* DemotedToExtra: If you only see the anime, you wouldn't notice that some extras like ''the doctor'' or some of her assistants, and Mayu/Ayu can be love interests.

* BreakTheCutie

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: See HalfTruth above.
** Also Akane. Did her parents even bother to tell her that "Takayuki won't be seeing her anymore, since we told him to stop coming"? Nope, hence the incredibly painful to watch scene where Akane tells both of them off for not coming to visit (in the latter case, Mitsuki actually wanted to visit but was called a traitor by Akane herself).

* MatchmakerCrush

* PlotInducedStupidity: Both straight and justified. A doctor treating TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) by demanding that everyone play along with a false reality? It speaks volumes that the same doctor frequently smokes in the hospital... ''near oxygen''. On the other hand, there are several points of the story where characters do unbelievably stupid things that are [[JustifiedTrope completely consistent with their individual pathologies]].

*** [[spoiler: The OVA "second season" which follows a Haruka route ends with Takayuki and Haruka renewing their relationship and love for one another in the same spot where her traumatic accident occurs and in an almost sickeningly sweet TastesLikeDiabetes moment of all the onlookers clapping on for them. However, Mitsuki, who has almost been DemotedToExtra in this continuity, gave up her swimming career and [[DidNotGetTheGirl didn't even get Takayuki either.]] But she and Haruka maintain their friendship as she willingly bows out of the LoveTriangle.]]

-->''"That guy Takayuki is dumb,//
And no one likes him at all// No,no, they don't cause he struts around all over the place,//
And he thinks that he knows everything//
But he doesn't cause he's just assistant-manager at a crappy restaurant,//
I should have his job,// [[SmallNameBigEgo Cause I'm smarter than him!]]//
(Spoken) I HATE HIM!"''

This tragic and excruciatingly realistic story of decaying innocence and transient love somehow gave birth to the Franchise/MuvLuv franchise, a series of visual novels centered around mecha and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion-style]] alien onslaught. During Anime Expo 2016, Degica announced that an English localization of this visual novel was in the works. It is also loosely related to ''VisualNovel/KimiGaItaKisetsu'', the very first work of âge, which shares the same setting.

* ThemeTuneCameo: Mitsuki hums the opening at the beginning of Episode 8.

* ICouldaBeenAContender: Hayase Mitsuki, a once-in-a-generation swimming prodigy, has the makings of an Olympic-Grade Champion. [[spoiler:She leaves it behind to take care of her best friend Haruka's boyfriend Takayuki, so suicidaly depressed over Haruka's car-accident induced coma (which Mitsuki blames herself for) that he could not finish high school.]]

* {{Deconstruction}} : Of the very concept of TrueCompanions by showing just how impermanent the bonds of childhood/ adolescent friendship truly are, especially in the face of major, life altering experiences. It also shows how trying to keep up the pretense after the bonds fade can only make things worse.
