I didn’t like the whole first sex scene to begin with, but that really raised my hackles. That’s made even worse by the scene immediately afterward where the secretary isn’t upset by anything except the fact that he can’t give the CEO’s son an heir. So it’s not super obvious that it’s rape, but there’s no actual consent from the secretary’s side of things, just attempts to stop him and then various noises. When the CEO’s son wakes up and sees that the secretary is gone, he’s immediately regretful for losing control. Then the secretary wakes up, doesn’t seem to remember a thing and only realizes what’s happened thanks to the semen coming out of his ass. I re-read the aforementioned scene, and basically the secretary gets pushed down, he tries to protest, but the CEO’s son doesn’t let him get more than a word or two out as he continues. Your lettering was superb, and you’re not responsible for what Miki Araya and her editors decided was a good story. Also, please don’t take my reviews of the content personally. I can only hope that I come across at least one volume in my 30 Day Yaoi Challenge with nothing that sets off my ick-senses.ĭon’t be embarrassed! I’ve worked in the industry and I can’t remember everything that’s ever happened in the manga I worked on either. I don’t want to keep talking and whining about rape, coercion and all the nasty tropes of yaoi, and I’m more than sure you don’t want to hear it for the next month. I’m going to keep Secretary’s Job? only because it did sort of redeem itself after the first story, but I feel like I have to apologize to you readers. Despite more pointy chin syndrome and at least one case of yaoi hands, the art reminded me a lot of Yasuko Aoike and her tendency to constantly draw wide, open mouths. The second one was similar, but with two college students who found themselves being drawn together despite one wanting to beat the other in a popularity contest. It could have gotten weird because the premise for them to get close was a bet to see if the regular employee could get the secretary in bed, but it wound up being heartwarming instead of forceful. Thankfully, the two stories didn’t tread into any icky categories at all! They were really cute! One, like the first story, was about a secretary and another employee getting together. (The attacker is the son of a CEO, therefore an heir would be needed.)ĪSDFJODISGHWEOIGN! Can you get more Stockholm Syndrome than that? Yup! The victim and the assailant get together after being torn asunder by a stupid misunderstanding on the victim’s part. But is he upset because he was raped? Nope! He’s upset because he can’t get pregnant and give his attacker an heir. To make matters even worse, the victim woke up from having been raped, didn’t even remember it, then put two and two together because he woke up with semen coming out his butt. But I guess I shouldn’t expect so much of yaoi manga. Can I have just ONE yaoi with no rape in it whatsoever?Īnd this wasn’t even a plot-centric rape scene like yesterday’s manga, Affair. It was pretty cute, UNTIL THERE WAS A RAPE SCENE, and then afterwards it was cute again.Ĭan I admit something to you? I am absolutely sick of talking about rape happening in yaoi. Okay, Secretary’s Job? was only half-lying. “This is going to be cute,” I thought as I bought it and when I picked it up again today. Just from the title alone I could tell that there would be no high school-ers involved, and because there were lots of smiling faces on the front and back cover. Let me start by telling you why I picked up Secretary’s Job?. Not that it’s going to be easy on me because I have 5 omnibus volumes of Kizuna in the mix, which means it’s going to be more like 38 books. That means we’re down to 33 books total for the 30 day challenge. Just a brief note: I decided to take Cafe Kichijouji De Volume 1 out of the challenge because, after reading it, I realized that it wasn’t yaoi or BL, it was just about cute guys being cute together.
