These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Completely averted. Sawako is shown cooking and knitting presents for Christmas, is gentle and extremely, and we mean ''extremely'', shy, passive, and willing to be ordered around. And she never, except for her PE outfit, wears pants. Yet no Fan Dumb screaming that girlishness = lack of personality has shown itself, and the fandom proves that it can love a heroine as a "real woman", when the character is well-written.
Kazehaya even points out that it's somewhat unusual for Sawako to wear pants in Chapter 55.
Values Dissonance: When Ayane lets her older boyfriend know that she wants to break up with him he hits her. He does this hard enough to leave a mark, and she's seen wearing a bandage for a couple episodes too. After she explains how she got the bruise to her friends, the issue is never really talked about again, and more or less shrugged off.
