* [[Patient Childhood Love Interest]]: Sagara Yuu meets up with Toono again years after he moved away.
* [[School Festival]]: Complete with its very own [[Cosplay Cafe]]! (Their class did a [[Haunted House]] the previous year.) It also has the effect of completely exhausting Toono after he ends up put on the organisation committee before he has a chance to say no.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Toono.{{context}}

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: [[Alternative Character Interpretation]] for Toono. The guy has ''fourteen'' notebooks filled with sketches of Tamiya playing baseball.
