"Surprisingly Realistic" specifically means that it's surprising because it's usually depicted in an unrealistic way in other works, which none of these examples explain properly.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Repeatedly:
** Kosuke is a good boxer, but his diet problems gave him repeated poor results and a poor reputation.
*** In particular, in one occasion he ate too much right after the weigh-in and ended up puking during the match, and after that debacle ''nobody'' wanted to fight him. The only reason his career didn't tank was that he had accidentally punched and knocked Amakusa Jiro down during footwork, and Amakusa held a grudge and wanted to fight him.
*** In another occasion he took the challenge of a welterweight who had never won a fight, and for once he didn't have to slim down but instead could fatten up a bit because his opponent was from a higher weight class. He almost lost because the excess fat slowed him down and sapped his stamina against an opponent that outmuscled him.
** Sakura Manabu is a skilled boxer, enough to get the upper hand against Kosuke during most of their fight... But has poor punching power, a weak chin, and isn't showy, and depends entirely from [[BoringYetPractical a boring if effective style]]. Since boxing is a spectator sport he never got a chance for an important fight, and Kosuke's first good hit was an instant knock out.
** Kurenai, the OPBF champion, never needed to go the distance or was hit in the face in the entire career, as his punching power and technique allowed him to take down his opponents early. Against Kosaku, who could take his punches and is good enough to strike him in the face, he found himself in a much harder fight than expected, and [[spoiler:lost by knock out after one punch in the face too many]].

Now a YMMV trope, so moving to the YMMV page.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The central premise of the plot is Kosaku's unintentional obliviousness to the nuances of Angela's faith, such as treating her being a nun as being interchangeable with her being a {{miko}} and thus considering it acceptable to pursue her romantically. This is justified because Christianity is ''extremely'' [[UsefulNotes/JapaneseChristian rare in Japan]] -- a rough comparison is comparable to Buddhists or Hindus in America -- and it precepts are largely unknown to the general population.

* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Kosaku has a typically Japanese set of values, and just doesn't get that nuns could have different ones. Kosaku runs headfirst during the Christmas episode, as he has no idea why the Mother Abbess has forbidden him to strike Tacos Hachiro on the tattoo of the Virgin Mary that covers most of his torso on pain of keeping him from meeting with Angela on Christmas.[[note]]When the Tokugawa Shogunate banned Christianity, Christians were forced to stomp on holy images to prove they rejected their faith on pain of death. Tacos Hachiro, being Mexican, had no idea that revealing his tattoo would get this reaction[[/note]] In the end he wins the match and explains that he didn't strike the tattoo but his opponent's torso under it, they accept his explanation and allow him to meet Angela... and take part in a religious procession rather than [[UsefulNotes/ChristmasInJapan take her to a date]], much to his surprised bemusement.
