Cardcaptor Sakura

I recently read the manga Cardcaptor Sakura. You may think it was made for little kids but you are dead freakin' wrong! I took notes on all the thing I found slightly disturbing, I am in fact a teenager FYI. It has a major pedophilia/reverse pedophilia complex. Most of the characters where, at one point in time, romantically associated with someone either older or younger than themselves. There was even a teacher dating a 4th grader, he proposed to her! Even Sakura's parents were different ages, she was 16 and he was her teacher. A lot of teacher-student relationships as well. The author also seems fond of making the characters gay or bi. Sakura's bff is in love with her, her brother likes his bff, her mother's cousin loved her mom, and her eventual love interest likes her brother's bff (Sakura likes her bro's bff for most of the manga too). Sakira's bff was also her mom's cousin's daughter so that is kind of incest. Well so was the fact that her mom's cousin liked her mom, so they seem to have a problem witH that too. The translator had the funniest notes ever, I laughed more at the notes than at the manga. I forget what they are now but they were pretty good. Peace love and all that jazz Zarina
