The elephant in the room here is that all of this is based around sixth-graders. The mixture of boob and panty jokes, rampant perversion (or the appearance thereof), and preteens will strike many as inappropriate at best, and deeply creepy at worst. And without doubt the series handles the combination poorly at times. Too often the kids have, or have knowledge of, sexual perversions that well-adjusted children their age shouldn't. And no one will ever argue that anything in Mitsudomoe is in good taste.
