----
=== This series features examples of: ===
* [[Accidental Pervert]] - Happens to Daikichi early on.
* [[Adult Child]] - Masako; Daikichi is [[Informed Flaw|said to be this]] in the past, but grows out of it quickly.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Daikichi's mother wants nothing to do with Rin at first. However, when Daikichi brings her back for a family visit, she begins warming up to the girl to the point where she asks Daikichi and Rin to visit her again.
* [[Elective Mute]]
* [[Twelve-Episode Anime|Eleven Episode Anime]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]] - [[Deconstructed]]: Rin acts like this around people she's afraid of or doesn't trust (most everyone to begin with), and some of Daikichi's relatives cite it as a reason why they won't take her in. We soon find out that Rin is anything but.
* [[Evolving Credits]] - in the anime, the ending sequence changes slightly to match the content of the episode during the first section and also in the colored pencil/chalk pastel drawing of Rin towards the end
Line 44:
* [[Ironic Echo]] - "This is sweat!"
** {{spoiler|"Why not let her use your surname? It'll change anyway once she gets married."}}
* [[Is That Cute Kid Yours?]] - Daikichi gets this a couple times. He has no idea initially how to handle it, since "No, she's my aunt" is not something you want to go around saying.
* [["Ma'am" Shock|Ma'am Shock]], male version - Her first morning with Daikichi, Rin calls him "oji-san," which shocks him as much because he's just 30 as because she's his [[Oba-san]] in the blood relationship sense. (The official translation obscures the joke by rendering these as "mister" and "ma'am".)
* [[May-December Romance]] - Daikichi's grandpa and Masako. {{spoiler|Rin later on at the end with Daikichi, who is older than her by 24 years}}.
* [[Meaningful Echo]] - In the first volume, Daikichi notes that he would be lying if he didn't call raising Rin a sacrifice, but hopes that he can say it in the future. At the end of the fourth (a little over a year after taking Rin in), he says that it's not one.
Line 52:
* [[Orphan's Plot Trinket]] - Rin's baby book. Gives us the first clue about Rin's mother and is the hiding place of Daikichi's grandfather's will.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: What gave {{spoiler|Kouki the scar on his forehead}} is never fully revealed.
* {{spoiler|[[Not Blood Siblings|Not Blood Related]] - Chapter 54 reveals that, Rin isn't Souichi's daughter therefore she isn't Daikichi's aunt.}}
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]] - Averted: the later chapters deal with Rin as a teenager. See [[Time Skip]].
* {{spoiler|[[Not Blood Siblings|Not Blood Related]] - Chapter 54 reveals that, Rin isn't Souichi's daughter therefore she isn't Daikichi's aunt.}}
* [[Not What It Looks Like]] - When Daikichi gets a visit from his cousin at the same time his [[Love Interest]] drops by.
* [[Parental Abandonment]] - Rin; father dead, mother's whereabouts unknown. Once mother's whereabouts discovered, {{spoiler|mother still wants ''nothing'' to do with her because she's irresponsible.}}
