I'm Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? (2025)

I'm Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? _(NEET Kunoichi to Nazeka Dousei Hajimemashita)_ Is a "reverse isekai" where the main character remains in the present day every day and the supernatural creatures and people with extrodinary abilities gravitate around the MC. And it is a standard boy-meets-ninja girl protector. All good. She is Shizuri Ideura, sent to protect the MC - Tsukasa Atsumi, and everyday salaryman. Atsumi has the warrior blood of the samurai and that attracts supernatural creatures called yohmai to attack him. Not having any obvious offensive skills to protect himself, he is assigned the top ninja-girl from the ninja village to protect him from the yohmai threat.

It doesn't take long for Shizuri and Atsumi to reach an agreement to live together out of necessity. Naturally the closer Shizuri is to Atsumi, the better she can protect him. What Shizuri doesn't let on is that she craves the "NEET" lifestyle, that of a live-in bum. All she wants to do outside protect Atsumi is lay about, play video games, and eat & sleep. But Atsumi is not a terrible person, and his constant gratitude for Shizuri's protection is seriously hampering Shuzuri's ability to keep her NEET selfishness in place; plus Atsumi's kindness is quickly softening Shizuri's heart as well as her want to remain a selfish gamer. Falling emotionally for one's charge is a serious offense by village law and punishable by banishment.

It's not long before Shizuri's other ninjas show up to check in on her or seek out her help because they may be having troubles with their own charges. And that's where the series goes off the rails...**IN just the 2nd episode...** At this point, IN only the 2nd episode, Shuzuri has had two fellow ninja show up. The first is Ayame Momochi, green haired girl in pigtails who is also a masochist that worships Shuzuri as a love interest and ninja. The other is girl with a purple bob hairstyle named Hina. She has the unfortunate state of exuding a natural Murphy Field, and it has caused a lack of confidence in herself as well as stunted her ninja talent. Her problem is easily fixed.

It is the first "girl" that has me concerned about **_what in the hellfire is happening in Japanese animation and the confusion of male gender roles!?!_** This is the fourth animated series I've seen where there are male characters being voiced by the opposite sex voice actor. And if it is not just voice-role displacement, then the character itself who is SUPPOSED to be male, is drawn with feminine features - narrow shoulders, feminine hairstyle, pouty lips, accentuated eyelashes, narrow feminine waist, and wide hips; not to mention dressed in women characters' clothing. The character Ayame Momochi is such a character. "She" is a male character that has been drawn with feminine body structure and voiced by a female voice actor. The character believes he was born in the wrong body -- woke alert!! Gender politics spotted -- and he has been doing everything he can to live as a female and be a female ninja just so he can be next to Shizuri, but he doesn't want Shizuri to know he's not a female because he fears she will shun him for not being female. Get it? He's fearful she will not accept him because he's NOT a female, not because he's not her type or a male love interest but because he's not the gender he wants to be. >eyeroll<

As I've said there are several anime that I've come across that suffer this problem. And this gender dsyphoric nonsense has been going on for the last several years in anime. The infection of gender politics, and it being used for psychological opposition to confuse and discombobulate young minds through an entertainment medium in which children partake, is reprehensible. Again I don't know the inner workings of what it takes to get some of these animations aired. I don't know if deals are being made to get this type of misleading gender-dsyphoric indoctrination into animation OR if Japan is purposely doing this to its own young people... **But this needs to stop**. Social & Gender politics nullifies entertainment and story-telling. The studios try to hide this stuff behind comedy in the shows, but it is no laughing matter. Children to young adults watch these shows. It is criminal to put these types of controversal issues into a medium of entertainment that children are exposed to and not mentally prepared to process. Life is tough enough without these kinds of unecessarily confusing images & actions complicating children's ability to reason.
This needs to STOP! ✋ Full stop.
To be clear: **I am NOT ADVOCATING FOR THE BANNING OF JAPANESE ANIME OR ANIMATION.** What I am saying is keep the Boy-Boy Love in its section where it belongs, NOT in my normal anime.
