Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The fact that Ringo punches out the Crystal Princess in episode 5 becomes even more significant in light of the fact that the Princess is Momoka, and perhaps foreshadows that Ringo eventually stops trying to be Momoka and becomes her own person.
    • And in episode 11, the camera cuts to the Princess as Ringo is talking about Momoka.
  • I was puzzled by the fact that Yuri refers to Keiju as Tabuki-kun, since he's her fiancé, and you'd think that she'd call the man she's going to marry by his first name. She even refers to him as this when they're alone, and referring to someone that close to you that way is pretty unusual. And while at first this looks like it's simply an extension of her Yamato Nadeshiko personality, cue the revelation that their relationship is fake, and it makes a lot more sense. This tends to get Lost in Translation in some subs, so not everyone might've noticed it.
