#mod is uncomfy for personal reasons but is also critical on clamp's depiction and inclusion of age gap relationships in the original manga

Since I’ve been gaining a lot of follows lately, I wanted to post this: If you ship Akiho Shinomoto and Yuna D. Kaito together please don’t follow this blog! I won’t interact with your space but please respect mine. 

Kaito is clearly a teenager when he first meets little Akiho, and now he’s most likely an adult by clear card arc. Akiho has a crush but she’s 12. That’s what kids do. I personally feel like the feelings Akiho has towards Kaito is mirroring the “crush” Sakura had on Yukito. Sakura discovers her feelings towards Yukito are similar to the feelings she has towards her father. Platonic love and admiration. Akiho’s life has been alienated without loved ones in her life and never even experienced someone saying they want her to be happy until Sakura says it. I feel as though fandom is heavily focused on romantic relationships, shipping EVERYTHING, but completely ignoring how platonic love is just as important! So I personally feel uncomfortable with this ship and don’t want to interact with it~ Thank you for understanding! (❁´◡`❁)
