Nicholas Hale's manga / #rape(20)

The comment section is once again flooded with complaints about this manga being 'horrible, sick and gross' merely because it has rape in it, when that's not the point of the story. To all similar complaints, I'll have you know that there's nothing wrong for a story to contain rape. Movies contain rape scenes as well - it is just an aspect of the story. It's not as if the manga is promoting sexual abuse. It's simply something that happened between two characters - a conflict. The manga doesn't say that rape is good either, so I don't see what there is to complain about. It was a good manga.

You're my Loveprize in Viewfinder. - Starring Asami, the only man I would bottom for.

Erm, okay. I won't give a rating on this one simply because I don't want to ruin it's good rating on behalf of my own selfish opinions, but I wouldn't have given this good ratings. Why? Here's the thing. I've always been arguing AGAINST the fujoshi's that were so sensitive to rape, but this manga here has a reason to be argued against. This manga's core plot are the rape scenes, and the rape scenes drawn here (in my opinion) looked as if they were meant to be sexy. In other words, it was portraying the rape scene as something neutral if not positive. In other yaoi mangas, I would always find it strange when people got mad because the story contained a rape scene. There's nothing wrong for a manga to contain a rape scene - UNLESS, the manga is portraying the rape scene in a positive or neutral light, thus encouraging it. In other yaoi mangas, rape scenes would be considered as something heart wrenching or tense - a conflict in a relationship or misunderstanding. This manga.. I don't know. It COULD technically be considered just another aspect of its story, but I felt that the rape scenes were the core of the story and that the manga truly tried to make it sexy, and tried to make the victim alluring. I was very slightly disturbed by it, but... I don't know. Ya'll have your own opinions. This was just my view on it.
