I'm so broken. This was the ugliest chapter I read from any work of Nakamura sensei

I completely agree. I didn't expect this from her. After all these years, has see run out of ideas and given in to the yaoi trope?

Right? Why would she do something like that at this rate? Chiaki and Hatori had quite a bad beginning so I was always a bit reluctant about that couple, but this chapter took the award to the most abusive and unhealthy.

I couldn't agree more. I was ambiguous about many previous but here sensei really hit rock bottom. Not only was it the most impossible to excuse almost textbook example of sexual assault, but it was also completely out of the blue.

"It was out of the blue", yeah it was really like that. Like there was no reason at all for it, Takano just misunderstood what Ritsu said, the other didn't get to explain because of the raping but just some minutes before they were running and holding hands under the rain...
