miyu's manga / #Traumatic Past(1)

Toumei ni Kuchizuke

Complete | Shimokura | 2000 released

It was interesting how the mangaka described the traumatic aftereffects of rape victims in such graphic detail. The guilt, shame and disgust faced in the hands of their assaulter and the unwanted physiological betrayal that may arise from their body in some cases. Though it was graphic and readers find it revolting and unnecessary it gives cause for insight on how rape victims suffer after the incident and how they handle and endure it's aftermath physically as well as psychologically. I found this aspect of the story very good. Rest of the storyline was hinted at Nishino maybe not being dead. Nishino' character development and how he dealt with Souta's situation seemed a bit rushed imo. It should have been a bit long.
