Lauvil's manga / #Childhood Friends(46)

I liked the angst. The gangrape scene was super heartwrenching, which I both love and hate. I just really didn't like that the seme thought the right "cure" for his trauma, was to have sex. On. The. Very. Next. Day. No, sir. This cliché of "lets overwrite your rape-trauma by having sex" is so toxic and misguided. What Maki needs is to see a therapist. Not only to cope with his trauma, but also his self-esteem issues. Neither party benefits from the savior-victim dynamic that's going on in their relationship.

Classic "childhood friends are in love with each other." Classic misunderstanding because neither party can be honest with the other. Classic "I'm going to attempt to rape you, because I'm in love with you." You know, a confession is just not as cute when it comes right after a rape attempt... In conclusion: This story sucked.

First story: I liked this one. The drama was a bit cliché and the story was kinda short (but that's to be expected of a short story). Daisuke was such a sweetheart, though (and such a hunk). It was really cute! Second story: Well, that escalated quickly. It was still cute, though.
