But what makes this story different is that is RECOGNIZES, ACKNOWLAGES, and LEARN FROM the rape. The circumstances are different too, hiro made his own decision to forgive taka. Yes, taka raped hiro. But considering that halfway through, hiro liked it and relaized he loved him, it was up to him at that point to forgive the rape or not. It's not as if taka raped a random dude on the street either, and it's not like hiro hated the idea of having sex with taka, he just was surprised and not ready. To him, it was unforgivable, but he was willing to look past it. I would too honestly, hell, even my parents have. It was rape, yes, but the characters acknowaldged that it was rape when most yaois don't, and repeat how awful it was for taka to do that. Even more, taka was very very apologetic and felt horrible about what he did, and he ended up learning and being more weary in the future. Their second time doing it he made sure to ask consent along the way. Whats bad is when yaoi romaticizes rape. This manga takes it for what it is. Never once was it implied that the rape was ok. Hiro even said that raping him was absolutley unforgivable, but he was in love with taka, and would like to be with him. I also think taka is a very interesting character. It was a bold choice and a good one to have him not be able to properly convey his feelings when hiro first confessed. i really enjoyed this :)
