[edit] Trivia
 |
Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
- Nobuo Tobita, who voices Misao Kurotokage in this series, also appeared in the earlier Tokimeki Memorial OVA series, where he voiced as the school's swimming coach.
- Yukari Tamura, who voices Yukari Higashino in episode 14, voiced one of the main female characters, Mei Ijūin (伊集院 メイ Ijūin Mei?), in the Tokimeki Memorial 2 game.
- Remarkably, the very game that the series is based on, Tokimeki Memorial Online, makes a cameo appearance of its own in episode 15, with Haruka Wakatake and Sayuri Amamiya being some of its players.
- The character of Misao Kurotokage is a pastiche of the character of the great acting teacher Chigusa Tsukikage, from the classic shōjo anime Glass Mask.
- In episode 10, one of Riku's summer jobs involves looking after a dog named L (エル, 'Eru' in Japanese), who turn out to be Sayuri Amamiya's pet. This is likely a reference to one of the main characters from the Death Note anime and manga series, since Mamoru Miyano, who voiced as Riku Aoba, also does the voice of Light Yagami in the Death Note anime.
- In episode 12, the clumsy incinerator lady is obviously inspired by Belldandy from the anime Oh! My Goddess. Both characters are a goddess, similarly dressed, and are voiced by the same seiyū, Kikuko Inoue.
- In episode 17, when Aoba reaches the theatre he finds a band in which one of the members is named Metal Ryuk and has black wings on his back. This is likely a possible reference to Ryuk of the Death Note anime.
- As shown during the end credits of last episode, the school Riku transfers to bears resemblance to Kirameki High School of the first game based on the girls' school uniforms, and possible lookalikes of Shiori Fujisaki and Saki Nijino from the first game make cameo appearances. Also, as Riku walks towards the school building, he overhears a girl addressing to the Legendary Tree, just like the one from the first game.
