late reply; but this work isn’t using rape as a plot device, i believe it was created for those who have a sleeping fetish, hope that explains. sadly this is just a rape fetish work by a real good artist. it’s a shame, but they’re not using it as a plot device they’re just straight up making rape because it’s a fetish for people
the thing is ive checked out the jap raws to see how the story went
the story wasn't really about somnophilia/pseudo(??)-somnophilia
sexual intercourse which counted as rape only happened in the first chapter alone (as far as i can remember) the rest was consensual so i thought rape here can be counted as a plot device
maybe it can? but the cover of the manga is kinda sus and on here it’s tagged as somno, so i’m assuming it’s just to appeal to people who like that. but i guess if you’ve seen the raws and it keeps going maybe it was just a plot device, either way i just assumed this person wrote those rape scenes cuz they liked them
great, art, poor writing
i thought we're over using rape as a plot device
