Please seek help if you're in this kind of abusive relationship! I
m happy that uke and seme got together though!! :D
I definitely agree
I agree with you. Through the seme pov we see that the uke and the woman (ex-gf) have several character flaws but no matter what it never justify the abuse.
I completely agree and stupid reasons such as jealousy and being too overly clingy shouldn't affect the ability of a person to see what is right from wrong. If they feel like they are being threatened then they should go and leave the cause of the threat and never try to accept it. It's either treat you right or leave them alone.
"Can't get over the fact..." that that is exactly how most battered partners feel, that it's their own fault they are being abused-that they deserve it. In their way they are just as sick as the abuser and will need help to break out of that mindset.
It's accurate in that, but at the same time, this manga gives the feeling that we're to agree with Hidetoshi, and it feels like he himself is projecting the author's views about this matter. Left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I didn't get the feeling that the author was condoning the abuse or reinforcing a view that abused people deserve it. I thought the portrayal of the abused was just that-portraying the insidious thoughts of a victim of domestic abuse thinks and how obviously distorted that thinking/justification is. But naturally not every reader is going to interpret this (or any other) work the same way so I will just agree to disagree with you on that point.
The seme even blamed the uke for getting beat up.
Abuse is abuse and there's nothing one can say or do to justify it. Although the couple are cute together and I appreciate their kind of love I still can't get over the fact that the 'Uke' thinks that just because his ex bf could understand his sentiment over his unrequited love and is jealous of his childhood friend then it's alright to be abused and beaten up.
