Too old for shoujo manga?

It's certainly true that you just don't enjoy certain tropes anymore but High School Romance can be mature and well written too. For instance, Mars is a very well written story and still one of my favourites, so is Principal. I'm quite enjoying Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi ...

Rape IS a bad thing. I agree, in all these stories, the rapist is either forgiven or it's a case of Stockholm syndrome or some other circumstance.
I suggest it be named to "Normalization of Rape" or "Rape is Trivialized", so that sensibilities of people are not offended.

Well, from what I gather, your main concerns are:
Multi-protagonist story:- it'll actually make you understand each character's background and context and put things in perspective. Initially, you stick to one group at a time, so you won't feel like you're suddenly being t...

The kanji used is 蠱毒 while the hiragana translation given next to it is こどく or "kodoku" in romaji.
