Go To

  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Many people enjoy Momoe and Arthur's chapter arcs, with more vocal fans wishing that the manga was mainly about them instead of Junko and Takane. It also helps that Momoe is essentially loved by the fanbase for being a Yaoi Fangirl.
  • The Scrappy:
    • It's hard to find a reader who likes Masako for being a Manipulative Bitch, even after her back story has been revealed.
    • Many Western fans loathe Takane for his misogynistic tendencies and forcing Junko to change her lifestyle to suit his.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Most of the characters are adults and the story touches on adult themes, with Junko and Takane's relationship bordering on The Masochism Tango, which has often led people to mistake the manga for a josei series; it was actually published in Cheese!, a shoujo magazine. The Live-Action Adaptation, on the other hand, is aimed at adults and first aired late at night.
