To tell the truth even after re-reading the story i still don't understand the negative comments. I don't see how the uncle is the bad guy in a yaoi world. Even if we look at it from the real world viewpoint (which seems foolish sense this is a manga- a fictional work but whatever). Legally the uncle statutory raped Reo only because the kid was not at an age (base on japan's age of adulthood. In the US he is already at the age of consent- guessing sense he is a senior in HS, he was 18) to consent although he did ask the uncle to have sex with him the first time. The person i.e. Kenta, who would be charged with rape is the person who drugged Reo, therefore making Reo's judgement impaired- making him do things he would normally not do. Morally speaking the uncle did the right thing. Reo was suffering and asked the uncle to have sex with him- the uncle did not have to but he did- and afterward the uncle did not tell him about being drugged because he knew that Reo would blame himself for ending the uncle and his mother's marriage. For the rest of the time they had sex it is obvious that Reo was not truly rejecting the uncle base on how he reacted to Kenta
