rainydays's manga / #Rape(24)

mare is a witch who weeds out the evil, disgusting and predatory people at her school whilst protecting her roommate. first of all: did not like all of the underage & adult sex scenes, made me super uncomfy. i feel like this plot couldve been really cool but the structure was off and worldbuilding was extremely vague, i had no idea who tf that man at the end was, and what exactly happened to mare??

jinhyuk goes to jail for scamming women, gets raped by a feminist murderer. once again, just torture porn with an actual mind break at the end. art is nice but the story was quite unpleasant.

taiyou attempts to befriend a gloomy first year who has secretly been in love with him since childhood. this kinda sucked!! i like the ml's character design but the story was not it-- i am all for yandere & first love rep but taiyou was pestered constantly by a guy who wouldnt take a 'no' in the first place, ml's hot and cold attitude was not it and the relationship at the end felt v one-sided.

yuka finds out hes an omega and is claimed by his childhood friend kaoru. taiga only wants to bond with his fated pair, but rethinks his choices when he confronts his feelings for his omega roommate, rin. feel like this is a very realistic, I mostly enjoyed it . the first couple was cute while the second was harder to stomach, as taiga was extremely unlikable throughout. rin was my favorite character, i felt a lot of sympathy for him but am happy this is ultimately a happy ending. the sa was really hard to get through, though.

izuki moves away from the city and into the mountains, and meets a lonely guardian spirit that refuses to be lonely any longer. was drawn in by the absolutely stunning cover but wow, did not expect to finish this on the verge of tears. art style is gorgeous, and minus the obligatory dub/noncon (not appreciated at all btw), this story progressed in a very melodramatic and heartfelt way. bittersweet ending but i choose to think theyre happy.

an eldest son imprisons and manipulates the father that never cared for him in his own form of obsessive love, after the death of his brother and mother. one of akabekos darker works, yes its really fucked up and weird but pretty compelling from a psychological/horror perspective, on top of great art there was interesting insight into topics like child neglect, fanaticism, manipulation, etc.

to avoid an arranged marriage, shoma enlists stranger kanata to become his fake lover. i feel like so much happened here. 1) why did the kanata have to rape shoma after he took him in? 2) why were there no repercussions for emika after she successfully raped shoma? 3) why did they have to do that pregnancy jumpscare thing? i think this manga was pretty basic in the abo sphere, though i will admit i appreciated the realistic rape aftermath here. the ending was cute and i liked the two sorting their lives out but the rape in this was very difficult to get through.

hard to read, though realistic in execution, applause to the author cause i think they captured the long lasting trauma and instability caused by csa well. sensei can go rot in hell.

wow, i dont think ive been more disappointed in a manga in a while. gorgeous art and cover drew me in and the ml being a dilf piqued my interest, but things went downhill very quickly and very tragically. legrand is basically just a child predator and groomer, who ended up getting to marry his victim and impregnating him. didnt feel like love between 'mates' at all, instead just felt like a weird obsession.

first of all: art was fab. 2nd of all: character design was fab, especially the tattoos and piercings. 3rd of all: story was simultaneously so sad yet so nice, i loved the relationship development between the two main characters, so happy they got their good ending. only complaint is that i dont see why the yakuza guy had to turn up at the hospital one last time to rape blondie, just give my man a break fr.
