Had I known it's about rape I hadn't touched this one. Such topics always drag me down, and I'm not reading yaoi for that.
However, this one volume left me thinking that no matter how I may think about violence and other people from the outside judge about it, it can be completely different for the people involved. Some people forgive and some can't even understand such people who can. And thinking about that means to try to understand (which is always better than just to shook it off).
Also it doesn't need violence to render someone defenseless, guild seems to work just as well or even better.
I liked its art, kind of character presentation and setting very much. It shows adults that look like adults, live like adults and behave like adults and except for the flashbacks its stage was a bus.
For that and for changing my point of view temporary and thinking deeper about prejudgment I gave it an 8. Maybe it managed to pull that off because it was realistic.
If someone knows more mangas of such kind (no rape pls), please leave a private message.
As for the story and its progress, well like wyldfae below me it also didn't touch me much but enough to sympathize with both. And the only deep thing it had were the thoughts it left me with. And that was worth it.
Normally a yaoi leaves me with something else XD
