So ... I respect those in the comments who are super aware and sensitive to such topics.

It's just when you look at the theme of this series as a whole, this was an obvious forced drama bait that didn't fit in at all.

I dare say, this is a femdom fantasy trying to pretend it's a vanilla tsun love story.

It's a light hearted,
It stopped being light hearted when for some reason the author thought it was a good idea to shackle Shirota to FMC in a disgusting way. What is there to take lightly when the guy got falsely made into rapist, in that scene there were students looked at him in a compromising position, accused of trying to rape a girl, got physically hold down, had police called on him, in that very moment I'm sure, Shirota already thought his life ended. Then he got "saved" by accepting into slavery. If the manga was interesting, then we would have a protagonist being in fear of his life, there this crazy woman who doesn't hesitate to ruin someone's life, his life, and now he has to obey the girl because who knows what can she do to him. Instead, we're supposed to pretend something heinous didn't happen in chapter 1, that the manga is a simple romcom, FMC being a bitch to Shirota and Shirota is the usual dense romcom protagonist and we should laugh about that.

You're one of those--taking this too seriously. I'm not going to join you.

No :facepalm:I don't take this manga seriously, because it's been made painfully clear there is nothing to take seriously. I criticize the way the author did in chapter 1 that absolutely ruined the lightness part of the manga, if this manga was meant to be light in the first place.

You're saying things one way but your actions imply something else. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Fine, but since you wrote that I seem contradictory, I'll clarify that:

Chapter 1 of this manga ended in a seriously negative note, Shirota is a slave to a girl who trapped him. If this was a serious manga, the story would have been dark, with the protagonist is fearing for his life and he would probably trying to find a way to get away from her.

Instead we've got nothing but romcom chapters, we're getting quality fan service, the artist is good on that for sure, Takamine seemingly having feelings for Shirota and trying to entice him, but he is the usual dense romcom protagonist. It's light and fluff, even if the FMC's personality is crap. Chapter 1, the chapter that introduce the plot is absolutely not in line with how it ended and how light the manga is. The author could have done in any light manner to involve both characters, but he decided to coerce Shirota instead and I'm saying this is an awfully out of place scene for a light romcom.

Nah, turning this into a misunderstanding was a stretch. I went back to chapter 44 and Akimishi said "Should I force her into accepting me?" Even if he truly only wanted all along to simply court her, he should have just took the L after so many rejections. Thinking that the word 'No' is something to be overcome is toxic and dangerous, a big tenant of rape culture.

The author clearly wanted to bait us and Shirota, hence the NTR drawings of Takemine during the overheard convo.

At least, that had the merit to have someone voice to his thick face that Shirota likes Takemine, plus he could even see that she cares about him and was worried. Kinda redeeming a side character wasn't really necessary but I guess it was to keep things light and not have to deal with what to do with a rapist in the making
you're working off an english translation
連れ去っちゃおうかな
could be interpreted as "persuade her to come with me" or "take her away"

no shit the author wanted to bait people though, problem? :p

But its not and I question how people after 46 chapters keep going over about chapter 1, shouldnt they had drop it at this point?

The thing is, Takamine did that to put Shinota in a position were he wouldnt refuse after she tried a more normal approach, there is also the question if she would actually gone with it if he still refused that is very unlikely, or that she even had planed that before and wasnt something she come up in the moment.

Why are people so hang up this isnt some incel revenge fantasy? There are plently of those already and there is nothing wrong with then but complaining this aint one after so long have grown tiresome, its never going to change ... why dont drop it? I dropped series before instead of going into comments every chapter about the series not being what I wanted for it to be, I rarely comment about even dropping a series and kinda needs to do something rather annoying for me to do that.

as this manga goes on I just keep reading it because I started it not because I enjoy it, it seriously gets worse every single chapter man... And when is she going to apologize for accusing him of rape in the first place, I cant believe this fucking dumbass is okay with a girl who treats him unequivocally like garbage every single chapter AND accused him of rape...

It has nice art and fanservice, I consume the manga that way, since the author went with romcom despite chapter 1.

The thing is, Takamine did that to put Shinota in a position were he wouldnt refuse after she tried a more normal approach, there is also the question if she would actually gone with it if he still refused that is very unlikely, or that she even had planed that before and wasnt something she come up in the moment.
If this manga was serious, then Shirota should have been traumatized by what FMC did. Make no mistake, FMC is abhorrent narcissist who didn't hesitate to ruin Shirota because she has use for him to her benefit, her a superior being and him something of a commoner compared to her. You are not a good person if the action you take after being refused is to somehow trap someone into accepting your deal. I don't know why people can't appreciate the dire situation Shirota lived through, people just dismiss it being the manga is nothing more than a light romcom.

Why are people so hang up this isnt some incel revenge fantasy
Who is this aimed for? I'm not asking for revenge crap. The only thing I deplore is the author could have some good psychology manga with the way he did chapter 1 (like how Shirota is gonna live with being a slave to a psychotic girl), but he went with romcom instead, so romcom is what we get.

Wow so not only this super anticlimactic, cliché, and stupid, but also feels like the author is heavily misusing a serious situation just to have an excuse to draw main girl in a special dress.

It’s disgusting and disappointing. It’s fine to use a situation like this in order to convey a message, however to just bait n switch it to “haha misunderstanding” just feels like the author is mocking potential victims.

This chapter really rubbed me the wrong way

It's not a mystery why it's still grinds their gears 50 chapters later. People can be sensitive and some types are more sensitive than others. I fully agree though. The series has been what it is for so long, yet we're still getting essays from people about the "unjust, evil woman!"

It's either you're down or you're not, by now. I never understand sticking around to complain about the same shit, volume after volume. I can't be bothered by anything enough to need constant venting. So maybe I'm just not the type. But those who are the type aren't a mystery.
