* SexSells: Although the manga in general is fairly risque (by ''Kirara'' standards), the special chapter published in ''Manga Time Kirara Carat'' to lure in new readers takes place inside the girls' bath and has the kind of erotic nudity you'd find in an ecchi series.

Due to her nervous disposition, Suuna Kuruma is scared of strangers. So, imagine her shock when she arrives at her dorm on the first day of high school and learns her new roommate, the flirty and fashionable Ruka Hamanasu, is always bringing home different girls to make out with. Ruka explains she has a lot of ''sefure''[[note]] "sex friends", or friends with benefits[[/note]]. When Suuna asks what ''sefure'' means, Ruka can't bring herself to destroy Suuna's wholesome aura, so she stammers out that it means a "semi-friend". As Suuna takes this in, she worries that Ruka's behavior will be bad for her fear of strangers. She proposes ''they'' become "semi-friends" instead, so that Ruka can satisfy her desire for [[SkinshipGrope skinship]] and Suuna doesn't have to be stressed out over strangers in the dorm.
