Morimoto is a scumbag. You don't need communication skills to tell someone you like them. But, it's hentai, so the modus operandi for most horny, shy Protag-kuns is to molest/rape, backpedal whilst continuing to molest the victim when caught, then shamelessly blurting out the L-word; as if that is an excuse for not getting consent in the first place. But it's an escapist fantasy, /shrugs for us all being pieces of poo.

I, too, missed Cuvie works. Kinda dislike how this one hits me, but I'm a vanilla addict. /me goes back to rooting around the Fakku Search function for more saccharin relationship stories to make his heart ache with loneliness.

Them "going out" doesn't actually exonerate his actions though does it? By that standard, if he abused her but was married to her "at least they were married, otherwise yikes!" wouldn't sound like something you'd want to get caught saying. I understand all of this is fantasy but stories mean something and this narrative gives the male character a pass, justifying his actions first by establishing she is allegedly reckless for napping in a common space. Of COURSE taking a nap alone is an obvious invitation! Of COURSE wearing underwear that can be seen when someone is looking (up your skirt!) is a universal invite to grope/ fondle/ probe/ fuck them without any other communication. Of course. That reinforces the lie that if a man feels tantalized or otherwise aroused by a woman going about her life in any way, the male is not responsible in any way for his subsequent behavior. That's BS! And so prevalent a cop-out for predators that you wouldn't want to validate it further by reproducing it here for "entertainment". Cuvie is of course free to artistically express herself in any way FAKKU and the law allow but I still ask why this narrative, from this perspective...? Why reaffirm wrong thinking? Why reward bad behavior?

As I note in another comment,
this is a "rape cute" scenario,
which qualifies as "vanilla."

When you're on a site that provides fap fuel,
always side with your boner. Fuck principles
and morality.

Cuvie-sensei is one of those artists with range, man. I find myself taking a second look at tags and clichés she's tackled view the pure skill she uses.

"Trust Your Feelings." 😌

We should always be cautious when it comes to drawing conclusions
about foreigners based on their taste in porn (which can be insightful,
of course).

Some tropes may reflect real-life sexual activity, while others reflect
wishful thinking. For example, the Japanese love the paizuri trope---
in a country where the average woman is too small-breasted to give
a proper titfuck.

Personally, I've always wondered if the Japanese do as much fucking
in karaoke boxes in real-life as they do in hentai.
