noshikhara's manga / #Blackmail(19)

Even though there is toxicity with the whole dub con and possible blackmail recording, it's not too much over the line, it's still pretty enjoyable here. Perhaps because both are somewhat bastards (affectionally). The looks of the Uke are alright, sometimes better than others, but the Seme is very beautiful, all the time.

[Dropped at Chapter 4] Stars already with drugging and rape, that's all the first 2 chapters are. At chapter 3, the Uke's suddenly so in love with the rapist that he can't do anything without him? I can't see this going anywhere good.

It is fetishizing Intersex real hard in this.

Normally I don't like stories in which the victim comes together with the rapist, and I still don't like it but in this one, it feels somewhat different. I can see why the Seme acted the way he did towards the Uke, due to his past trauma relating to something similar (Incestous Relationships) but what makes it better than others is not just that but also that he does realize it himself that the uke should not be with him due to what he did and that he put is trauma on someone who is not the same as his own abuser. I can also see why the Uke gets with the Seme despite what he did because he understand why the Seme acted this way but also realized the Seme genuinely accepted him and does not see him the same way as his abuser anymore, realizing that despite the similaries, he is different. The whole blackmailing and rape thing is still disgusting but I do understand it to a degree, as for once, it makes actual sense. I do not like it, but I also do not dislike it. I'm on the fence with it. About the incestous aspect though, it's nice to see for once that the Uke actually distances himself from his brother as he values his future more than his own feelings, even when he learned that his brother feels the same about it. The only thing that is still really weird to me is that despite the confessions, the kiss and almost-sex, the brothers seem to get along just normally like brothers again afterward, which just feels kinda off.

Of course, it's his brother.
