so when that white fox met the uke, it is understood he raped him and that became a scandal in the school. went downhill for me from there bc it followed the typical plot line of rape being used as a trauma for the uke, when it adds nothing to the plotline 99% of the time. and also the seme raped him again, which is wow. cant believe the idiots who rated this a 9
and interesting how it's always the uke aka the one with the "woman's" role who's subjected to rape
Yeah there's a lot of academic discourse actually about the sexual violence present in a tom of BL, usually inflicted on the perceived "woman" or bottom despite being written by a largely female base. (Lots of ppl look at it as a way to process trauma and general violence against women without actually subjecting a woman figure to the violence, whether i agree or not though idk.) Lately though, I think there has been a lot more diversity in the represented gay relationships :D ukes not being overly feminized and power bottoms and switch couples, even having alphas in omegaverse yaoi be bottoms.

flat characters, esp the female mc. she has no personality except overreacting in every situation. she has 3 fixed reactions - 1. eyes as big as saucers and no expression on her face (her default mode), 2. eyes close with sweat on her face bc she's anxious (and she's anxious a LOT) 3. scared out of her wits bc something something "My BL obsession got found out"
2/5
the manga is essentially about 2 dudes killing other human beings and falling in love w one another in the process. That's it. there is no "deep meaning" in the manga and the many philosophical dialogues were completely unnecessary. they made it quite a chore to finish this manga. the length of the chapters didn't help either. 100 pages for one chapter? that's like 4 regular BL chapters.
hard pass
Ch1 already has the seme confessing his love and the uke fucking him, while in ch3 the uke has broken up with him and has dubcon sex w his colleague. There was no build-up, no nothing. Things happened because they were *supposed* to happen and the story felt quite mechanical, frankly. I dropped it by the 4th chapter.
