Friendship with extras.[edit]

> Erika Kizaki ... A girl from Tokyo and the first person who Komichi meets on her first day of school, quickly becoming her best friend

Rather best "friend" with " " shown Dr. Evil style... By ch.60 of the manga Erika has already confessed to Akebi, furthermore they practice how to kiss (nominally for a stage play for the school's cultural festival), while Akebi has promised to herself to learn what love truly is, in order to properly reflect Erika's sincerity. Yuri subtext / elements / bait they call it.

Akebi manga is considered controversial overseas, due to the creator's blatant foot fetish frequently on display (in a junior high school setting of 12.5 year old 1st-graders). This kind of criticism comes mostly from the anglophone sphere, while continental europeans and the hispanic sphere are less disturbed.

Meanwhile Akebi anime is notable for its consistently high quality, fluid and detailed true FHD animation of each episode, which is very much unusual among made-for-TV anime series. This property of Akebi is also paradoxical as the series was Studio Cloverwork's second-rate project to the (in)famous Bisque Doll franchise, produced and aired during the same season but with markedly lesser animation effort poured into it. 92.249.156.120 (talk) 22:13, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So what are you trying to discuss here? Do you have any source for any of these "controversy" claims? Talk page is to improve the article, not to discuss the series' content. This is not a forum. Xexerss (talk) 22:48, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would venture to guess that they are discussing the ships and the Internet controversy around the manga and its adaptation. If the question about ships is more or less clear, and despite the various yuri bait, we will continue to describe canon content and not fan speculation, then I would not refuse to describe the criticism of the show as a potential pedo bait. As far as I remember, quite a few resources discussed this. Solaire the knight (talk) 07:43, 15 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
