Sulla's manga / #Rape(17)

I have mixed feelings on this one. What the seme did to the uke is truly unforgivable. You don't rape someone because they don't return your love. That's just really sick. However, I like that this manga made me FEEL. As reprehensible as he was, i felt the rapist's anguish as clearly as I did his victim's. And as for that victim, make no mistake, that's exactly what he is here. This is Stockholm syndrome in action. Developing feelings for his attacker was a way for him to deal with the experience, to somehow insulate himself from the violence & degradation of the act by focusing on his attacker's after-the-fact confession and remorse. This relationship will either develop into a sick co-dependence or it will eventually fizzle out in the long run cuz these circumstances do NOT lead to a healthy, happy relationship.

I felt it needed something more. The ending didn't really feel like a resolution. For all that this should have been a deeply emotional story...it wasn't. Lots of unrealized potential.

Utterly ludicrous premises but still a guilty pleasure read ;)

This didn't really have any resolution. The younger boy has a hard crush on his sempai who really doesn't seem to return it, and rapes him and then it's right back to business as usual the next day. This clearly needed another chapter or three.

After being shot and almost drowned, the poor uke wakes from his coma and is raped by his "rescuer" less than ten minutes later. I don't always hate the rape-to-love trope but that seemed a bit excessive. Oh! Yay! You're conscious again! Let me shove my dick in your ass while you are still too weak from pain, blood loss and oh, that's right a COMA, to fight back. Yeah, I love historicals but I couldn't get past that. Definitely not my cup of tea.

Last story was rape, and really rather sad. The others were variations of school boys falling in love.

Possessive younger step-brother rapes the protagonist after seeing him roughhousing with a co-worker. He's utterly without remorse following the rape and continues to menace Shiina until he runs away in desperation. Three years later Shiina is living alone, and obviously still traumatized by the rape. He has no friends, won't socialize with his co-workers outside his job, and runs away from a man on the street who only loosely resembles his step-brother. Then one day the real Kazuya shows up at his workplace.
