YMMV / W-Change!!

• Values Dissonance: The story seems to conclude that one person's dreams aren't as important as the responsibility of continuing the family legacy. Both Maki and Fukama are heirs to two very influential Yakuza groups who otherwise pretend to be normal students. Maki, in particular, staunchly refuses to acknowledge her "family business" and would rather wash her hands clean of them rather than take the mantle of the clan's future head. Halfway through the series, Fukama declares that he needs "to wake up from his daydream" and tells Maki that he intends to stick with the underworld and succeed his clan, giving up his dreams of going to university and entering normal society. Maki goes through a Despair Event Horizon after this, but eventually learns to accept her family and marry Fukama to become a Yakuza bride. Such an ending is almost unheard of in Western works, where the hero would always choose their dreams over family expectations, but most Asian countries do prioritize family legacy over individuality.
