Same thoughts, this could be so good
This is the best dark comedy I have ever read... How yoshi is raped is shown in a comic way but you cannot single out the creepyness the helplessness of the victim... How how toxic Reo is
Rape has no comedic value.
Exactly! And that's what Harada sensei showed us... Its a comedy,,, but do you feel like giggling in the rape scenes NO!
Sensei truly has his way with art and writing hats off!
You just said it's "dark comedy" though. So is it comedy or not in your mind?
The rape brings nothing in this story.
Do you even understand what dark humor is?
I donno why when i read that scene i felt like that the author had two personalities and he was talking to himself...
Yes. And this isn't it. Rape and "humor" don't go together no matter if it's dark or not.
Yeah it's actually more sad than funny if the author is really talking that creuly to himself
No, you don't and you're too lazy to even check on Wikipedia things that you know nothing about "Black comedy, also known as black humor, dark humor, dark comedy, morbid humor, or gallows humor, is a style of comedy that makes light of subject matter that is generally considered taboo, particularly subjects that are normally considered serious or painful to discuss. Writers and comedians often use it as a tool for exploring vulgar issues by provoking discomfort, serious thought, and amusement for their audience. Thus, in fiction, for example, the term black comedy can also refer to a genre in which dark humor is a core component. Popular themes of the genre include death, violence, discrimination, disease, and human sexuality."
So what you said and what it is portrayed do you see any difference? The author is showing how vulgar a society can be... And rape is a problem in society not just to women but for men also ( ignored subject)... I guess its not about laziness but about not observing what happening around you.
I think for them (commenter) the problem is that they don't understand how dark humor works, they are probably aware of the problem (rape) itself?
Funny how you read this definition and still didn't realise it doesn't apply to this manga.
Funny how you still think that you are right
That's because I am.
I don't understand all the positive comments about how this is so different from other Harada's works? Sure, the relationship between the two main characters is good and all but are we going to ignore how Yoshiki's rape is played just for laughs?
This isn't a quirky thing, it's just as fucked up as anything's Harada's ever created. The story would have been really funny without that element but the author just had to put that in there huh.
