Is this what they call explosive growth…? 😮💥Ayakashi Triangle another manga by Kentaro Yabuki-sensei.If one day I finish reading To Love-Ru I’ll give it a try…!
The following contains spoiler for Ayakashi Triangle, episode 1 “Matsuri, Suzu, and Ayakashi”, now streaming on .
Ayakashi Triangle is not the only anime in this Winter 2023 anime season, and it is not the only one that is already generating controversy either. Ayakashi Triangle, , and ONIMAI: I’m Now Your Sister are three new anime series adapting IPs that deal with a main character whose gender was swapped, and the three involved males turned females. The first and the latter of the three already generated controversy, however, with Ayakashi Triangle, the controversy started with the source material for the anime series. The manga of the story that follows ninja that ends up being magically turned into a girl when he was trying to protect his childhood friend from a powerful ayakashi stirred controversy before that.
VIZ Media had started releasing the volumes digitally, but Ayakashi Triangle volumes 1 and 2 were suddenly removed from e-bookstores and VIZ Media’s own website around the beginning of December 2021. VIZ Media rates this manga series 18+ because of . When the 74th chapter of the series was to be released, both MANGA Plus and VIZ Media posted announcements they would skip it. The same happened with chapter 75. Both supposedly presented very objectionable content.
Because of that, Suzu tends to attract malicious ayakashi, not only the fluffy and cute type ones, and Matsuri takes it upon himself to become an exorcist ninja and slay any ayakashi will ill intentions, in order to secretly protect her. That is where his first big mistake lies — he treats Suzu as a damsel in distress and, by not telling her the truth, he does not spare his friend, he actually puts her in danger. Like the also controversial ONIMAI: I’m Now Your Sister!., it has plenty fanservice, but the looks much more problematic in ONIMAI than in Ayakashi Triangle.
