kinda hate how the artist omitted the probably most important part of ukishima's and makabe's first meeting -> clear consent. i've read so much shitty yaoi that my head filled in the blanks between "you don't want it? go ahead and resist" and them being shown right in the middle of fucking with some quite ugly scenarios.
i think the submission, deliberate vulnerability, and maybe unspoken consent(?) is supposed to be implied through ukishima's behavior prior to them fucking (his obvious arousal, his passiveness, plus the fact that he's a little messed up and went out to "get wrecked"), but implicit consent doesn't always cut it... a simple panel of ukishima opening his pants by himself or letting go of makabe's hand to give him a go ahead would have been enough :/ iffy
when it looked like the top was gonna "eat" (rape) the bottom in chapter 1 i was pleasantly surprised that he stopped on his own account and didn't. the way i thought it would go well from there............ it just went downhill instead
