* AnimationBump: While the rest of the series makes liberal use of LimitedAnimation and PastelChalkedFreezeFrame to avoid animating complex scenes, episode 27 has suddenly much more fluid, dynamic, and expressive animation than any other episode.

* AscendedExtra: Tomoko gets much more facetime in the anime than in the manga, mainly thanks to a specific early incident being changed. ([[spoiler: Namely in the manga, Tomoko only rekindles her trashed-by-Mariko friendship with Nanako almost at the end of the story; in the anime, she does this after less than two episodes.]])

* AsYouKnow: The specifics of Fukiko and Rei's relationship [[spoiler:at least insofar as they understand it]] are established in such a manner, when they visit the grave of the latter's mother.



* EnemyCivilWar: The Sorority's most senior members scheme against Fukiko when they lose faith in her strategy to [[spoiler:prevent the club's dissolution; Ogiwara in particular displays hints of TheStarscream.]] Fukiko sees it coming and [[TheChessmaster incites strife]] among her would-be usurpers.



* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The Sorority is presented first and foremost as a prestige club for TheBeautifulElite. Its purported functions, while ''occasionally'' plot-relevant, are on display much less than the private parties membership affords.

RavenHairIvorySkin: Mariko, all the more striking for her rich red lips.


Added DiffLines:

* SeriousBusiness: The Sorority's senior members attach immense self-worth to their membership and two of them are driven to [[spoiler:kidnap Nanako]] when its existence is threatened. The confrontation very nearly ends with a ''death''.
* ShipTease: Mariko and Takashi. She's at her most {{Tsundere}} with him, powers through several emotional nadirs in his company, and he privately admits to finding her more [[AmazonChaser fascinating]] than impossible. Notably, he ferries Mariko and her mother around while they're [[spoiler:house-hunting, and they make their last appearance side by side at Henmi and Kaoru's wedding.]]

** Fukiko and Takeshi's family have ''several'', complete with greenhouses, rose gardens, huge pools, picturesque forests, and the odd RoomFullOfCrazy to even everything out. About all they lack is TheThingThatGoesDoink.
