You forget the biggest "problem". Most of the cast are suposs to be middle schoolers.
Number one reason I'm concerned about the adaptation. Like these are 14 year olds and grade schoolers getting put in highly sexual situations. People are gonna talk MAD abt this
I mald so hard every day remembering BL and het series mostly get away with it but for some reason yuri has zero immunity
But at the same time I really would rather not have "basedlolicon1488" trying to defend something that's definitely too specific for them to truly enjoy
Edit: There's also the fact that 90% of the reason the cast is middle schoolers is because that's magical girl convention smh... if this started getting written after Hirogaru Sky now that it's got an adult in the main Cure squad it wouldn't be entirely tweens
I disagree that the series would work as well with adults. Underneath all of the perversion, MahoAko is a coming of age story — they "La Verita" (the Truth) when they accept something important about themself. And sexual development is super important in the 13-15 years. That isn't to say adults can't sexually develop, but from a thematic perspective, it works so much better with the characters being stereotypical magical girl age.
