Definitely not at all necessary for that scene. Making a person rape their lover should always be avoided, unless you want to tell a toxic and abusive love story.
Maybe it was necessary for the author? I didn't liked it, but I just want the story to end happy.
I gotta say- Mike consented to it regardless of what the scene looked like. So technically it ISN'T rape. Morally I guess it would seem wrong but in general it isn't rape at all.
Dude, he never consented to it. He forcefully entered him even though he said not to while the person was hurting and limb. Of course, it's just a fucking manga, so it was made not to be a big deal, but he was obviously raped by his partner. Forgiving afterwards and petting someone while already being penetrated against one's will is not consent, lmao. By law, that was 100% rape.
I swear he consented to it. I gotta go read it again. I was probably wrong.
nevermind, you're right.
The rape scene was not cool for me, but it was necessary for that scene, I guess? Because the seme was really stressed and messed up that time that he ended up venting it to the uke. But the uke chose to understand him and well, it ended with them happy.
