* AudienceAlienatingEnding: The original manga ends with Hatsumi getting back together with Ryoki, and this being treated as a happy romantic ending. The problem is that Ryoki is such an extreme example of a FetishizedAbuser who at one point outright [[spoiler:tried to have her ''violently gang-raped'']] that many fans ended up despising him, and the equally screwed-up Azuza has not given up on his vengeance crusade at all, while Shinogu, Hatsumi's genuinely nice adoptive brother who is [[FanPreferredCouple considered the best love interest of the three]], is left behind to become a monk. The resulting backlash was such that the official ''S'' novel has [[spoiler:Hatsumi change her mind and get together with Shinogu after all]].

%% * BaseBreakingCharacter: RyokiRyoki. Some fans love him and find him a great love interest for Hatsumi, and are happy with the original ending where [[spoiler:she gets back together with him]]. Others consider him an extreme FetishizedAbuser and flat-out despise him for it, [[AudienceAlienatingEnding hate the original ending]], and prefer the novel ending where [[spoiler:Hatsumi gets together with Shinogu instead]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: After the outcry when it was revealed that Hatsumi decided to [[spoiler:stay by Ryoki's side despite his abuse]], ''Hot Gimmick S'' was released soon after in which Hatsumi actually [[spoiler: thinks twice about it, breaks up with Ryoki and goes to Shinogu.]]

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: This is a manga with lots of sexual blackmail raunchier than most MTV shows and getting a 16+ rating for the American publication (with a few additional disclaimers about underage drinking and other such material), points towards being a josei, but somehow ran in Betsucomi, a shoujo magazine originally targeted to elementary and middle school girls (though there has been a bit of an aging up of the magazine in recent years).

The trope's been cut by TRS.


* DieForOurShip: In contrast with the below trope, not a few people would love Ryoki to drop dead... Though it's not always because they want him to [[DieForOurShip die for their ship.]] Sometimes, they really just want him to drop dead ''[[BastardBoyfriend because he's an asshole]]''. Even people who don't ship Hatsumi with ''any'' of the characters still think that she could find someone better than [[{{Yandere}} Ryoki]]. [[WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack Who can blame them?]]

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: One of the few shoujo manga that fits this trope. Every character is a [[JerkAss jerk]] or an idiot, and nobody receives any major character development (in fact the opposite seems to happen). The EsotericHappyEnding doesn't help, [[spoiler:not even when the novel ended up fixing it]].
