YMMV / Tawawa on Monday

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Early-Installment Weirdness notwithstanding, what was Sada-chan's original plan when she first came to haunt the video rental worker? Was her goal always to try to find a man she could have sex with, or did she really want to kill him like her namesake, unleashing the pent-up frustrations in life from her being a Former Child Star whose D-Cup Distress outright led to her death in the most ironic way possible? Either way, she ends up finding a man who effectively pacified and purified her spirit by finding out who she used to be and basically loving her for who she is, including the gigantic breasts she likely hated having for so many reasons, giving her back the happiness in undeath that she slowly lost in life.
• Base-Breaking Character: Volleyball-chan increasingly became a more polarized character as the years went on. Some fans appreciate her for being one of the first characters who gives Ai-chan someone to bounce off of outside of her love interest and family, and because she provides an excuse for more skinship between the girls. Other fans think she's an obnoxious pervert character who's been stealing screentime from the Salaryman, since many of Ai-chan's chapters in the web illustrations and in the manga have her hang out with Volleyball instead; and don't like her behavior since it's excused by Ai-chan's sister whereas all the guys would get told off for it. The fans clamoring for her to get a love interest away from Ai-chan were satiated starting from October 2023, in which one of her male classmates is starting to pursue her, but that was met with more base breaking; fans who feared that Volleyball would fall for the guy despite having no interest in men before, and those who welcomed it because of the idea of her awakening to bisexuality or outright "stop" being a lesbian.
• Broken Base:
  • The twist ending of the twins' Comiket chapter. While Twin Switch was obvious from the get-go, some fans were iffy on whether both twins taking turns being the one without a hairclip to keep fooling around with their crush was better over simply having the one without a hairclip and the one with a hairclip being separate people. For detractors of the Twin Switch, they say it makes the guy look bad for being so ignorant he can't even tell his own crush apart and willingly has sex with the "one" he doesn't like, or the girls look bad for taking advantage of the guy's seeming ignorance and leading him on thinking he's only been dealing with one girl every time. People who didn't like the initial setup complained that it felt too adulterous for a series that features relatively honest and healthy relationships with the Tawawa girls and their men.
  • The manga is divisive for varying reasons. One faction feels that despite its attempts to give the characters more of a story, it's becoming clear that Himura doesn't really have much of a story to tell with the IP. Many chapters have just become the same thing over and over again, for example Kouhai-chan getting drunk and becoming slightly more flirty with her Senpai has happened multiple times with no deviation. Others feel the exact opposite and hate to see any deviation from the source material (such as Maegami-chan's morally dubious actions with her partner), feeling that it ruins the characters.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Himura and Ganbare Douki-chan creator Yom get along very well, with a lot of fan overlap between their works as well. Season 2 of the Tawawa anime was done by Yokohama Animation Lab, the studio who previously animated Yom's pantyhose fetish illustration series Miru Tights.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • The Tawawa Challenge.^Explanation #86, where I-chan balances a smartphone on her breasts to help the Salaryman watch a video, prompted a whole slew of fanart and original images where big-breasted characters (and occasionally real-life people) test it out for themselves.
  • Tapioca Challenge^Explanation  The 225th skit features I-chan drinking bubble tea while the plastic cup is put on her breasts. While the picture also was popularized by (and even based off of) real life personality hcupadman doing the same, several fans basically took it as a second Tawawa Challenge, and art followed suit.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: In one illustration, Volleyball-chan is chosen ahead of Ai-chan to be scouted for idol and gravure modelling. Some fans thought it would lead into Volleyball having her own solo arc and would provide some time away from hovering around Ai-chan and her sister, but after that illustration the incident was ignored by the narrative.
• The Woobie: Sada-chan's backstory, while nowhere near as horrific as her namesake's, is rather tragic, if portrayed a little parodically. Once a popular child star whose career seemed like it could only go upwards, it effectively plateaued once she hit puberty and she developed unusually (even by the Tawawa universe's standards) large breasts that made her lose acting jobs and earn gossip from peers in both school and the acting industry. It seemed like she loved being a celebrity, the kind that was adored by people rather than the source of ridicule that she had become. In sheer desperation, she took an acting job where she would parody The Ring, only for her ridiculous breasts to cause her death in the most ironic way possible: imbalancing her, causing her to fall into the apparently-real well. So now, she's a cursed ghost like her namesake and the character she was parodying, and apparently forgot a bit about who she even was. It's unclear whether her original goal for the man she comes to haunt was to act out as any vengeful ghost would or to let out another kind of frustration, but it'd be understandable if she would've acted like a cursed vengeful spirit. Thankfully, the man's dedication to her, including rediscovering her identity, effectively purified her and her intention to escape the screen changed to wanting to bone him, with happy results for both of them.
