Really? The guy confessed to her and it seems like she was wide awake for everything (of course, not in the right state of mind.) I assume this is the case because the next day he thinks that he's Kotonoha's new boyfriend. She could have resisted but she didn't, so I don't consider it rape.

Well, it's uncertain, but somehow Kotonoha's clothes and pose suggest something. Either:
-She's broken down because of Makoto and care less about her looks. -She's been raped by Taisuke and the shock added to all that. Actually even if it was a rape Kotonoha invited him and it can later turned out that way...in contrast with the scene seen in the VN. And actually Kontoha was rather nasty a way before the last episode in the anime. She was cruel with Sekai and accused her for everything...far from innocent. Not to mention her acts in the VN. In the VN Sekia was the "innocent" the one without much malacious intent, while Kotonoha turned out much more vulgar and direct(for example:'Carnal Desire' ending) But it's Makoto's thread...I know honoring him is out of question, but at least we should honor the forum rules |

And u say she could have resisted but didnt... would u "forcefully have sex" with a girl that told u clearly she didnt like u / liked another person ? and while u are "forcefully doing it with her" she is crying and saying the name of her loved one? Man that is rape >.<

The next day Kotonoha even tells the guy "please forget about yesterday as well," which proves that she was well aware of what happened to her and she didn't show any signs of post rape syndrome. So unless you can somehow prove otherwise, I don't consider it rape.

She was raped because: 1) She clearly doesnt like him. 2) She tells him clearly that she loves Makoto and no one else before and after the rape. 3) She was clearly in shock after she was told that Makoto betrayed her and even after it. 4) Shock doesnt mean unconciousness 5) Sex means mutual concent. Katsura never agreed >.< 6) In case u didnt notice, she was already loosing it 7) She is the kind of girl that feels awkward even to allow her boyfriend / the person she loves, to hold her hand or touch her breasts... do u think she would concent to have sex with a guy she barely knows and clearly doesnt like? 8) And if all this doesnt make it clear to you that Katsura was raped.... well i have nothing else to say >.< PS: And i think that "rape" isnt a word i need to check on wiki in order to know what it means..... and if u actually read what u linked u would notice that she was the personification of all those symptoms... ill quote a sentence "The natural first reaction to a highly traumatic situation such as rape is to avoid it: by not thinking about it, not talking about it, even pretending it never happened." She tells Sawagara the following day : "Please forget what happened yesterday" with a blank face. She doesnt tell anyone what happened and acts as if nothing happened.

Well there clearly must have been some type of misunderstanding between Taisuke and Kotonoha because Taisuke doesn't act like he did something wrong (and he doesn't seem to be the type of person to rape someone either.)

There was definitly a misunderstanding from Taisuke's part but that doesnt make it more right >.< As i said before, just because u like a girl and u think she broke up with her boyfriend, doesnt mean u can fuck her. If u do that then ur are raping that girl -.-

I would also appreciate it if you could tone down your rhetoric because it's becoming disrespectful. Quote:

It depends on what we consider rape. I consider rape as a forceful sex with an unwilling partner...and it wasn't that.
Kotonoha was in her emotional downhill and Taisuke used this chance to get her. It wasn't rape because the other side wanted it too, but perhaps she minds it later. But that's all. It's not like Taisuke drugged him or anything. In the VN, yes he did that, but Kotonoha was unfair and a bitch to her too. She kept her feelings for Makoto and was unwilling to move on while he has him as a boyfriend. |

Speaking of Kotonoha, I've always wondered how she would respond if Makoto cheated on her with Sekai during the second or third episode and she found out about it, before her feelings were quite so intense. Would she have been more willing to dump him then? Would she have placed more blame on Makoto than she did during episode seven?

for me.. i think Sekai is to be blamed..
she encouraged Makoto to confess to Kotonoha knowing within herself that she loves him.. if she only encouraged herself to make Makoto notice her feelings without using lust.. after all Makoto became the way he was because of that "Practice" thing.. |

Yeah, the poor innocent boy was brought down from grace by the evil temptress...
Honestly, that's hogwash. Makoto did what he bloody well wanted, and not because Sekai lured him into the path of evil. He did the things he did because he felt like it. Yeah, he was a disgrace. But that was his own fault, not Sekai's. That's not to say she didn't have a hand in his derangement process, but I digress... she wasn't the sole responsible for it. Not by a long shot.

Sekai wasn't much of a bad influence. Her mixed messages were partially at fault, but the whole situation was quite messy in itself.
Makot simply did what the hell he wanted. He was impatient and Sekai had feelings for him which she slowly failed to contain and he choose the easier way. Every single time. It wasn't her influence, more like he realized how easily he can get cookies and he used that method not caring about the consequences. If anything Sekai is at fault for teaching Makoto such techniques. He used it later for his own enjoyment. He lacked self-control and willpower. That's all. |

How? Someone who believed himself to be a looser or at least someone barely popular with girls suddenly getting 4 love interests...if anything it probably gave him enough confidence. Also Sekai's advices and the things he learned by practice are turned out to be rather useful.
