What if the target is "Audiences between [insert age group]"? Do the presence of sakura blossoms, or underpants automatically shout "shoujo! seinen!"?
I think, for some series, that's the case. But KK seems to be working on a more subtle level than that. I honestly didn't get the impression that the scene of Nanoka's friend changing clothes was done to titillate the viewer, rather, to simply show it as it as: changing clothes, getting the cramps, wearing shapeless sweat-pants and shirts--this is the approximation of real life.
