every time i revisit this manga, i can't help but think how akamine is such a fucked up guy. not just because he r*pes the main character, but also when he imagines doing the same to the guy he had a crush on. people say that was out of character for him, but i really don’t think it was. that’s what makes it so smart and disturbing. rapists aren’t always obviously evil. they can be charming, social, even empathetic. and that’s the point, the author nailed that. i know they’ve forgiven each other and they’re in a happy relationship, and i’m not trying to be moralistic or anything, but still… akamine feels like a really dark character to me but well they both know that and are adults kkk the story is really heavy, but it’s well written and the characters have a lot of depth. still love this manga and hope the author keeps creating with that unique mind of theirs.
