* AntiClimax: The ending of the series is rather anti-climatic, closing on a scene of everyday life while the main characters spitball plans for a stargazing party that isn't going to be shown. Given that Kobeni's final monologue mentions how many things are still "in progress" (a reference to the manga's Japanese name, ''Unconfirmed and in Progress''), the overall attitude seems to be that their life will keep going, even though the manga's over.

** The final chapter reveals that [[spoiler: Kobeni was actually the one who willingly offered to be Hakuya's bride when they were little because she liked him, but due to her amnesia from the accident she forgot all about it. It's clear Hakuya still remembers what she said, but he wants her to remember on her own rather than ask her to fulfill a promise she doesn't even remember making. It's not made clear if their families also knew specifically what she said, but given how they set up the "arranged marriage" and encouraged her to get to know him better, it's a good bet they were privy to it.]]
