I dont think alot of these comments understand that makoto was completely dependent on his boyfriend, when your in a toxic relationship it seems like that person is controlling your life, makoto couldnt even imagine that his boyfriend was cheating on him because he valued him so much. He constantly blames himself over his boyfriend because he thinks he is in the wrong rather than the man who raped him, thats why he didnt run away the first times it happened. He finally began to realize that shit once yuki told him that a normal relationship wasn’t like that. He’s still debating on leaving his boyfriend BECAUSE he’s been manipulated and controlled for so damn long!!!!
They also are reading it with American brains and screaming about how Makoto should've reported the rape the the police as if he actually has that option in Japan. Rape, especially against men and even more so against gay men, is so stigmatized that he probably would've been told it was either his fault or not even classifiable as rape because he's a man.
Its not semantics its just law. Men in MOST cases dont speak up when they've been a victim of SA bc it hurts their pride that they were taken advantage of by another dude and they dont want to be viewed in a "flawed" light cause they naturally associate being taken advantage of sexually as a feminine trait. Its text book misogyny. Its not just Japan its every patriarchy bc being seen like that is "shameful". Not to mention its quite obvious that in this world being gay is not as big of a deal since they doing ts outside









im GONNA need that next chapter STAT
