Line 7:
** It was rape anyway, {{spoiler|because she was blackmailed (Shion's POV)}} but Mokuren is so pure that {{spoiler|her [[Virgin Power]] doesn't disappear and she can love and forgive Shion, which makes it ok. Interpreted by everyone including Shion as [[Rape Is Love]] to their dismay.}}
** Eventually everyone's memories more or less clear up. Looks like {{spoiler|it wasn't rape since both genuinely love and want to be with each other. Shion however didnt realize that Mokuren's feelings were so simple, instead choosing to believe that he manipulated her into bed with blackmail. (which would make him a bastard) Mokuren was temporarily swayed by [[Peer Pressure]] to consider that maybe she ''was'' raped. But she wasn't. Probably? We hope.}}
** an interpretation that [[Rape Is Love]] was played straight: {{spoiler|Shion tells Mokuren that he loves her and wants her to prove herself by coming to see him in his confinement cell and if she does he will admit his fault and work with the others on the Moon Base. However, as Mokuren learns too late, he does not love her, which leads to her trying to resist his advances but failing. His real goal was to have his way with her in order to claim her virginity before Gyokuren, his bitter rival, and to [[Virgin Power|remove her blessed status as a Kiches Sarjalian]].}} So his rape was never ''about'' love. However, the manga does not fully subvert the trope because
* [[Tear Jerker]]: ''A lot''
* [[The Woobie]]: Shion: ''absolutely nothing'' went well for him, leading him to be a [[Jerkass Woobie]] first and a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]] in the end.
