- Episode 3:
- Tsubame tells Misha a story about a panda attending her school as a metaphor for how one should not judge a person on their appearance without beginning to know them. Though, of course, this is slightly mitigated by Tsubame adding that she snuck into Misha's bathroom each day to measure how much toilet paper she used.
- Misha makes friends with Mimika and later on saves the class hamsters after they had been restricted to one cage. She would end up adopting three of them.

- Episode 8:
- While Tsubame vehemently rejects the notion, Misha takes note on how much Midori liked Tsubame, and suggests that she marry her so that she could have a stable living.
- Misha's concern for Midori when she wakes up to find her having bled profusely. While she is still weirded out by her, it's made clear that Misha treats Midori respectfully in comparison with putting up with Tsubame's antics.
- Midori finally gets a job: cleaning up her employer's houses. While it suddenly become morbid, the fact that Midori is happy with a job she's actually good at is enough to cover that quirk.
- Episode 10:

- In a twisted way, Tsubame's remarks of dedication towards Misha when she was facing the mother bear are poignant.

- At this point, it is made apparent that the reason that Yui constantly tries to have competitions with Misha is because she wants to be her friend.

- Really, the fact that the two could bond over having their own losses is touching in itself.
- Child Tsubame is adorable.
- Despite loving her, Midori helps Tsubame to realize how much she had come to care for Misha after she had seemingly spoken out of turn.
- Misha mellows out during the end credits such as when she played around with Yui, reminding her that she shot milk out of her nose the prior day. On the opposite end, Yui very clearly enjoys having Mimika as a friend, even if she isn't willing to admit it. Even with Tsubame again trying to push for the two to get married, Misha ultimately had grown to tolerate her behavior, accepting Tsubame for what she was.
OVA
- Yui calls her competiton with Misha to a draw solely because she enjoyed her day at the hot springs resort with her.
