He actually seems to be the opposite of a pedophile, in that he had so little interest in Machi sexually that he was unaware of how that scene looked.  That was the joke, that it wasn't what it appeared.  He was pinning her down because ... well, because she's an extremely violent person.  I've actually started to become annoyed with how physically abusive she is.  I know physically abusive characters in anime get a pass with a lot of people but I don't like it most of the time.

But, yeah, the whole thing was in poor taste and I wonder how it went over in Japan.  I would have cut the entire scene.

Now that you mention it, she really is. Also Is it just me or does something seem really off about this anime, i cant discribe it. Likes its "cuteness" is a facade for a really.... messed up show. Maybe its just me tho.

 

Also i agree with the last bolded.

It's definitely an adult series.  The premise might seem cute and fluffy but the themes are darker.  I suppose Japanese anime fans know this from the start, given that the manga is published in the seinen magazine that also featured titles like Dance in the Vampire Bund, Denkigai no Honya-san (The Electric Town's Bookstore), and Candy Boy.

Machi might be cute, funny, and the town's Miko, but I think the contrast is supposed to be that she's actually kind of a selfish person who acts like an old man half the time.
