Yes, I think you're onto something there. And that sort of boundary-crossing feels absolutely key to the series that we've been talking about.
I haven't actually seen/read this series, but I've read about it and talked with fans about it, and it seems interesting (but like something that it might be hard for me to watch - yeah, even though it is on some level not actually that different from Oniisama E). I guess it falls in with a lot of the other 70s stuff which is problematic on some gender or sexuality level but which still has this feeling of trying to tackle something and ends up being a lot more interesting than reading modern BL or yuri or whatever anyway.
