* GoneHorriblyRight: As stated elsewhere Himari becoming Laureley's manager was just a spiteful prank by Shiho, but Himari took her job seriously and quickly learned to become an adept manager, so much so in fact that after everything is settled Shiho and the others legitimately worry that if Himari leaves it will be a major set back to their future career plans. Luckily Himari enjoyed her time enough that even without the incentive she decides to stay on as manager.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Shiho had Himari become Laureley's manager largely to spite Yori. It's only after the deal has been accepted that Himari's complete lack of knowledge about what a manager does is brought up. Much to their luck, she is a fast learner and has plenty of initiative.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Tsundere}}: Harshly deconstructed with Shiho. Her inability to open herself to others and almost compulsive need to be mean to the person she likes for minor slights does nothing but isolate her from her friends and create emotional trouble for everyone. She herself is included as part of the "everyone", as nearly every scene where she is alone shows her lamenting over how she can't stop pushing people away.

** Shiho asks Aki a question that hits close to home after Laureley's performance.
--->'''Shiho''': Was I better than that girl behind you who you love so much?
** After hearing about Shiho's time with SS Girls, Yori comes to the conclusion that Shiho didn't hate being with them as much as Aki thought. Aki claims that Shiho never enjoyed her time with SS Girls, and any time she looked that way was a lie, but then Yori replies, "Mizuguchi. Do you really think that?" Aki is left speechless for two pages until she finally admits that she does not.

* FatalFlaw: Shiho tends to run away when any sort of challenge or adversity appears, which often ends up causing her a lot of angst.

* WhamLine: In Chapter 10, after Aki asks Himari how she feels about Yori, only for Himari to reply that she's unsure, Aki gives a startling response.
-->'''Aki''': Himari-chan, just so you know, I'm in love with Yori. Not as a friend. I mean in the romantic way. Hey, I may not know what it is you want in the end, Himari-chan, but do you mind if I take Yori for myself?
