Thank you. That right there is the deal-breaker. Why is it so damn hard for a BL manga to have a consensual relationship? Nearly everything I've read (or attempted to, rather) involves non-con or dubcon sexuality. It's getting to the point where I want to just give up on the genre. This story actually sounded rather interesting until I saw this note.

It's unfortunate, but sex and violence are biologically linked:

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v470/n7333/full/nature09736.html

Though it's easy to see why the mingling of the two is ideologically off-putting.

What the hell? Why would you even post that?

Why not? I'm not excusing a lack of self-control; I just find it interesting to discuss that which rape is based on. And I do think it's important to develop an empirical understanding of sex and sexuality.

Oh wow, I didn't realize this was even licensed! Yuuutsu na Asa is a great series. Akihito will slowly get Katsuragi to break out of his shell in the future volumes, and Katsuragi's past will be discussed as well. Once you learn about his past you'll understand why he's so cold to Akihito, etc.
