In this case, it looks like they're in high school, too. I love anime and have seen the worst of it, and I'd never expect this to have explicit sex in it. If you told me it ended up being incredibly violent I'd be less surprised than about the sex.

"You shouldn't judge a book by its cover", but that's exactly what the cover is made for. This cover failed to represent its book.
