* ''Manga/ConvenientSemiFriend'': It's right there in the title. All of Ruka's relationships are built around making out with ''sefure'', the Japanese term for friends with benefits. The literal translation is "sex friend", but Ruka stresses that she's never actually gone as far as having sex. Mostly it's just heavy petting. When she tried to explain what a ''sefure'' is to the naive Suuna, she stammered out the term "semi-friend" to avoid damaging her wholesome aura.
