Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #bully seme(2)

A series of one shots with a theme of bullying the one you love. There was no extreme bullying, it mostly seemed like it was some low level sadism or diverting attention for new feelings.

Ugh... I never like to bomb a manga because I know the mangaka put such effort into it. However, there was nothing to like about the MCs. The seme was an abusive, rapist, son of a bitch. He wanted to hurt the uke, not as a part of a consensual S&M relationship, but to be noticed by him. What a selfish mofo.. I often love an obsessed seme, even a crazy one can be fun, as long as they value and protect their loved one. But this guy was simply loathesome. I kept reading hoping for something redeeming, like some payback. But no. The uke loved his abuser, was willing to be the lover even if the seme married the nice fiancé that the uke had met and liked. He was willing to give up his self respect just to stay with the seme. If there is one thing I hate in a manga as much as an abusive, rapist seme, it’s a doormat of a uke. And again, it’s not even like he had a humiliation kink or a masochistic need to be belittled and manipulated. Even with that stuff it needs to be consensual with after care. He was just willing to overlook everything because he ‘loved’ the seme. Awful. And I read it all, hoping desperately for some redeeming element. Epic fail for me.
