unusual's manga / #sex friends(2)

Happy Shitty Life

Ongoing | Harada | 2000 released

So... I absolutely loved the idea and the relationship between the 2 main characters it's funny, sweet, bizarre, and sexy, almost no complaints there, BUT I HATED Reo whole "thing": I didn't like the constant rape and the fact that it was made for laughs even though Kuzuya is clearly so afraid and traumatized from it. I get it, sex in this particular work is made for laughs no matter its context, but I still felt it unnecessary because the couple's dynamic was already so funny and bizarre. I never experienced sexual assault so usually, i don't mind seeing rape in Mangas I don't like it, I don't romanticize it, and I usually get bored from the manga because it is so unappealing to me and a cliche in the genre (yaoi) but the seen in the bathroom was almost triggering of how terrified Kuzuya seemed and might I remind you UNDERAGED. And yes, I am familiar with this author I know their style and that romantecized SA is a recurring theme but this was supposed to be a fluffy sweet funny manga, RAPE (let alone CHILD RAPE) doesn't fit in this kind of work. I know I wrote a lot and I may seem extremely over-sensitive but it is only because I like so many other themes in this manga; the relationship of the couple, the openness about sex and kinks, the art, the sex (I think it's beautifully drawn), the humor... it honestly saddens me that I CANNOT give this manga a better review.
