The other thing that caught my attention was Sentaro wearing the rosary around his neck, and Ritsuko saying him doing that was a special case or something. The first thing that popped into my head was the notion that Sentaro was aiming for the priesthood - thus falling in love with a girl would be a problem if he was Catholic but not if he was Protestant.
However, then I did some poking around and found that wearing the rosary around your neck is not something associated with priests - although some wear one on their belts. So maybe there's nothing to that bit after all.
