Ahaha this is amazing I can't believe I stumble upon a kuso miso technique parody in 2015 god kill me
okay i'm pretty livid rn but can i just say i don't get how people can call manga like this cute when there's blatant rape scenes. i'm sorry but honestly this really gets me upset how lightly and casually rape is treated here and in a lot of these manga. it's really fuckin gross it's honestly really sad people aren't even phased by it and just end up calling it "cute" god smh
When the Messiah series got translated, everyone was completely surprised - this was really the cutest work by Harada, but you have to read the whole thing to fully appreciate it. Harada is known for some of the most twisted, dark stories you could imagine (in one story, an uke hired a group of guys to gangbang the seme on a train, because he was too afraid to do anything, and prefers to watch from under the seme as he gets pounded. Yeah.) Note that this is merely the first part of a 3 part series. The whole story is as shown below:
*SPOILERS*
The seme was actually hired by the Uke's friend to rape then throw him away, so that the uke would be forever scarred and turn to the friend for comfort.
However, the seme had fallen for the uke during this three-part run, and by the end of the story, they had extremely hot, *consensual* sex after mutually confessing their feelings. The manga did not shy away from the fact that it *was* rape in the beginning, and was touched on and dealt with by the final chapter. (This is already translated and released today, by the way.)
I liked what the translator explained about the seme's way of speaking. He speaks in a childish, cutesy, almost schoolgirl tone in Japanese: "This is really Harada’s sweetest story! no lies! I saw everyone badmouthing mr. seme on the web but hey he’s so cute! He’s like a big whimsical kid on the outside, but a real sweetheart on the inside"
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your care to write a description and an explanation.
But I may say this as well:
Rape turned love is awful. Just to think about it in a real life context makes me sick.
But of course this isn't real life, it's a story, a BL trope. But even if it is like that we shouldn't ignore the subject and take it lightly, that's why @maki might be annoyed and even troubled by people's reactions.
I'm also troubled when girls (children, maybe) say: "OMG, soooo cute! :3" to a rape scene or a forced relationship. This is why this kind of manga is rated 18+ because these kids might know "rape is wrong" but if they haven't experienced sex or relationships, they might take this as an example, even if it looks outrageous, it is a possibility.
Fantasies are fantasies but sometimes the comments make us doubt about kids really understanding this.
Even so, I understand that you called it cute, because you are comparing it to other Harada's works (compared to Kanda Neko's works, this isn't cute at all!), but that kind of comparison only shows how messed up are the themes of her works. Ughhh. But WTH! I also liked messed up stories, although I always prefer consensual.
BTW, I really enjoyed Suimenka (≧∀≦)
i know this was kinda a silly chapt but you know lately it seems like jian yi has been pretty introspective and like the past chapter where he said he wanted to make himself stronger i'm guessing there's some kinda internal conflict? aka i'm hella ready for some feels i wanna get wrecked
ikr! im totally phsycing myself up since the last few chapters keeps on dropping hints that something's gonna happen...
that was so touching! i adored everything about this the pace was great, very heartfelt, and they were just so loving to one another. i even got teary a bit i really really loved this!
I felt that i could read it on and on and enjoy it every second. Loved it. Good read.
okay so i'm just gonna humor myself here by saying i'm pretty sure when Jian Yi said "if i-" maybe he was trying to say like "if i said i liked you would you be mad?" kinda thing idk something like that but he couldn't find the confidence or didn't want to potentially ruin the nice day since it was a really special day. Kinda reminds me back in chapter 100 when Jian Yi told the girl he envied how she had the courage to confess to the one she liked. And jesus don't even get me started on Zhan Zheng Xi's "i'll wait". basically rip me
WELL, GET BACK FROM THE DEAD CAUSE THE NEXT CHAPTER IS GONNA BE HERE SOON. THE 19 DAYS FAN COMMUNITY NEEDS YAH.
holy shit this was literally the cutest most heartwarming manga ive ever read i honestly got teary eyed when kazuaki had the dream that they were older together. they had such a loving and trusting relationship so so beautiful 100/10
okay i guess i totally didn't notice this the first time reading this but DEAR GOD LOOK AT KAEDE'S FUCKING MEATY ASS GIRAFFE NECK AND THOSE GIANT HAM HANDS. it's so damn distracting like wow look into those beautiful eyes then BAM PROPORTIONS WHAT'S THAT????
if i'll ever be able to get over this it's a cute story.
I love this comment XD but now ever since reading it, I can't go back and look at Kaede. Yaoi proportions
