Despite Kei's politeness and friendliness to the Fujiwara sisters, she is rebellious at home and Papa Shirogane is terrified of her.

[[spoiler:Chapter 208 revealed that like his son, Papa Shirogane was a man who pushed himself to the limits to win over his wife, only to lose her when he can no longer live up to her expectation. He probably saw his wife in Kaguya, but eventually softens to her after getting the confirmation that she likes Shirogane [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan for his natural kindness]] instead of his academic performances]].

* Kaguya is introduced as being a daughter of the Shinomiya family, but it's expressly not said that she's set to inherit the conglomerate. It's later explained that Kaguya's brothers have more involvement in the business and are implied to be the heirs, and as such, that [[spoiler:her own importance in the family is more tenuous and dependent on her compliance to their whims than it appears]]. Similarly, Kaguya's mentioning how her "first time" (i.e. kissing) was with her young nephew hints at a sibling who is old enough to have children, and thus ahead of Kaguya in the succession order.
* When Kashiwagi and Tsubasa first hook up, Maki is depressed and Karen is looking at her with a "this won't end well" expression. About three years later real world time, Karen's spin-off reveals that she was responsible for the events leading to Tsubasa asking out Kashiwagi... while trying to get him to ask out Maki.
* At the end of chapter 12, Hayasaka asks Kaguya if she would bother with the whole DuelOfSeduction if she were to truly find herself in love with someone, to which Kaguya stammers that she would confess instead. [[spoiler:She swaps over to trying to confess within a day of admitting out loud that she loves Shirogane (and is ultimately the first to say "I love you").]]
* In Chapter 14, Kaguya mentioned that her first kiss was with her infant nephew, and the accompanying photo in TheStinger shows that she was already at least middle school age. [[spoiler:This is the first clue that she suffers from ParentalNeglect, since one would have expected her to say that her first kiss came from her mother or father if she meant it in a platonic sense.]]
* When taking a psychological test where the amount of flowers you say you'll take correlates with how much you love your crush in chapter 28, Kaguya only takes a bouquet while Shirogane says that even an entire truck full wouldn't be enough. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that Shirogane had already been in love with Kaguya for at least a year at this point, while Kaguya's crush wouldn't develop into outright love until the fireworks arc.]]
* When Ishigami is giving Shirogane advice in Chapter 47, he tells him something to the effect of "there's no need for a man to apologize if he's done nothing to make him guilty." [[spoiler:During the Sports Festival arc, it's revealed that he was suspended for months back in middle school because he refused to write an apology letter for attacking [[BitchInSheepsClothing Ogino]].]]
* In Chapter 52, Kei mentions to Kaguya that her brother mearly puts up a front of being a perfect StudentCouncilPresident at school but is troublesome at home, something that Kaguya has a hard time believing. [[spoiler:This is a major plot point in "The First Kiss Never Ends" arc.]]
* Kaguya becomes uncharacteristically defensive of Ishigami in chapter 55 when the subject of his middle school fiasco comes up, stating to two girls who were badmouthing him that she judges people based on what she's personally seen rather than rumors. [[spoiler:34 chapters later, it's revealed that she already knew the full details of what happened to him in middle school (with the most important detail being that he was innocent) before he even joined the student council, and was the one who had the rest of the council look into the story in the first place.]]
* When playing the Tabletop Club's Sugoroku game in Chapter 57, Ishigami dies on his very first turn, during what's stated to be the "child phase." [[spoiler: Almost precisely 100 chapters later, he very nearly ''does'' die, and is only saved because of Iino, who hadn't been introduced yet when that game was played.]]
* In Chapter 58, Shirogane is shown buying "The official guide to the TOEFL test". Though it's later shown that he's been trying his hand at languages, [[spoiler:in chapter 111, it's revealed that he's planning on attending Stanford.]]
* Fujiwara describes the weird face Kaguya makes in chapter 72 as the second cutest she's ever done. The cutest altogether was most likely Kaguya-chan.
* When discussing Ishigami's potential romantic partners in Chapter 73, the first person Shirogane brings up is [[spoiler:Iino, which Ishigami dismisses as unrealistic. Cue Iino developing a crush on him at the end of the Culture Festival arc.]]
* When Kaguya gets taken to see Dr Tanuma in chapter 79 after collapsing in school, the hospital is identical to the one that Tsubasa's father was shown to run in chapter 29. [[spoiler:Chapter 147 would reveal that Dr Tanuma is actually Tsubasa's grandfather.]]
* The PhantomThief that stole the balloons during the Culture Festival left a calling card with the name Literature/{{Arsene|Lupin}} on it. [[spoiler:The name Arsene can be translated to "like a man", the same thing that Shirogane said when the Mass Media Club interviewed him, making it the first clue that he was the one responsible.]]
