* WeightWoe: Averted and subverted. Before the series began, Mugi was picked on because of her weight as a child. She tried to lose weight, but couldn't and fell into a depression because she believe no one would ever love her. She then decided if no one would like her then she should at least like herself. Furthermore, her friends and family made it clear that they all cared deeply for her. So by the time the series began, she was happy and comfortable with her weight. Since then the only time Mugi has been shown to worry about weight on-screen is when she gained enough to start literally bursting out of her clothes.
