Popo's manga / #Rape(62)

How to get him to like you: ◎ ask him out on a date ✘ date rape your straight subordinate who is extremely vulnerable cuz he's drunk and just got broken up with but made the unfortunate decision to trust and confide in you

1 star for the pretty art. Seme is smoking hot but I hate when the bad guys win DX Also, this wasn't the Lima syndrome at all.

This gon be a Ted Talk, bear with me. I see this story as 3 main acts. Act 1: A seemingly selfless and go-getter-type young teacher ends up raping a very vulnerable teen who has been abused and abandoned by his parents. Act 2: The teen takes revenge. Act 3: They live happily ever after. The story would have been perfect if it had ended at the scene where Mirai brings the scissors up to his neck after his rape. I consider this the end of Act 1. It would have been a (open-ended) tragedy and made me feel like shit but it would have been realistic for a story that had been quite realistic up to that point. (Up to that point) Unlike a majority of BL, the story was presented in a way that did not romanticize the relationship between the teacher and the student, nor did it present the rape in an alluring way. Throughout the story, there are hints that the teacher is unhinged and that his motives aren't so pure. He gets a bit of background where it seems his controlling mother contributed a lot towards his sexual repression. However, let me remind you that having a fucked up past is an explanation, not an excuse for why people do bad things. He knew exactly what he was doing and the rape was premeditated. Predators know who to target. They go for kids who are exactly like Mirai, who have no responsible adult or even any support in their lives; and who are very vulnerable and susceptible towards any amount of kindness that comes their way. Act 2 was unrealistic but satisfying if you're like me who is tired of reading so much romanticised rape and predatory relationships in BL. Mirai does not forgive him for the rape as he takes his revenge on the teacher by sexually torturing him. I think I would have at least had a positive view of this story if the story had ended at Act 2. But then Act 3 comes and ruins all the good stuff the story had at the beginning by having the characters run away together to live in cohabitional bliss (even though the teacher just caught Mirai in a vulnerable, unguarded moment imo). There was no attempt to redeem the teacher. No, I don't count Mirai's torture to be redemption. True redemption should be something the perpetrator decides he wants to do, not something that he is coerced or forced to do. And there was no rehabilitation for ANY of Mirai's trauma. A predator who presents himself as selfless and only looking out for the kids in his care ends up raping a very vulnerable kid who has been abused and abandoned by his parents. Up to this point, throughout the story there are hints that the teacher is unhinged and that his motives aren't so pure. A presented a story in a way that did not run romanticize the relationship between the teacher and the student, nor did it present the rape in an alluring way like a lot of BL tends to do.

CH mature 104 I love the themes of this story. Obsession, putting people on pedestals, gossip, power dynamics. I don't think I've ever read another BL where the one of the lead characters is obsessed with the other lead character in a "wants to be him" way rather than the usual "wants to fuck him" or "wants to be his boyfriend" way. It's something that works so well in a queer story. The dynamics wouldn't be the same if the couple were heterosexual. This really puts the story above your usual BLs.

I really don't understand. Just because seme doesn't want to bite uke, they can't be in a relationship??? They have to remain platonic boss/subordinate???? This is the only option they have????? Man, y'all so lame lol.

I fucking lost it when MC started feeling weird about raping the unresponsive eggplant man but just threw a towel over his head and continued to ride eggplant man instead of stopping XDDDDD The ending (and the pretty art) does elevate this from just being yet another bizarro niche porn. It gave me the creeps.

Dropped at ch2. Taking advantage of someone's amnesia to manipulate them into thinking that you guys are a couple and making an oblivious straight guy have gay sex with you under the premise that you are a couple is rape. And I do not like the fact that it is presented as seme's angsty thing he has to endure.

Ch87 Trigger warning: rape in ch2, omega bleeds :'( Dude, he gets raped by ML in ch2 and I'm just like, he should have just killed himself and his brother like he wanted to cuz this sucks so much worse lmao. Really graphic and violent rape in ch53-57 and then to add insult to injury, alpha confesses at the end as of that'll fix things

Ch afterword I know boy ain't serious about topping with THOSE nails?!?? Yet another beautiful historical with asshole seme and helpless, suffering uke. I will once again read it for the pretty pictures until the seme's assholery becomes unbearable.

Ch4 Art is so pretty and uke's character design is adorable but uh oh drama llama coming Ch4 uke gets gang raped as punishment from his sugar daddy for getting caught sleeping with ML
