I've read yaoi and fanfiction for years, where rape is commonly used as an authorial device, so one might think I was desensitized to it, but I guess not. It would be entirely different if the author and characters recognized Yahwi's actions as rape and Jooin responded to it as such -- as in, if the author's intent was to explore Jooin's reaction to being assaulted or something -- but I'm betting this will just be glossed over next chapter, no characters will see this as rape, and no harm will come from it. Maybe I'm wrong. Rape in a story is not necessarily a bad thing, assuming it isn't depicted as sexy and assuming it is present as a means to advance character development, to explore trauma, or the like. But having Yahwi rape Jooin like this, where the art depicts it is as if we are supposed to be aroused by it, is disturbing to me.
