i think the way they've portrayed shi is amazing. he was at the age where people start getting curious about sex but his internalized homophobia kept him from completely feeling in love with tamaki. he knew he was sexually and emotionally attracted to him but he just felt guilty and wrong about it. that's why he apologized to tamaki right after he masturbated.

Echo Jiro keeps doing the thing where they normalize rape and then make the receiving party act like they're feeling good. I'm actually concerned by what goes on in this person's mind?

This is pure smut and porn and Echo Jiro is a manga porn artist. This is not meant to be taken seriously. Why do you think porn directors work for porn? Is it because they want to bust a nut during filming?? It's probably because it's their way to earn money. Plus you don't know how much of a process shooting a porn film is. It's typically the same with drawing porn art, except it's longer.
AGAIN the intention of this manga is for porn and let's face it, busting a nut for some people. The way you phrased it seemed like you're kink shaming others, which sounds kinda stupid? Idk

my dude if someone has a rape kink then i AM indeed shaming them
also, i said nothing about porn at all? neither about any other mangaka. i just said that this specific mangaka keeps drawing rape and making the person being raped act like it feels good and all. you didn't have to go into detail about porn movies lmao we all know that they include consenting adults that are ACTING.

No one mentioned porn except me. What I meant was that this manga should be treated as porn (AKA not to be treated seriously). And wow, are there still people in mangago who kink shame?? No shit but kinks should be treated as they are, and no, people with rape kink don't want to be raped, but wants to pretend they are. That's why the whole concept of bdsm exists (a whole other topic so I won't bother explaining it). The whole point of the manga is to bust a fucking nut, not romanticizing rape and make it the best love story there is.
ruka: we're not lovers
also ruka: [goes and behaves like a possessive boyfriend]
I believe Ruka might be a mistranslation of Luka - like what's happened several times before with names like Levi and the guy in Hidoukou Shinade
but I didn't see anything like him behaving like a possessive boyfriend. It seemed the opposite to me
not possessive in the physical sense, but more in a broader sense. he didn't know about the other dude's mother's condition and that's completely alright maybe he wanted to keep it from him, it's his personal matter. ruka just burst out when he heard about it as if he Must know everything that goes on in his life, despite him claiming that they're not lovers. kinda odd
Idk tho, Ruka is a legit Japanese name, there's a dude on the Japanese reality TV show Terrace House called Ruka and he's incredibly handsome/pretty
you could be right. imagine me having to go back and change all those L's. lol
I got the impression that Luka pretty much doesn't know anything. I could be wrong... but it seems like if Taisei is only coming over once a month to f*** Luka might be missing a few lil details. LOL.
