* BaseBreakingCharacter: Kaoru being a tall, beautiful, buxom, AcademicAthlete with feelings for Masato was enough to give her a fanbase, but other readers disliked her inclusion because she's too standard and safe a romantic option compared to [[WholesomeCrossdresser Yuki]].
* EpilepticTrees: The idea that Yuki might actually really be a cis female, and her mother was just mistaken or having a joke at Masato's expense or so on... basically, a lot of explanations for Yuki possibly actually being a biological girl. This is despite the fact that the manga has gone so far as to have Masato see Yuki naked and ''sitting in his lap'' at one point, and he still thinks Yuki's a guy.
* FanWank: Some of the theories about Yuki "really" being physiologically female can reach these levels. The manga was even encouraging some of the early fanwank, since even Masato wasn't sure Yuki was really physiologically a male, and a couple of times tried to catch Yuki changing to verify it (although he either chickened out or was thwarted).
* TheScrappy: Masato, due to the way he treats Yuki and Kaoru.
