| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I'm rewatching this anime, and its suprising how surpirsed Thomas is. Thomas looks good in the anime, though i still dont see much resemblance between him and Rui |
 |
| Makino is so naive sometimes seriously.... I wonder what is Sakurako up to by teaming with Thomas. That girl was suspicious from the beginning and it's not just a coincidence that Thomas is living with her~ |
 |
| @sayami i wasn't even thinking about that lmao! i was more concerned at the fact that she got raped and she shrugged it off like some kind of mosquito bite. i don't know if it's because of the oldness of this show or what, but that reaction is just unrealistic for a high school girl like makino. |

No it's not unrealistic - it's worse today, in every sense of the word. Girls today in the West are pressured, harrassed and bullied to perform sexually and don't even know if it is rape or not. It is much more of a taboo for a girl to marry a responsible man and to have a responsible relationship than to have sex with irresponsible men. It puts me off completely. It's like watching Nana. The moment the girl starts having sex like its nothing completely ruined the romance even if like in this case she was stupidly raped without knowing or feeling anything - it's almost as if she actually liked it, which she did. Those 3 girlfriends encouraged her and even let her go to have sex with someone else like it's nothing, they probably admired her and cheered her... Sorry, call me sexist but seeing women acting like that just puts me off completely. The next thing now is for her to get pregnant. Domiouji [albeit a jerk in his own right] will be devastated and probably hate her when he learned about it - just goes to show how a woman's past may affect a man in the present whereas the other way round is not true no matter what feminists argue or not. Call me old fashion if you will but I prefer to stick with silly girls like Sailor Moon and her friends. |

| Oh the drama. I have to say, I'm disappointed with Tsukushi. Not only does she go along with the bitch trio, but then, as mentioned above, she seems to shrug off being date raped. It was bad enough that she seems to be too easily getting over the incident with Tsukasa assaulting her. The more I see him the more I feel like he was just being a stupid ass and thought she'd give in because she really wanted to do it with him, but seriously she should have had the cops busting down his door. On another note, when Tsukasa finds out about Thomas, I predict there will be blood, and there will be lots of it. I can't wait to see how this all plays out. |

You realize that Thomas put a rape drug in Makino's drink, right ? And I totally missed the part where her "friends" cheered her. (I personnally thought they wanted to blackmailed her) |

| Everything seems so convenient, I feel like Sakurako is behind this, in the episode preview it even mentioned moving like "puppets on a string". |
| God Tsukasa is SO oblivious and dense it's hilarious😂 When the other F4 members were hinting at him losing his V card and he's completely clueless, I can't haha. "She was choking me...she made me stay like that for hours. We were...in an elevator" *dead*😭😂😂😂 He's such a fun character to watch. The show would be so boring without him |

| Still believe it's more like a frame up than an actual rape. But this is pretty heavy on adult themes. I believe anime romcom today would be shitting their pants on this kind of frame up. But then we got this shield hero release on 2019 that made this kind of theme a joke. |
| Damn. Colour me surprised when the rape situation came up! I'm looking forward to how this turns out with Thomas and Sakurako, but damn, that scene where Makino remembers having a drink with Thomas, that he must have made, is too real. Even if it ends up that she wasn't raped, which I feel is the case because I can't imagine this show being that serious, she was still date-raped! He dropped something in her drink so she couldn't remember. Or... she was just drunk??? She was barely in the clubbing scene, so it is also possible that she blacked out because she has no experience with alcohol. Hmmm |
  |
| Ughhhhh I really hate a wolf in sheep's clothing like her... I forget how long the drama with her will be but hopefully it won't be too long... it makes me sick every time I see her acting so innocent |

| WATAFAK I just watched the episode and, even though I know how sexist Japanese culture can be, I still can’t believe the show doesn’t even try to address what happened to Makino. She was literally drugged and assaulted, and no one says a word?! We don’t know if it was rape or not, but the fact that she doesn’t even care is just wild. That’s the complete opposite of a realistic reaction. Makino is a virgin — just a few episodes ago she was freaking out about losing her first kiss with Domyoji, and now something way more serious happens and she’s just chill about it?? Nah, I’m not buying it. |
