manganiME's manga / #rape(47)

The first story (and follow-up extra) is my favorite. There's a mixture of humor, suffering/trauma, rescue, and romance that I find absolutely wonderful. The two characters are so different and so right for each other for those differences. The older (uke) guy's story breaks your heart, so the happy ending is that much better. The quirky side characters work, too, having some dark/lightly-cruel moments along with the humor (Tomoko-Sensei's specialty, light with dark). Didn't much care for Chain Gang. Don't like rape in Devil's Thoroughbred, but she sort of redeems it with the violent humor of the hospital visit. It ends up having some complicated as heck relationship/friendship and effed-up seme. But definitely count Stroboscope among my faves for the spaced out, enduring his loneliness and sorrow and fears uke. So happy he got happiness.

I like the twisted personality of the uke, but when it turned to rape, yeah, not so much.

I like the psychological aspect, the way it's drawn, and the expressions, but the various uke situations are just too depressing, too painful, and the semes/rapists/abusers should just go and drown in the river. The train one was horrible. I mean, gang rape and the horrible look of terror in the victim's eyes. Have to admit the omakes had some funny stuff, but it couldn't erase the rape and abuse altogether in all but 1 of the stories.

Gore, Torture, Rape, Kidnapping, Gang-rape, Drugging, Toilet Rape, Fucked UP to the Max, Amputation, Shackling, Sadism, Trauma, Burning, Binding, Possible Murder/Snuff. If you still want to read it after that, well, not my fault. You know it's sick shit.
