* AccidentalInnuendo: Some fans took Haruto's confession at [[spoiler:Kazama]]'s grave in an accidentally malicious light, with it sounding like he was genuinely glad [[spoiler:his best friend died so he could hook up with Yuzuki]] rather than just finding good within the bad of [[spoiler:said best friend's death]].
* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Especially concerning the male and female leads.
** Haruto: Is he compassionate to a fault and wants to believe in the best of other people, or is he a naive, deluded idiot who is white knighting and is outright abusing his girlfriend's trust? (And as of [[spoiler:chapter 256]]: naive, deluded idiot, or {{Jerkass}}?)
** Yuzuki: Is she a sympathetic and well-meaning young woman who sincerely believes that everything will be better off if she [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy sacrifices her own happiness in favor of others]] or is she a horrible bitch who plays mind games, uses the DeliberatelyCuteChild to her advantage, and keeps jerking Haruto around?
* ArcFatigue: For some fans, the arc [[spoiler:where Haruto transfers to Tokyo to confront Yuzuki]] is a headache/anger-inducing case of Arc Stall.
** Many fans in the last two years were just wondering when the series is going to end as it just seems to be a [[{{Filler}} day to day of his and Yuzuki's life for the last 100 chapters]]. It wasn't even a particularly interesting SliceOfLife, to boot, chock-full of [[IdiotBall stupidity]], [[PoorCommunicationKills miscommunication]], too many direly unfunny OneDialogueTwoConversations jokes and cheap "drama" for drama's sake (Haruto and Yuzuki's last breakup being the most egregious bit of chain-yanking). One can only imagine their satisfaction when the series actually ended.
* BaseBreakingCharacter: Yuzuki, ooh boy. On one side she is seen as a gentle naive girl, on the other she is a BitchInSheepsClothing who likes to MindScrew Haruto.
* BastardGirlfriend: An AlternativeCharacterInterpretation of Yuzuki.
* DamselScrappy: Yuzuki can't seem to do anything that doesn't require Haruto to go out of his way to fix the problem. At one point even moving all the way to Tokyo.
* DieForOurShip: For most of this manga's run, any attitudes of this nature were toward either Yuzuki or Nanami.
** And with the Tokyo arc, Kazama, [[spoiler:Yuzuki's boyfriend]] to many readers. [[spoiler:Which makes his death in chapter 100 all the more...[[BrokenBase base breaking.]] ]]
* FanPreferredCouple: Literally every other girl with Haruto than with [[TheScrappy Eba]]. It is a bit glaring when another woman appears and the fanbase immediately hope that he and Eba break up so he can be with her. Or to phrase it differently, so he cannot be with Eba.
* IKnewIt:
** Chapter 118, where Asuka allowed Haruto to be taken by his friends to a group date and [[SarcasmMode coincidentally]] meet back up with Yuzuki after her two years-long absence. Many fans knew it was only a matter of time before they were made a couple again, despite the [[DieForOurShip amount of hate the idea generated]] for both the readers and InUniverse. If anything people could see that this whole chapter was just an AssPull to get them to meet back up again.
** In Chapter 198 when they were finally about to "cross the line" but things happened that prevented it (such as Yuzuki getting drunk and going to bed early), fans guessed this was done to pad it out so it would happen on Chapter 200, sure enough that's when it happened.
* TheScrappy: The lesbian girl that was recently added who hits on pretty much all the female cast, and hangs out with Yuzuki with the full intention of stealing her away from Haruto. Of course being Yuzuki, she is completely oblivious to this and thinks Haruto is just overreacting. The author seems to have picked up on this as she seems to disappear to only make a quick appearance every now and again just to show she still exists.
* ShippingBedDeath: A lot of fans agree that as soon as Haruto and Yuzuki got back together the story started to go downhill. (Particularly with all the other characters that ended up DemotedToExtra or OutOfFocus, the {{Flanderisation}} endured by others, Yuzuki being demoted to SatelliteLoveInterest and losing some of her previous personality, and Haruto's sometimes scummy behaviour in rekindling the relationship.)
* ShipToShipCombat: Pretty prevalent throughout the series due to the number of girls that people want to see Haruto end up with.
* TheUnfairSex: If the genders were reversed and Haruto did half of that Yuzuki does to him, it wouldn't be hard to expect that everyone would have informed her to break up with him already.
** Admit it, if that lesbian girl was a guy hitting on Yuzuki, we would have already seen Haruto beating the crap out of him.
* WhatAnIdiot: What many fans consider Haurto after he broke up with Asuka. [[InUniverse His own friends]] [[WhatTheHellHero called him out on it]].
** Chapter 256 pours fuel on the fire: [[spoiler: Haruto loves Yuzuki. He's fought against her dad's disapproval and accepted being ostracised from all of his friends just to be with her, and has been very panicky at the thought of being apart from Yuzuki. So when life throws a little curveball at him by putting them in a LongDistanceRelationship again, what does he do? Break up with Yuzuki, choosing his job over her. Clearly the sort of serious decision that requires a lot of thought and a long talk to handle properly, right? Nope! Haruto just cheerfully blurts out "Let's... break up..." as he's on the train back to Kochi, wearing the douchiest possible smirk.]]
* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHerBack?: Haruto keeps taking back Yuzuki. Seriously she never tells him anything, [[DamselScrappy takes on things often that require him to go out of his way to save her]], [[ILied flat out lies to him]], [[DearJohnLetter breaks up with him without a word]], screws with him, and now [[PoorCommunicationKills after an argument over a misunderstanding on her part (again)]] she storms out of Haruto's house, blocks his number, leaving him to almost file a missing persons report with how he can't get in contact with her and no one has seen her. Then when she finally comes back she doesn't even say a word to him as she just gets her suitcase. But for some reason he does everything he can to keep her.
** Then once they get back together, she promises they will finally have sex the next day. So to make everything perfect Haruto cleans the house, cooks dinner, goes through mental heck trying to prepare to finally cross this line. What does Yuzuki do? She shows up late, is half drunk, eats the food, and states she is going to sleep because she is exhausted from partying with Miyu all day, leaving Haruto confused and understandably frustrated when she goes to bed. So after he cleans up everything, he goes to bed, and tries to go to sleep, Yuzuki looks over at him and gets angry at HIM.
