its in vol2 ! its when shun says “dont do it inside” and yet mio does it anyway
Oh yeah i just read it and its kinda sad
is it a boundary violation by modern standards? yeah, def. but it doesn't carry that same patriarchal weight you see in hetero stories.
the manga isn't excusing it, but it tries to make us look past a basic western binary "good person vs bad person"/"predator-victim" and reductive "man vs woman" -- esp when theyre queer, esp when mio is portrayed to be more of the smaller, feminine "top" (tho i think he is more flexible than that) who we can say holds no systemic, patriarchal power over the older, masc, taller shun, and esp when top ≠ patriarchal and dominant.
It was messy, REALLY messy and even i had to reflect on it many times, but god its just tiring when ppl make it seem like a simple dynamic viewed in a heteronormative western lens. Like mio didnt do it to exert patriarchal dominance over shun, it was more of the more "individual" insecurity, in which he feared shun didnt really want him.
I was on tiktok and i read that mio takes advantage of shun but that didnt make any sense to me so i re-read it and it never happens, so what scene could they have misinterpreted?
