 'age' I guess? Anyway, I was clearly wrong about that!
