Love stage use rape scene, sexual assault, and manipulations for its plot
The love stage starts quite interesting. We have a gender intrigue here, where the main character thinks he has fallen in love with a girl who is actually a boy. Sounds interesting enough? But the show will show you that such a seemingly ridiculous idea for a romantic comedy can be spoiled. When Ryoma learns that Izumi is a boy, he decides to rape him. Yes Yes. He's already getting started but gets hit by Izumi's brother's friend.
After this incident, Ryoma locks up in a room and cries for several days. Then comes to his brother who knows Izumi has been attacked and almost raped. Only the brother says he has nothing to worry about, starts to blame him for not leaving the room, and it's actually normal for a guy to get horny when they lick his nipples. Brother doesn't mind the rape of Izumi. Better to blame the victim. Then Ryoma stalks Izumi, then apologizes to him. And they start dating. Dating your rapist according to the show is very romantic. And it's okay after that, but one day Izumi sleeps over with Ryoma and Ryoma, and while he is asleep, he starts kissing Izumi many times. The second scene is a complete failure. In the next episode, Izumi tells Ryoma that he can do whatever I want with him. Izumi is exhausted by this idiot apparently and his mental state is terrible. Ryoma kisses him and Izumi lies down, cries, and doesn't move. Ryoma gets pissed off and blames Izumi for taking advantage of his feelings.
Another victim-blaming scene. Then we have the typical crumbs of life again, and practically nothing interesting happens except that Izumi understands that he loves Ryoma, so he runs to his house and on the way, a group of people attack him and try to rape him. Jesus Christ, why is everyone attacking Izumi in this show? It's disgusting. It doesn't come to that and Izumi says that he wants sex with Ryoma. Ryoma is happy and says he won't stop having sex if Izumi changes her mind. And towards the end, Izumi says that he has changed his mind after all and he doesn't want to and he changes his mind, but Ryoma manipulates him and says that he is cute and he wants to know more about him. It's disgusting. From this show you can understand that:
It's normal for a family to forgive the rape of a family member.
It's normal to stalk someone
It is normal to tell a sexual assault victim that they are exaggerating and do not worry
It is normal to manipulate someone
__It's normal to blame someone for your problems and actions

It's not a show is a documentary about the Stockholm syndrome.
