* SympatheticAdulterer: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] with Ayano. On one hand, she isn't in love with her husband and is grappling with the increasing possibility that she is more attracted to women, and all she did was share one kiss with Akari which she then came clean about to Wataru. On the other, the story doesn't shy away from showing that (unwittingly or not) Ayano is still playing with Akari's feelings, on top of unfairly foisting upon her the role of TheMistress in other people's eyes, including Wataru, who feels both humiliated by Ayano's infidelity and confused that it doesn't make him upset in the way that he thinks it should. Played straight with Wataru's unhappily married colleague, since her husband was also cheating on her anyway.
