There is reference to a character stalking another, but he isnt and it is taken lightly (in humour)

Definitely a dead pigeon, and I think a dead frog too. The frog is already dead. The pigeon can be seen dying.

In the manga, it shows a child getting stabbed in the chest area, and there is a small amount of blood. Nothing like that is in the movie, though.

The main character slaps himself in the face at one point. Other than that, the self-harm is not physical so much as mental.

A young girl pretends to be a boy to mess with someone else. She is thus called a boy until she reveals her true gender after a few scenes.

In the manga but not the movie, the main character imagines two characters bathing together somewhat intimately, before it is revealed that the characters are siblings. That is it, though.

Quite the opposite! Nobody has a problem with the male protagonist crying! It's treated as normal.
