* BaseBreakingCharacter: [[CatBoy Shichi.]] He's loved for his [[{{Moe}} cuteness]] and brotherly love towards Maruchi. He's hated for his [[BlahBlahBlah constantly-running mouth]] and serving no other purpose than to be the local MotorMouth.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Surprisingly, a lot of people like Maruchi for his [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerkassery]] as opposed to hating him for it.
* GenreTurningPoint: Cali very specifically stated that the eleventh arc will be the beginning of some game-changing chapters. [[WhamEpisode She didn't lie.]]
* HilariousInHindsight: That scene with a five-year-old Maruchi harrassing Akemi to play with him? Yeah. [[spoiler: That's a full-grown adult man acting like that in public. ''Consciously.'']]
* HoYay: A lot of chapter 11-3. The chapter features, as the author puts it so nicely, [[ItMakesSenseInContext "Rokuro getting his topless self looked at and touched by two older men."]]
