* MeaninglessVIllainVictory: Villain may be a stretch, but even though Asuka wins the Salon Struggle against Kagura, Kirara, and Misaki, she doesn't get the Sky Salon. This is because there are others who paid for the right to the salon and she has to beat all of them as well, with the Kokonoe sisters being next, and beating her handily.

Even when there's someone who could be called an antagonist, they're usually focused on someone else and Misaki ends up being dragged along into whatever's going on.

To make sure she goes for it, they even threaten to drop their sponsorship regardless of whether she takes Kagura's.

The one time it doesn't, when Himeko is teaching Misaki and Kirara proper table manners in preparation for the salon struggle, it goes off the rails because Kagura does one step the wrong way and Kirara feels obligated to follow her lead during the actual contest, which costs them the win.

Even better, when she climbs over a fence to try to get to the entrance ceremony on time, she's caught by one Himeko Amonotsuka, the chairman's daughter!
