I''s/YMMV

• Complete Monster - Samejima aka the Marionette King. Goes from a pervert who wants to see Iori naked at the beginning of the manga to a drug-addicted psychopath who wants to rape and murder her. For Ichitaka and Iori's sake this troper hopes that MK isn't let out of prison for a LONG time.
• Crowning Moment of Awesome - Ichitaka and Teratani rescuing Iori.

Koshinae and Iori are lured into a trap by Iori's stalkers who want to rape her. Next time we see them, the gang members are on the floor, beaten to a pulp while a furious Koshinae faces the leader. The leader threatens Iori at knifepoint and gloats...
Ichitaka: *standing right behind him* Shut your mouth.

• • The second rescue is one for both Jun and Ichitaka.
• Crowning Moment of Funny: Teratani and Yuka's first forced kiss.
  • Ichitaka trying to play cool at the beach, when the others find him hiding.

Ichitaka: Hot damn! Check out this shellfish! I bet this could bring me FIVE HUNDRED YENS!

*crickets chirp*
