You know what Kojima could have done instead of raping Ryousuke?
Walk away from situation. Tell him let’s talk about this later.
Now, is miscommunication as a plot device to further a relationship annoying? To me yeah it can be (not all the time but often) when they can just communicate to each other and work it out.
Would I prefer that over sexual assault as a plot device to further a relationship though? 100% yes.
It could still have the aftermath of Kojima breaking the contract because he’s afraid his possessiveness would better him and Ryousuke chasing after him to say he never agreed to any of this.
Imagine Ryousuke being able to say, “You didn’t do anything to me like that disgusting president did. You think you will, but you didn’t and the Kojima I know may be selfish and grumpy, but you care so much about me.”
