Sex and nudity in Dotto! Koni-chan
Sexual content is limited to infrequent, mild suggestive humor, primarily visual gags involving exaggerated reactions or forms.

Language in Dotto! Koni-chan
The language used is generally mild. Characters occasionally refer to themselves or others as 'idiots' or similar light insults in the context of comedic situations.

Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Dotto! Koni-chan
A recurring character, Inu-Afro, is frequently depicted with a lit cigarette in his mouth. This is a consistent visual motif for the character, but the act of smoking is never explicitly discussed, glamorized, or shown to have negative consequences, nor does it lead to plot points related to addiction or health.
