A start for interesting discussions

by Lucassio

Rating: N/A

It deals with some heavy subjects as the other comments have pointed out. I have not had experiences like the protagonists, but the author treats the subject matter with respect (from my point of view). It feels like a starting point for discussion about these tough and sometimes uncomfortable topics.

Many of the comments seem to focus on the first arc which does involve sexual assault but there is a later arc that looks at family dynamics.

The current arc is advertised to discuss homosexuality and heterosexuality so that'll be something I'll be patiently waiting to see as events develop.

Overall, there seems to be an uplifting image of "keep your head held high and keep moving forward" which I buy into, it may be overly dramatic and idyllic so perhaps not everyone's cup of tea?

over-dramatized characters and somewhat brain-dead bitch as side characters

SOMEWHAT INTERESTING IN THE EARLIER CHAPTER, BUT IT GOES DOWNHILL.
NOW IT'S TOTAL CRAP. EVERYTHING JUST SO FUCKING HALF-ASSED.

THE AUTHOR JUST GOES AROUND IN CIRCLES, RINSE AND REPEAT. BY CHANGING THE MAIN CHARACTER.

YEAH, IT'S FUCKING MULTI-PROTAG SHIT.
WHILE NONE OF THE PROTAG GETS A PROPER CLOSURE.

Heavy and Full of Hope

Rating: 10.0 / 10.0

I honestly think you should take "tiankioo"s opinion seriously here, especially since I can't accurate imagine what a male victim's life would be like, but this series feels worth reading

It's heavy and hard to read due to the subject matter, but it feels full of hope and a desire to teach the audience. This point is both it's strongest point, the reason I'm continuing to read it, and it's biggest flaw, the reason "tainkioo" rating it poorly

I'm 23 chapters in and I can still recommend it if I knew a person well enough, but that's relative, since the topic of this series makes it near impossible to recommend to begin with. Anyway, I think you should try it

It's not very good.

I get the general aim of this manga, and while I think it's good that it handles a sensitive subject matter, unfortunately, it's just not realistic enough and feels like it's written by someone who doesn't actually understand what a male rape victim would deal with. Everyone in the manga treats it seriously and that's its biggest flaw, because in the real world that simply doesn't happen. Either you are ridiculed, it's joked about, or they simply avoid you. This MC has friends that are extremely supportive and it doesn't address the largest problem male rape victims face(that society believes that men can't be raped by women), and that's why I gave it a low rating.
