Little Rant ! Chainsaw Man chapter 167 ! (spoilers)

So about Chainsaw Man chapter 167, I find it shocking people truly debate if it was SA or not.

Let me make it clear; yes. Yoru grabbed Denji without his consent and kissed him without it. Yes, Denji was blushing and kissed her back. Yes, he did enjoy it (he's even blushing). No, that doesn't mean it wasn't assault though. Especially as it's clear Yoru probably would've made moves on him regardless.

However, I also agree that Yoru wasn't doing so with malevolent intent. Sexual assault happens frequently, even in anime, with no malicious intent. Look no further than Harukana Receive (Clarie and Emily slapping each other's butts) or Akame ga Kill (Esdeath and Leone towards Tatsumi).

If Denji freaked out and started grabbing Yoru's body and kissing her, it'd be agreed to be a SA scene. Yes he wasn't raped, and no, I don't believe Yoru had any evil intent. But the scene is still 100% assault.
