Ughhhh too much angst, but I can't stop reading.
ahhh sorry i accidentally disliked!! ╥﹏╥
I don't have a problem when rape occurs in manga. I have a problem when the rape is dealt with as something easily excusable and dismissed humorously by the characters or the progression of the story line. Rape is not a way to get someone to realize their 'affection' for you, and rape is still rape even if the other person physically felt pleasure from it. Even if the characters are cute/hot, I don't find it enjoyable to read such things.
You should probably avoid yaoi or erotica with a rape tag. In some stories, rape is a metaphor for seduction or romanticized--not because that's how we should see int in real life, but because that's the fantasy and it serves a different purpose int the story. It's cool if you don't like it, but the rape tag doesn't always mean rape as trauma. It can mean rape as another type of story element.
"Rape is not a way to get someone to realize their 'affection' for you"
This is where you are wrong, my friend. I am not excusing rape. I am talking about fantasy rape.
Let me quote this, "Rape, used as an essential plot device, serves the purpose of bringing the two characters together in a romantic relationship. Rape functions as the catalyst for romance, speeding up the process of falling in love while providing explicit sexual scenes to arouse and pleasure the viewer. Because sex is the plot in yaoi , unnecessarily long relationship developments are eliminated. However vulgar rape may seem, it effciently creates sex and romance in yaoi . Once the two characters are together and the feelings are mutual, there ceases to be a plot-based need for “rape as an expression of love” between the seme and uke and the sex thereafter is entirely consensual."

I don't plan to avoid all stories with the rape tag just because some authors choose to romanticize the action of forcefully violating someone.
The choice is yours. Just don't be upset when you end up reading some stories that you don't like.
I'm not upset, I'm just pointing at that the manga is not worth reading if others feel the same way I do about the overused rape trope. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Okay. Fair enough--there is no "romanticized rape" tag. But understand that some of us like stories with romanticized rape for various reason that have nothing to do with real life.
I'm too lazy to reread or spend energy on thinking about who Grey is. *continues to read mindlessly as usual* xD
Love the plot already. Too hilarious~~
That scene where the guy picked up the vibrator by mistake lololol
Hmm, the Seonbae might be a power bottom. Just a feeling I have hehe (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
but... he's seme
Yes. I really don't understand where this is all coming from..:P
The Raws
Unless I missed a chap even in the raws the black haired one is still seme. :3
yall have a misunderstanding, kei haruki was responding to ardenwinter, and agreeing with anonymous. Both of yall know that seonbae is a top, its the op that doesn't know. Btw I guess people just see a taller guy and assume hes the top for some reason... idk. In real life its nowhere like that, you just go for what you like better or switch haha.
Because when the top is shorter, as he entered the bottom, he can't reach to kiss the bottom at the same time. Meanwhile, if the top is taller, he can enter and kiss at the same time, and the bottom can also hug and snuggle the top like an adorable penguin.
Raws show them kissing and snuggling during n after just fine :3
I was just speculating xD
I don't really care who is the top or the bottom lol (maybe I am just hopeful for more power-bottom scenarios hahah)
Anyway, not sure why people seem a bit salty over my comment xD I guess there are some strong opinions about what a seme/uke should be like.
I like this idea of the fujoshi grandmother... Does she invite guests over for *tries to think of a yaoi comparison for milk and cookies and fails*
You get what I mean though, right? ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Hmm... The situation with his elementary-school friend is giving me the vibes of wrongness. I feel like something bad is going to happen soon >_<;
Was I the only one sitting here like, "Bite that dick, son. Save yo'self." ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
My thoughts exactly omg
Your not alone
The last little extra:
"These two are simpletons."
