History Manga / SpottedFlower

* CosplayOtakuGirl: The Wife, she learned to enjoy cosplaying as time went by; altought she can get angry when the Husband only happens to be in the mood when she's cosplaying, reasoning that the character she represents might be abover her in the Husband's mind.

* {{Expy}}: the Husband is one for Madarame and the Wife is one for Kasukabe, both from ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}''.

* ShoutOut: There are some topics during the Wife and Husband conversations that borrow from events from {{Genshiken}} itself:

** The couple decides to let the wife's grandmother name their child and she lists names from [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]]. This is a reference to a chapter in Genshiken where an anonymous tip told Saki that a rival club says that she has an otaku name. Saki laments because it was her grandmother who gave her that name.
*** Turns out the grandmother purposely picked names from anime series and games, including the aforementioned [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]] as well as YuruYuri.

One of the main charms of the series is that the Husband and the Wife are direct analogies of two ''Genshiken'' characters: Harunobu Madarame and Saki Kasukabe respectively due to subtle hints pointing out past events strikingly similar to those found in said series.

* CuteLittleFangs: The Husband, but it's kind of subdued, it isn't as apparent as Madarame's.

** The Wife saying things like she and the Husband used to be part of a club for otakus, that she was caught in the middle of 2 of them, and that she doesn’t want to see her ex-boyfriend by meeting with the group again, strongly implies that they are Madarame and Kasukabe, with the ex being Kousaka.
