I like it when stories have different characters call one person by different names. Kim Dokja's "Dokja-hyung," "Dokja-ahjussi," "Ahjussi." Kageyama Shigeo's "Mob," "Nii-san," "Kageyama-kun," "Shigeo." I like how when two characters talk to each other, they don't change how they refer to that other character. I think it's a nice detail, showing how different characters have different relationships with that one person, showing that their social groups are familiar enough that each person knows who the other is referring to, showing that each character is aware of the relationships between other characters
