Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! has a good number of fuzzy moments, typically related to the girls' dedication to their project and support of each other's skills.


  • Kanamori bursts through the club wall to save Asakusa and Mizusaki on the roof. It turns out to be pointless, but it shows that for all her rough exterior, she does care about their safety.
  • Kanamori treats the group to ramen; while she claims it's "advance payment" for the others to work on overtime, Mizusaki notes it's still kind of her. Later at the ramen place, the girls are quick to give Kanamori a blanket while the latter naps, having done a lot of work with negotiations.
    • While it's typically joked that Kanamori is the money-obsessed "yakuza" of the three, she does also work hard to ensure that the group is able to do what they keep doing, and that they actually get their work done, firm as she may be. There's a reason Asakusa considers her a "comrade," which from her tone is a bigger deal than merely a friend.
  • When Asakusa's hit hard with impostor syndrome, Kanamori rather casually tells her that she thinks she's an amazing artist. Asakusa very quickly shrugs it off but it's made clear by how quick Kanamori is to say it that she, for all her claims that she doesn't necessarily get the appeal behind anime and why one would want to work in the medium, does think that Asakusa is more than capable for the job.
  • How Mizusaki came to love the finer details of animation. Her sweet grandmother indulged her childish fascination with how she threw tea out onto the lawn. When she was older, Mizusaki used the movements of her fellow models in training in order to draw a walking chart, so her ailing grandmother could still find ways to walk around.
  • Although they were against her being an animator at first, Mizusaki's parents are genuinely in awe when they see their daughter's talents in the Motion Picture Club's animated collaboration with the Robot Club, and they show their approval to her and the rest of the club who proudly call themselves her comrades.
  • Asakusa and Mizusaki visiting a sick Kanamori at home after she saved the former from getting swept off in one of the city's oddly-formed waterways; they bring her the milk she favours most. She, in return, is entirely reassuring about their concerns with the school blocking potential avenues of funding and revenue.
    • Kanamori saving Asakusa also deserves more love due to how immediately she jumped into the water as soon as Asakusa fell in.
  • The fact that Asakusa and Kanamori became as good friends as they are after initially being wary of each other in middle school. For Asakusa especially it's quite a big deal, given that she didn't seem to have any real friends before meeting Kanamori and was ready to accept living almost entirely in isolation before the two of them managed to connect to one another. In spite of their differences, the pair really do consider each other True Companions, with Asakusa readily calling Kanamori her "comrade."
