*{{Moe}}: Sayu is so cute and friendly and endearing that it is no surprise that several characters (like Yoshida and Asami) quickly become protective of her. Even Gotou, who could easily view her as a love rival, decides instead to become her CoolBigSis.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Look closer, and ''Higehiro'' is basically the 1990 Romantic {{Dramedy}} Classic ''Film/PrettyWoman'' turned on its head. Like Vivian (played by Creator/JuliaRoberts), Sayu is a down on her luck girl fleeing from an abusive family who survives by selling her body; however, instead of her being saved by a wealthy millionaire like Vivian was by Edward (played by Creator/RichardGere) it is ''Sayu'' who is the wealthy UptownGirl who is saved by [[TheEveryman Yoshida, a financially average everyman hero]] who ''starts'' the story with an already-unflinching moral compass (unlike Edward who had to re-learn how to love from Vivian). And although Yoshida ''also'' teaches Sayu to see value in herself ''beyond'' her ability to sexually satisfy men, aside from the occasional brotherly embrace, ''never'' becomes intimate with her. Rather than making Sayu a woman in his idealized image like the PygmalionPlot that ''Film/PrettyWoman'' (and ''Film/MyFairLady'' that inspired it) was, Yoshida saves her by re-teaching her to be a happy child by ''reconciling'' with the past of her abusive family rather than leaving it behind, so she can grow up to be her own woman.

see note on Audience Alienating Premise: Since "some people won't like this work's premise" on its own is too subjective even for YMMV, there should be objective proof that people in general didn't like the premise. This means the work being a Box Office Bomb, Acclaimed Flop, Creator Killer, Short-Runner, Stillborn Franchise, or receiving No Export For You

It’s fairly popular in the West, but the age gap between Yoshida and Sayu [[spoiler: and the ending that implies a budding romance between the two after Sayu graduates high school]] may still raise eyebrows. Oddly enough, it’s more controversial in Japan not because of the age gap, but because Yoshida is explicitly breaking the law by harboring Sayu, a minor, in his home.
