History YMMV / SlowStart

* ValuesDissonance: Viewers outside of Japan, having a less rigid SenpaiKohai dynamic, find it puzzling as for why the social fallout of Hana's {{Ronin}} situation would be serious enough for her to consider becoming a {{Hikikomori}} out of shame. In Japan, the stigma of being HeldBackInSchool would make it harder for her to make friends, so she keeps it secret for much of the series, out of fear of what her friends might think. When she actually does tell them, [[spoiler:they're perfectly fine with it.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Chapter 90 seems as though Hana finally summoned the courage to tell her friends about her having been a {{Ronin}}, but it ends up being AllJustADream. As a result, some readers who felt that the plotline of Hana keeping it secret from her friends had worn out its welcome got frustrated.

* CounterpartComparison: There's a number similarities between Kamuri and Kanna from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' (i.e. they are both lavender-haired characters voiced by Maria Naganawa that tend to [[BigEater eat and]] [[{{Sleepyhead}} sleep a lot]]), which has resulted in [[CommonCrossover the two appearing a number of fan art pieces together]].

* FunnyMoments: In the seventh episode, all of Eiko's classmates (save Kamuri), gave Eiko one hairpin ''each'' as a birthday present, making her bangs full of hairpins.

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Many a viewer praises the anime's animation, with every background character given their own unique design and the small amounts of extra fluidity in the main characters' movements.

** Eiko's dense vacation schedule with several of her female classmates makes [[GamerChick Tamate]] wonder if she's going on a [[DatingSim Harem Route]].
** On an outing in the third episode, Eiko made effective flirts to her classmate Hina but followed with {{Just Joking Justification}}s. Hina wondered whether those justifications were sincere:
*** Hina thanks Eiko for coming with her to purchase a limited-edition toy. Eiko replied it's fun just looking at Hina's happy face...then said she expected Hina to make a comeback.
*** Hina noticed her smoothie has two drinking straws, and wondered if it's for couples to drink together. Eiko then proceeds to drink half of it from the straw closer to her, and told Hina that's probably for that purpose.
** Eiko's present for Eiko and Tamate's birthdays are two teddy bears [[RedStringOfFate tied with a red ribbon]]. When Hana tries to separate the toys, she found it not unlike separating two lovers.
** After both Hana and Tamate agreed to keep the toys tied at Hina's apartment while Tamate will come to see it more often, Eiko comments that an EventFlag has been raised.
** In the third episode, Tamate calls out Eiko as Kamuri's husband.
