Plot that has toxic elements and problematic themes

Exactly as the title suggests.

I prefer to read wholesome, fluffy type stories, but sometimes there are exceptions and this list is for those. 

Sometimes, I just go back to reading these stories even knowing the plot is meh or the characters are toxic, there’s romanticized rape etc. because either they redeem themselves somehow or the sex is hot or the art is beautiful.

I’ll be sure to put content warning, what I find not so great about the manga etc.

Kuroneko Kareshi no Asobikata

 9.1(202 voted)
Complete
Author(s): Sakyou Aya , SAKYO Aya
Genre(s): Comedy / Smut / Supernatural / Yaoi

CW: rape
Con: The rape is romanticized and never addressed. The seme is pretty pushy and arrogant. So many instance of the uke saying “stop” and “no”, but the seme still pushes through because the uke “likes it and is enjoying it”.
Why I still re-read : uncensored, hot sex. Beautiful art. Cats. Shogo (uke) is a cutie

K-sensei no Yajuu na Aijou

 8.4(690 voted)
Complete
Author(s): NATSUMIZU Ritsu
Genre(s): Drama / Yaoi

Cons: the seme, K-sensei, is pretty forceful and gets very handsy with the uke without asking for consent. He pushes the uke to confess, but he doesn’t confess himself. There’s actually no reasoning given as to why K-sensei likes the uke?
Pros: the extra at the end was cute. I’m a sucker for megane ukes who are book worms.

Kireina Oniisan ga Ore no Pet ni Narimashita

Author(s): SARUWAKA Chimi,Mimeko Miyako
Genre(s): Yaoi

Honestly, I’m torn about this manga. The ending was fluffy, but it doesn’t erase the forceful way Mike has sex with Haruki in the beginning. Haruki somehow accepts Mike for all his bad qualities though and forgives him I guess??
Cons: Mike was forceful about sex and ignored Haruki’s no’s
Pros: fluffy ending?? Beautiful art. Haruki is so cute and innocent. Mike did put effort into becoming a better person

Author(s): TORIBA Yuuji
Genre(s): Smut / Yaoi

CW: rape and attempted rape
Cons: rape to lovers trope, Aya is super forceful about sex, attempted rape by other characters, rape by Aya was never discussed and he never apologized even when he was becoming a “better” person
Pros: cats, beautiful art, hot sex scenes, Nazuku is such a pure hearted kid T_T, the friends are funny

Hoshoku-sha Kisumi-kun

Author(s): TORIBA Yuuji
Genre(s): Yaoi

Well...I don’t know why I enjoyed this so much.
Cons: obsessive and possessive seme. Stockholm syndrome?? Captivity. Stalking.
Pros: beautiful art. The story has this “what will happen next??” intrigue to it. The two mc’s are actually co-dependent of each other. Irl their relationship would be considered unhealthy, but in the story it works out I guess since their feelings turned out to be mutual?

Muka Tsuku Douryou to Sefure ni Narimashita

Complete
Author(s): U
Genre(s): Smut / Yaoi

CW: rape, molestation on train
I basically just read this for the smut...multiple couples set in the same universe, but their stories don’t intersect. They all have the typical seme forces sex on (rapes) uke, but uke finds it pleasurable so it’s fine and they become a couple...
1st couple (ch1-3) actually started out fine, sex was consensual until it wasn’t
4th couple (ch6) This is the only one where the sex between mc’s was consensual, molestation of uke was by 3rd party

Sex at the Ends of the Earth

 8.7(850 voted)
Complete
Author(s): NARUSE Kazusa
Genre(s): Drama / Romance / Yaoi

CW: sexual coercion, rape, suicide (only mentioned)
Cons: Masao basically forces Izumi to consent to sex, then he forces him for the following times they have sex, Izumi starts to like but it feels like stockholm syndrome
Why re-read: hot smutty sex scenes, Masao does help out Izumi in the end and it really looks like he is trying to turn over a new leaf and wants to care for and support Izumi

There was neglect play, but with no prior communication and boundaries about how it was going to go down. Gives off yandere vibes.
