* HilariousInHindsight: In one chapter, there's a flashback to Matataki's childhood where her classmates dismiss her for her otaku interests and say they want to talk about television dramas (which are considered more "mainstream" in Japan for women) instead. Come 2024, ''Stardust Telepath'' would actually get a television drama of its own.

* CommonKnowledge: Thanks to some MisaimedMarketing, on the internet the series is routinely referred to (mainly by people who haven't read/watched it) as being part of the ''yuri'' genre, even though it's published in a ''seinen'' magazine and has the exact same "It looks a little gay if you squint hard enough" PseudoRomanticFriendship aesthetic as its non-''yuri'' contemporaries.

* MisaimedMarketing: In Japan, the publisher advertised the first volume as "'yuri' meets 'space'", implying it's a yuri romance like ''Kirara'' sister series ''Manga/SakuraTrick''. In truth, ''Stardust Telepath'' is pretty much a textbook example of PseudoRomanticFriendship. While the girls are very close, as of mid-volume 4, there hasn't been anything beyond typical ''Kirara''-style HomoeroticSubtext (or "yuri-bait" if you're feeling uncharitable). Compared to its contemporaries, it's actually one of the ''less'' explicitly yuri series, since many other ''Kirara'' manga have at least one character in the cast with a confirmed (though often one-sided) crush on another girl. On the "just friends-to-yuri" meter, ''Stardust Telepath'' probably ranks below even ''Manga/TheDemonGirlNextDoor''.

* ToughActToFollow: In the wake of this being the Kirara anime adaptation following the surprise SleeperHit of ''Manga/BocchiTheRock'', it can be seen as this. While the anime was well-received, it never reached the high popularity or critical acclaim as ''Bocchi'' did in the previous fall season, and failed to hit the same surprise hit status as it's predecessor, where it became overshadowed among the highly anticipated animes of its season.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The end of chapter 11 hypes up the girls' two-day rural field trip, implying we're in for some epic FishOutOfWater comedy about four suburban girls having to deal with nature. Instead, aside from TheTeaser, the first half of chapter 12 takes place inside a room brainstorming a research project and the second half is a heartfelt conversation between Umika and Yuu that could've just taken place outside the lighthouse, rendering the whole "rural field trip" aspect totally pointless.
