What line or scene from a manga has had a lasting impact on you?

Truth be told there are so many of these 'moments' for me when reading that I could go on all day about intricate little details but a powerful one that spoke to me months ago was a statement from 'Crushed' that is the MCs reaction to bullying following someone outing him in a boys only school.

"I'm not ashamed to be gay and I won't change. They think that they know your weakness and try to hurt you with that. I know pretty well what this is about! They're just frustrated that I have sex and say so openly. We're in an age where everyone wants to date and have intercourse and they can't have that here. So that I'm not 'above' them...I was made into the girl."

On the one hand, it reminds me that it is still all to common for homosexual men to be demeaned by being called feminine names or treated like they can't do things 'real men' do but also even the seemingly acceptable homophobic remarks that we've become desensitized to like asking gay couples which of them is the girl in the relationship.

On the other hand, I recall that the first time reading through it made me stop and read the whole scene again letting it sink in that the very reason gay men are equated to women is to establish that power and dominance over an inferior human being. As a woman, it hurt to finally understand that.

And on my third hand that I keep tucked away for special occasions, I could literally feel the pulling of my heart heartstrings over a fictional character whom I would later realize a barely knew.

Sometimes...something just really sticks with you.

    I remember that! Sadistic Beauty is such an amazing work too. Personally, I love witness a woman with all the power dynamic but I could never do it myself.

    I believe that I'll look super awesome in black leather while wielding a flogger...until its time to use it and I'm all, "Was that too hard? It looks red! Imma be right back with an ice pack sweetie...don't die!"

    I assume some sexy nurse/patient stuff ensues after that.

    Gotta change outfits.

    Find the rectal thermometer.

    Hmm...i like where this is going. You've convinced me.
