Just to add to that.

In Greek times, when Democracy was being established, the politicians would search far and wide for "beautiful boys" across the lands to be their personal assistants during work related stuff and other things.

In the coliseum the warriors would fight naked too.

Alexander The Great was gay himself.

It wasn't the fighting or the war that got to him, what led to his death was when his male lover died.

He started to decline in health and everything else fell apart.

It's also been written in some of the history books that even the Samurai have a belief in that as well.

A nice example is when you watch that one episode of Samurai Champloo where a Dutch man was talking about this topic while he himself was gay and wanted to see a Kabuki show.

At the time, they didn't allow women to be in plays in Japan and Greece for a long time if ever.

(Watch Gladiator or look at Alto-Hime)

On the other side, we can go on with examples from the amazon culture, the island of Lesbos, and Sappho's poems.

These are just small examples of things that has been around forever.

Back on topic:

If anything, this series has shoujo-ai elements with a drop of yuri for those who like it or see it that way.

The main fan base approves. I just happen to be one of them.
