It was terrible! Why would a person even think that he will be happy with a very selfish man! And I didn't like how Nakahara was treated. He was the first person that showed kindness to him and it seem that shina is presuming too much what is good for nakahara. It says that it is a happy ending, but it left a bitter aftertaste. There are too much loose ends. I mean, about his brother and about how will Nakahara deal with shiina na Sasagawa. its just so wrong

There are so many problems with this novel that I don't know where to start. I'm sitting here trying to organize thoughts to explain why I'm rating this a '2', but there's so much. Poor pacing, poor plotting, implausible situations, weak characterizations, sketchy motives, illogical reasoning, many more.

The biggest? Its horribly outdated message: "it's good to fall in love with your emotional abuser because deep inside he loves you, really."

The relationship between Shina and Sasakawa is just so sad and pathetic. Sasakawa is the biggest problem of this novel. Not likeable, very selfish, inconsiderate, and very immature. The kind that you'd warn your friends away from. You know, the type that would would mess with your head into believing you can't live without him because you NEED him. Or so he likes to have you believing. It's just not romantic. It's not love. It's the worst kind of emotional manipulation.

The best and only well-written part of the story is Shina's time with a teacher and his sweet pregnant wife. I finally liked and sympathized with Shina through this couple, but when that segment ended, the story went downhill.

I told my sister that I'll buy all books she wants for a year if she'd promise me not to read this book. She's old enough to read boys love novels, but young enough to be influenced. I don't want her to read Immoral Darkness until she's old enough to recognize that it's books like this that gives BL a bad name.

Rushed Ending

In the omake, Matsuda-sensei writes on the topic of the theme of this novel: 'Someone who is trying to save someone ends up being saved themselves.' I didn't really understand how her theme played out in this novel. I checked online to see if there were any discussions about this, but i mostly found reviews that just flat-lined and labelled the story off as 'pointless rape victim falls in love with rapist.' (I personally liked the 'forced' sexy scenes - a lot)So, i sat and thought it through all on my own. worries I hope someone else mentions their thoughts here! 🙂 hint hint

I think there was a complex play of emotions that Matsuda-sensei was trying to protray. Jun was a desperate, at-the-breaking-point young man: He was terribly closed down and locked up within himself. If love -any sort of love!- didn't happen -and soon- there was a crisis/tragedy building. Sasagawa himself was messed up too: Characters kept referring to his 'diverse' and 'rough' background.

This novelist's characters reminded me of many of Shin Mizukami's mangas: the protagonist seme had developed (from his difficult life that was hinted at) a strong, harsh and confident personality and a bizarre/unusual twist on how to survive and how to love another and preserve said love. (Think: Love's Pressure Points by MIzukami.) Perhaps an exploration of Sasagawa's background would have clarified the mangaka's desired theme.

possible spoiler
The other teacher's discomfort and ignoring of Jun was a little disappointing after such loving and kind treatment previously - but then that is reality with some people: Sometimes people have a narrow vision and no matter how loving they are - it is conditional love based on staying in line with what they view as acceptable. It just saddens me when i read it in a book. Too much IRL!

The last quarter of the book didn't discuss the 'crisis' in their relationship: It was rushed and generalized. (WTF? was with Sasagawa's response about the crisis-inducing girl?! . . .Seemed so out-of-character. Poor Jun! Ill all night!)

Definitely worth reading for a few 'one shot' scenes if you like the forced scenes. But the deeper side of the story was a thought provoking -if clumsy- attempt about the variety of relationships that humans can have. It made me think, 'who is anyone to judge whether this relationship should be stopped or is wrong when it could in fact be saving both involved from a terrible place in their minds? What matters is how the individuals involved personally feel within. And I think Miyu Matsuda expressed Jun's thoughts on how he felt after being so 'wanted' by Sasagawa in a honest and touching -if heartbreaking- way.
