Ah ok, so I guess I remembered incorrectly
But I do figure that Ikeda would've been quite young when he was working with Yagi. Yagi's a pretty old dude now I imagine, and Ikeda's been at R+V for a while, so it makes sense that he was young. Now we also know where he got his ideas from to some extent as well
Lol yeah, I figured they'd want to have someone who'se quite moe for an ecchi story. I haven't seen too much of the anime tho and judging by what I've heard about it, I'm glad that I haven't. Ironically, I first heard of the anime and instead started reading the manga. I did the same for HOTD (Highschool Of The Dead) in fact. Heard about the anime but started with the manga instead
