Mitto mo Nai Koi
Nii-chan (harada)
This gets 5 stars because the author had a vision of what they wanted, and they executed that vision. Personally, I read this more as a psychological thriller/ drama, rather than a romance. The whole story revolves around pedophilia and I don't care who you are or what culture you're from its not ok to rape a child. So just know that going it and enjoy a thought-provoking thriller. Don't try to romanticize it, because you just can't.
Kansai Jin to Hukumen Satsujinki
Me wo Tojite Yume wo Miru
A dark drama depicting the horrors of child prostitution. while there are smut scenes, none of them feel sexy. They all feel you are watching something horrible, which is the intended effect. The relationship between the older man and the high school student is complicated to me. And I feel it was represented in a complex way. This is a good read, worth your time.
