YMMV / Aoi House

• Fan-Preferred Couple: Alex/Elle was popular amongst a decent amount of the fandom.
• Ho Yay: Sanae has a crush on Nina. In fact, in the epilogue, she (somehow) manages to sleep with Nina and Elle, much to the shock of the latter two.
• Moe: Morgan, Sanae, and Kimberly Ann
• Strangled by the Red String: Several readers felt this way about the Morgan/Alex pairing, preferring Alex to end up with Elle, whom they felt he had better chemistry and tension with. That said, there were hints that Alex and Morgan were crushing on each other, but numerous side characters saying they "made a cute couple" made it seem more forced than was probably intended.
• Unintentional Period Piece:
  • This webcomic is a time capsule of what American anime fandom was like in the late 2000s. Numerous references are made to anime that have since declined in relevance (one of the main rival groups at Hatsu-Con is dedicated solely to Haruhi Suzumiya) or anime that remained big after this webcomic ended but were in their Early-Installment Weirdness phase (the Naruto references are all based on when the show was first gaining popularity in America, so they focus on what Naruto and Sasuke were like as of the end of the Land of Waves arc).
  • The big prize of Hatsu-Con's Fanservice Contest is a Playstation 3 (replaced by the PlayStation 4 in 2013), and even the idea of a Fanservice contest (as opposed to a normal Cosplay contest) can come off as skeevy nowadays. Oh, and one of the judges for the contest is Pedo-Bear, a 4Chan meme that more or less died out after 2012.
  • Even the Distant Finale has this - one of the films Elle stars in is a Supergirl film, and she's depicted wearing the midriff-baring sweater-and-miniskirt version of the outfit that DC debuted in 2004 ... and then retired in the 2011 reboot and haven't brought back since.
