    Has the author ever explained why he wanted them to be middle schoolers?Β 

    I can excuse some highschooler fanservice, but middle schoolers? Really?

    It's literally an afterthought. They were going to be 16, but changed because of the genre's average age.

    So do I, but I at least acknowledge that it’s lesbian fetishism made for straight guys to jerk off to and that the reason I like the series is completely different from what the author actually intended.Β

    Having hardcore sex in your GL doesn't mean it was necessarily for straight men. It was straight up published in a yuri heavy magizine and was gaining steam even before the anime exposed it to a wider audience. It's like saying Taste of Legs, The Young Lady's Side Dish, or Shoujo Nyuumon was intended for men. It honestly sounds gatekeep-y when GL even before MahoAko had erotica WLW just like this.

    Saying its published in a yuri magazine means its not consumed by men is like saying its published in a yaoi manga means its not consumed by women. Guys fetishizing lesbians has been a tale as old as time, especially when many of them don’t consider queer love as real romantic love.
