YMMV / B Gata H Kei

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Miharu a mature and normal girl stretched to the limit by her best friend, or a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing who treats her only friend as an annoyance at best? ^note Yamada tries to be an Alpha Bitch, but it could be argued that Miharu is the one in their friendship who actually acts a bit like one. Yamada never says anything bad about Miharu's boyfriend, while Miharu strongly implies that Kosuda is plain and outright says that he isn't very smart (though it's part of a deduction to figure out whether he knows what Mayu thinks). Yamada may call Miharu embarrassing names like "F cup," but she never wants to stop being friends with her; Miharu's internal dialogue suggests that she's often tired of being friends with Yamada. Yamada isn't embarrassed to introduce Kosuda to Miharu, even after Miharu bounces her breasts in his face to get Kosuda to go on a double date, but Miharu doesn't want her boyfriend to know that she has "slutbox" friends like the virgin Yamada and immediately gets jealous when Yamada talks to her boyfriend. When explaining why Yamada shouldn't write off Mayu as a nerd who poses no threat in appealing to Kosuda, well-endowed Miharu openly talks about how Yamada's breasts (which are shapely and drive Kosuda crazy) aren't as good as Mayu's big ones. When Mayu says she's worried that Kosuda doesn't like her, Yamada is the one who immediately tries to reassure her while Miharu rolls her eyes at encouraging a rival. While Miharu does a good job of putting up with Yamada's efforts to prove her superiority to be "school queen" and not getting openly jealous or disdainful of Yamada's efforts to be the center of attention, she's not very supportive or encouraging when Yamada enters a beauty contest and doesn't do much to congratulate her when she wins. Miharu is demeaning, disdainful, and semi-hostilely sarcastic toward Yamada way more often than the reverse. Or a combination of both personalities, with/without Yamada's antics possibly bringing out the worse parts of Miharu more often?
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In chapter 222 of the manga, right after Miyano confesses to Kosuda while Yamada is in Kosuda's house, Yamada runs away in frustration and swims through an ocean where she somehow and for no reason at all lifts a 300 kg tuna out of the water like an Olympic weightlifter before going to Takeshita. Even some random nearby fishermen find this strange, and of course it's never mentioned again.
  "How can she lift a 300kg tuna? What could make her so passionate?"
• Les Yay:
  • Episode 5: Mayu and Miharu.
  • Like many other shoujo and hentai tropes, this one gets toyed with a lot:
    • At one point, Yamada needs to talk privately to Takeshita about an embarrassing subject, and locks both of them inside a bathroom stall for that. Two girls standing outside wonder if they are lesbians.
    • In another case, Yamada plans to sneak up on Kosuda inside a dark room and steal his (and her) First Kiss, but accidentally almost ends up kissing Takeshita. She freaks out, saying that if she stopped a moment later she would have to start referring to Takeshita as "Onee-sama".
    • In yet another case, when Kanejou challenges her to a contest to determine who deserves to be "queen of the school", Yamada fantasizes about what form such a contest might take. Being herself, she immediately imagines herself on top of Kanejou in an extremely cheesy yuri scene (at which point she freaks out again).
  • More seriously, in the anime at least, Katase has some very suspicious statements ("screw boys..."), especially when Misato is concerned, that could imply that there might be something going on between them. A very one sided something, that is, since Misato's life just about revolves around looking for a boyfriend.
• Woolseyism: When it isn't being a Gag Dub. Due to Values Dissonance, the original dub is fairly tame for a sex comedy in the eyes of Western audiences, so a great many lines were spiced up to mirror the relative ribaldry.
