miseryxcompany's manga / #Rape(6)

There’s no point to this other than being gross. You just kind of sit there and physically recoil as this four day unshowered hikkikormori fudanshi neet rapes his brother in law, clearly getting off on having him swallow the dick cheese out of his foreskin like it’s a slurpee, and it’s almost impossible to not imagine the acidic smell of sweat and dried out cum while he rubs his dick all over the guys face and fucks him with it. Though that I was into it probably says more about me than anything.

Hot but if ur crossdressing character is gonna go so far as to pretend to be a chick just bite the bullet and make them trans. Or futa at least.

Very annoyingly on the nose and I can't take any of the later dialogue seriously. It would be nice if some attention was given to Ookami so I could figure out what his deal is. Why is he so subservient.

What is this manga trying to say in having Amemiya consider the words of his late rapist? Initially he rejects the insinuation that he and Tazaki are the same, though he seems to have a change of heart on account of his attraction to Yagi. Tazaki’s letter suggests that if Amemiya keeps suppressing his desires he’ll end up an abuser just like him, and to this stories credit, Amemiya says that simply acknowledging his feelings for Yagi did not free him; it took effort on his own part. But that it is his rapists words he is considering so deeply, after his expressed desire to kill him, is just so odd. This idea of the “limiter” may well have broken the story by equating violence in pursuit of justice to the violence committed by abusers themselves, Amemiya going as far as to shield his kidnapper from Yagi’s gun, after noting how the situation resembles his run-in with Tazaki. The “limiter” itself lacks nuance. Why are we even taking the words of a psychopathic serial rapist/murderer seriously? Why would Yagi have ‘removed his limiter’ had he shot Junya, a kidnapper, murderer, and attempted assaulter? I assume the message Limiter aims to convey is that improperly managing the anger and animosity resulting from your abuse can hinder your ability to recover. But this manga does not acknowledge any nuances to the topic. There’s nothing wrong with wanting those who’ve hurt you to hurt in the same way, but Amemiya allowed his hatred to consume him, for Tazaki to retroactively take control over his life. And it was powerful when he described sex with Yagi as breaking his chains. For the first time since his assault he’d been touched and felt pleasure from it and Tazaki had nothing to do with it. He didn’t need that hatred for him that had driven him up until that point. Was it not enough for that to be the point in which his thirst for revenge ceased? For him to realize that Tazaki doesn’t own him, that he can still take his life back from him and live normally? The closing line, “Another removes his limiter,” only tells me Amemiya continues to live within the grasp and with the memory of his rapist, even in his death. It would have been significantly better had the letter subplot been abandoned and Amemiya’s relationship with sexuality and Yagi been further explored.

You couldn’t even begin to make sense of this manga even if the translation wasn’t so shit. In a way I respect the dedication to setting every twink up to be raped but it reads like the story was constructed around those noncon fantasies along the way. Takaya’s pedophilic, incestuous mother vanishes from the story entirely after the first chapter and is never mentioned in relation to Nagisa again. A new character is introduced entirely for the purpose of forcing himself onto Nagisa in what is essentially a repeat of the first chapter and ends in much the same way— vanished and making episodic what is an otherwise a continuous narrative. Nagisa’s father is introduced and you might be thinking this has something to do with Takaya’s pedophile mom going missing, but actually he just wants custody of Nagisa and bribes Takaya with sex if he wants Nagisa to stay. Takaya has this brief bout of internalized homophobia after being called a queer by Nagisa’s father— who strips down and has sex with his assistant in front of him— but gets over it after Nagisa fucks it out of him. And the dad is actually insane by the way. He only married his ex-wife so he could have a child and doesn’t care that she killed herself or anything, and that’s not even getting into the forced antagonization of the only two women mentioned in this manga. And I just wish there was more angsting over the fact that they’re cousins. You’re writing incest and just doing nothing with it, what’s the point?! I’m almost mad that nothing in this manga is taken seriously because it’s just so absurd.
