Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #rape(96)

Non biological brothers Jin and Souji don’t have the best relationship. Souji is adopted and 3 years older than Jin. He tries hard to be the perfect son but after his younger brother Jin rapes him, he moves out from home. Jin has always wanted Souji to notice him. He pranks and kisses and teases his brother, then one day he forces him sexually and is enthralled by his crying face. Jin refuses to let Souji evade him and is relentless in his pursuit, especially once he realises he loves his brother. While I like an obsessive lover, it’s hard to look past Jin’s selfishnes and the rape. I prefer my obsessed and intense guys to value the one they want, even if they are the sadist to a masochist partner.

Not into rapists. I didn’t like the student prez getting off to some random old guy on the train and then the younger student raping him (for his first time too) then on top of that the prez wanted the rapist to be his manservant? I can’t be assed with that much stupid and didn’t finish.

Falling in love in an abusive relationship is a big no for me. Fair enough if you love pain, but that needs to be consensual and with a partner in control. Fair enough to have an obsessed partner dominate you in bed. But hitting because of a sleep uttered name is a nasty, flashing warning and not hot. Nothing sexy or erotic about domestic violence.

Pure smut oneshot. Losing a fight to this crazy apex delinquent means getting fucked up in more ways than one. There is zero affection between these guys, some grudging respect for fighting skills and a thug uke who demands that he gets pounded, hard.

This beautiful story dealt respectfully with a traumatic event perpetrated by filthy, entitled scum and didn’t shy from the emotional wounds left on the victim. That being said, this was a story of true love and kind people, with an alpha who adores and protects his omega, a vulnerable omega with a lot of love to give, and adorable little children to melt your heart. Such a sweet story, you will be wanting to read it again and again.

Not the most likeable characters but interesting stories. A little too much focus on the rapist cross dresser in the first story for my liking, and the second was rape with a minor. The twist gave it some redemption but it was still not my kind of preference to read. Interesting to see sounding play but it was forced so it was overall a disappointment.

Trigger warning: Gang rape From an orphanage to soldiers in war, these guys were not on life’s easy street. In love with his older “brother” at the orphanage, Raven left first, determined to never hurt Amber. But sometimes you cannot save the one you love, so when the chance comes to die together, you better make the most of those moments.

Trigger warning: rape (not the lover). This was a different story set in the Omegaverse. One where the omega (Kei) is bitten and marked by a self absorbed and self important alpha (Ekihito) but he chooses to not stay with the alpha, but rather his childhood best friend Tsugitsugu (beta). It’s sad because Kei was a naive romantic who wanted to be swept off his feet by a kind, gentle, rich and handsome alpha. Ekihito was rich and handsome, but he also had a colossal ego and he only wanted to mark and bind enough omegas as mates that could breed him over 100 offspring. When he forced himself on Kei during a heat, the poor omega was already at his lowest point, having driven his friend from his side. The rape was heartbreaking and the bite life changing because now his body would reject all others. The silver lining on the stormy cloud of this story was the determination of Kei and Tsugitsugu to be together as a loving couple despite everything. It was really sweet that they got a HEA.

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: Multiple rape An interesting concept with the Enigma class and the abilities it has. There was a lot I liked about this story, mostly it was Tsukasa who was a really good and decent guy. That’s probably why he just forgives Amamiya after he learns everything. But I can’t relate to letting go of the horrible rapes and using his power on him. For what? Revenge for being forgotten? Overkill much? That’s why, for me, despite the self hate and taking an injury by Amimiya, I just feel bleh about the relationship. I am just not as forgiving of the multiple rapes and attempted ruination of Tsukasa’s life.
