Just to bring this up, because some people don't really seem to realize this part: Kyouji from start to finish, let it be known that his intentions from the start was to KILL Shino. He built up an entire fantasy life of himself and Shino living in another world happily, and he intended to commit double suicide with her.

My perception from the novel was much less a rape attempt, and I felt the anime focused too much on the sexual aspect of it all. But this is probably just because Anime by nature is a visual medium, unlike novels, which have you focus specifically on what the author wants you to.

By the way, I don't think the mere mention of rape is 18+ content. Describing it in any kind of detail (like trying to describe what occured in Volume 11(?)) would be, but merely mentioning that it occured shouldn't be a problem.
