* StalkerWithACrush: Deconstructed. In-universe, Senpai's plan to gradually insert himself as a near-constant presence in Otome's life is regarded as extremely creepy by his friends, and he eventually becomes highly critical of his own actions, wondering if he really does love Otome as a person or just sees her as a sex object and distraction from more pressing matters in his life.

To make it even worse, the contestants must do this while sitting at a heated kotatsu in an uncomfortably cramped environment, wearing heated clothing, and only drinking hot tea as their refreshment in-between sips and bites of Rihaku's hotpot all while a fan and ice cubes are just out of their reach at Rihaku's chair.

General clarification on works content


''The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl'' is an anime film directed by Creator/MasaakiYuasa and released in 2017. It's based on a novel by Creator/TomihikoMorimi, author of ''Literature/TheTatamiGalaxy'' (which Yuasa also directed an anime adaptation for). The film is meant to be a SpiritualSuccessor to ''The Tatami Galaxy'', though while both works share the same university setting and some of the same characters, their plotlines are largely unrelated. The novel was given an official translation by Creator/YenPress and released in 2019. In January 2021 the film was streamed on Creator/{{Max}} with an English dub. A stage play adaptation was performed in 2021 in Tokyo and Osaka, and a musical adaptation has also been produced.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: While they superficially resemble the Protagonist and Akashi from ''Anime/TheTatamiGalaxy'', Senpai and Otome are very much their own people.
** The protagonist of ''Tatami Galaxy'' constantly waffled over whom he wished to romance, was prone to NeverMyFault as he blamed everyone around him for screwing up his life and resented others for having a happy romantic life. Senpai is deadset on romancing Otome from day one, painfully aware of his own faults like being too shy to actually work up the courage and talk to Otome (unlike the protagonist, whom for all his flaws, never truly had an issue with talking to his own respective crush in Akashi), and doesn't really feel any ill will towards others as they go on about their lives.
** Akashi was stoic, reclusive with a small inner circle of associates, and associated with the color blue. In contrast, Otome is bubbly, more sociable with a wide number of people she's easily befriended, and associated with the color red. While Akashi was romanced fairly quickly by the protagonist of ''Tatami Galaxy'' as the two hit it off with their own mutual idiosyncracies, Otome has to take much more time to consider whether she is attracted to Senpai or not.

* AdaptationDistillation: The book spaces out its four big backdrops (wandering around Kyoto in a pub crawl, the used book fair, the Kyoto University school festival, and everyone coming down with a cold) as vignettes across one year linked together by Senpai's efforts to get together with his crush. In contrast, the movie opts to simply have all four events happen in one incredibly wild night for the main characters in order to streamline the narrative.
