Can you grow up and stop pretending people don't become the way they are for no reason at all? EXPLAINING what is behind a behavior and what events/elements in a person's background led them to be capable of said behavior is not the same thing as EXCUSING the behavior. Can you grasp that?

This does not surprise me. One of my few complaints about this series is that there is a great deal of inexplicable behavior. Why adapt a novel unless you're going to flesh things out more than what we're getting here in seven episodes?

And then how does an asexual person assault and supposedly rape someone? You have to have a bone to penetrate a person, a bone is a sexual thing. I suppose you younger ones have been taught otherwise though.

Who here has said Fuji is NOT abusive and controlling?

This is partly BS. Assault, which I'm not sure this was, is about control AND sex. To rape someone, a man has to get a boner, and a boner is what emerges as part of SEX.

It was not a convincing depiction of sexual assault. I'm still not sure they actually had sex, given where the scene ended. It's hilarious that in BL Land, a hickey on the neck = rape. lol

Please delete your bossy-ass comment. It's pretty stupid.

lol

Get over yourself. You're totally getting off on this plot line. What you think happened between Sei and Fuji is exactly what you were hoping for. Your preachy lack of self-awareness is hilarious. BTW, why are you even watching at this point? There's been plenty in episodes 1-5 to scare off anyone who claims to not want to see this type of thing. Relax and enjoy it...like Sei did.

hahaha...or you'll do what, Church Lady?

I get that you're on-trend with this BS thinking, but your saying something is so does not MAKE it so. How was it sexual assault if a conscious/sober person does not resist, verbally OR physically? Ever heard of body language. Sei's body language said, "...oh go ahead. I'm too bored with you to say no." That's consent, child.

YES. I'm not even certain they had full-on sex.

Are you CERTAIN that Fuji/Sei had sex? I don't think that's been made clear. And if they did, the idea that Sei couldn't have physically resisted Fuji is absurd. We all saw those nice pectorals on Sei; he's slender but not weak. If they did have sex, it's because Sei just let it happen out of apathy.

I wish the scene had gone on a bit longer because the last we actually SAW (as opposed to what you imagined in your head) was Fuji nibbling on Sei's neck as Sei lay there like a limp dish rag.

LOL

Standard MDL Church Lady Prude behavior: They bitch and moan about all the "problematic" behavior in series, but come back for more each week. It's likely they diddle themselves to sleep over it after each episode.

For me, that's a big part of what makes this show interesting.

Episode 6:
This show stresses me out and makes me horny, as do many great flicks and series. Bravo!

That said, there's a lot of unexplained/inexplicable behavior going on here, from everyone except Hagiwara, whose motivations seem clear, honest, and reality-based. As for Fuji and that GF, perhaps they should check into a long-term psychiatric facility together and get to know each other as they undergo diagnostic testing and long-term therapy. NO clarity on why they are the way they are, and with one ep left I don't think we're going to get any.

I suppose Sei has put his walls back up even higher, but after getting a taste of what he's wanted for so long, doing so doesn't make sense. I don't get the "why" of his resistance to Hagiwara.

I'm unclear on what exactly, went down between Fuji and Sei after all was exposed. If someone could advise me, I'd appreciate it. What did Hagiwara see on Sei's wrist the next day that indicated...something?

It's hard for me to buy Sei's helpless/frail/defenseless act; he's scrawny but as we've seen with his shirt off, he has major pectorals, which connect to the arms, which should render him able to fend off such aggression. That bit felt more like the standard BL ok-I'm-the-bottom-so-I'm-supposed-to-act-like-a-delicate-flower-in-a-Chinese-opera conceit. Lame.

This is far superior to most BLs in the intricacy of its plot lines, but this episode contained a shit-load of implausibles. It doesn't help that we have the standard Japanese reticent unwillingness to discuss anything frankly going on...they leave so much unsaid and what IS said is only half-there.

:D lol

"Dream on" is what the last straight boy said as I took his virginity. The ones who in the beginning object most vigorously, in the "end," whimper most gratefully. :)

Oh, that's what they all say... I'm totally good with bottoming but I bet if you and I join forces we'd have the BF's heels behind his ears before the night was over. And loving it. :) I know things...
