I didn't like it

Rather than the non-con I'm more uncomfortable with how this oneshot treated the even more serious issue that happened afterwards. The tone of the ending feels very jarring and inappropriate - it makes this look like some kind of typical melancholic story whose theme is the mild bittersweet separation between friends or lovers and the protagonist is calmly reminiscing about the ~~good ol' days~~ as if everything's all fine and dandy and water under the bridge now, and I'm just..?

I mean we're talking manslaughter here, someone actually got killed and not just injured (either physically or mentally or both), the latter case of which can at least still allow them to recover to some degree and not drop dead literally.

Even if he has acknowledged his crime (only to himself though), the lack of a real sense of punishment or consequence of any sort to the main character, coupled with the story's bizarrely aloof and even dreamy vibe after it all went down, just seems so odd and questionable to me. "I can't forget the summer I spent with you here"~ lol, seriously? See it's that glaring gap between the seriousness of the deed and how lightly it got addressed that gets on my nerves and doesn't sit well with me.

Finally, A Decent Manga Dealing With

Rape.(Though I am not satisfied. Really I never know how to deal with work dealing with Rape)
Some of Tuskumo Gou's work while are really kinky (and deal with the Debased and Depraved) they really have depth to them that exceeds, or at least should for the reading look for it, the Debased-Depraved kinkyness. There is an actual plot to the story.

Having said this; the Art. The Tsukumo Gou's art is always very, and I use this term with great deliberation, masculine and sensual. The bodies are like polishes sculptures which have been honed, waxed, and made specifically for fulfilling this purpose. Even if a manga drawn by Tsukumo didn't have homoeroctic (not homo-social or romantic) intentions I believe it would be difficult it establish that.

That Art Though

by Ahzinal

Rating: 9.5 / 10.0

First, I need to confess that I always go to Tsukumo sensei’s manga for the art. The art is so sensual and male that… I’m lost for words to properly describe it.

Having said that, I liked the plot of the story too. It’s a tragedy but I also felt a psychological vibe going on. We are dealing with emotional teenagers here and I believed their stupid actions. The story was well done and the conclusion was redeeming in a sense. Not that it is enough to forgive his sin per se but it is something.

It’s a tragedy, but more on the softer side of tragedies I’ve came across.
