This may be SM but I am EXTREMELY uncomfortable with Tengoku just butting in and forcing Aoki into an SM relationship. I can't get behind these sorts of fantasies, especially when the Sub clearly has unresolved trauma. To me it's the equivalent of a man forcing himself on a rape victim so she can "get over" the trauma of being raped. It doesn't sit right with me AT ALL. Tengoku may "know" what Aoki secretly wants, but that doesn't give you any excuse to just go ahead and do it to them if they don't ask for it. These sorts of manga only serve to further paint BDSM as emotionally manipulative and borderline criminal.
