Chapter 2[edit]

- [4] The Japanese word for love is, "恋", which is pronounced "こい (Koi)". Aria was spamming "こ Ko", which is also the sfx of a chicken, in the context, "ココ Koko". The missing, "い i" is what Kinji's pointing out when he says she can't say that last syllable, finishing the word.
- [5] フルモッフ (Furumoffu) is used here. もふもふ (MofuMofu) is the sound effect for furry, and as such, フルモッフ is literally "Full furry." This is similar slang to the フルボッコ (Furubokko) that Riko used before.
Chapter 3[edit]
- [1] Hiraga-san is saying, "デキてる (Dekiteru)", which carries the connotation of getting along well, or perhaps being lovey-dovey. This turn of phrase is rather hard to explain. At any rate, Tohyama-san is saying, "できてる (Dekiteru)", which, in this case, means, "Is it finished?" However, because they are homophones, he isn't really getting the point across.
- [2] Jeanne says this in English. It is her catchphrase.
