* SempaiKohai: {{Deconstructed}}. Hana's complex about being HeldBackInSchool is due to this trope. It's difficult for former or future classmates to identify her social status if they knew she's at a "wrong" age for the grade, which makes making or maintaining friendship difficult for her. This is why her mother's plan to avoid she falling into {{Hikikomori}} is for her to move to a different town so that nobody at the new school knows about this.

* CornerOfWoe: Hana hid in a corner and assuming this pose when she was having a HeroicBSOD in episode 2.
* HeroicBSOD: Episode two contains one as Hana's {{flashback}}, specifically, it's the aftermath of her having mumps ''during'' the high school entrance exam/ middle school graduation and its potential social fallout. It's one of the more intense examples in a ''Kirara'' series, in that ''{{Hikikomori}}'' is being put on the table over the prospect of it.
* InnocentInnuendo: When Eiko mentioned she may just call the soup her younger sister gives "Yonnger Sister Sauce"[[note]]The Japanese viewers can usually understand this as a NotSafeForWork term.[[/note]]. Hana freaks over it over its connotations, and Eiko eventually concedes, saying that sounds like it's from her sister's secretions.
