** I completely agree about the fan service. But I went on. Heck, I like half-naked college girls. But when it devolved into half naked (or completely naked) twelve year olds, I dropped it faster then a hot potato. And to make it worse, if that is even possible, the twelve year old characters are blitheringly insane.
*** I didn't mind Chika's parts so much. Partly because I don't mind her character that much (I was surprised to see her listed in [[The Scrappy]] page), and partly ''[[Love Hina]]''-induced comedic ''ofuro'' fanservice desensitization (if it's supposed to be humorous, whether or not I find it funny, it doesn't bug me, since it at least ''has'' a purpose beyond titilation). That said, I ''do'' question some of the twelve year-old's scenes (like them watching porno)...
**** Were they quite that young? I got the impression of fourteen to sixteen, though I did begin to wonder, both about the manganka, and for that matter, myself. I will say, it was refreshing to *not* see Kaoru get the beatdown for all these sequences, with the girls actually recognizing their own roles in being exposed. As to cover art being a bit much, some of the ones for ''[[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]]'' are to fanservice what the story within is to horror, and many of those feature Nana and Mayu! Mayu-EL in particular is a girl I do not want to be thought of in that way. So while the covers for AYO went a bit there, they were not as bad as they could be. The intent might be less lecherous than 'appreciate the blossoming beauty of a young woman', but the half-off swimsuits and bathroom exposure scene did kind of throw me. SOT : I constantly hear the lament/joke in animanga after an exposure scene, particularly full frontal, that the woman 'can no longer get married' Precise genesis, anyone? A link will do.
**** Chika and her friends are not twelve. They were at the youngest late middle school, but as I recall they were in high school as of their first appearances. The perceived youth may be because the main cast is drawn similarly to high schoolers (and early college students) from series like [[Love Hina]] (early on) with characters like Chika being middle schoolers. In fact, the reason Chika moved to the house may have been her starting at a nearby high school.
* Why, if he was an heir born of marriage, was the other Kaoru not automatically in line above our Kaoru? If Kaoru-1 was technically a bastard, then the asshole granpa should have excluded him from the start.
