* [[Decompressed Comic]]: To the point where one twenty-page issue started at the beginning of a "breather" and ended after the first spank - out of ten. But it's mostly build-up for the massive amounts of fanservice.

* [[Did I Just Say That Out Loud?]]: In Chapter 18 Kaoru brings a ball gag and then does an [[Info Dump]] about the different types of gag used in S&M including images which makes it seem to be directed only to the reader, then we get a [[Beat Panel]] of Nana giving him an odd look.

** Nearly all of it's justified by [[Male Gaze|schoolboy ogling]] or the 'breathers', out in the open, so it doesn't quite count. Nana (sorry, "[[Hot for Teacher|Chigusa-sensei]]") [http://www.mangareader.net/926-40011-4/nana-to-kaoru/chapter-24.html tutoring Kaoru] is true, old-fashioned why-the-hell-is-she-wearing-that fanservice. It's not just the stockings. It's not just the [[Meganekko|glasses]]. It's the stockings and the glasses and the tight blouse ''and'' the short skirt ''and'' the teasing.

** Well, Nana seems to have a thing for doing this to him. In a mini-arc, she invites him to a shrine visit, alone...and really [[Yamato Nadeshiko|she looks and acts the part for the day]], [[Tsundere|most of the time]]. Bonus points for wearing a special yukata that announces that she's ''looking for a husband.'' She couldn't be more blatant with him without sticking her hands down his trousers.

*** This is also a rather funny [[Shout Out|author gag]] to ''[[Happy Negative Marriage]]''. It also doubles as [[Author Appeal]] - nearly all his characters encounter marriage as a theme at some point.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Kaoru's been running every morning ever since Nana was accosted by shoplifters during a breather. By chapter 15, he can sprint around town without even breaking a sweat, whereas the much more athletic (on paper) student council president can barely keep up. Similarly, it's spelled out very clearly that Kaoru is every bit Nana's match intellectually, he just has trouble focusing on studying.
