* In ''Manga/WhisperMeALoveSong'', Yori tends to refer to people by their surnames, even her best friend Aki. She continues to address Himari as "Kino-san" most of the time after they start dating, despite Himari calling her "[[FirstNameBasis Yori-senpai]]," and while she agrees to Himari's request to use her first name more, she often falls back on using Himari's surname.
