Since she usually hides behind her NerdGlasses and has her hair tied in braids when in public, it takes long for Junpei to put two and two together.]]
* FrenchMaidOutfit: With Chinami missing, Misuzu if forced to wear one, during the third festival, to attract viewers.

* GenreShift: Starts as a typical harem anime with good balance between romance, comedy and ecchi. Ends as [[spoiler:a love triangle tension filled with drama]].

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:In the last chapters, Amachi says to Aya she needs to stop making stories only for Junpei, since he has a girlfriend already. Despite dumping him in the next scene, she thinks he is right]].

** Junpei. He's not ugly, but there's no apparent reason why he should catch the attention of so many beautiful girl. Gets point because one of the people who [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] this to Junpei is ''Tsukasa Nishino'' herself ''when they were dating at the start of the manga'' (she then concluded that her standards wouldn't allow her to fall for a worthless person, so Junpei had to have hidden qualities she had noticed unconsciously. [[spoiler: She had actually noticed them consciously well before getting the declaration, but had forgot about him until that fateful day]]).
*** Having one of the main girls lampshade this in Junpei's face becomes a RunningGag, with a particularly [[HilarityEnsues funny]] occasion having Tsukasa and Satsuki describe the boy they like as a KavorkaMan only to realize they're ''both'' describing Junpei and start glaring at each other, with Aya silently joining the lampshading when she tries to console Junpei with a sad smile. Still, Tsukasa is the one who does this most often.
** ''[[{{Gonk}} Komiyama]]'' later joined the club when [[GoldDigger Chinami]] [[FilleFatale Hashimoto]] genuinely falls for him, and gets immediately lampshaded when the ''entire Film Studies Club plus Kozue and Amachi'' find out and nearly get an heart attack. She later dumps him... Except that the DistantFinale implies they got back together, in secret to prevent a scandal from ruining her idol career.

** Aya to lesser extent. She is the second-most buxom girl in the series, after Satsuki, and source of many [[PantyShot Panty Shots]]. The sight of her strawberry panties is what kicks off the story.
