It's not surprising that it went toward the same old rape-to-love trope, but still disappointing. It started out much more realistically than some of them do, with the trauma/fear you might actually expect, so I was holding a little hope that it might be different. Le sigh...
yep, the beginning was refreshining, but the characters are too cliché, almost empty... The stories goes from "interesting" to "meh, deja vu"
So, not super explicit, but does this take it beyond qualifying as just shounen ai? http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/aitsu_no_daihonmei/mf/mi_chapter-23/pg-9/
This page made me think they went with the opposite roles from expected. How disappointing! http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/gentei_kareshi/mh/sa-c002/pg-20/
So, the characters in the first story recognized the rape as a horrible thing, the victim saying repeatedly that he should hate his friend for doing it, the rapist regretting his awful actions, etc. And yet, instantly forgiven, lovey dovey relationship immediately, and no apparent trauma? This is like rape trope in hyperdrive...
I know that they are supposed to be the same age, and were closer in size for the snippets they were shown in the other story, but this is a ludicrous size difference for the kids the same age. http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/april_4/mh/v01/c003/26/
