Fushigi Yuugi, up to volume 10.

People had told me that this series stopped being a romantic comedy after a few volumes, but... I didn't expect all the villains to start raping the heroes to destroy their magical powers. I mean, I guess I can see it happening once, but it's become a recurring theme. They're literally standing around and discussing the finer points of the use of rape as a weapon, as characters in a shounen manga might discuss chi blasts.

...when I put it that way, it becomes clear to me that this manga is Sugar Sugar Rune's evil grandma.

It seems like ALL of Yuu Watase's manga carry that theme at one point or another. It's kind of hilarious. XD Her yaoi manga, Sakura Gari (which is quite good, actually), basically has rape at the main theme...

It makes me wonder about her sometimes.
