Most PreCure kids don’t read the comics, because Nakayosi is for elementary schoolers, usually up to 6th graders, while the tv series is for preschoolers and kindergartners. So most parents aren’t buying the comics for them even if they know they exist because they simply can’t read them yet. And even for older kids, idk about you but my parents were not looking over everything I read as a kid that deeply.

The kiss in the comic is a trope that happens in a lot of series - iirc it also happened in Tokyo Mew Mew Au Lait - where one character is poisoned and they have to give them the antidote that way. So there’s plausible deniability to hide behind. The Kamikitas know what they’re doing… but we also haven’t gotten anything closer to queerness than that and the Akiyuka rings from the comics and that was almost a decade ago.

Even today the GL levels in Nakayosi are soooo so rare and need plausible deniability to get away with it.
