hey so the translator who dropped this apparently got some really inspiring mail to keep going so shes asking opinions on continuing so i went and left positive feed back and i hope you will too! ill post the link real quick
Thank you for sharing! I'm following her now on tublr and it seems she wants to continue the translation if enough people support her <3
I felt nothing for this. Everything seemed far removed and it kinda seemed like no one really cared about anything. It seems like everyone found this super emotional but for some reason I just found it all kinda pointless. Was I really the only one?
This really reminds me of nagareboshi lens (like 90% sure I fxxxed up the title but oh well) like with the sparkles and all that fluffyness
You're right (●'◡'●)
I mean sure the priest was a bitch for sleeping with someone else because he knew the other guy liked him but at the same time I saw it as they werent really going out together and the other guy never asked and if it was me, I'd be hurt but I wouldn't think we were exclusive... idk
yeah, I agree a 100%.
The doctor talks about akihiko and daigo like he's their relative or people he cared for when akihiko was like the nastiest fuck. Am I the only one who realized that since he adopted daigo he had to be at least 20 (legal age in japan) and since daigo was a year younger than him in school and he just had his birthday now he's 15 and akihiko died 5 years ago so in the best case scenario where he only stayed with akihiko for 1 year he was still 9 and akihiko was 20 and they clearly had a "relationship" that this horrible doctor did nothing about.
Ok I have seen plenty or rape yaoi and lemme tell you, this is not one of them. The uke clearly never once tried to push him away (he freaked out when the sex got intense but I'd assume most would if you tried to stick a needle in their dick) from the very beginning he was all "oh my friend is having sex with me and stuck something in my ass, that's not normal right? Help me let him down gently" like no. Just no. That is def not rape. If someone raped me i would never want to see them again and woukd fight back with everything ive got. Dubious consent perhaps but unless he had some bone disease so as not able to fight back or mental issues which cause him to not understand his sitution, that was not rape.
If we're talking about real life though, anything but an explicitly stated "yes" is a no. I personally think that what happened in this manga constitutes non-con. In situations like this, especially when the aggressor is someone you know and trust (which is more often the case than not when it comes to sexual assault), it's not always easy to just fight back. It's not that simple. If Person A comes on to Person B, the burden of making sure the situation is consensual rests with A, not B. There was a time not long ago (and it may still be going on) when people's lives were ruined because they were assaulted but nobody believed them, because they didn't conduct themselves in the "right" way. But that's an unreasonable expectation, because when someone's being violated by a person they trust, they're under a great deal of emotional/psychological stress. You wouldn't say that someone willingly gave up their purse to a thief just because they froze up from fear in the moment.
I get it, this is fiction, we shouldn't take it seriously, if the uke doesn't consider himself a victim then neither should we, there might be some Japanese cultural conventions that I as a Westerner don't recognize, yada yada. But please understand that the sort of logic you're using here is problematic and even dangerous if applied to a (Western) real-world context.
I completely agree I mean I would never apply this to real life considering... well... I just could not imagine there could be a person like this character in existence. He's too odd to be real and not have mental issues. That's the beauty of manga. Another thing that wouldn't happen in real life is the soooo common to see tsundere trope. When you factor that into yaoi rape scenes it's just... dear god let's not even go there.
Pretty much the only thing I can think when I read rape-ish manga. Am I the only one?
Sammmeee. I'm kinda tired of their nonsensical use of rape. If it's to put a psychological depth of some twisted meaning like in caste heaven then fine but this proliferation of rape = normal genuine expression of love is just... Shudders
Ever since I first read this with the mouth pallate thing I have been waiting for the blowjob scene PRAAAIIIISSSEEEEE GODDDDDDD. IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I IMAGINED
Ok so i love love love love love love LOOOVE Natsume Isaku! and i mean she did some one piece djs, and drew some of my favorite mangas like AMEIRO PARADOX ahhhhhhh! but i digress, what im trying to say is... I think she drew this dj. but idk just wanted to hear some opinions?
The first one is 100000% her, I can recognize her art style anywhere!
