Lauvil's manga / #Noncon(71)

Uke came out to his best friend in Middle school but ended up getting severely hurt, when his friend called him "disgusting" and outed him to the whole school, resulting in him being bullied and isolated. In high school he's completely withdrawn into his shell and stays away from other people, in fear of getting hurt. A playboy from his class then learns about his being gay, and threatenes the uke into becoming his "sex friend" in return for his silence. Thus begins a cycle of rape and blackmail, that then, some fucking how, turns into love. You can't even call it a psychological story, because it has a "happy" ending with rapist and victim being in a "loving" relationship. Romantisized rape is just uncomfortable...

I'm not a big fan of omegaverse stories, exactly because they only seem to give perpetrators a reasonable excuse to rape and get away with it. Or for the uke's in the stories to be treated more as women, with all the discrimination that comes with it. I love kagehina, though. And the agony, fear and self-blame that Kageyama suffers after he forces Hinata, and Hinata's strong mentality that allows him to forgive him, is just what I would expect from the pair, if they lived in an omegaverse. I just really don't like omegaverse...! So, 2 stars. All of them are for the well drawn Kagehina.
