It's rape not romance

This will always hold a special place in my heart as my first yaoi (at 11 years old, yikes), so much so that I recently snagged the first 3 english volumes when I found them at a discount store.

But reading back now .......I still enjoy it, but I think it's nostalgia. It's just rape. So much rape. It's not hot or cute or romantic. It's disturbing. I can't root for them because Morinaga is an insufferable, obsessed rapist. Literally assaulting the person he "loves" in their sleep.

I miss the butterflies this gave me, but after more than a decade, I can't understand how this is supposed to be romantic. It'll always be special to me, but I'm glad there's better yaoi manga these days. Sort of.

P.s. don't give 11yr olds phones lol
