honestly im not really a fan of how the conversation between them two went down in this chapter
after mostly skipping through several chapters of violent rape and contemplating dropping the series, i expected a better conclusion to the situation to make up for the bad taste the assault left me with
idk i just feel like the author used the rape plot as premise to make them quickly patch things up and make them "stay together" - which is a real shame because imo it took away a lot from their relationship dynamic
s2 has been really ugh ngl i really hope it picks up from here

i found chap 1 raw -> https://comic.pixiv.net/works/9462
it's the whole chapter but pixiv will reduce it to a preview after some time so read while you can :D

the only thing i hate about this is the way the author tried to make us sympathize for the abuser by adding the scene with his kid and him apologizing... what even was the point?
i'm not gonna feel bad for someone who is abusive just because they're a parent, what kind of logic was that?? and to boot the abuser didn't even apologize to hiro himself, like what did him apologizing to his kid even accomplish for the people he previously abused?
idk just really ticked me off that the author gave the abuser a "tragic" backstory to downplay his actions. the whole him and his wife were cheating on each other, then divorced, then fought over the custody of the kid and that was the cause of his stress well SO WHAT? lots of people go through even worse things in life and don't take it out on others by abusing them
yeah i hate how the abuser didn't face any consequences for doing all that despite them having legally compelling evidence and a lawyer ._.

feel super bad for Yachiyo... touji rejects him for being a man but ends up dating a man later on in life ._.
and how tf will the author make this work out since one of them is married to a woman and the other one has a boyfriend .-. also feeling bad for their partners cause neither one of them is in love with their respective partner *sigh*

Hi, it is not shown in this chapter as this is the "background story" chapter. In the next chapter we see Touji dating a man named Kyoto. The story takes places a few years after Yachiyo's wedding when they meet again at a funeral.
I don't know until what extent they end up hurting their partners and themselves because I can't understand the dialogue in the raws
mc so brave for taking it raw from Mr. STD central himself
RIGHT? HAHAHA
