* AdaptationalJerkass: While Ryuji gets along with Akira as he does in canon, he buys into the rumors about Ann whoring herself to Kamoshida and is openly hostile to Makoto to the point of requesting a change of heart on the Phan-site.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Ryuji asks Makoto in Chapter 19 if she would have cared about Akira if she didn't know he wanted to study. Makoto finds herself unable to respond because she realizes there is a chance she might not have even paid attention to Akira if she didn't notice him in the library.
