YMMV / Spotted Flower

• Fan Nickname: Harunobu and Saki for the Husband and Wife, both of them being Expies of Harunobu Madarame and Saki Kasukabe.
• Fanon: It's widely considered to be "Genshiken: the marriage AU" even though the characters haven't been explicitly touted as such.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Despite Genshiken taking huge amounts of time telling the audience that fujoshi can be able to separate reality from fiction and that real-life shipping can be harmful to the people involved, some fans see the entire affair between The Husband and the mangaka as the opposite of this message. This is especially given that the mangaka's girlfriend doesn't care much beyond asking her not to do it again and a token worry about ruining a family, then uses the experience for their next ero work, and they both gush about how hot it was for the Husband to be the uke.
• Periphery Demographic: A manga meant to be read by adult women (Josei) which happens to be a Spiritual Successor/Sequel to a famous manga with adult men (Seinen) as its target? Yes, there are men following this "girly" manga religiously.
