Aloof Big Brother: Towa, Yuka's (former) step-brother, is serious and uptight, and dismisses all of Yuka's attempts to get along with him. When they reunite when Yuka's parents hire him to tutor her, he wastes no time to make her study and refuses to engage in small talk, to her annoyance. | |

First Guy Wins: Zigzagged. After her failed romances with Nozomu and Kaito, Yuka decides to get back together with her ex-boyfriend from middle school, Hikaru—the one she mentioned to have dumped at the start of the manga. Touko remarks that having a boyfriend for the first time must be a special experience, and concludes that this must be the reason why Yuka is eager to get back to him. However, Yuka reveals that Hikaru is not her first boyfriend—Hiro is. Later, however, Yuka breaks up with Hikaru (again), and by the end of the series she ends up with Towa, her former stepbrother, who moved in when she was 12, and is probably the first guy to have a big impact in her life. | |

Random Events Plot | |
| Random Walk (Manga) / int_a07afea2 | comment |
Random Events Plot: Yuka's turbulent love life doesn't seem to have any rhyme nor reason, since the series avoid using many Rom-Com tropes, and when they do get used, they aren't exactly played straight. Yuka meets various guys, falls in love with them, and eventually breaks up with them for a number of different reasons. The guy she ultimately ends up with only gets two chapters of romantic development (although he's been around for much longer) before Yuka finally accepts his confession after a one-year Time Skip. | |

Dysfunctional Family | |
| Random Walk (Manga) / int_b6cc7fc0 | comment |
Dysfunctional Family: Averted. Yuka's family is fairly complicated: After her mother's death, her father married a woman who brought a son from a previous marriage, but the marriage only lasted for a year. Four years later, Yuka's father marries his third wife, and as Yuka is already a high schooler at this point, she decides to move out so that she won't be in the new couple's way. However, Yuka gets along with her father and stepmothers, and Sachie holds no grudges or bitterness against Akimitsu, even though she said that being friends again is probably impossible after what has happened between them. | |

Last-Minute Hookup | |
| Random Walk (Manga) / int_c9c317cd | comment |
Last-Minute Hookup: The last few chapters of the manga features Yuka's last-minute break-up before hooking up with someone else just as quickly. After getting back together with Hikaru (her boyfriend from middle school), Yuka is quite happy with the relationship, and is confident that it will last—especially after he declares his sincere love for her and promises to be faithful... then he suddenly breaks up with her—not because he's found another girl he's in love with, but because his ex-girlfriend (a girl he briefly dated after Yuka dumped him) got sick after being dumped; and despite still being in love with Yuka, Hikaru decides to go back to the other girl out of guilt. Naturally, Yuka takes this harder than her previous break-ups. Yuka's heartbreak after being dumped by Hikaru causes her to go on a snacking binge, which inadvertently gets Towa drunk when he joins her. He kisses her while under the influence, and then confesses to her not long afterwards. The series ends with her taking the time to think about it, and finally accepting his confession after a one-year Time Skip. | |
