*** It's more a case of different values. In Japan, homosexuality isn't nearly as serious as it is here. A lot of kids shows and manga have homosexuality in them, just as long as it isn't explicit. There is quite a few works by female artists that have lesbians in them. [[Fan Service]] is also just [[Fan Service]]. It's not like he's drawn anything in detail. There is quite a few [[Shoujo]] with far more graphic ''female'' nudity than anything we've seen of the guys here. He also seems to be putting in a bit of [[Fan Service]] for males in the recent chapters as well. I mean, what other possible reason could he have for making Machi go from "above average" to [[Gag Boobs]]. The reason for the vast difference in types of [[Fan Service]] may be that Takei isn't comfortable with sexualizing the female characters. Most of them are techinacally underage. Not all male manga artists want to put ridiculous big breatsted 14 year olds in their works. Although I have no idea if Takei is really uncomfortable with it or not. |

*** True, but Takei could have easily found another way for Rune to become Jealous' master. He could have made Rune Yamato's warlord rival in the past, or a member of his bandit group who was secretly jealous of Yamato having Ultimo. Instead, he had Rune be [[Gender Bender|a princess]]. I think people are more bothered that it had to go ''this way'', instead of other countless backstories Rune could have had. |

*** Takei probably wanted to shock us, and makes us wonder what will happen next. I mean, I'm pretty sure nobody was expecting princess. I will agree, he did start to take it too far. His backstory tends to fall into "[[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made |
*** Takei probably wanted to shock us, and makes us wonder what will happen next. I mean, I'm pretty sure nobody was expecting princess. I will agree, he did start to take it too far. His backstory tends to fall into "[[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|were drugs/alcohol involved]]" for some people by the sounds of it. (Including myself when I first heard it.) |

*** No. It would just be a little strange, considering the norm. How many uncloseted, gay, shonen manga-ka can you name? |
