Yam's manga / #toxic relationship(4)

I'd give this a 5 for its uniqueness, but because of my own rule of « -1 if there's rape », it gets a 4/5. Honestly, it's a complicated situation because the uke even says he consents afterward and was manipulating the seme. So, in the end, if I could, I'd give this a 4.5/5. What a fucked up ride.

The plot, saddly, was predictable. When the MC spent the night with the second guy in the love triangle, I could tell what the reaction of the main love interest was going to be. Which means, this story is automatically given a 2/5 (since the art is good). Although it was original for it to have « outlawed gay people », the main love interest rapes the MC MANY TIMES and then when they kind of «officially» get together, he apologizes about bullying him, like it's just been a little annoying. AS IF HE HASN'T BEEN FORCING HIM AND NOT LISTENING WHEN HE SAYS STOP AND NO!? Which makes me deduct one more star for rape. I feel like the main love interest has nothing to make me like him; yes he's cunning, but it's in a manipulative way and he shows no vulnerability, except surface level ; he never listens to the MC's limits ; they were «friends» in the past, yet the manga never shows them being actual GOOD FRIENDS and kind to one another in the past, AND the MC even keeps saying how he fucking hated him and he made his school life horrible and annoying. WE HAVE NO REASON TO ROOT FOR HIM OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THE OTHER GUY (the second choice in this dumb love triangle) IS SLOWLY TURNING INTO AN INCEL AND GETTING COCKHOLDED. :C
