A fan on Twitter has proposed a theory after watching the first episode. If you have noticed, Yuki is wearing a different coloured uniform than the rest of the girls. She is wearing a blue uniform whilst the other main characters are wearing green. But what if you were to invert the colours of Yuki’s uniform?

And why was this done? Well, fans speculate that this alteration to her uniform is to symbolise that she has an inverted personality.

Takeya Yuki is in love with the school. For her, it’s a wonderful place, where she enjoys her school activities, especially the activities of her club, the School Life Club. The club has Rii-chan as the president, Kurumi-chan as another member, and the teacher, Megu-nee, always there for them. Yes, she is in love with her school… in her mind. Because, for her, the reality of the school and their club’s activities is way too hard to be perceived…
