Annoying Younger Sibling: Shintaro to Mariko. He's far less troublesome than her, in fact. |

Wrong Genre Savvy |
| | Neighborhood Story (Manga) / int_20a14df0 |
comment |
Wrong Genre Savvy: Poor Yuusuke was wrong, he never got to star in his own manga. To be fair, he was pretty close to being one in this very series, while Jirô, Shintaro and Noriji had similar delusions. Noriji, though, gets a cameo in the continuation, where he's briefly presented as "some random ojii-san". |
