Mehso-so

Aresh, gah, Seiichirou is a grown man, you can't do this. I really wish this was seen as a bit more problematic by the story.

I'm still really curious how things are going to turn out, and I'm ordering the light novels, but I'm gonna have to be clear in my full-length reviews that there is definitely ick -- questionable consent (sex to save Seiichirou's life) and Aresh constraining Seiichirou's freedom for his own good.

shanaqui I enjoy them a lot, but I can't give it a pick at this point without feeling like I'm wholeheartedly endorsing something that's actually quite ick.

The sex is kind of dubious on both sides (Aresh has some feeling that he's the only one who can save Seiichirou, both times they actually have penetrative sex), but then becomes a little coerced... along with just about every other interaction they have. 1/2

shanaqui It may be that we're supposed to see that Seiichirou actually likes it, and that he could put a stop to it if he really wanted to (in fact I'm certain he could given his other allies), but that really doesn't come through enough explicitly on-page. 2/2 4d
