I agree it's awful in the least
I think it was better in that there was a very dark theme to the whole story. They didn't lighten it up or make it a ill rape you because i love you thing. It's a shamelessly twisted story. So I liked it albeit with a little shame.
partner abuse in homosexual relationships are high too. it's difficult and sad.
@Penny: What you said might be why this story is so good. Like usually these yaoi mangas has this odd feeling like"it would be nice if that happened, but I don't think it will". This story on the other hand takes a hold of a very serious subject, and once the "This wont happen for real...right?" changes to "Oh my god, this does happen!", it's actually very eye opening story. Okay, in many cases the abuse doesn't start right away, but still the feeling parts is highly the same as in this story.
And now when I say the story is good, I mean that it creates emotions, strong emotions and actually makes you think. If a story does that, it goes to my favorite list :)
Loving someone who abuse you, who rapes you and kidnaps you.... well, it was awful
