History YMMV / KotouraSan

** All the miserable excuses for classmates and teachers involved in tormenting Haruka for being a LivingLieDetector, making her out to be a [[CassandraTruth 'compulsive liar']] when she's probably the most (if not the 'only') truthful one of the lot. Her 'crime'? Daring to not have the social tact required to avoid blurting out their innermost thoughts, thus exposing their true colors.

** From the time I can't leave you, I realized...[[labelnote:Explanation]]Also of a Chinese origin. Their {{mondegreen}} for ED ''the Flower of Hope'' is particularly well-known, due to the fact that it's an extremely rare case when the mondegreen-ed version is still a ''serious love song''. The quoted line come from the first half-line of the lyrics ''nanika ni tsumadzuitara'', which is mondegreened to "nan likai ni shi wo zhongyu tanran..."[[/labelnote]] %%source: https://zh.moegirl.org/%E7%A9%BA%E8%80%B3#TV.size

** The unnamed old woman who [[spoiler:takes Haruka's cat to a shelter, where it will probably be euthanaized,]] gets a special mention; she has collected many [[KickTheDog (rather justifiable)]] death threats from fans [[WhamLine just by saying a few words to Haruka]]--as those lines were practically her DespairEventHorizon. The worst part about it is that [[KarmaHoudini she just walks out of the story after the deed has been done and never reappears again, suffering no consequences]].

* Kumiko is hated by many fans, both for disowning and verbally abusing her daughter, Haruka, and for being portrayed as a character to be sympathized with, despite her actions.

** The nameless old lady in Episode 1 crosses it when she ''knowingly'' gives up the cat that Haruka had been feeding to an animal shelter—she basically sentenced to cat to death out of spite.

* JerkassWoobie:
** [[spoiler:Kumiko Kotoura]]. A huge {{Jerkass}} to her own daughter [[spoiler:by disowning her for unknowingly revealing her affair and considered to send her to the mental ward]], however [[spoiler:she lives in constant regret of the aforementioned disowning and failure to be a proper mother.]] There's also the fact that [[spoiler:her husband refused to help with Haruka, put all the responsibility of 'fixing' her on her, and started not coming home. This combined with the Haruka problem drove Kumiko to drink and have the above mentioned affair. [[DownerBeginning We all know how that turned out...]]]]
** In the first chapter of manga, apparently Manabe sees Haruka as this as well, and he would like to cross the "jerkass" off from this trope.

* TakeThatScrappy: After her HeelFaceTurn, Hiyori changes from antagonistic bully to group ButtMonkey. The poster Haruka gets from Manabe in episode 5 says it all.
** Likewise, Manabe, for a short time at least, treats Hiyori with hilarious contempt once her friendship with Haruka is solidified.

* BaseBreaker: Manabe's sexual fantasies of Haruka. Since she has full access of his mind, she gets glimpses of his perverted thoughts. It's either hilarious because of how outrageous some of the fantasies are or it's disgusting because it could be considered sexual harassment.

Their {{mondergreen}} for ED ''the Flower of Hope'' is particularly well-known, due to the fact that it's an extremely rare case when the mondegreen-ed version is still a ''serious love song''. The quoted line come from the mondergreen of the first half-line of the lyrics (originally ''nanika ni tsumadzuitara''), mondegreened to "Nan likai ni shi wo zhongyu tanran..."[[/labelnote]] %%source: https://zh.moegirl.org/%E7%A9%BA%E8%80%B3#.E6.95.B4.E6.9B.B2.E7.A9.BA.E8.80.B3.E7.B1.BB

* MoralEventHorizon: The manga revealed Haruka's mother planned to [[spoiler:send Haruka to the mental ward]] and got into a fight with Zenzou about it.

-->'''Manabe''': *But, to me, she is forcing herself to build a wall around herself with that emotionless face...*

* HoYay:

* TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste: Moritani begins as an antagonistic AlphaBitch, but CharacterDevelopment [[RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap saves her from being one of the most hated characters in the cast.]]

** Hiyori for {{Mind Rap|e}}ing and bullying Haruka in episode 2, and made her fell into HeroicBSOD in episode 3. To put into perspective, Hiyori is a ChildhoodFriend-turned-HopelessSuitor, a type that can usually get some sympathy from the viewers. However, after the events in Episode 2, Hiyori gets some palatable CharacterDevelopment that pushes her into being something more tolerable.

** Haruka's parents, due to their (mis)treatment of Haruka-- her father is plain ParentalNeglect, and while her mother does care for her a bit, she finally [[IHaveNoSon disowned]] her.

-->'''Manabe''': *But, to me, she is forcing herself to build a wall around herself with that emotionless face...*
* ValuesDissonance: Part of the drama of the series comes with the fact Haruka doesn't (and can't) use [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tatemae Tatemae]] for keeping her (and others) secrets for herself, due of her Mind-reading powers and being the Tatemae an important part of the Japanese culture, it's no wonder why she's rejected by her peers.
