oh my god i did not expect to hate this so much. tsurugi was a piece of shit for raping him, but he wasn’t beyond saving in that he regretted everything and knew that staying away from kiyou was best for him. however, kiyou just had to come around and forgive him for everything

i can usually “get past” rape themes in yaoi but omg i hated this one. the seme is an absolute asshole and i feel so bad for maki. maki is stressed from work, feels guilty about all of the people he’s fired (even though it’s really the higher ups decision), bears the burden of trying to make amends with the people he’s fired, and then he gets raped by the masseur who was supposed to heal his aching hip. not only that, but he’s blackmailed by the massage therapist and is raped over and over again by him, all while still feeling guilty and bad for the seme because he fired the seme’s dad. what the fuck. maki deserves better.
