* From relatively early in the series, it's clear that Kaguya is the victim of [[ParentalNeglect a father and a family who don't give her much attention at all]]. However, it's slowly revealed that this isn't exactly a bad thing, because the Shinomiya family - and particularly Gan'an, her father - [[BigScrewedUpFamily are hinted to be some bad, bad people.]] How terrifying is Gan'an? Kaguya is actually 'relieved' that she rarely interacts with her father, and she's so stressed out about her father finding out that she agreed to go to America with Shirogane that it triggers a personality switch for several days.

**Shinomiya Un'yo, Kaguya's older brother, is a deeply unpleasant man who is willing to kidnap and... extract information from Hayasaka in order to get an edge on his older brothers. ''He's also the brother Kaguya dislikes the least''.

* Ishigami fought to preserve Otomo's smile and ultimately ended up in disgrace. It's poetic justice and a sign of growth that even if he didn't get the girl, he preserved the tearful smile of Tsubame (whose personality is noted to be very similar to Otomo's) in a much more mature and less self-sacrificing manner.

* Kaguya's lack of disappointment when Shirogane's Christmas gift for her turns out to be an [[ConvenienceStoreGiftShopping expensive Kendama]] makes sense if one were to take account on the fact that she gave him a hand fan for a birthday gift and a stationary set for a Christmas gift. Its one of the signs that all she wanted was a normal life and that said Kendama is a sign of Shirogane trying to be his actual self as well.
** Fast forward to chapter 194, we learn that since Shuichi'in's students are all wealthy by default, expensive gifts meant nothing to them. Its possible that Shirogane has no knowledge of this since he just enroll into their high school from the first year and lacks a social circle before he was scouted by the previous President of Student Council.

That's not the reason Iino gave Kaguya a low score. Kaguya was off the mark of the competition.

To see his relationship with Fujiwara devolve into this may have vindicated Shirogane's fears about what would happen if he showed his true self to Kaguya.

* Kashiwagi accepted the necklace gift Tsubasa bought for her despite being seen as tacky by the Student Council girls. This necklace was suggested to him by Maki, who thought that it would get them to break up but fails. The reason why [[SpringtimeForHitler it works on the opposite way]] is because Kashiwagi was known to copy Maki a lot in the past, so ''anything'' that the latter prefers is acceptable to the former.

* Kaguya and Kashiwagi dominate the first two places in tying cherry stem with their tongue, according to the bonus page. Doing this means that the person is a good kisser, so is it any wonder that these two are the only girls to be seen kissing their boyfriends up till Chapter 173?

* In Chapter 51, Fujiwara does a fortune telling that describes a person's personality based on their gender and birthday. When Fujiwara tries the test on herself, she is told that she symbolizes dedication and kindness. Kaguya is very confused to hear this, as in her opinion that doesn't fit Fujiwara at all. However, ''Ishigami has the same birthday'', and he is definitely one of the kindest people in the series, [[MeaningfulName as his name indicates]]. While Ishigami is later told a different fortune telling that accurately describes him as a symbol of "misfortune and sacrifice", and that he should think before acting, Fujiwara's fortune telling also fits him well.

Hayasaka is like a big sister to Kaguya, and Maki is very similar to Kaguya, so it makes a lot of sense that Hayasaka will get along well with Maki, too.

* Of course Dr. Tanuma of all people would be the one to check on Shirogane when he's hospitalized in Chapter 147. Aside from being the Shinomiya's private doctor, he treated Kaguya in Chapter 79 where he was also shown the picture of her crush, Shirogane from her phone when the girl try to deny her feelings for Shirogane. As soon as Shirogane was admitted to the hospital, its not that hard for him to put two and two together, eventually using his authority in the hospital to personally treat said patient.

* In Chapter 192, there is another parallel between Osaragi and Ishigami, and that is how Tsubame initiated contact with them. Tsubame opens a conversation with Osaragi in middle school the same way she did with Ishigami, and like in Ishigami's case, Tsubame appears to be faceless at the beginning. However, readers by now know she really is GoodAllAlong, and her approaching pariahs like Osaragi and Ishigami, unconcerned by rumors, is really just her trying to reach out and offer them help. As a result, both Ishigami and Osaragi open her eyes to her (though this took Ishigami a bit longer), and Tsubame doesn't appear to be faceless anymore.

* Chapter 192 reveals a part of Osaragi's past, where it's shown that like Ishigami she was also mocked and bullied by others in school, which made her more introverted and caused her to avert her eyes from others. Even Tsubame initially appeared to be TheFaceless to her, when they talked in middle school. Thinking back to Chapter 85, the first chapter that she narrated, like in Ishigami's chapters, the faces of the students are also blank... except for Ishigami. She only has eyes for Ishigami.

* There are two layers of FridgeHorror to Shirogane's obsession with academic success. One is his not unjustified impression that Kaguya only knew he existed because he took the top score from her. The other is his mother abandoning him and his father basically because they weren't successful, only taking his more obviously brilliant sister with her (who soon escaped from her and came back home).

* In the same chapter, Iino mentions to Shirogane that she already knows he and Kaguya are dating. This makes sense, since Iino suspected from the beginning that the two have a relationship, and it's heavily implied that Ishigami saw Kaguya and Shirogane on a date in the mall, so it's not unlikely that Iino saw them, too. Also, her and Ishigami's reaction isn't actually shown when [[SarcasticConfession Kaguya sarcastically confesses]] in Chapter 163 that they are dating. (Note that Kaguya never said that she was joking, it's simply what Fujiwara assumed after Kaguya showed the "You got pranked" sign.)

* In Chapter 190, Iino describes her type of man: He has to be smarter than her, serious and follows all the rules. However, she admits that a type is just a set of preferences and, despite Ishigami apparently not being her type at all, she tells Shirogane that she felt jealous after hearing about Ishigami's date with Tsubame. Keep in mind that in Chapter 114, her previous description of her type of man was different: she wants a prince who understands her, looks after her and helps her [[DamselInDistress when she needs him]]. That's exactly what Ishigami had done (without her knowledge). At the end of the culture festival, Iino begins to see the good things about Ishigami. He shows her the fruits of her labor while she is alone and patrolling, giving her the recognition and affection she is craving for. After the arm-breaking incident during Christmas, they also spend more time together and she sees how understanding and caring Ishigami can be, which just reinforces her already growing feelings for him.

As a result, everyone around him appears to be TheFaceless, even Shirogane and Kaguya in Chapter 88, when he sees Otomo again. Shirogane's GetAHoldOfYourselfMan gets him out of his HeroicBSOD and he can see Shirogane's face again, and after barely losing the race (and expecting to be hated by his team), Tsubame and the rest cheer him up.
