I think main reason not to report is that they are men and no one takes them seriously considering how old this manga is definitely guys assault not taken seriously back then especially on Asian countries, or either they feel shy to report to police and brush it off.
Good story. I enjoyed it regardless of the unhealthy relationship they have. But that mangaka assistant reminded me of something i am often contemplating over, when reading manga:
What is this in manga with people not reporting to the police when they get threatened/ assaulted/ raped? I mean, i know that victims tend to not report to the police even in real life but i haven't read it even once. And in yaoi the victim is often saved by a friend or love interest. Shouldn't that person make a report or try to at least encourage the victim to report. As far as i've seen, this is not even considered in manga (regardless of genre).
How about an uke reporting the seme who raped him and finding love with a police officer?? This is something I'd love to read. (This would be even unexpected since we are kind of used to the uke ending up with an aggressive partner, as yaoi are often themed with 'rape leads to love'.
Anyway, that's just my individual opinion. If someone knows a yaoi where the violet main character gets substituted by an executive officer, I'd glady read that XD or just a story with an unexpected change in love interest. Thanks in advance
