I used to think the same way you do because I had only skimmed through it without paying close attention to the details of the sex scene.Why are people even bringing up rape lol. Sakura was lifting her dress so he could lick her tits, undressed and went to the bed. Then she let him hit all night? This rape stuff is straight delusional
However, after seeing numerous Japanese comments said rape rape and rape and those comments were quickly deleted within about an hour. I became curious what web admin tried to hide. I went back to reread the scene in details and even did some research, only to discover that those Japanese comments were right. I was wrong! I jumped to a conclusion though I didn't read it carefully.
I don't know how the laws in other countries define rape but under Japanese law, it is definitely classified as rape. The fucboy has no way to wriggle out of it.
This shows us again and again that Airi Katsura (sensei) did a lousy job with the storytelling.
She applies the habits of writing doujinshi to her manga without realizing that doing so in a commercial manga is illegal.
She also seems to confuse the character Iida from Karami Zakari with Sakura from Grapara are the same person, resulting in a jumbled mess where the characters are all mixed up.
As I’ve said before, Iida’s mother and Sakura’s mother are twins. It’s as if she simply copy-pasted the exact same character into different stories without making a single change!
Again, there were Japanese people who were aware of this rape law which is a recent one. Then they spoke up about it but all their comments were deleted.
Sorry to say this. Please re-read it again. Sakura didn't do what you accused her. She just gave up to resist like @diphuc1 said. And according to laws, it's a rape like Japanese people told. We're foreigners, we don't know.She undressed, made out with him, went to the bed, let him have is way and NEVER said no, wtf is this delusional bs some people are talking about. Holy hell. Never cried, struggled, fought back, wasn't drugged.
