* [[Beta Couple]]: {{spoiler|Tamaki and Shinobu's friend Shingo Onijima.}} Also, {{spoiler|Benio's father and Kichiji.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]] ''and'' [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]}}: The manga. On one hand, {{spoiler|Benio and Shinobu overcome their difficulties, find each other again ''and'' finally get married; not to mention, Tamaki and Shingo get together too, and so do Benio's dad and Kichiji.}} On the other, {{spoiler|this happens right after ''[[wikipedia:1923 Great Kant%C5%8D earthquake|the 1923 Kanto earthquake]]'' '''and''' when Benio is about to marry her [[Second Love]] Tousei.

Benio herself is thought to be MIA after the Catholic church in which she was about to marry Tousei collapses; she has actually survived, so she an Shinobu find each other, but both are injured and are THIS close to be [[Together in Death]], if not for Tousei's efforts and then acceptance of their mutual feelings.

* [[He-Man Woman Hater]]: Tousei. Uncommonly for the trope, he has a [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|his [[Brainless Beauty]] of a mother all but abandoned him, thus he has serious issues towards women. Doesn't stop him from falling for Benio, though, since she's the only woman he truly trusts.}}
* [[Heroes Love Dogs]]: The Iijyuin family has two: Tenmaru and Chimaru
* [[Hot Chick
* [[Hot Scoop]]: {{spoiler|Benio}}
