The other relationship that I think is really, really messed up is in Aki Sora, where Aki and her little brother Sora are in love and form a sexual relationship. I have read that series because I really did find the idea fascinating rather than arousing I guess. But in the manga, Sora is sleeping with many partners at the time. And his beloved sister has no idea. Their unhealthy relationship is double-layered dysfunctional. It actually is deeply concerning how he lives his life in the manga, almost like he has a sex addiction, though at the same time, rarely is any of it consensual.

And I know this pairing does not end up together, but I’d just like to say that Toji and Momo from Peach Girl are NOT a healthy pairing. His level of violence towards others and the fact that he forces himself on her near the end is very disturbing. But her relationship with Kairi is really, really messed up. I wrote a huge essay on this once, haha. Her sweet, albeit obsessive and sleazy, boyfriend Kairi openly tells her that an older woman (his tutor) made sexual advances on him when he was a teenager and that he was even more betrayed when this woman also slept with his older brother. He describes being used sexually by women. He also says that he tried to kill himself, which he does again in the series. She barely bats an eye but instead willfully hangs out with his creepy brother to make him mad and ignores the inner turmoil he experiences. It really grosses me out. And they end up together! Kairi is by no means perfect and in fact has a lot of flaws, but he needs a lot of help too. But, she offers none of that to him .

THANKS!

I dont know how the ship from maid latte could go wrong because he is a perv but also really nice….

I always see anime as “how it is in another world, with different rules and structures” if you take our rules and apply it to their world it makes things creepy as heck, but a lot of the anime are pretty soft/never really pushing the boundary to make things truly as creepy as you and some others may feel.

Personally I don’t see how you can enjoy any anime if you pushed the rules of reality onto them, it just doesn’t work. Imagine trying to even push reality onto Dragon Ball Z for instance; there’s so many things that are physically and more or less impossible in that show. Such as flying, energy blasts, etc.

I’m not saying that you’re wrong with what you personally believe/see as unhealthy relationships if they were to happen in real life, but these relationships are doubtful to happen in real life, and if you take the anime with more than a grain of salt in most situations you’re going to be left disappointed anyways.
