LORD OF BOOTY posted:from the way everything's depicted, I honestly figured this was a shojo series and the audience was supposed to have more in common with Akira than with Kondo; it really seems like the series is more horny for him than it is for her. that would have been basically fine? like, a little offputting, but Not Horrible. but then, the manga is apparently published in a seinen magazine that also runs Inio Asano's newest work and the anime's on noitaminA, which tells me it's actually being targeted at middle-aged men who fantasize about banging high schoolers, because... I kinda get the vibe the teen-girl audience for artsy seinen manga and late-night anime is not huge Admittedly, the magazine this series runs in is fairly male-focused even today, but that doesn't necessarily mean this series is laser-targeted at adult men or anything. And even among series that do seem much more laser-focused at men, like Vinland Saga (which also runs in the same magazine as Houseki, coincidentally), they can attract fairly large female fanbases for a variety of reasons. And of the series currently running in the same magazine as this series, there's Asahinagu, a series about a girl's naginata club that has a stage play and a live action film. Those things are very common for things popular with women or that they see as having a big appeal with women, but are much less common for things that appeal to men. A ton of josei manga get them, not to mention shonen manga that are popular with women, like prince of tennis or fullmetal alchemist. I skimmed a couple of chapters just now, and I didn't see anything about it that'd turn women off. So it's safe to say there's at least one other series in the same magazine with a fairly female lean in terms of demographic.
