Quatre's manga / #rape(142)

The story between Sui (Jade) and Rio is sweet and beautiful. The backstory of Rio was truly heartbreaking. There were so many red flags even before he attacked Rio. His story made me cry. The way Sui helped heal Rio from the abuse his foster father is beautiful. I like to re-read this story, even though Rio's story always makes me cry.

Nope. This is past the point of creepy. An adult watching a kid grow up to have sex with him, then raped him... Yeah, no. No on so many levels. The art work wasn't very appealing either.

Yaoi. Interesting story plot with multiple stories. First story is about an office worker and a bento stall worker. It's pretty much mutual even though the scene looks like he's being forced. He's not though. No rape, just thigh sex. Second story is about two high school students. It's about a womanizer student who ends up being with a guy. There was forced sex/rape but at the end it seems like they are okay with each other. Third story is about two scientists researching a suppressant/cure for the pheromone syndrome problem. It looks like forced sex but it was consensual. The fourth the story is about the first couple, Sugino and Hinoki. A continuing story of them sharing their feeling while having some heavy sex. The fifth story is about two neighbors. One is gay and the other is a straight guy who was just dumped by his wife. It was a really cute story. It had nothing to do with the pheromone syndrome plot. Just two people who feel in love with each other. The 6th story is a little weird. A story about childhood friends, Fujio and Masumi. Fujio has an obsession with Masumi to the point he has multiple pictures of him all over his bedroom walls from when he was a kid to adult. He's just a tad creepy. Another story that's not part of the pheromone syndrome plot. 7th story is about Masumi and Fujio as kids growing up. Fujio is just plain creepy and gross. 8th story is an extra story about our first couple again, Sugino and Hinoki.

So the story and art are interesting, but I wasn't so keen on the rape. You could tell the kohai liked his senpai, but the senpai was too chicken to figure out the truth properly and restored to hypnosis and rape. I did like how it all worked out.

I enjoy smut like another, but again, I'm not a fan of rape. This one pushed the limit for me. I enjoyed the art, but the storyline is twisted and dark. It's a no-go for me.

It was hard to get through this one. The rape and sexual harassment was too much. Chapter 29 and 30 finally explained some stuff and was lovely, but too much rape and forcing....

There was a rape scene, but it wasn't cringy and didn't last long. Loved the story, just not that part. Personally, I don't handle them well.

It feels incomplete.... I really dislike the whole romanticized rape deal. If you put that to the side, it's a good story. I liked the art work.

It was interesting, but again romanticized rape, then romance.
