He doesn’t even properly end up with him either in the first game…īecause I was very curious about Shiki’s so called character development as said in the last statement I listened the Drama CD on Youtube along with some nice people’s translation. Fans loved Shiki because he’s badass, hot and gives both pain and “pleasure" to Akira when he held him captive while they hate Mink because not only he’s more scary than attractive for most people but also doesn’t quite give Aoba “pleasure" as he sexually assaults him. I’d say Mink and Shiki are the polar opposite while having a bunch of thinks in common, such as abducting the MC and abusing him. Why so much love for someone who sound so despicable? Because his character, personality and design were tailored to fit your standard fangirl fantasm. So here a Troper stated how Mink seems to get most of the fandom’s hate, then someone else pointed out how another character, Shiki from a N+C’s previous game, got a huge fanbase despite, or maybe for having repeatedly raping the protagonist’s body and mind and marking him as his property. Especially if you listen to the Drama CD which is in Shiki’s point of view, it turns out he ad libs through much of his interactions with Akira.

If raping Aoba, continually abusing him wasn’t bad enough, he is the least romantic. What is written about Mink is aso quite… interesting. Then there’s the YMMV (Your Mileage Might Vary) section where Tropers put less objective, often more personal opinions on the fiction. It’s okay to call him Jerkass and blame him for the horrible things he did to Aoba but I’m probably not the only one who think Hidden Heart of Gold and Broken Bird would be appropriate tropes for him too. In comparison to the rest of the main cast, I find his character description to be relatively… emplty. So why, GOD WHY people keep calling him Bastard Boyfriend and/or Wife Beater? They may have shared the same roof for a few days but were by no mean in an established relationship. He’s not interested in Aoba in a romantic or perverted way.

Why would Mink be a Bastard Boyfriend (or a Wife Beater as some people call him) when he doesn’t even fit the “Boyfriend" part? I mean, during the Platinum Jail events he just uses Aoba as a tool for his own convenience in order to get his revenge and the poor MC is full aware of it.

He also rapes Aoba twice during his route and beats the living crap out of Aoba when he protests.Not to mention it was his fucking fault Aoba was practically gang-raped in the Common Route. Bastard Boyfriend: Throughout his route he does next-to-nothing but abuse Aoba, physically or otherwise.The thing that caught my attention when reading the DRAMAtical Murder page is what some (not all) Tropers think of Mink.
