3: I haven't read it lately, and I never read all of it, but I don't think that's how the story went, actually. Yes, Ayase (the little guy) was raped repeatedly, but he really was forced to do it - he was being blackmailed.
Also, he didn't fall in love (at least not for a long time); in fact, he was a bit of a homophobe in the start, and then slowly learns that he was wrong about many things as he meets people who don't fit in the "normal" society.
He still, as far as I read anyway, really hated how he was made to feel (yeah, he enjoyed it physically, but he really didn't want it, so it's still rape). It's relly a rather twisted story.
67: Yeah, that's the problem; heterosexual love can have unrealistic love stories (you're not going to tell me that "Pretty Woman", for example, was a realistic tale of a prostitute, are you?) and fantasy worlds and sci-fi (where any sort of society could be created) that fits with their sexual leanings. Why can't we with homo-and bi leanings?
