Hey.
You need to learn how to separate fiction and reality.. There’s a ton of cliches in this story, that of course would never happen in real life, so why are you treating like it’s an actual story being told? This story isn’t disgusting, you’re just too quick to judge. Try and be more open minded, because it’s just using a cliche, not actual dark fetishes are being shown in it.
Hey, I agree with you, this manga is fucked up, but you'd have to be quite not good in the head to actually start normalizing whatever happens here. You'd have to have zero contact with the outside world and zero moral formation growing up to even think this is somewhat ok.
What I think the first commenter was trying to say is that manga has created a "world" for itself, where our real world's values (and many other things) don't really work the same way, so you can enjoy this kinda thing without necessarily being fucked in the head irl lol. That is, as long as you understand what's happening there is actually unacceptable in the real world.
I know people get up in arms about this stuff, and while I do agree that we need to separate fiction from reality, I don't think it's wrong to criticize something that's being perpetuated in our society. I hate rape-to-love or rape being used in a comedic sense, but I'm mostly numb to it now. However, it's a valid feeling to be disgusted by something as awful as rape being treated as lighthearted or romantic.
I just don't think it's as black and white as people try to make it. Just because someone is criticizing a trope doesn't mean they don't understand the story is fiction. So I get what you're saying, OP. I don't think it's immoral to like this sort of thing, because it IS fiction, but I hate the trope so much, and it's definitely reflective of a "no means yes" culture in fiction and real life.

This author has 2 work on this website and both stories are fucked up. Like this is literally rape and manipulation but it’s ok because the uke loves the sex and is starting to fall in love with his rapist because wow,,, SEX ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
The story is disgusting. I love yaoi but I got morals.
