Yuri's manga / #rape(70)

Don't stay with your abuser and don't sleep with your brother as replacement for said abuser. Use needs therapy and actual love and care instead of the toxic ass environments he's put in, both at his family home and at his "lover's". I didnt think I'd be saying this ever, but istg I would have been much happier if he ended up with his brother...

Scary as fuck

I'm crying, someone save those kids from that sick fuck omg

I don't care about the uke sleeping around- we don't slut shame around here, babes. I DO however, care that the seme literally raped him and all the other guys who have been shown to have sexual relations with the uke either (a) tricked him into smexy time or (b) coercing him into smexy time when he was very clearly going through it The entire manga is presented in a way to shame those who sleep around e.g. the girl that the seme's bro brought. And it is quite clear that so many are willing to listen to this stupid ass narrative given that so many in the comments were agreeing with slut shaming the uke regardless of the fact he was forced for pretty much all the of those times. The backstory of the uke felt quite weak as well - it wasn't the kind of thing that really draws the reader's empathy bc it honestly didn't even seem like much. Don't touch stuff that stains easily with choco covered hands? Makes perfect sense, actually. It just felt like the author was trying to excuse the fact that they are calling someone who sleeps around 'dirty' with some half-ass bullshit outta nowhere. Ppl are gonna sleep with loads of different ppl throughout their lifetime. Deal with it and move on (anyone who can't is honestly just immature and needs to grow tf up). The art was pretty, but the plot was not (in the worst possible way).

I have a theory - what if sheep mask thought the guy who first slipped into his bed was the protag, when it wasn't? We know that bed scene is the first full-on sexual assault the guy received (it was heavily implied), but we can see that THAT guy has a mole at the corner of his mouth, one that the protag doesn't have (as shown in the literal next panel, where he was in his own bed). The protag also showed varying levels of disgust for the act of homosexuality and in this case, it was most definitely not the homoerotic-kinda-gay kind. In other words, there is no fucking way he touched the sheep-face with sexual intent (at least not to the point were he came etc.) I do, however, believe he had apart in the bullying of sheep-face; that much is obvious. His comments, the way he continuously puts the other down and the blatant disregard and belittlement of the other's suffering. I feel that this theory would make the most sense. One can very easily forget the things they say and some things they do. I doubt anyone can remember all the horrible things they've said to other people, but there is often a limit to what ppl can and can't remember. Some shitface would probably say that the protag is the kind who can't remember the continuous rape of someone they partook in. I would like to say that that may be possible, but very unlikely. If that were the case, the author would've very clearly shown the protag raping the guy. But we don't get that - despite being shown stuff that happened to the guy, it's quite unclear in regards to what the protag did apart from severely humiliate him. I would also like to end this review/analysis with an important message. Never say that someone deserves to be raped. Every time I come across someone who says that, it feels like someone is trampling all over my own experiences with abuse. It isn't even clear that the protag did the same things sheep-face did to him. It was VERY ambiguous and either way, I still feel like that isn't something you should wish unto someone. The story made me horrified, but the translator comments made me uncomfortable. At least with the story I can appreciate the art and interesting plotline - it made me want find out what happens next after each chapter and the ending did feel somewhat fulfilling and satisfactory. The best ending would've been to see sheep-face heal ig (and legal action against those who raped him). Revenge will never help (trust me, I've tried), even if sheep-face killed the guy, he wouldn't have found peace. I know of a really good revenge manga (not bl, no rape for those where that is tigger point) where the guy effectively gets revenge AND he heals, but I can't think of it off the top of my head (dm me if you really want it). Thanks for reading till the end~ Ignore any grammar and spelling mistakes, it's one in the morning and I have a 9 am tmr
