Then it came out, and the resemblances did not escape the attention of /a/."

** The copypasta has become so ubiquitous that when you search for the generic term, [[https://www.google.com/search?q=a+boy+falls+in+love+with+a+girl "A boy falls in love with a girl"]] on [[Website/{{Google}}]], the first few search results are all related to ''Keit-Ai''.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In the [[http://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/keit-ai/list?title_no=36825 webcomic]] version of ''Keit-Ai'', its "P.S. Face to Face" chapter features a data limit surcharge in US dollars instead of yen even though it's set in Japan.

* GratuitousJapanese: The original fiction version of ''Keit-Ai'' has a tendency to needlessly add Japanese words, terms, memes, and references to it, often to its detriment (like the way it insists on using "Iincho" instead of the English equivalent of ClassRepresentative).

* {{Defictionalization}}: ''Keit-Ai'' was originally a concept for an anime that doesn't exist written JustForFun on a thread on Website/FourChan. Though it never actually became an anime (jokes about ''YourName'' aside), it did spawn multiple [[WebOriginalFiction original stories]], [[{{Fanfic}} fan fiction]], and an honest-to-goodness [[{{Webcomics}} webcomic]] through "[[MemeticMutation meme magic]]".

* LostInTranslation: There are those who'd argue "Keit-Ai" is an impossible pun in Japanese because "携帯" is composed of "Kei" and "Tai" syllables, so there's no place for "愛" or "Ai". Also, there's no such word as "Keit" in Japanese and to render it as "ケイト" or "Keito" would just ruin the original meaning of the intended pun (something about love and phones).

** It's also been linked to/claimed to actually be the mega-hit Creator/MakotoShinkai movie, ''Anime/YourName'', to the point of people making Keit-Ai references in edited [[http://skyholic.tumblr.com/post/135014050529 promo posters]] and [[https://angryanimebitches.com/2016/11/thoughts-on-kimi-no-na-wa Your Name reviews]].

* IncrediblyLamePun: For some people, combining the rōmaji versions of the Japanese words of "Keitai" and "Ai" constitutes a groan-inducing pun.
