Unfortunately it's readers often can't tell the difference, or else they won't think since it happened in the manga that is supposedly realistic and mature and complicated it must be acceptable, instead that since it's realistic and mature and complicated something can happen in the story unchallenged and still be wrong and messed up.

Hence why people would try to excuse Takumi's raping cheating abusive ways and convince themselves that he must love Hachi deep, deep, deep down his heart because this is a shoujo manga so the heroine must choose the right guy and he must love her and they can't split up because shoujo mangas have happy endings and the way it end up to be must be the way life should be.
