*** According to the narrator, Miyuki is a RidiculouslyAverageGuy with no notable qualities or discernable traits. As Miyuki is definitely a well-established character with a fleshed out personality and goals, he feels totally insulted by the narration.
*** His little sister Kei is apparently [[NotBloodSiblings not related by blood]] and [[BrotherSisterIncest sees Miyuki as a man]]. Neither of those reveals are true in canon, and Miyuki sees this as a serious red flag.
*** His parents are [[ParentalAbandonment always away on a business trip]] (In canon, Miyuki's dad is a commonly recurring character). Miyuki is extremely concerned as to why he and his sister were left alone and wonders how Child Protective Services haven't stepped in yet.
*** Chika Fujiwara is Miyuki's [[ChildhoodFriends childhood friend]], and apparently made a ChildhoodMarriagePromise when they were around four, leading Miyuki to question how she [[NoInfantileAmnesia defied infantile amnesia.]]
*** Miyuki does have [[DeathGlare very harsh eyes]] in canon, but no one tends to treat him differently because of it. In this world however, guys run away because they all believe he's a delinquent, [[LightNovel/{{Toradora}} very similarly to another romcom protagonist with a death glare and co-starring with a tsundere.]] When the narrator explains the situation, Miyuki remarks that would never actually happen.
*** Kaguya Shinomiya, Miyuki's actual love interest, has her IceQueen and RichBitch traits [[{{Flanderization}} crazily exaggerated]], as she has two men carrying her in a throne on their backs while she talks down on everyone. When Miyuki remarks that her transportation is ridiculous and that she would do better just walking, [[DefrostingIceQueen she immediately gets flustered]] and is impressed that anyone would talk back to her (which Miyuki comments is something people do regularly).
*** Miyuki tries to run from Kaguya's cronies only to have a SuggestiveCollision with Ai Hayasaka, Kaguya's maid (Ironically, Hayasaka being Kaguya's maid ''is'' canon, but she doesn't wear her maid uniform outside of the Shinomiya Estates). Surprisingly, she actually compliments his boldness and recommends they continue somewhere else. The narrator calls her "a bit" of a pervert, but Miyuki claims that to be crazily understated.
*** Miko Iino (a platonic friend in canon) likes Miyuki because... [[DesignatedLoveInterest she just does.]]
*** Losing his mind from this nonsense, Miyuki tries to find the one guy friend he can rely on, Yu Ishigami, but the girls don't know who he's talking about. Kaguya claims that [[{{Retgone}} such a character doesn't exist]], then [[AllJustADream Ishigami wakes up,]] baffled by how many tropes from old and new romcoms showed up.

* The ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'' manga has a scene where Joseph asks Rohan if he ever considered getting his manga published in America, but Rohan dismisses the idea, saying that Americans have poor taste in comics. This exchange is conspicuously absent from the anime adaptation.

Hiroko of Senriyama, having two such movies due the next day and not enough time to watch both, gives one about a zombie to Toki and Ryuuka, and another about a shark to Izumi and Cera. It takes over an hour and a half (out of two hours for the shark movie) for the monsters to show up, and until then, Toki falls asleep [[LapPillow in Ryuuka's lap]], while Izumi and Cera make small talk about Izumi's math class to pass time.

* ''Manga/DrSlump'' has the MadScientist Dr. Mashirito (one of the few actually evil characters in the series) who is named after Akira Toriyama's editor, Mr. Torishima, only as a SdrawkcabName. Tellingly, when Torishima makes a cameo in the manga, he's drawn exactly like Mashirito. Also, fellow mangaka Masakazu Katsura makes a cameo too, and is depicted as a country bumpkin easily amused by everything.
