Lol I hated it

IDK if you know but not everyone on earth is as privileged as you might be. Police and therapist? Not everyone have easy access to them. In my place, even if you are trying to contact them for rape, it's the female who will be shunned, cause they are no longer "pure", and this cause a big emotional restrain for females who had been through it. Not only they have to life on with that horrid memory, they also couldn't tell, even more, lean on others.
Also please note that this is mostly REAL, not just some imaginations. This manga was adapted from the novel which was written by Mika herself. This is her way of telling her struggles into the world and maybe encouraging other who is the same as her.
other than that, take into account that this happened maybe around early 2000 (we saw 2008 on the diary I think), and the world wasn't as open and facilitated as today.
Not everything in the world is as happy, good-looking, smooth as stories. Real world can be shitty, and it's not like anyone is born smart and understanding. People have their own pace and ways of learning things, in Mika's case hers is worse.
The same goes for Hiro, he was thinking for Mika's future. He wants her to have a happy family in the future, because he knew a little in his heart that he cannot fill that role. He failed to take Mika's feeling into account, and here's the actual problem. He was not trying to be toxic. He learned his mistakes and tried to fix things the way he could and that's good.
It's apparent that you haven't lost anyone important in your life yet, or maybe you don't have anyone important. Saying the ashes of someone who was cremated as a "smoke stack" is very rude to some cultures and religion who bid farewell this way.
"This is why I don't read straight romance" Others romance, stories, and pains are not for your entertainment anyways. Even GL or BL stories has even more disturbing and stupidly plotted plot.

Please educate yourself before putting bad words on others. Mika was brave to share her story, you, who probably get to sit around and enjoy nice life, don't get to judge her like this. Her pain is real, her happiness, struggles, all of them are real. Not just some "plot"
Learn to be respectful. Grow up

Bro I didn’t know it was real. You need to calm down, I literally just stumbled across this manga randomly- and from the POV that it was written as a completely fictional story. You don’t need to be rude to educate others- maybe be more polite in your response next time

And also you know nothing about what my life is like, your response also demonstrates the same level of ignorance for you assumptions

I wasn’t trying to assume anything, I was merely rebutting your comments. But as you can see being assumed is not a nice feeling. And also I was quite polite in responding, I didn’t get where you think I am not being polite

oh shit yikes ur a fujo no wonder.

I don't know if this is at me or at the original commenter

the original commenter lol did i reply to you by accident? if so im sorry

Lol fujos usually ship real men together that aren’t necessarily gay, I strictly stay within fictional stories : / also i mentioned right after ,and i will reiterate, that I DID NOT KNOW THIS MANGA WAS BASED OFF A TRUE STORY, i found it on accident and sped read through the entire thing

i apologize if the original comment is disrespectful, and i reiterate that I THOUGHT THAT THIS STORY WAS COMPLETELY FICTIONAL and what i meant in the original comment was that the pacing of the story felt too rushed, it felt as though the character and reader didn’t have time to process anything before the next situation hit them, and the story just “reset”. Thanks for bringing attention to the fact that this is based off a real story, but you were also kind of rude in your assumptions of my life, privileges, as well as the fact I “haven’t lost anyone important” when covid has actually taken someone in my extended family away from me and couldn’t even visit them. It was why i pointed out your comment as rude. I appreciate you trying to educate me on the manga there are better ways to do it then ending it with “grow up”.

Noppeee I just got a notification bcs I commented before. It's fine

First of all, corrections. Fujos aren't people who ship real people. They are people who fetishize gay people, real or fictional. People who only read Yaoi but not BL and stuff. Second of all, by grow up I don't mean literally, but I mean stop being ignorant, even kids aren't as ignorant. Even though stories are sometimes fictional, a lot of people might relate to what the characters had been trough, and comments like yours are just making these people more insecure, more worried about their situations.

I literally just wanted to say that the way the story was structured felt weird, i have nothing against the actual traumatic situations within the story. The way i phrased the comment was wrong but i’m correcting it now that i meant it in a way that how the manga was written, paced, structured and shown wasn’t enough to encompass the magnitude of the situations it was representing. Does this clear it up for you?

I also took initiative and apologized, not sure what else to do besides that - i would say your small comments in your original response about me were just as insensitive as my original post, but you also don’t know anything about me - just like how i didn’t know that this story was not fictitious - and that wouldn't be a fair statement to make

I'm sorry for offending you and assuming things. After that I was just explaining things and you got defensive on your own tho ://

No worries, and i got defensive because of your original response- it didn’t come off in a good tone to me and felt rather passive aggressive at the time, which is why i responded negatively, apologies, it was also because of the “losing someone important part” that kinda irked me, but it’s whatever. It’s not an excuse, but i AM pretty embarrassed by this original post i made because i had written it after coming off of the high of reading the manga as soon as i woke up in the morning while still in bed, which was why i come off as so crazed and incoherent in it, and why my responses are now (i hope) more structured and legible lol. I made the post because, after speed reading through the story and there being so much to process, that it felt kind of ridiculous (you’ve got to admit though the message behind it was decent, the technical pacing of the story was a bit wack) and i was half joking while writing the post hence the “yall crazy this is why i read BL” part. Im fully aware of how insensitive of a comment it is and I understand where you were coming from, it was just when i initially read it felt more accusatory than educational, and i was under the impression my comment was obvious that it was constructed in a joking manner. Glad we could have a more civil conversation about this now though lmao i promise I’m not usually like this but corona keeping me cooped up at home (besides me going out to school) isn’t doing me any favours ;-;

No worries. I admit I was kinda aggressive, most likely because I was still emotional from the story. I was just trying to bring more awareness

It was actually based on a true story of the new author mika's life experiences.

Im aware now. Read above conversation
