So, I'm going to sound so passive aggressive right now, but I actually disagree with the majority of the comments that are lowering the rating of Koisuru Boukun because of the non-con/rape themes. I think that there are a few things that are totally excluded from the discussion here: first of all, the perspective of the readers. We - I am assuming - are mostly from Western backgrounds. I personally am from Australia, and can I just say that we have extreme censorship, and have previously been at risk of paedophilia charges from simply reading these kinds of texts. Topics like non-con and rape, regardless of how they are explored are constantly seen in a negative light: especially without context for the writing itself. This leads me to the second point: yaoi/BL/shounen ai are a genre that originated in the 1950s-70s in Japan as a response to the FEMINIST SEXUAL EMANCIPATION MOVEMENT, this genre is a response to conventional porn (aimed at satisfying the male gaze) and a conceptual exploration of femininity. The "male" characters in these texts function more as a "third-sex" so to speak; they embody and represent - dare I be so bold - the 'feminine condition', and remove that barrier of 2-dimensional female characters in texts; replacing them with these obscure male characters that do not conform to male stereotypes or the conventional form of masculinity. This comments are not unsupported: I would recommend that all of you actually review the historical significance of the text you are "slandering" or at the very least writing "libellous" falsities about.
This leads me to an actual interaction with the text: of course non-con and rape are displeasing (actually revolting) to read about, but in my opinion the author does not write about such concepts in a positive manner. Quite the contrary: I think that she is actually using Souchii as essentially a 'medium'. I mean, how many women are subject to this kind of revolting conduct: we are constantly pressured into sexual favours by men, forcefully or otherwise. The author does not romanticise the conduct, rather she - in tandem with a character conflict plot centre - actually delves into the taboo as a feature of the BL genre. Of course, that appears to turn this text into something of scholarship, which personally I think is ludicrous. It's a lighthearted comic full of comedic exchanges, non-conventional romance and - though it displeases me to phrase it this way - BL tropes (including, but not limited to, non-con and rape themes).
All I am requesting is that before deeming this text to be a romanticism/endorsement of sexual assault (a very bold statement to be making a may add) please consider that society requires discussion and exploration of taboo topics, simply burying or avoiding something does not stop it from existing. Gosh, I've gotten terribly serious here, but I really do feel that the author needs to be defended. It's this kind of thinking that results in blanket repression that damages creativity and thought patterns.
So, please, read the series in context with the genre. And stop beating up a text you obviously don't understand.
