Although the storyline from what I've seen is definitely a turnoff to a majority of audiences who are close-minded.

No, it's because they read seinen manga and have seen it a billion times already. And it also depends on how the story plays out, GTO was rather successful even though it carried out themes such as rape, drugs, violence, etc. etc. However, it wasn't really a romance manga like this one to begin with. I don't really think it's a case of "close-minded people", more like it needs time to be accepted in a shounen magazine by the audience for a shounen manga which carries out such themes.
I had a feeling the author is a woman. I must say, even though it's her first manga, she seems very talented.
