Seirin Academy is clearly a reference to "A kiss and a white lily" (the high school there, Seiran Academy, also had an attached university), and Nakatani Piyo's name is a reference to Nakatani Nio, the author of "Bloom into You". Are there any other yuri references I've missed in here?
IMO it's really nice to see authors reference yuri classics; it makes it feel like they understand the community on a more intimate level.
