I get the feeling that show makes fun of all the "guy being a total pervert" and other shenanigan tropes that is normally seen in other anime. Does anybody else get that feeling? Thoughts?

One of the mangakas said in an interview that they wanted to throw all the tropes there and made the main guy a simple character because it's easier to manipulate. Also, the intention was "to no feminize him". If you follow her words it doesn't come as satire but as a silly story they played with.

But I do get the same feeling. I think there is some satire, perhaps even consciously placed but not confessed. Has no one noticed the bunny is very suggestively shaped? That one is surely on purpose.
