Well, I can understand your feelings.
But, you should look well, it's clear that though Taichi tried to force it, he didn't go in in the end. He realized what he's doing and stopped after putting the tip in. Not that it made Naoto any less scared and he bled a bit and it's obviously a horrible thing to do to him, but Taichi did stop before actual rape. Taichi is pretty messed up, and I think he isn't getting enough exposure on that subject. He has serious abandonment issues, and massive insecurity and it's not something easy to fix. It doesn't excuse behaving like that, but I do feel his pain.
I recommend reading until the end, Taichi is still a bit dramatic and his issues are in the way, but the happy ending is very good =] He mans up at the end.
I read until the end of vol 1, but reading the comments saying that there's more communication i decided to drop it because it's not my cup of tea. The purpose of my comment is to give a trigger warning for the ones who don't know the manga contains rape, like i was, because it was quite shocking and triggering for me.
*more miscommunication
And sorry, but rape is rape... saying that what taichi did wasnt "actual rape" is honestly shocking. Putting "just a tip" and the victim "bleeding just a little" does NOT make it not a rape. Im asking you please do not make light on what taichi did, eventhough it's just fiction. Anw, i wrote that comment pissed as hell because that scene and the resolution in my opinion ruined a manga with great potential.
Well, you are entitled to your opinion, and I am to mine. You don't need to get angry with me.
I wasnt angry with you, i said i was "pissed as hell" when i wrote my original comment to this manga complaining abt the rape scene, nothing to do with you. As for the other thing, i was explaining to you that what taichi did /was/ rape, because you said that he "did stop before actual rape".
If the opinion you're talking about refers to the quality of the manga, then of course you are entitled to yours. But if the opinion you're talking about refers to whether taichi "actually" raped naoto or not, then i'm afraid you're incorrect, and it's best that you take that scene as what it is: an actual rape scene.
I should have read the comments that rape caught me so off guard since it wasn’t tagged (T ^ T)
Ikr, it was very triggering for me too :(
I dont understand why the author had to make taichi punch naoto then raped him? If the point is to show how they would lose control fighting over trivial things, i feel like the punch was enough considering their relationship. I can't root for taichi after that scene, especially with how shallow his apology was and how easily naoto forgave him. Anyway dropping because it stressed me the fuck out reading this.
