Some cast members are just plain-looking, and while both Macharu and Kobuhei aren't cute, neither is outrageously ugly (Macharu is goofy-looking, while Kobuhei is just paunchy). Oddly, the closest the mangaka comes to producing a Gonk is her depictions of herself in supplimental materials.

Added DiffLines:
* NotSoStoic: For all that Haruna acts like she's aloof and above it all, she has several moments where she lets down her guard to show others her insecurities, her compassion, and of course her love of Macharu. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] near the end by her friends, who by that point are used to Haruna's cold facade, even among her closest companions.
Added DiffLines:
* TitleDrop: The original Japanese title gets mentioned multiple times, as Haruna compares high school life to being on a mountain with monkeys (making parallels to the social structures) multiple times. Somewhat LostInTranslation; the series' title was changed, but the references to a "monkey mountain" remain in the manga's text.

Added DiffLines:
* InsecureLoveInterest: Despite what one would initially think, Haruna wrestles with this. Sure, Macharu occasionally gets down about the relationship, but he quickly redoubles his effort to show his dedication. Haruna, however, worries that Macharu could easily leave her behind and succeed at his dreams, and this gives her doubt as to whether she could really keep up with Macharu, his dreams, and most of all his feelings. Gotoda figures it out and plays off of it to try to convince her to go along with the ArrangedMarriage.
Added DiffLines:
* RightHandHottie: Gotoda, Mr. Aizawa's assistant, is clearly meant to be the much more standard shoujo-style love interest: clean-cut, tall, elegant, and most importantly insightful as to the heroine's true personality. However, even if Haruna wasn't already with Macharu, she finds him way too presumptuous about pretty much everything.
