I think this manga did great in addressing the theme rape. No romanticizing of the act, just showing the facts and consequences. And even indicated that it is possible to recuperate and get over it. It is hard to read but meaningful. I have absolutly nothing agaisnt a story that presents rape like here.
The manga is pretty realistic and was very well written but.....for me, cheating is the end. That is it.
I part of me would always hate the other person even if I managed to mostly forgive the cheating and I would never trust them again. So I can't feel joyful with the end despite it being a happy one.
I do understand that the idea of the manga was to show that it is important to treat other people's feelings with respect but, honestly speaking, a woman like that should at least receive a serious written warning, pay cut, or even be fired. That kind of behaviour at a workplace is unaceptable.
Also, the tall guy didn't really do anything that he needed to apologise for. He wasn't obliged to accept her feelings. And he wasn't even offensive until she messed up with work and he called her attention as a coworker that had been hindered on his own assignement by her incompetence.
As a woman, if someone that I was paying to do a good job had slacked off like that, I would've immediately fired her. Work is not a place to do as you please. But if her male boss did that, someone may have screamed sexist. But anyway that's to realistic. Manga speaking, I just hope she apologizes to Ruri, poor baby was crying so hard and felt so bad. (/TДT)/ I used to have a mild stuttering problem (so did my uncle except I think his was worse that Ruri's) But my mother talked to him and helped him fix it a lot and mine too. Now I only stutter when super excited and my brain is going to fast for my mouth. I hope Ruri can overcome his speech impediment. My sister overcame hers (she had a lisp & slur[still does but it rarely comes out]). I'd love the seme (fgt his name) to help him do it. But seriously though, she needs to apologize, she literally bullied him. Work is not the place to go off like that. At least give her some type of penalty. ヽ(`Д´)ノ
Yuyang's 'He is the only one that looks different' kind of annoyed me. Come on, the guy clearly has good sides but he also has bad ones as everyone else. Being different or normal, special or ordinary is just a matter of how and where you are looking. We think someone is special and amazing because we valorize the specific good characteristics that that person has while someone else will look at the same person we like and think they are dull. So 'this kind of feeling you won't understand'? Who do you think you are to decide that? Do you think your love is the most special one? The only one? Get down your horse. You are not the only person that has felt 'love' on the planet, nor the only heartbroken one.
Though, I have really liked Yuyang's personality so far. Except for this one time, he is amazing. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Hahaha, I also did the same as Javii once when writing a story. It gave me a fright to find that meaning for a word that seemed so innocent. And I also eneded up changing the whole sentence. ( ̄∇ ̄")
