Her dignified demeanor often completely falls apart whenever Taiyo does anything romantic for her.
Ass Pull: Chapter 32 reveals the Yozakura siblings' grandparents are still alive, despite the previous chapters implying that all their relatives had died. Ban's prior absence is handwaved away as him being in prison at the time, but why Keiko didn't attend her own granddaughter's wedding or was never as much as mentioned to Taiyo is never explained.
Base-Breaking Character: Kyoichiro. Many people either find him as a interesting character or just a creepy stalker due to his obsession with Mutsumi (his younger sister).
Broken Base: The non-plot driven chapters. While some find them heartwarming, others find it a drag.
Cult Classic: Mission: Yozakura Family hasn't generated the same buzz as much higher profile publications like Jujutsu Kaisen or Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. But it's well-liked enough to be continuously serialized for years when many of the manga it debuted with have since been canceled.

Growing the Beard: After Taiyo and Mutsumi's official wedding and the introduction of Hinagiku, it's widely agreed the series improved in quality, as it stopped continually introducing new characters and concepts every chapter and instead stuck to developing more of what it had, including finally giving the Yozakura siblings some proper development after being Out of Focus for much of the series until then. The Kuroyuri Arc especially got a good amount of praise from readers, owing to the effective Tone Shift and the Character Development given to Taiyo.
Memetic Mutation: It exists. Explanation With many viewers finding the series So Okay, It's Average, a lot of Jump readers constantly forget its existence (at least jokingly) and have to be reminded that it indeed "exists" and that it is the extent of the compliments one can give it. It also became somewhat of an Appropriated Appellation for actual fans of the series anytime it does more than just "existing" (like ranking well in the table of contents or receiving a color page.)
Never Live It Down: Downplayed and Played for Laughs. Mutsumi becoming more and more in love with Taiyo to the point that many fans refer to her as a simp. It doesn’t help that she later created merchandise and a cult based around her love for Taiyo.

Tear Jerker: Living through a car crash that killed the rest of his family is hard enough on Taiyo, but a later flashback shows that his little brother Hide was still breathing when he regained consciousness. Pinned in the wreckage and too badly wounded to move, Taiyo couldn't do anything but watch as his brother died.
The Woobie: Nanao. His hulking appearance is a side-effect of his immunity to poisons, so he takes a drug that shrinks his body down so that he can go to school. Eventually, he starts developing an immunity to the drug, which means he'll be stuck looking like a brute, and his appearance makes him feel alienated from other, "normal" people.
