CC: Very cute chibi. ^.^ But Akito is a girl. It's in like vol. 15. The show only goes up to vol. 6, so of course Akito is portrayed as a boy. And it's a secret, so only Akito's parents, Shigure and Hatori know. I think. ^.^; I haven't actually READ vol. 15 (I'm on 12), but I trust my friend when she says Akito's a girl. xD Me and Kari just thought he was gay. =P
