* BaseBreakingCharacter: Tsubaki is this for some readers because of her ExtremeDoormat issues. Some readers sympathize with her while others feel that because of her inability to be honest to Kyota, misunderstandings keep happening between them.
* NoYay: How most readers feel about the main couple. There's just no way around it; Kyota is abusive as all hell. And Tsubaki is too timid to truly stand up to him, making their relationship seem more like a hostage situation than a bond formed out of love.
* {{Squick}}: The surprising amounts of AttemptedRape.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The manga is clearly trying to present Kyota as TroubledButCute and a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. It falls flat for most readers because not only is Kyota just a straight-up [[TheBully bully]] toward Tsubaki from day one for basically no reason, he also forces a kiss on her and attempts to rape her at one point. Apart from that his DarkAndTroubledPast of his mom walking away from his family that is meant to explain and excuse why he is the way he is in the present isn't really all that tragic. Nor does it explain why he's seemingly so obsessed with making Tsubaki's life miserable.
