Reading this makes me want to cry ngl. I’m a big advocate for separating reality from fiction bc I know in fiction we can explore unconventional and problematic ideas. But just the way he’s so unaware and the way the author writes mimori makes me think the author doesn’t even know what rape is. Like….if the mangaka’s friend went through the same thing mimori did would the author call them a cheater and blame them for being naive? I can’t help but overlap the ppl I know who have gone through SA with mimori and it makes me want to cry bc I wouldn’t want any of them to blame themself the way he does. I think the reason I feel this way really is in the way that this doesn’t even feel like it’s directed at rape fetish or smth (like a lot of yaoi contains rape bc a lot of ppl have a rape fetish) but it’s so unaware in what it’s portraying that I wonder…does the author know?
