Omg

I'm used to this author having forceful semes who either borderline or outright rape their ukes, so I'm not really shocked...and it IS her choice to write these scenes, as well as it's my choice to patron her work.

Now that that's out of the way, what IS shocking is this desperate attempt to elongate a story that should've been wrapped up or simply resolved long ago. I understand that people get hurt and it changes them...I understand that old habits are difficult to break...I understand that an unhealthy dynamic can make behaviors and reactions loop around and around, making progress into a healthy relationship nearly, if not completely, impossible...but, whether it is real life or a work of fiction, it gets tiring. And this IS a work of fiction, so the author and editors have control of it...so, why haven't they put an end to this sick cycle?

...Right: money.

Onodera and Takano are officially in a more regressed state now than they were back on Takano's birthday, or when they had sex in the shower. And yes, we freaking understand: Nao has a crush on Onodera; Nao hates Takano. Well, Nao has overstayed his welcome at this point, and every time it seems as though we've FINALLY gotten rid of him...he comes back, and wants to stay at Onodera's apartment. It's beating a dead horse, at this point.

The artist just needs to pull the trigger and end this cycle; I love her work, but this is just bad choices.
