I can't remember exactly who recommended me this series, but Kaede's story intrigued me a lot. I really would like to see how the author moves forward with the complexities of sexual assault, the first romantic relationship and PTSD.
I found the last chapter really impressive, specifically in the part where Tsubasa mentions that she understands Kaede's situation and his reaction to her support really rang a bell with me.

I've often struggled with Boy Love mangas due to how often they include large age gaps and tip toe (or dive right in) around consent. Too often these stories include rape it in without considering it rape.

I found this book reading through conversations about how problematic BL mangas are, and after reading vol 1 I am happy that this story was made. In Sensitive Boy, we explore a story of what it may feel or be like for a male victims of sexual assault, by a woman, the trauma, the struggles, the healing process and additional double standards/dismissal that male victims experience.

If there was a way to give 10 goddamn stars to this manga, I would. In the age where almost anything is fetishized in popular media, it is so refreshing to read story about sensitive themes and topics done by author which handles them... well, very sensitively. (No pun intended.) But be ready for having depression after reading this.
