A very simplified and shoujo-y take on trauma and healing

by tumultuousnesses
4 months ago

Rating: N/A

Themes of Trauma and Healing

The premise of the manga is hard-hitting, with the trauma of rape being briefly mentioned, but there are additional depictions of a non-consensual kiss and a few consensual ones, although nothing steamy (probably an age rating of 12+). The trauma is shown as multifaceted, with some gradual healing, but ultimately, the manga takes a simplified, immature, and very shoujo-esque approach to the healing process. This may trivialise the experiences of rape survivors, as it suggests that puppy love can heal trauma way too easily, but I guess this may appeal more to younger audiences. While the representation of trauma is shallow, it does somewhat convey how PTSD can manifest in different ways, such as androphobia, romantic repression, indecisiveness, and tsundere behavior.

Character Development (FL and ML)

Both main characters are immature, but given their teenage ages, this feels justified. In the first few chapters, my heart really went out to the FL and the angst in both her and the ML’s perspectives was done well. FL’s emotional responses, such as crying easily, are not due to weakness but are a trauma response. Her tendency to change her mind frequently also reflects the indecisiveness often seen in individuals with PTSD. Despite her pain, FL manages to laugh around other girls, demonstrating resilience. She also is unconscious (or perhaps self-repressed) regarding love. It was refreshing to see a shoujo FL with solid reasons for her characterisation, even if it was somewhat generic.

ML starts off as a bit of a jerk but becomes a whole lot more considerate after learning about FL’s trauma. While he makes a serious mistake (a non-consensual kiss), his confusion about her randomly emotional reactions is understandable. I dislike how this era of shoujo normalised and romanticised the pushy, reformed playboy trope, but thankfully, ML doesn’t really embody it. Though he’s forceful at times, his actions stem more from immaturity and ignorance than any malice.

Relationship Dynamics

A bit of stiltedness in character interactions is typical of this genre, so I didn’t mind it too much. The relationship between FL and ML devolves into typical shoujo bickering. It starts off complicated, with FL sending negative signals that frustrate ML. He tries to maintain physical distance, understanding that he makes her uncomfortable, but lapses into ignorance of her boundaries at times. There's a moment where he says, “It’s your fault for being so cute,” which, while meant to be immature, could be misinterpreted as victim-blaming. This lack of nuance is typical in shoujo, but I guess I can overlook it (albeit reluctantly).

The dynamic of persistent chasing after a love interest is a trope I’m not fond of. While it isn’t entirely one-sided (FL does approach him when he distances himself), I found it uncomfortable when ML grabbed her hand. That said, I appreciated the moment when ML says, “I’ll let you go, so don’t run away,” which shows his change in tact. Despite the flaws, the jealousy shown by both FL and ML was cute and added to the relationship development.

Side Characters

One downside is the lack of developed side characters and irrelevant inclusion of an audience in certain scenes. Other characters only serve as commentary on the main relationship or as observers of the couple's PDA, which felt a bit cringe.

Art and Perspective

The art style is a bit dated, and I never found facial expressions particularly clear. However, the dual perspective (alternating between FL and ML’s POVs) was a nice touch, adding nuance to their interactions. Episode 0, which provided additional context from ML’s perspective, was insightful. It revealed that he initially thought riling FL up would help them grow closer, but he eventually realised that his selfishness was hurting her instead.

Miscellaneous Thoughts

There are some tired tropes that detract from the experience, such as lewd comments about panties. Thankfully, it’s portrayed negatively (although it’s not great that ML lashes out at FL for being subjected to an unsolicited comment). The mention of a "rounin" was a term I didn’t know before. The author's analogies describing ML’s status in FL’s eyes—going from an insect to a pet dog to a guard dog to garbage—were a humorous way of illustrating relationship development. Additionally, it was funny how the ML really held onto that umbrella in the omakes. I also felt bad for the girlfriend losing out on her cake in Episode 0.

Moments

"Why do I have to be a girl? Why can't I be strong?"

"Men have such cruel power. It's scary. Very scary."

"Can't you tell when a girl doesn't want to be touched?"

"I can't stand the person I am now, who is always checking the color of the sky."

"If you're going to cry when you're alone, whether I'm here or not, I'll stay by your side."

"I can't let her hate me more than she already does."

