I hope the author adds more rape so you stop bitching about this

A bit scared on where this is going to go but I'm locked in for the ride.🫡

Well here I am now, the rape chapter was very uncomfortable even by the standards of this manga and as of now it seems the author will forget about it for plot convenience. Saddening as the story was otherwise interesting

I'm not sure why everyone is predicting for the sister to do something that would deliberately sabotage Honjou.

While she was quite aggressive in a past apparition I don't remember getting the impression she was being deliberately malicious toward her sister.

This is kinda my take on it, too. We don't know yet what impact that night will have on the story, and right now, we're wondering if it's going to be addressed properly or minimized. I personally expect it to be addressed, but I can see it being left to simmer until a maximally dramatic point. (Honjou finding out, having the fallout cause problems for all characters both (inter-)personally and professionally, etc.)

Spoiler: Wall of text incoming . . .

What I'm getting tired of is the bickering each week, where everyone is trying to police how everyone else is supposed to feel about the story. It's a sensitive topic, and people are going to feel strongly about it.

It should be clear that Ekoda's behavior is inexcusable, from a real-world standpoint. And as we have no reason to think that the laws in-story are any different from the real world, even in-story, Ekoda seems to have broken multiple laws. Whether or not you (as a reader) are hot for teacher, what she did was rape.

However, from an in-story standpoint, I don't think either Ekoda or Shirasawa thinks of it as rape. At least, not yet. Ekoda did ask for his consent, after all. And he gave it. Now, he's still a minor, she holds a position of authority, and she used deception to get him drunk, but I don't think any of that is at the forefront of Shirasawa's thoughts about what happened.

Shirasawa feels betrayed, but at this point, I think that's because he knows Ekoda is only using him as a substitute for Saiga. On the other hand, most of his negative feelings are directed at himself right now. He feels like he's the traitor because he gave in to Ekoda. He betrayed Honjou and the feelings they have for each other and he betrayed his father and the principles of filmmaking that were handed down to him. It's self-inflicted victim blaming.

So, yes, he regrets it, but not because he thinks, "I was raped," but because he thinks, "I was weak." Now we, the readers, have to see where the story goes from there.
