* SecretKeeper: Rina is asked to keep one in episode 11, [[spoiler:that Yuuko is Alice the cosplayer. She was about to ask Yuuko that until the latter asks her to keep it a secret.]]


Added DiffLines:

** Hilariously, it doesn't work on Rina, as seen in episode 11. Kazuya is at first confused as to who she's talking to, then Yuuko's "stealth" begins to fail, allowing him to see her as well.


Added DiffLines:

* UnprovokedPervertPayback: Kazuya is on the receiving end of this from some angry girls after Itta and Takashi are caught trying to take pictures of them. When he mentions he's only taken pictures of girls in the gymnastics team, it doesn't win him any favors, and he gets slammed to the ground, and beaten up when they realize he's staring at them.
