Added DiffLines:

* HandOrObjectUnderwear: In one of the final chapters, Noda, Ucchi, Minami, and Kuma get Kumiko to wear a frilly dress. She stubs her foot and quickly lifts her leg, causing Ucchi to quickly hold a pillow in front of her so no one can see under her skirt.
** Ucchi censors her again a little later, with his head inexplicably being in the shot and in just the right place to censor her as she delivers a flying kick.
