The seme did rape the uke when they were stuck together. Tsugumi literally says « I don’t want this » and the seme says « well too late » LMAO. And it’s the same rapey philosophy as the other yaois with the uke saying afterwards that he didn’t hate it. Idk this isn’t as progressive as it portrays itself… Megumi even admits he wouldn’t have been interested in Tsugumi in the first place so it does kinda feel like it was his pheromones and the fact that they fucked that bought them together. Though feelings were developed later on it didn’t feel as though they shared a special connection. Tsugumi even says that Megumi is the first one that liked him and he liked in return. Moreover the side characters aside from the parents and the little sister are kinda flat. (They’re my favourite)
Introducing the childhood crush just to have Tsugumi be jealous was totally a mistake. If the author was that bored they should’ve wrote some side couples or expanded on Tsugumi’s parents (though it’s the exact same dynamic).
