To call Akio a "devil" figure would be to imply that he's a purely anarchic being.

Care to unpack that one? I'm not seeing it solidly, but I'd love an elaboration.

Akio seems to me more of a person who attempts to violate the boundaries between the substructure and superstructure. He introduces discipline, hierarchy, and bureaucracy into the world of the kids, and he exposes their parents to sexuality.

Whose parents did he sex?

And how is the establishing of discipline and hierarchy attempting to "violate the boundaries between substructure and superstructure"? In that sense, isn't he just a strict (and selfish) bureaucrat, and aren't many a devil just so?

Anarchists can engage in sport and instigate it. Anarchists can generate organizations for management.

And why can't a Guardian of Order be slutting it up? A Guardian of Niceness wouldn't be such an asshole about it all as Akio is, but "Order"? Akio's obsessed with order, seems to me.

Kanae's
And one could argue that he used Anthy as tool to sex Miki's dad.

More to write later!

Ha! Fair enough.

He wasn't exactly "exposing" them to sex, though.

He was, however, facilitating the mixing of the two worlds, the world of children and the world of adults. This is also shown in his dealing with Kanae's mom, when he's seducing her, he tells her what he does when he's with Kanae.
