- Adaptation Displacement: It's hard to have any discussion about this title that doesn't involve the anime adaptation in some way. The novel is liked for what it is, but the anime details (like the number of clubs the Narrator goes to or the importance of the Mochiguma) usually take precedence over the novel's events.
- Alternative Character Interpretation: It is believed by some that the fortune teller lady kept increasing her fees because the fees represented the weight of opportunities wasted, and the more he kept wasting them, the heavier they became.
- Fan Nickname: The Narrator gets "Watashi", as this is the personal pronoun he uses throughout the story and otherwise he has not concrete name.
- Genius Bonus: You don't have to be a “genius” exactly, but amongst the random room plans in the ending, there's a golden spiral
◊. - Rewatch Bonus: With its anachronistic storytelling and "rewind" storyline, the show's made for this. Go watch episode 1 after episodes 10 and 11 and feel all the Fridge Brilliance kick in.
- Squick: Chapter 3 / Episode 7 is a tender, romantic story about the narrator's love of Jogasaki's love doll.
- Ugly Cute: The way Ozu is drawn through the narrator's perspective throughout most of the show may qualify as this for some.
