Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Domestic violence(2)

Mitto mo Nai Koi

Complete | Moriyo | 2015 released

Trigger warnings: Rape, domestic violence, abusive seme Izumu-kun is a quiet college student who tends to avoid social outings. When he catches the eye of Kurokawa-senpai, the older student sweeps him into a relationship that has the lonely Izumu feeling content. That is, until senpai starts showing another side to himself. An intensely jealous and possessive side that is so extreme that Izumu is shocked to realise that Kurokawa is even jealous of the time he spends at his dead cousins grave. In a fit of jealous fury, Kurokawa goes so far as to rape Izumu on the grave of his cousin. Obviously senpai is yandere. This is a psychological story and Izumu is the one who apologises after Kurokawa hits him and abuses in any way. This is clear domestic violence, to the point others comment on his injuries. While I love a good yandere story, if they cannot protect and care for their lover even from themselves, then it’s not for me. There is NOTHING romantic about an abusive relationship. Even with senpai’s backstory, there is no justification to rape, hit, demean etc, the one you profess to love. All I see is a future of bruises and excuses.

Trigger warning; Rape, abuse (verbal & physical), domestic violence Two Omegaverse stories, loosely tied together by Nagaoka (omega) of the 1st story and his vile cheating ex Shichiku (beta), seme of the second story and all round low life scum bag. When Nagaoka finds out his ex is engaged and a cheat, he dumps him in a raging fury. Storming home his heat starts and he is saved by a kind beta stranger, Bandai. For Bandai its love at first sight, and he asks the bitter omega to move in with him. Hurt and resentful still, the surprised Nagaoka accepts, fully prepared to use the naive beta and pay his way with sex. And while he starts out like a selfish and entitled bum, Nagaoka can’t help but be wooed by the caring support of Bandai. The turn around when Nagaoka starts to realise how special Banda is was sweet, and these two just became more lovey dovey after Nagaoka opened up honestly. Now for the second story... Shichiku found himself a new omega after being dumped by Nagaoka. The young and tiny Nagisa was used for sex, hidden away in an apartment by Shichiku so that he could keep his fiancée and lover separated. When Nagisa found out about the fiancé he did not leave because he loved Shichiku too much. Hardly believing his luck, Shichiku strutted his way through his days until his fiancé left him for an alpha, then his subordinate at work (alpha) received a promotion over him and he had a public meltdown at work. Going home, he vented his anger on his tiny omega; hitting him, smacking him to the wall, raping him, verbally demeaning him.. In every way an abusive man who takes out his frustrations in life on a weaker partner. The only “good” thing that came out of it was he dumped Nagisa (the omega would have stayed, still loving the beta P.O.S). After this situation, the author had the beta hit rock bottom in life. Which, to me would be the perfect ending (other than arrest for DV and rape). But no.. he and Nagisa get back together, and the loyal support of Nagisa finally warms his shrivelled heart. Yada yada, happy ending, BS wtf.. Nagisa deserves better. Heck, pond scum would deserve better. This story was a TOTAL fail for me. All I could see was selfish prick rapist domestic abuser x victim. Where is the romance in that? Abusive partners are not ok.
