Rouge Noir review

It's unfortunate that fairly beautiful art here is used for a cliché-filled and shallow story. The most upsetting (and unrealistic) part is the protagonist's "love" for a character who rapes her, I detail I disclose here mainly because I found the subject matter and its insensitive portrayal both tasteless and, perhaps more importantly for anyone looking into this manga as a potential "next read," incredibly triggering. I tried to finish this short series to see if there would be any redemption for this mangaka's choices, but I couldn't force myself to slog through any more rapist apologetics. I know this kind of story twist isn't entirely rare in manga, but it's a topic that other mangakas have handled with more sensitivity while also telling a better story with thoughtful characterizations.
