* AccidentalHandHold: In the first chapter, Satou and Kusakabe both rushed to pick up the latter's drink after dropping it in shock, causing the trope to happen. This sparked something in Kusakabe and directly led to their FirstKiss in the spur of the moment.

* {{Callback}}: ''Blanc'''s cover art for chapters 1 through 8 are the backgrounds of places or locations significant in ''Doukyuusei'' such as the park where Kusakabe kissed Sajou for the first time and the highway they took to Sajou's mock exam.



-->'''Sajou''': I'm the one who should be embarrassed! Since I was born to an old-fashioned bigot of a man like you! You work overseas, and yet your worldview hasn't expanded at all! Because of that you didn't notice anything at all about your son! Your wife as well! You left her all alone [[spoiler:and made her last years sad and lonely]]!
* CerebusSyndrome: ''Doukyusei'' didn't have much tension, so its sequel ''Sotsugyousei'' upped the angst by having Sajou's mother diagnosed with terminal cancer and the couple's fear of separation because of Sajou attending university at Kyoto while Kusakabe wants to stay in Tokyo. ''Blanc'' then intensifies it when Sajou interprets Kusakabe saying they don't have to rush getting married as him forgetting the promise they made in ''Sotsugyousei'', and asks to take a break from their relationship, which Kusakabe in turn misinterprets as Sajou ''wanting to end it''. If that's not enough, Sajou's mother is back in the hospital after her cancer becomes severe [[spoiler:and tragically dies from it]].

Added DiffLines:

* DisappearedDad: Sajou's dad is never around for most of Sajou's life due to working in Korea which led to Sajou having to become self-reliant and facing hardships without help, especially after his mom is diagnosed with cancer. It's very telling that we finally see him when [[spoiler:Sajou's mother just passed away after not visiting her when her condition was stable]].
