Escape Journey
Reading this again many years after the first time and the rape scene really caught me off guard. While I understand it is a plot device, it was never talked about again outside of a nonchalant apology. Rape is very normalized is yaoi and it does not need to be. A character can have be angry and going through things emotionally without sexually assaulting their partner.all the yaois i've read to this day, rape never bothered me. Because it's fictional and sometimes its about kinks and stuff and not real so idc in the end, however this manga really felt like a real life story and living the things that nao lived is unforgivable. In the end it felt like author tried to justify the rape... He slapped him and than raped him and nothing happened as if it's a natural occurrance.Honestly rly disliked the story cuz of Hase He like couldn't for the life of him communicate his feelings and took it out on mc And proceeded to r@pe him like wtf that was horrible couldnt care about Hase after that like he made it seem like him r@ping mc was both of their faults and not entirely his own fucking problems gross horrible character legit the definition of abusive relationship. Hase is a manipulative narcissistic r@pist and doesnr deserve MC Feel bad for mc and black haired guy i want a story where they get together like they were rly cute and black haired guy is honestly so adorable and sweet he deserves the world
