* DarkerAndEdgier: ''IDOL x IDOL STORY!'' takes the divisive competition arcs from ''New Game!'' and makes a whole manga out of them. Originally, ''New Game!'' was intended as a darker, more cynical work. Even though he lightened the manga up before publication, the competition arcs -- which earned him a lot of flack from ''{{iyashikei}}'' fans -- seem like a remnant of his original idea. For ''IDOL x IDOL STORY!'', apparently he took advantage of the protection from editors that comes with having a best-selling manga and made the kind of work he originally wanted to make with ''New Game!''

* AuthorAppeal: Like [[Manga/IsTheOrderARabbit Koi]], he seems to have a thing for Europe. His first work, ''Komorebi no Kuni'', takes place in a Victorian city, and ''New Game!'' has multiple characters visit France. Also, if we assume Aoba Suzukaze's feelings about ''Fairy Stories'' mirror his own about ''VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile'', then he joined tri-Ace specifically because he loved the first game's European aesthetic.

* WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings: Tokunou was very open with his fans by responding and sending signed illustrations for physical letters his fans would send him. Unfortunately, due to people reselling said illustrations for their own profit, he announced that he would no longer be doing this practice.
