* HarsherInHindsight: In chapter 16, Kei and Yokoe have a HeldGaze in the middle of class. When Yokoe teases Kei about falling in love from it, Kei deletes her contact info and blocks her number out of sheer frustration at Rei constantly being TheGadfly. Later, in chapter 49, it's revealed that Yokoe is actually in love with Kei, but plays up the homoeroticism as a joke precisely so Kei doesn't figure out her true feelings and distance herself from Yokoe for real.

** Chapter 90 is about Yatsude freaking out after hearing the news that her favorite idol has suddenly cancelled all her appearance and withdrawn from the public eye with little warning. Nine chapters later, fans of the manga would get a taste of that when it was abruptly placed on indefinite hiatus.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: In the vol. 5 extras, Ningiyau expresses befuddlement at how much fans fawn over Yatsude.



* MemeticMutation: "Facial Harvard".[[note]] After Rei claimed her face was "Facial Harvard", in reference to Harvard University's prestige, fans rolled with it and routinely refer to her beauty using those exact words.[[/note]]

* MisaimedMarketing: Initially, ''School Zone'' was marketed as a yuri title, despite having little-to-no actual yuri. Because of that, people who picked the book up expecting a full-on gay lovefest were inevitably left disappointed (see the middling Goodreads reviews) when it turned out to be a CringeComedy about two stupid girls, one of whom was very slightly hinted to have a crush on the other. For vol. 2, the author's notes stated it felt "a little more" like a yuri manga -- perhaps in response to the criticism -- but even though later chapters have corrected this somewhat and brought in more overt yuri elements, the pace is still glacial, leading the comments section for every release chapter to cry out "Is this really a yuri?!" and to declare "This is a yuri! There's progress!" over the slightest developments, and also leading to disagreements over whether the series is mainly a yuri with some comedy on the side or mainly a comedy with some yuri on the side. The author him/herself admitted they had no plan for the series at first, which probably contributed to its aimlessness and inability to decide what genre it wants to be.

Isn't inflammatory enough to be a Broken Base, in retrospect.


* BrokenBase: One camp feels the manga is primarily a yuri that's taking way too long for the characters to make any progress in their relationships, while the other camp feels the manga is primarily a SliceOfLife comedy and that romantic progression is secondary to the humor of the girls' everyday life. The author admitted s/he had no idea where the manga was going at first, fueling the manga's confusion of genres.



* MisaimedMarketing: ''School Zone'' vol. 1 is advertised as a yuri manga, but there's no yuri content aside from the vague insinuation some characters might end up together somewhere down the line. Lampshaded by the author in the vol. 2 afterword, which describes it as feeling "a little more" like a yuri manga. The later chapters have corrected this somewhat.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: In Chapter 89, Yokoe asks if Kei didn't enjoy their trip to the festival. In a rare moment of honesty, Kei admits that she likes spending time with Yokoe, and that the reason she wasn't having fun was because Yokoe didn't seem like she was enjoying herself.

* UglyCute: Whenever Tsubaki is terrified, she sort of ''melts'' into a moe blob of the highest degree. Her eyes swell to double the size with a half-dozen watery highlights each, her mouth becomes a ragged quivering oval that slides up between her eyes, and sweat pours from every pore on her face. Her reaction to Yokoe in chapter 66 may just be the most grotesque version of InelegantBlubbering ever committed to print. It has to be seen to be believed.
