* LovableCoward: Kiryu is a deeply sensitive boy who is kind and very good at art, but is bullied by some of his classmates for his drawings. Later, he becomes horribly ashamed when his father is arrested for shoplifting and a rumor that he's like his father start to circulate, which causes him to retreat deeper into his shell. Nanoka's clumsy but well-intentioned attempts to support him don't help, either. She's eventually able to draw him out and helps him stand up for himself, but still calls him a coward in the last chapter when he seems to not be able to say something important to her.

* PunnyName: The huge painting in Obaachan's house is signed "Love Me". It's revealed in the last chapter that [[spoiler:the painting was done by Kiryu, who signed the painting that way to pun on his name sounding like "kill you" in English]].

* LineOfSightName: Nanoka calls Skank-san that because the word was scrawled on the nameplate over her door when she showed up trying to get help to save the black cat's life. She's far too young to know what the word means and Skank-san finds this amusing and decides to just run with it.

* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Skank-san's job, per Nanoka's description, is "selling her youth". This could be as simple as being a model but, given the slur written on her door and the way she shrugs off Nanoka asking about it when they first meet, [[ImpliedTrope implies that she's a call girl or actual prostitute]]. Despite this, she is always welcoming to Nanoka, seems to really enjoy her visits, and is generally kind and friendly.

** After Nanoka reveals that she got in a fight with her mother and said some very angry things, Minami vehemently pleads with her to go home and make up with her mother, revealing that her parents died in an accident shortly after something very similar happened between them. It's implied that her guilt over this is one of the driving factors behind her cutting herself.

* TraumaSwing: Nanoka sees a forlorn-looking main sitting in a swing in a local park on a couple of occasions, then learns that it's Kiryu's father when she runs into the two of them together.

* AbsentParents: Nanoka's parents both work a lot and are rarely home at the same time, which is part of why she spends so much time with the other three women.

* LovableCoward: Kiryu is a deeply sensitive boy who is kind and very good at art, but is bullied by some of his classmates for his drawings and is horribly ashamed when his father is arrested for shoplifting and rumors about him start to circulate, which causes him to retreat deeper into his shell. Nanoka's clumsy but well-intentioned attempts to support him don't help, either. She's eventually able to draw him out and helps him to stand up for himself, but still calls him a coward in the last chapter when he seems to back down from saying something important to her.
* MaliciousSlander: After Kiryu's father is arrested, his fellow students get wind of it and it's believed that Kiryu is also a thief. Nanoka is shocked to learn that Ogiwara, the only other boy she's seen talking to and who she seemed to like as much as Kiryu, was the one who started the rumor.

It's implied that her guilt over this is one of the driving factors behind her cutting herself.
** On a similar note, Skank-san tells Nanoka that she was a lot like Nanoka when she was young, but remained aloof and distant as she grew up and ended up driving away everyone who could've actually meant something to her. As a result, she fell into an empty and self-destructive lifestyle.

Nanoka is a precocious and somewhat self-important grade-schooler who, when she's not in school, tends to spend time with two very different adults, a younger woman called "Skank-san" and an elderly woman who she calls Obaachan. After being given a school assignment to try to figure out what the meaning of happiness is, Nanoka plumbs her friendship with these women, some of her classmates, and others to try to understand this for herself.
