i think most of you just dont understand this type of humour. i like the way ikumi is just so detached from whatever happening to his body, the only thing he care is basketball. hes like, innocent, in a way. i think he just repressed all the bad things that happen to him and continue to laugh, because if he stop he surelly have a massive mental breakdown. being repeatedly raped does tend to make people detached from thier own body ya know, its a form of defence mechanism. idk why he still feel some sort of attachment to the rapist, probably he cant get over the betrayal, or he fear for his well being ( that sempai sure is sadistic), or he dont want to disrupt his school life, or he just plain want to continue being in the basketball club. haha, i do hope ikumi can get out of this Stockholm syndrome one day. or at least try. please try reading this. you might love it, you might hate it, but the most important thing is you have some sort of reaction to it.
i couldn't even finish this, it was so bad. rape and humour do simply not go together, and even people who write rape fantasies ought to realise that. WTF got into this author? and where was the editor; out cavorting in ni-chome? certainly didn't do any editing. i'm pretty inured to raping in BL by now, and take the usual excuses in stride, but this just went over the line. also, it's hard to figure out what exactly is happening when. where IS the plot? i lost track. how often did satou get raped in this and the sequel? i can't believe i got bored with a manga that cranks up the drama factor with rape, but i did.
the scanlation is also not particularly good; the english prose doesn't flow. but honestly, this doesn't deserve a scanlation at all, nevermind a good one.
even the art isn't good. i do like honami's later art, but this isn't there yet. not even close.
My very first time to rate a manga 1. I picked this one up because of Honami's art but this one fails even in that. Didn't look like her art at all. At least not like the other 4 mangas I read that were drawn by her. The art here is mediocre standard. Really bad are the story (rape, no love), character development (*laugh*) and presentation (there wasn't put much effort in those characters at all). The characters are flat and the story is boring. Not even worth for the yaoi action (there isn't any).
Don't bother with its sequel 2-14 Jiken, it isn't any better. Even worse. Comes with bitchy clichéd shoujo dramas *roll eyes*
Honestly, except for drawing a manga, I could do much better oO
I'm sorry, but I really didn't enjoy this. They basically made it seem like the rape was funny and that nothing was wrong. There wasnt even any angst after he got raped, just "lala im happy haha!". I mean, I don't even like angst but a even just a little would have been good, i mean, HE GOT RAPED!!!! dont go along laughing about it. I'm hoping the sequel will be better...since the writer isnt the same, and I usually like yukine honamis stuff. I'll give it a 5 for the drawing though, exceptionally pretty
This was a horrible story, just really poorly told. Characters jumped around in their feelings and thoughts as did the plot, so that there could be no substance to it. There was nothing of interest to follow, because even when something was mentioned that might have potential, there was no follow through. Even the sex is boring, unless you like a constant flow of non-graphic rape that even the uke is bored with.
And the visuals... I love Honami Yukini, I really do, but I think this was her first book and it's far removed from her later skillful artistic renderings.
The first chapter led me to believe I was in for some drama and angst but then it just flops. There's nothing to explain the hurt and emotions that were in the beginning but just evaporated in the next chapters. It's like the mangaka decided to revser the whole feel of the book.
This story ends kind of abruptly. That's probably because it's a prequel. ( I hope someone scanlates 2-14 Jiken. ) I thought this was a good story, and I don't know why anyone would give it a 1, except that maybe they didn't know it was yaoi or were bothered that it had rape in it. (it would be nice if people who really dislike a series would comment, so that other people will know why and can decide whether or not to avoid it. Don't you think?)
