• Alternative Character Interpretation: Norio has gotten a bit of this. Is he actually gay, or is he (she?) in fact secretly transgendered?
  • So has Hiro-chan - on this very wiki, even. Was her attempt to kill Shunji a cruel method of trying to get Shiina to join her cause, or was it simply her way of forcing Shiina to kill her? And when she says "let's be friends" in the same scene, did that mean she never truly thought of Shiina as a friend in the first place, or did she just mean she wanted Shiina to still be her friend even while she's messing up the world to suit herself?
  • What could be the justification for the Sudo gang? Are Bungo and Satomi doing what they believe is right? There are dozens of fan-generated ideals. Sometimes goes into Ron the Death Eater territory.
• Complete Monster: Aki Honda who forces Hiro-chan to ingest worms from a beaker, then goes on to rape her with a test tube, and the city thugs that needlessly and brutally rape and torture Norio to death - especially the thug that does the raping - before cutting his head off and mounting it onto his favourite doll for Takeo to come home to late in the manga.
• Ear Worm: The opening.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: If fan art is anything to go by, the fanbase seems to prefer Tsurumaru with Norio and Shiina with Akira.
• Squick: Akira pressuring her friend Ishida to have sex with her and loudly masturbating after he couldn't do it. That's not the worst of it by far.
• Toy Ship: Bungo and Satomi when they were younger, though their relationship is bittersweet at best and downright icky at worst.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: It seems that a few readers have gone through the entire manga without realising that Norio is (biologically) male.
• What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: The first chapter/episode and opening theme song aside, hoooooh boy!
• The Woobie: Akira, most prominently. Given all the crap she goes through, it's hard to not feel at least a bit sorry for her. Many other characters could qualify as well, though they tend to be either Jerkass Woobies or Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds.
