It's unrealistic for senpai, a straight homophobe to fall in love with his rapist. This story was doomed from the beggining. Idk, Morinaga is a manipulator and rapist and senpai is an abuser.
She knows that this is her best selling work so she wants to stretch it out and get her coin until sis retired lmaooo. I suggest reading better stories with the same dynamic if that’s your thing.
I mean I feel you but Morinaga left after he raped senpai so if senpai really wanted nothing with him he could have just let him go and that would have ended it.
also by volume 3 senpai is initiating so by then it's deffo not rape.
I get your point but by volume 10 he was in love, whether it was realistic or not that's what 10 volumes of story were for, and it was satisfying. And now he's just in denial again. That's my issue, the backtracking and wasted development.
I agree with you about that, its like reading the same chapter over and over because there is literally zero character development.
The frustrating part about this manga is that senpai acknowledged his feelings or whatever all the way back in volume 10/11 and he promised to try.
Now he's just back at square one and it's not funny. It took away 10 volumes of development. The story is not only progressing but moving backwards.
I really like this, it's my first bl I remember to love and adore but it's just not aging well because the author refuses to write beyond her trope.
This is the same problem with love is an ilussion, at some point the tsundere trope stops being cute and starts getting annoying specially if the other guy is trying a lot.
