- I write:
- # In the manga, there are several scenes where it is clear that Akane is
- # sexually attracted to Madoka. The most obvious example is in
- # "Kiken-na Futari", hardcover volume 7 page 156. Another good example
- # is in "Mokugekisha Akane", volume 5 page 72. Funny how both times she
- # wakes up to find Kyousuke next to her.

- I think you are naive to consider it non-sexual. In both those
- scenes, Akane wants to get physical. While there are non-sexual "S"
- friendships in anime and manga, like Noriko and Kasumi, Akane's
- feelings for Madoka include lesbianism. Surely you don't discount
- Kyousuke's lust, why should Akane's be any different?
