i see a lot of people praising this work because it appeals to their feels or whatever, but it’s just poor writing. first of all, the seme or whatever his name is, attempted to rape the guy when he was clearly saying no, and then didn’t even take into consideration the other guy when he apparently consented. he also tried to strip him and forced him to reveal his cutting habits and eating disorder which literally caused the poor guy to attempt suicide. he then kidnaps the guy AWAY FROM MEDICAL ATTENTION and proclaims that he will try to the best of his abilities to make him better, but essentially keeps him locked away to satisfy his twisted savior complex. this is when i dropped the work because it’s poor and lazy writing and masked shallowly as true love or whatever because someone is kept against their will by someone who isn’t certified to deal with matters like those.
he should have left terrance with the insane, suicidal doctor? You're too hard on this work, and cherry-picking the insignificant, slightly attempted rape out to rant about is, face it, some thing everyone is sick of hearing about. Writing and illustrating a manga is incredibly difficult. The writing is skillful and nicely developed. The art is very good. Come on, man, lighten up a little
it's not attempted rape it's full rape. seriously this toned down version of the plot has really skewed how people view this plot and Jeff in particular. the Op is right the plot is terribly written because it romanticizes everything that happened then has jeff white knight Terry from the brink of death, when Jeff is a MAJOR contribution to it all. Big deal he's nice now he was a truly horrible person.
i read this ages ago and can't be bothered but there's an actual link in the comments that has the graphic rape and also the assault scene with the doctor. i don't blame the uploader as they likely only had access to this censored version, but because of this people have a VERY incomplete version of the story that impacts the entirety of the plot's progression and characterization.
well, okay, but aren't you a little tired of everything always being about rape. People are unromanticising and abnormalizing it if you ask me. You don't blame the uploader? Uploaders are to be thanked not forgiven. jeez.
Never has rape been in my face as much as it has lately, and I'm not talking about in the stories. I don't care if someone gets raped in a story as long as it's fiction and the story has good qualities. I don't like people denigrating a work simply because they have too much focus on rape and not enough focus on appreciating the artist, author, and because they get to read these womderful works of art. There are people working hard to bring these stories, too. I wish this aspect was the laser focus part and the rape part would sink down into and become part of the fabric of the story where it belongs.
it’s such a chill manga... i like it
