In the later volume (forgot which one) they actually talk about the rape and Maya apologizes about it.
That's fair enough. Maybe after a palette cleanse I'll be able to get there
I respect your opinion, everyone has their own likes and dislike but just wanna share a few things that might change your mind about reading on. About the cast being to big it's mostly only in Vol. 1 that those side stories with other characters get thrown in the rest of the story really does focus on 1 couple being Maya and Nemu. Also about the characters I find that stories like these that are meant to be longer character growth and development takes time and I think the mangaka did a great job with this because they really do grow and mature as the story moves forward especially Maya. Well just thought I'd share (: of course if you don't like it you 't like it can't be helped lol
So I like to give a fair shake to stories, even ones I don't like, but I have to be honest, nothing makes me want to continue after reading Vol. 1
Quickly tossing the problematic themes of lampshading the rape with drugging, molestation, and general emotionally-dead idiocy, there's nothing compelling to pull me through to Vol. 2. The writing is so flat and just, nothing; none of the characters are well rounded enough to be invested in, most of them are stupid, the others are malicious, and that also clashes with the rather cutesy art style.
I've enjoyed this artist before, but her strong suit has always been visuals and not story, so I guess it's not surprising. I enjoy easy-going and simple stories, but the characters have to be the driving force to make it interesting. Having too large a cast will also drag it down, and Vol. 1 has well proved that.
