sharkbait's manga / #Rape(6)

I'm on the fence about this one.. Yuma (uke) is sent to scope out a Kei (seme), a famous actor's house by his childhood friend Ota. When Yuma gets caught by Kei when sneaking pictures of the actors threadbare apartment, he gets tied up, raped and blackmailed with video material of said rape. Then it turns out his shitty childhood friend set the whole thing up to get Yuma and Kei to meet as Kei was looking for a lover and Yuma happens to be his type. Of course they keep sleeping together (the whole blackmail thing) and Yuma stays friends with Ota. But like: why? Yuma actually resists everything in the beginning: he refuses to help Ota at first but gives in once Ota tells him he'll just call someone else to help him, and once Ota reveals his little plot Yuma says he doesn't ever want speak to or see either of them ever again, he's ready to cut them off but then Kei shows him the video of Yuma tied up and taking it, and Yuma ends up going along with him. He even falls in love with the prick! I mean, it's cute that after they are forcibly broken up by the manager that Kei chases after Yuma and puts his career on the line to be with him, but he is incredibly possessive and jealous, combine that with the whole rape thing and we get one seriously toxic basis for a relationship. If they had met under different circumstances maybe, but Chirst on a stick this is fucked up.
