Minor: Misogyny

I love the characters and the story, but god the fan service and the misogyny keeps growing and growing in these damn books. I do acknowledge the year they were written in, but at the end of the day we are talking 2011 not the 1980s. Some stuff, innuendos shouldn’t really be a thing. They add NOTHING to the manga itself.

The misogyny in this series just gets worse with each volume, this one even included the "😭 I've been friendzoned".

I did like a couple of the jokes though, like Yukio saying he isn't a character in a manga.
