(Anonymous) 2013-03-06 12:46 am (UTC)(link)Synopsis Etc.
Basically: a timid high school teacher is attacked by thugs while walking home one night; a mysterious young man (who happens to be a werewolf) saves her. He is of course a new transfer student to her class. He does his best to stay out of shit but people sense his ~dangerous vibes~ and confront him all the time and everybody he know usually ends up crazy or dead. The teacher gets pulled in when she starts to fall for him and he pisses off the wrong BATSHIT crazy Yakuza dude. A brutal gang kidnaps her to lure the werewolf into their trap and kill him.
The characters are interesting and the violence is apt for a werewolf story (even if the werewolf is the least violent person in it). BUT toward the end the teacher is gang-raped by her kidnappers for a long, long, detailed, horribly glorified, long time. (Even worse for the fact she was already a rape victim and had a psychotic break from the experience.) It's a shame because it was a good manga until then, it was good after, and it probably would've still be good with it had the rape scene been brief and effectively handled and not turned into a lengthy torture-porn hentai that totally derailed the story.
tl;dr Yeah, OP, I really liked it on the whole, but it had some really, really skeevy problems. I don't know if I'd read something else by the same mangaka.

(Anonymous) 2013-03-06 03:57 am (UTC)(link)Sorry, but I don't understand how anyone who likes this thing can possibly look past that. Those were some of the most disturbing manga pages I've ever seen.
Even if the manga has an anti-rape message overall (as TV Tropes attempts to argue), the way they created rape spank fodder for their male audience completely devalues it.
DISTURBING STUFF AHOY

There was one other brutal scene in the same manga that lasted maybe two pages and conveyed just as much horror without any of the fetishism. I imagine that's what people expect out of an 18+ seinen. Not a volume's worth of whaaat-the-hell.
