Not a member so can't click the thumbs up.. but I agree with what you said so thumbs up
yeah, but it felt too melodramatic to me rather than realistic. Would this what happen in realistic setting? The victim would stick there from fear of being exposed usually (it was minor, public prejudice) or really serious psychological problem. The story felt justifying them ending up together.
But it was well written indeed.
When I said realistic I meant the whole story, not just the end. The victim in the beginning, as you said, did stay with Hikaru because of fear, and he did become mentally unstable -and still is. Everyone gets different feelings from a story, but I don't think the author just tried to justify them ending together. To me the story wanted to show the process of thinking of a mentally scarred person, and how these experiences can lead him to this unhealthy relationship.
I'm glad you agree! :)
Hmm actually liked your perspective more (￣∇￣")
I think this is one of the most well written manga in this site, too bad it has such a low rating. It's a psychological manga, not a typical "end up with the rapist" romance. It's not love, it's guilt and dependance. The ending, even thought sad, is quite fitting imo. Props to the author for her realistic character development.
