* ManicPixieDreamGuy: Itsuomi is a more subdued version - he's not as hyper or wacky as some versions, but he's a rather direct and active guy who dyes his hair silver, has multiple tattoos, and regularly travels (to the extent that the biggest reason it takes as long as it does for him to get together with Yuki is that he took a couple trips abroad after meeting her). Yuki even notes that he experiences worlds she never even imagined, and that getting to know him opens up these worlds to her.

* Tsundere: Oushi towards Yuki. While he does care about her, he acts too rude and insensitive because of her deafness. Even the way he signs reflect this with Yuki remarking his hands are too sharp but sometimes look frail which makes her wonder if he worries about her.
