* SuicideAsComedy: When their grandpa realises he can't be Santa Clause, he instructs the oblivious Kou to tie a rope into a knot, resulting in the boy cheerfully holding up a noose. Grandpa then tries to hang himself while on his hospital bed, getting a comical reaction from Kou, who realises what just happened. It goes even further when, after this attempt fails, he tries to choke himself on rice, so Tsukiko resorts to grabbing his feet and swinging him up and down to make him spit it out.

* SkinshipGropeSkinshipGrope: Mariri, already aware that Tsukiko is posing as a guy, calmly walks in on her while she is showering. The latter desperately tries to cover herself in the steamy room, but when Mariri has her in her reach, she drops her towel and firmly grabs Tsukiko's breasts. Seductively commenting on their size, Mariri moves their wet bodies closer together, laying a tender hand on Tsukiko's thigh, while bringing her face to the other, and, as the water drops roll over their skin, she whispers into the flustered girls' ear, asking if she will marry her brother. Who is a mean, arrogant, self-centered rich kid, that Tsukiko beats up on a daily basis due to her dislike of him. Cue a big "what!".
