Trivia / Dear Brother

• Playing Against Type: Several cases:
  • Sumi Shimamoto, known as one of the voice actress to go for Yamato Nadeshikos, here plays a deeply messed-up Broken Bird.
  • Tesshō Genda isn't exactly a voice actor prone to play Tall, Dark, and Handsome Big Brother Mentors like Takehiko Henmi.
  • Pre-Sailor Moon Emi Shinohara as a Smug Snake Alpha Bitch...?
• Short-Lived, Big Impact: The manga only ran from March to September in 1974, and the anime adaptation only ran for 39 episodes (though it still greatly expands on the manga's plot and characters). Despite this, the series has had a considerable influence on both shoujo and yuri works.
