Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Despite their different, seemingly distant personality and quirks, Kaoru really does want to understand her husband and the two have many moments throughout the series where it's explicitly clear they care and genuinely love one another. |

| | I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying (Manga) / int_18146c55 |
comment |
Big Eyes, Little Eyes: Due to the artist's style, the eyes are the windows to the soul and change drastically, Kaoru's in particular. Her irises are normally small due to being a former Japanese Delinquent. Whenever the audience sees inside Kaoru's thought-processes, this is usually accompanied by normal-sized irises, such as when she gets married in the pilot episode. When Kaoru deliberately invoked Moe, she did an Open the Iris. Meanwhile, Kaoru's girlfriends and Mayotama all have large-irised Tsurime Eyes. |

Shout-Out Theme Naming: Discussed in Episode 10 of the first season when Hajime and Kaoru are trying to come up with hypothetical baby names. Hajime even points out just about every name ever has been used in anime, manga, and video games so it'd be near impossible to defy this. |

The Cameo |
| | I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying (Manga) / int_1b65dfad |
comment |
The Cameo One of the magazines that Hajime was "using" in the first episode had Momi on the cover. Kaoru's high school Senpai was Akiko, the protagonist of Metsuko ni Yoroshiku. She's also Miki's relative seen working for him in Episodes 4 and 12.8. Yuzu from the same series also appears in Episode 4 of season two, now working as a mangaka. The two schoolgirls in the first episode of season two are Hayasaka from Komori-san Can't Decline! and Karrot from Frau Rabbit. The couple that owns the butcher shop mentioned in Chapter 3 of the manga are Harundo and Kurume from RaButa. They later show up in person for Chapter 50, as does Haru from Ojojojo. |

The end of season one? The episode is entitled "Me, Her, and Another". |

Actor Allusion: It's no coincidence that Hajime would find Nanoha Takamachi and his wife Moe given they're both voiced by Yukari Tamura. Also counts as Celebrity Paradox.invoked Likewise, when Hajime lights up after "sensing Moe", there's not only a "Newtype spark" with the appropriate sound effect, his eyes turn into the same shape and color a la "SEED Mode". Hajime's voice actor Kenichi Suzumura previously voiced Shinn Asuka who frequently used "SEED Mode".invoked |

Black Comedy Rape: When she's drunk, the only thing Kaoru seems to think about is doing Hajime, whether he's in the mood or not. Both of them are horrified by this (Hajime during and Kaoru after the fact), but it's Played for Laughs due to the jackhammer sound effects accompanying the scene (Hajime even suggested that if it happens again, he'd use a high-end camcorder to record the fun in 4K resolution). |

Sham Wedding: Inverted.

No one actually tried to trick him, he just didn't believe that his son would be able to find a wife. |

Unusual Chapter Numbers |
| | I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying (Manga) / int_61321e1 |
comment |
Unusual Chapter Numbers: Due to season 2 being in Anachronic Order, episodes have .5 numbers (or .8 in the case of episode 7) to represent where they are in the timeline for the first season, and two flashback episodes have negative numbers. The only exceptions are episodes 11-13, which take place after the season 1 finale and continue the numbering from where it left off. |

Pædo Hunt: Back in college, when Nozumu wouldn't go on a date with Rino, who was easily mistaken for a grade-schooler due to her being small for her age, she tried to provoke this by lifting her skirt to him in front of a police patrol. |

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration |
| | I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying (Manga) / int_6c87dbef |
comment |
Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: Despite Hajime being Happily Married and having a fulfilling sex life with his wife Kaoru, there's one time he's resorted to this. In S1E12, Kaoru has to go to bed early because she has to work the following day. Hajime then goes into a Corner of Woe and reaches for a box of tissues, implying he feels blueballed and needs to masturbate off his frustration. What's worse, earlier that episode their married friends indicated they are intending to have sex that night, owing to Japanese usually treat Christmas as a date night. |

Celebrity Paradox |
| | I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying (Manga) / int_7b8b3def |
comment |
Celebrity Paradox: During the first episode, Hajime is shown looking at a screenshot of Nanoha Takamachi; Nanoha and Kaoru are voiced by Yukari Tamura. One has to wonder if he finds one attractive because they sound like the other. Hajime has made a few Gundam references. His voice actor Kenichi Suzumura voiced Shinn Asuka, the Decoy Protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny. His mother's voice actress Kotono Mitsuishi was also part of the show as Murrue Ramius since its predecessor series, as well as Toniya Malme in After War Gundam X. Rino Juse's VA Rie Kugimiya voiced Nena Trinity in Mobile Suit Gundam 00. Kaoru's VA Yukari Tamura eventually joined Suzumura and Mitsuishi in Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom as Big Bad Aura Maha Khyber. A figurine of Cattleya from Queen's Blade is seen in Episode 9. Rie Kugimiya (Rino Juse) voices Melona and Rana in the same series. Ranpha Franboise also appears in an Imagine Spot in the same episode. The character is voiced by Yukari Tamura, Kaoru's VA. Neon Genesis Evangelion references are also abundant in the anime. Kyoko's VA Kotono Mitsuishi also voiced Misato Katsuragi. |

Eye Catch: Despite each episode being three minutes long, they normally have one or two eye catches peppered through them, often accompanied by the sound of someone typing at a computer (most of them are Shout Outs). Instead of signaling a commercial break, they're used to go from one scene to the next. More emotional episodes, like Episode 11, don't have any. |

Anachronic Order: Season one ended with the last published chapter (at the time). As a result, most of season two's episodes take place in between season one's episodes (the first and second episodes were numbered 7.5 and 9.5, respectively). Since the only indicator of when episodes take place is a small number on the tile cards, it left some fans asking "Why aren't they following up on Kaoru being pregnant?" |

Boyfriend-Blocking Dad: In the Episode 9 Flashback, when Kaoru tells her father she's going out on a date, he offers her a taser to take; when she refuses, he offers an automatic rifle. After she refuses that, too, he offers to come with her, making a bloodthirsty, insane grimace with blood dripping down the background of the scene. In the present, he threatened to kill Hajime when he said that Kaoru cooking badly was an endearing attribute; justified since he's a professional cook himself. |

Mood Whiplash: After waking up from her Flashback Nightmare in Episode 11, Kaoru sees Hajime lying there and remembers that she's not alone anymore, happily going back to sleep...then Hajime rolls over in his sleep, and smacks her in the face with his arm. On a meta-level: after ten episodes of light-hearted Slice of Life antics, viewers get a three-minute long Flashback Nightmare. |

The second season's title adds "Second Thread" to the main title. This also come from Imageboard practices: as threads will automatically be closed after a certain number of replies, a "second thread" — often marked as such — will be created if the conversation still needs to be discussed. |

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: while Kaoru essentially rapes Hajime that one time when she's really drunk and this is played for comedy, it's played for Black Comedy. Both of them (especially Kaoru) realize it was terrible. |

Groin Attack Kaoru's response to Hajime taking photos of schoolgirls when they went to her old high school. When Nozomu met his Rino at college, he mistook her first for a grade-schooler, then a kindergarten-child due to her being small for her age. He wasn't scared of her due to this, but she proved him wrong by boxing him in the balls. |
