He doesn't really show interest in physical stuff, is constantly blushing & getting flustered when the topic of kissing is brought up,... That scene in Kouhei's bedroom when Kouhei goes too fast really showed the difference between them, I feel like at this point he's just forcing himself to please Kouhei.
Asexuality has nothing to do with being nervous about or liking sex. Some asexuals enjoy sex. There's nothing that suggests Taichi is asexual. Simply nervous about sex. Kohei liked him first, and he's more straightforward about his feelings. When it comes to feelings, even with simply their romantic relationship, Taichi has been shown to be easily flustered. I didn't really think Taichi was forcing himself to please Kohei, either. So yeah, no evidence whatsoever that Taichi is asexual. Just shy when it comes to intimacy. Coming from an ace person. Asexuality is all about sexual attraction, not about nervousness when it comes to sex.
I'm grey ace myself, hence my comment. I guess we have different takes on this but I do feel like he's sort of playing along as opposed to having an actual interest in dating Kouhei.
Wow, in dating Kouhei in general?
Yeah, he doesn't seem to see them as more than friends really? It all seems very platonic.
That second chapter... Usually I'm all for toxic & dysfunctional relationships being portrayed in yaoi AS LONG AS it's done properly aka showing the impact on the victim and not trying to pretend like the rape is really consensual. Here the teacher clearly raped the kid, who did not ONCE consent to what was happening, yet he's shown enjoying it somewhat at the end? And then we get a few panels of him being off until the teacher comes back and then he's all happy again? That's just disguising rape and yaoi has a serious problem with that.
That's the thing, though. The uke legit goes "maybe it feels good???" and it's messed up. He was basically being raped and he had no idea. The teacher is taking advantage of him.
That's why the last chapter is just so messed up.
The uke just has no idea and thinks its normal
Rape? They grew up together and the teacher is like a junior in college while the other kid is a 1st year in high school. Hajime said he liked Souta too. It’s normal for someone to be scared and nervous their first time. There was no force. At worst you acan call him a dog if he doesn’t really like Hajime, and was just looking to get laid.
I really hope you're kidding lol
The kid was still in school, meaning he was underage. The "teacher" threatened him with stuff like "the kids'll hear" and "the kids'll see" to force the kid into sex. If that's normal for you, then there's definitely something wrong.
And he was just leading him the entire time, not even asking if it was okay?? He didn't even prepare him?? He just shoved his dick up his ass?? Like?? That's not how you're supposed to do it??
And the "it-it hurts, but... maybe it feels good???" doesn't make it any better. He's confused as hell.
Also, the teacher asks him if it feels good and the kid doesnt answer, but the teacher still goes "yeah it feels good for me too"
Lastly, he friggin leaves him after having slept with him. Love??? Love my ass. He just used him.
If this isn't rape for you, then idk what is
Nope. You’ve never had a guy use “I love you” to get into your pants? Ever even been on a date? Lol.
Yeah well, just tell them to fuck off
Plus in this case, he just forces himself unto the kid. If anyone does that to you, then that's not okay. Sex is supposed to be completely consensual
I'd never sleep with someone that tells me they "love me" when its clearly to 'get in my pants'. Only person I'd sleep with is one I completely trust and actually love
:/
Get back to me in 20yrs and let me know how that strategy worked for you.
:/
I'm not really desperate to get laid lol
Given your other replies, you're old enough to know that growing up together doesn't stop a rapist from being that??? There are parents that rape their child, cousins that molest and rape their cousins and so.
Also, you're mixing things up. This is one of those typical BLs where one dude rape another because ~he loves him so much he couldn't hold up~, it had nothing to do with guys lying they love you to get into your pants but quite the contrary. It romanticize rape. So of course in the end it will give you the "message" that, deep down, he really wanted it
^
thank you!
Couldn't have said it better
Nope, Mr. Dog didn’t give off the feeling “I love you and can help myself due to this burning, and all consuming passion” He’s manipulating, and toying with the kid. If she did a continuation set 5 yrs from now, the kid would be dumped or constantly cheated on. Still it’s a negatory to to rape allegations
Agreed （￣へ￣）
I hate the Yaoi rape trope,, also the uke crying and yelling it hurts and to stop, while the semei says "it doesn't hurt,," while continuing on with the rape.
Makes me think that Mangaka's are delusional about homo sex(many Mangaka are lesbians).
In this day and age you'd think that they'd have a better handle on how gay love really works. They seem to think ass rape is part of the whole "homosexual love" thing but they don't seem to believe that Homosexual relationships can be exactly like Heterosexual ones. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Yay! I just KNEW it was her artstyle when I saw that cover!
She has such a great sense for storytelling, plot building and pacing! This is a future masterpiece, as are all her doujins!!
I can conceive that Tago is awkward and maybe hasn't had the typical 'teenager' experience so he doesn't have the right social cues, but this is really messed up. I thought chapter 2 was shocking, between him aggressively groping Ogi and pushing porn on him... It's so jarring it reminded me of my own experiences with pushy, abusive people who tried to talk me into having sex, and that's exactly what it felt like here.
I hate that the mangaka showed Ogi as fucking apologies as if any of this was his fault. These tropes of 'he tried to sexually assault me but somehow I'm the one at fault for not yielding' need to go already. And same thing for the bullshit she/he pulled with Kanako. Girls as plot devices, how progressive.
It probably won’t go away anytime soon because that’s the Japanese mentality...the women there are taught to believe that they are also half responsible for their assaults and harassment and so as a Japanese woman is writing it, she’s gonna think that way. Women are still treated very poorly there, like the 60s in America. Sexual assault, harassment, and stalking are very very bad and frequent there but it’s severely under reported because the cops don’t take them seriously even when they do report it and often shame and blame them so that they recant and no official report gets made. There are lots of documentaries about it and articles, about the stalking epidemic and the staggering sexual assault rates. The Japanese mentality is still very much “watch what you wear or you’re complicit, if you talk back to these men (even just telling them to go away) you are encouraging the behavior by responding to it”. It’s super messed up but a lot of women think that it’s also their responsibility when really it’s not. So often they write sexual assault as either endearing or a mutual mistake when...it’s not.
