* BigBrotherInstinct: Minegishi is flabbergasted when he learns that Maron is dating his co-worker Tanaka. He even threatens him if he ever harms her. This goes the same with Tanaka who threatens Minegish if he ever breaks Otsu's heart.
* ChastityCouple: This manga is very tame when it comes to romance. Even when Otsu and Minegishi are slowly acknowledging their feelings toward each other, there's no physical and sexual romance between them. The closest thing they have is touching each other's fingers when they overslept on the train.


Added DiffLines:

* LoveConfession: [[spoiler:Towards the end of the manga where both Minegichi and Otsu finally say "I love you" to each other. What's very amusing is that they did this after they exchange rings which made their co-workers think that they were engaged despite not having been on a date once]].

* WallpinOfLove: Minegishi does this to Otsu upon being gifted chocolate from him. In a surprisingly realistic use of this trope, Minegishi's female coworker and Otsu both point out how threatening that sort of behavior is and how he'd be in real trouble if he did that to a female coworker. In Minegishi's defense, he was so overwhelmed by Otsu giving him chocolate that he wasn't really aware of his own behavior, but he still heartily apologized to Otsu. Otsu still seems pretty flustered by it.

* ShipperOnDeck: Tanaka's thoughts on Minegishi and Otsu are a jumble of confusion, annoyance, and jealousy tied together with his desperation for them to ''just get together already.'' His bonus comic sees him receive a fortune telling him that he "will have better luck playing Cupid for another couple" than in his own romantic pursuits.

Minegishi is the golden boy of the office. Handsome, friendly, and successful, he's everything his co-worker Otsu is not. And that's exactly the reason Otsu can't figure out why Minegishi is so friendly towards him... not to mention why he's so keen on giving him food.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Otsu takes Minegishi to a bathroom at the flower viewing party to try and clean him up, and ends up kneeling down while trying to wipe the marker off his stomach. When Tanaka walks in and sees Otsu on his knees in front of a half-undressed Minegishi, he gets the wrong idea.