* The explosion of hearts during the anime's opening foreshadowed [[spoiler:Shirogane's GrandRomanticGesture]] in the manga, something that hadn't even happened yet by the time the first episode aired.
* Also in the opening, the newspaper Shirogane is reading has pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Statue of Liberty, [[spoiler:hinting at him and Kaguya going to America.]]
* When Miko is talking to Osaragi about all the things she's done for Ishigami in Chapter 103, [[spoiler:the term she uses in the original Japanese alludes to broken bones. She would end up breaking her arm while trying to keep him from falling down the stairs after the Christmas party.]]
* When Tsubame invites Ishigami to come to her house for a Christmas party in Chapter 140, Miko thinks that she's inviting him to her room for sex and accuses her of being a predator. [[spoiler:While Ishigami never actually goes inside her room, Tsubame ''does'' offer to have sex with him once the party's over as consolation for turning down his LoveConfession (though he ultimately doesn't go through with it).]]
* After finding out about Osaragi [[spoiler:dating Kazeno in Chapter 122, Miko's initial reaction before the shock sets in is commenting that she didn't think she was into sweaty jocks. When Miko asks her why they eventually broke up in Chapter 166, she says it's because she found his workout to be gross.]]
* When Dr Tanuma is having a flashback to when he first fell in love in the anime, both he and the girl are in high school uniforms, since it's later established in the manga that his son ([[spoiler:Tsubasa's father]]) was born when he was 17.
* Upon meeting him for the first time in Chapter 111, Hayasaka's mother mentions how she'd pay money to see Papa Shirogane perform. Turns out she wasn't the only one since 80 chapters later he's managed to become a successful [=YouTube=] streamer.
* In Chapter 189, Osaragi directly compares Tsubame to [[spoiler:Otomo, the girl Ishigami sacrificed his reputation for back in middle school. Two chapters later, Otomo appears again.]]
[[folder:Chapter 192 (Major Spoilers)]]
The chapter reveals a part of Osaragi's past and that [[spoiler:she is in love with Ishigami and that is why she [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy ships him with Tsubame]], as this is the girl Ishigami likes. Many actions that she had taken can retrospectively be interpreted in a completely different way. While not explicitly romantic, she has shown that she pays a lot of attention to and cares about him.]] Thus, there are many {{Rewatch Bonus}}es in her chapters.
* Chapter 80:
** Iino complains to Osaragi that the student council is just a place where the boys are hitting on the girls. Osaragi, rather than condemning this, as you would expect from a member of the disciplinary committee, is rather intrigued and thinks it's a "pretty hot situation", [[spoiler:especially because her crush is part of the council.]]
** In the same chapter, Osaragi notes that Iino is unfairly leaving out Ishigami in her imagination of how she imagined her life in the student council would look like.
** The anime adds another possibly subtle reference, by making a ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} reference with Iino and Osaragi representing Peppermint Patty and Marcie, [[spoiler:who both have an unrequited crush on Ishigami/Charlie, who is crushing on someone else.]]
* Chapter 85 is a whole can of hints, as the chapter is [[ADayInTheLimelight narrated by Osaragi herself]]:
** Osaragi is strangely very knowledgeable about how and why a mob in school picks out and bullies a loner. This is not just because she saw it happen with Ishigami, [[spoiler:she speaks from personal experience, as she was a bully victim as well.]]
** Osaragi goes out of her way to tell Tsubame and Kazeno that Ishigami is not a bad person and is taking the Cheer Team seriously. As they assure her that they are aware, she is seen smiling while watching Ishigami.
** Almost every member of the Cheer Team appears to be TheFaceless, just like for Ishigami. For Ishigami, they appear like this because he averted his eyes from the world, due to his cynical view, but this chapter is actually told from Osaragi's point-of-view. [[spoiler:Osaragi has only eyes for Ishigami.]]
** Episode 22 (covering Chapter 85-87) added an extra shot of Osaragi and Tsubame cheering for Ishigami during the 3-legged race. (Chapter 192 would be released one week later.)
* Chapter 122:
** Osaragi wishes Ishigami good luck in Chapter 122, with it implied that she's talking about him confessing to Tsubame. Chapter 189 reveals that [[spoiler:the reason she did this is because she's a hardcore Ishigami/Tsubame shipper.]]
** Chapter 122 also reveals that she is dating Kazeno, with Iino being very surprised about this reveal, as he doesn't seem to be Osaragi's type at all. This fact assures Ishigami that there is nothing going on between Kazeno and Tsubame, giving him more courage to approach Tsubame.
* In Chapter 166, Osaragi reveals that she broke up with Kazeno, presumably for a very minor reason. After the reveal in Chapter 192, this now sounds more like an excuse, as she accomplished her goal to [[RemovingTheRival remove Kazeno as a potential love rival]].
* In Chapter 176, Ishigami asks Tsubame out on a date. Unlike Iino, who looks almost upset, Osaragi is smiling.
