 * In the manga, Gohin is put off more by Legosi's admittance to never having experienced love before and muses himself at how "too reserved" Legosi is (even thinking on how he was more "wild" then Legosi was at his age, seemingly implying he was a ladies' man when he was in his teen years).
 * In the manga, the porn magazine Gouhin gives to Legosi is in English. In the anime, the porn magazine Gouhin recommends to Legosi is in Japanese.
