I was thinking back over my past reads and there are two manga whose names I can't recall.
The first is a humorous, likely shoujo, series I read a few chapters of once. A girl is stressed and I believe a little prudish, and she somehow winds up going to some sort of "therapy" club. This club is all guys and they use aromatherapy and massage to relieve stress (though the club president isn't ashamed to admit he created the whole thing so he could use it to do dirty things to girls). He starts going through pressure points to relax and arouse her, and he flips a switch he shouldn't have. The girl pounces on him and demands that he go all the way, and would probably rape him if he didn't know a pressure point that could bring her back to her senses. The rest of what I read basically has the club trying to help her get over her frustrations so minor provocation/arousal won't turn her into a maniac, with so far little success.
The second manga is much more serious, and relatively short. The story is centered around a girl who suffers date rape. I recall the guy having a knife. Afterward when she tries to report it she's warned during the process about what I believe they called "second rape", referring to varieties of victim blaming likely to occur as well as potential stress and trauma that may come from being forced to relive the experience in front of a court and the defendant. Only other thing I recall is she decides to go through with it regardless.

Sorry, no idea what the first one is 🙁 but I'm almost positive that for the second one, you're referring to the fifth(?) story in Kakene Nashi no LOVE Torihiki .

Yes, that's the one. Took only a couple pages to recognize it. Now to just find the other one.

Thank you. And I'd forgotten that I'd finished it. The end just came so fast and without all that much resolution (just barely enough, but still a little less than I'd hoped).
