Oniisama e.../YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: As of 2012, Oniisama e has been licensed overseas.
 * Ear Worm: Don't expect to watch this series without catching yourself humming the opening theme at least once.
 * Considering that it's an enka-like song with very pretty lyrics, it may double as Crowning Music of Awesome.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Now with its own page
 * Les Yay: A given. Rei has some with Kaoru, then some more with Nanako.
 * Tomoko and Nanako's relationship is pretty much a textbook Romantic Two-Girl Friendship.
 * And let's not forget Mariko and Nanako, either.
 * Moral Event Horizon: Some people consider  in the manga to be this. Specially because
 * Narm: A non-drama example: Aya Misaki's horrible puffy hair. May have been in vogue in The Seventies when the series was written, but now...
 * As well as the ridiculously exaggerated faces she makes after
 * Tear Jerker: Many. It now has its own page.
 * Values Dissonance: Lots of people are weirded out when the Seiran students make such a huge deal of, but it makes more sense when we remember that the Japanese society's stance on divorce, adoption, and Sins of Our Fathers are pretty different to the ones in the West. And there's also the fact that this particular manga was written in The Seventies...
 * Wangst: Lots of it, but especially Fukiko, who cannot get over the fact that ... which happened six years ago.
 * Lampshaded by Rei in episode 25, when recalling her and Fukiko's first meeting. Young Fukiko was in tears over being shabbily treated at a friend's party (read: she didn't like the seat she was given) and young Rei was all "... is that ALL?!"
 * What Measure Is a Non-Badass?: If you watch this series on YouTube, PLEASE be careful while reading the comments. Lots of people there love to bash Nanako and call her "weak" or "stupid" for not kicking off her bullies.
 * The Woobie: A lot of them:
 * Nanako and Rei. Poor little Nanako, so sweet and so kicked around by life itself. And poor Rei, so utterly broken ever since she was a little girl. Also, episode 15 brings a character we didn't know about, then breaks her, and makes her this.
 * Jerkass Woobie: Mariko. Utterly clingy and possessive of Nanako,, and can be a bitch to Tomoko in the beginning. She's also among the few willing to protect Nanako from bullies and help her in the Sorority, and is genuinely fucked up   Not to mention-- gosh, when she shows a sweeter side, you almost wanna say "Mariko why so Moe"? And surprisingly,   becomes a Jerkass Woobie late in the series.
 * Iron Woobie / Stoic Woobie: Kaoru and Takehiko. Kaoru does what she can to deal with her woobielicious best friend Rei being totally broken ; meanwhile,   Takehiko almost always smiles kindly and tries to be a good friend, despite how
