Before we get all moralistic here, about who lied first and who lied the
most and whatnot, we need to consider some things.  Maintaining your privacy
isn't lying. An acceptable response to a nosy question is a punch in the
nose, but suppose you don't want to resort to violence? A whole lot of what
Akane does to Ryouga/P-chan relates to maintaining her privacy. Also, a lot
of guys may need to be reminded of this: sneaking into a woman's bed under
false pretenses victimizes her.  Watching her dress and undress when she
doesn't know it's happening victimizes her. Tricking her into sharing her
private thoughts victimizes her. These are crimes that make lying rather
pale by comparison. Don't take my word for it.  Go read some feminist
literature.

Actually, Ryouga always tries to look away rather than see Akane naked, even
as P-chan.
