The first time I read this was like 4 years ago and it was on a different site and I specifically remember people shitting on maya. Like they hated him(highschool maya to be exact) because of how inconsiderate and selfish he was plus the rape thing.
I was already there when they uploaded this and I remember there wasn't really that much of a fuss about this.
Btw, I'm not bothered about that I just remembered this fact
When the first chapter came out most yaoi manga was like that, I love that the mangaka came back to this and made maya release his mistake and apology for it.
Well, yeah he apologized, but it was still rape and it's really strange how Nemugasa developed feelings for him when literally the first two chapters are blackmailing and unconsensual sex
And sadly Yonezou-sensei, still uses this kind of dinamic in her recent works as well
You have to go further back into the comments but i don't you want to weave through all of them.
It's funny how all of this started with a very detailed and strong rape scene and no one said anything
