* UnfortunateImplications: That sex-ed strips the innocence of kids. Related to ChildrenAreInnocent, perhaps too innocent as Haruna and her classmates act more like 6 year olds than 11 year olds. Is understandable for them to be completely ignorant of the actual specifics of sex without sex-ed at 11, but even without them, the way they express curiosity about sex is totally asexual, which would not be the case for preteens as it would be for little kids.
