In the third issue, "Moretsu Anne and Kate's Great Rant", there is a statement to the effect that "even for adults, CoroCoro (Aniki) can be stopped on the nipple NG, even if it is a qi man drawn by the author", and although radical expressions are refrained from because it is aimed at adults, according to the person in charge, "Panchira is okay".
