* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Matsuda and Nori are the most literal examples, as they both have actual blue hair, but other characters have their own strange colors as well. Tomiko's is an even mix of purple and blond, leading one to wonder which if either is her natural color; Mizuki's is a very pale shade of blue; and Iyakami's is flat maroon. Possibly Soushin also qualifies, as her hair looks just a little too orange to classify as a natural bright ginger.