Oneshot

The oneshot within the main story was a bit tropey, but alright. It was refreshing that FL was able to take a stand for herself and wasn’t immediately a fawning fan of ML. However, her change of heart felt sudden, and the romance that followed was jarring. A unique aspect of the oneshot was that the song ML sang was about searching for a future lover, since most songs tend to be about present loves. This future-focused theme felt more fitting for a young adult singer. FL’s advice that you don’t have to follow the script when singing a song was an interesting and insightful addition.

I was only reading the first pages because I couldn't move on when the heroine talked about herself being raped as if it was nothing THAT cruel.
How can one seriously pick up such a tragic topic and turn it into something like this?

wonderful male lead

First of all this is a very short manga with only 8 chapters for the story there is little that can be shown. The trauma of rape is both severe and painful. There is very little that can fully heal that trauma, but that is not what is being depicted here. What we have is a guy that is only related to her trauma by the resemblance to her attacker, which causes an instinctive reaction to him. We have here her overcoming her instinct not her trauma.

Every event depicted for the interactions between the two are both realistic and believable. The guy being rather aggressive in his pursuit of her until he finds out the cause and then berating himself for his aggressiveness. He then changes his tactic to gentle protection, warding off things that will cause her to relive the trauma. We see a moment of weakness in him when she gives him some trust in such a way that almost any guy in love would find it physically painful to refrain. There is a slow change in her as his constant gentle actions slowly work into her heart. Then we see her confusion as to why she is starting to be ok with him and why is she jealous of other girls getting near him.

We have no real clue as to how long the time frame is that this takes place in. Most likely less than a month seeing as the class project is still ongoing but still even if the time frame seems to be a bit rushed I think that how the events are portrayed are not unrealistic.

First if you are a guy wanting to obtain a girl that is reluctant you have to be a bit aggressive. This story I find to be fantastic. My personal opinion on rape is that all rapists should be shot. I am not trying to belittle rape victims but I think that I would want a rape victim to have a guy that was like this one to help her overcome her terror.

Seriously? this is a 2 volume manga, so if you're concerned about them falling in love too fast and her being a rape victim not being a 'bigger' issue then avoid.
But I'll say it again, this is a 2 volume manga ppl!! even if it dealt with less serious themes it will always be a fast romance.

With that said, I think this is a very nice manga. What I liked best about it is the male character. at the end of volume 2 there's a small reference to how he fell in love with her and all he did in order to get her to fall for him too. I think even the way she falls in love with him is believable coz I truly believe that ANY rape victim would like to eventually get over their trauma and live a 'normal' life again.

This is a nice short read.

Not an accurate depiction of a rape victim...

by workshyslacker

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

It was all right to begin with. You could see some of these events occuring between a rape victim and a guy who cared about her but by volume 2 it had lost what little sense of sensitivity and reality as it turned into your typical shoujo. (If I hear "It's just too embarrassing!" again I'll scream because - er - rape carries a lot more emotional baggage than embarrassment...)

Eden no Hana deals with the trauma of sexual assault (and implied rape) much more sensitively and the lead character's recovery is much slower

Having said that, some of the angsty moments in the first volume were done very well. You could feel the pain and misunderstanding from both characters. It was just too short otherwise it could have been a great manga. The romance was too fast and unbelievable.

On a side note, when did Aoki's art become so wierd? In Boku wa Imouto ni Koiwosuru Yori looks downright scary. This is one of her earlier works and the male doesn't look so bad.

Spare time read

by kichiX

Rating: 2.0 / 10.0

After having read Bitter Virgin, I find it hard to believe this depiction of a rape victim being able to fall in love in 9 chapters. I also find the main male lead arrogant and insensitive. But, if you 'forget' (i.e imagine she just has some ongoing phobia of boys) about the main character being raped, it is a good read if you've got spare time on your hands.

That was really an adorable story - i'm saying it as a person who hasnt finished the story yet, but I think that being a rape victim, and also falling in love with a boy with the same face is unlikely.BUT - even though she's slowly falling in love with him she's sometimes reluctant and pulls out her courage to even talk to a boy which is making the effort to pull this story into the romance direction - when we saw them in chapter 4, setsugu started to trust him, but he hugged her and she cried which i think was realistic because this showed she was still unsure C:

this ridicules the concept of rape. the girl is unbearably indecisive and its virtually impossible to love such a air headed, weak character. But I have to it i do like the male lead.

disappointing.

It was a good story but not much.

the plot was very good but I don't know... Maybe it hadn't enough action for me ? Anyway, I've been left unsatisfied. If you have nothing to read, go for this manga. It's the perfect shoujo.

P.S.: But I must it that the guy is so romantic ! ^_^
