Ambrosia's manga / #animal characteristics(30)

60+

The art is beautiful and the couple was quite sweet by the end, but there are so many things that made me uncomfortable. First the beginning buying him and forced prostitution was definitely rape, no matter the intentions or backstory or whatever of the seme. Then bc the seme treats him with kindness (outside of the rape) the uke starts falling in love and it very much feels like Stockholm syndrome. And we find out they’ve met before and they seme had been in love with him all this time which makes the uke fall in love with him…this didn’t absolve any of the seme’s previous actions imo and it just made things creepier for me bc the seme met the uke when uke was a child. It’s framed as he was just a fan of his dancing and only fell in love much later, but still feels uncomfortable to me. And then full on furry fantasy not once but twice. They were so cute and sweet together at the end that I wish they could have gotten there more naturally and healthily, but it was quite rushed or abrupt. Last extra was cute where he’s waking up still thinking he’s a lion.
