I'm a South Asian and I have gone through such things like being separated from boys to prevent incidents (even though it was a coed school), prejudice against the whole school because of a couple of students, scrutinised by society because of class differences etc. So while I do get where Toki and Kikyou academy is coming from (especially since they're a girl's school), the reason why I'm feeling mixed is because some things feel realistic while some things don't. The more realistic scenario will be that Kikyou moved to a new area. No prestigious academy will be located next to a "local boys school" in the first place. Also, I can't forgive Toki threatening Kaoru to leave the school and her reason that it was for Kaoru's own good was bullshit. If this was in real life, sure they may expel her (I've seen it happen) but mostly it was because the school didnt want someone to damage their name and cover their own butts if something happened. If we didn't get the forced sob story for Toki sensei then isn't she doing the same thing? Covering her own butt from getting into trouble?
That's why I'm feeling mixed. Either make it realistic or make it dramatic (especially since the build up was pretty dramatic). This odd forced story plot which makes everyone tilt their heads is definitely not it.
