Never cook again

this shit goes on for 19 volumes even though the plot literally finished midway, leaving half of it just being the same loop of somebody getting kidnapped, molested and then saved again. the sa is used purely as shock value. victims of sa (ash and yut lung specifically) are treated like garbage by the narrative--- being constantly fetishized for their exotic beauty and constantly reminding the readers that they are irrevocably tainted for being victims. yoshida does all of this to contrast to eiji's "purity," and her end message is that love is only good if it is not sexual, not intimate and not overt. she has this freaky idea of innocence and purity that gets dragged on and on and on.

every openly gay character in this is a pedophile. every woman in this gets raped or killed off instantly. all the characters get no development and exist either to provide strange fetishistic commentary on the seductiveness of ash (indirectly victim blaming him) and to add drama to the plot. ash has the most ridiculous amount of plot armour ever. hes beautiful and delicate but super strong and can fight 10 men at once and he never recieved a formal education but hes a genius with an iq of 200 and his only flaw is that everybody wants to rape him and he's too kind for his own good--- are you fucking serious??? you call that good character writing???
