The Fandom

The Akito Controversy

Midway/late in the series, Akito--believed to be a man until that point--was revealed to be a woman. Some fans had a strong negative reaction to the revelation of Akito's true sex. [1] [2]

Reactions to the end of the series

Some people angered by most of the Sohma family members ending up neatly paired up with women. Heteronormative ending, especially when compared to the male/male subtext sprinkled throughout the series. (ref?)
