Line 7:
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]
* [[All There in the Manual]]: A lot of questions raised in the manga aren't answered, so they get answered by Chmakova in the end of book three.
* [[Animesque]] - one of the better ones.
** [[Sturgeon's Law|Not that that's saying much, mind you...]]
Line 21:
* [[Brick Joke]]: {{spoiler|Sexy Joe, a one-off joke in volume one, briefly returns in volume three. And yes, it is hilarious.}}
* [[Catgirl]] - Opal in volume 1 and Hyu-Jeong and Monica in volumes 2 & 3.
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] - Emily, but she [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|backs off]].
* [[Cool Big Sis]] - Sandra.
* [[Cool Shades]] and [[Sunglasses
* [[Cosplay Otaku Girl]] - Monica and Hyu-Jeong
* [[Crash Into Hello]]
Line 29:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]] - Matt.
** Emily is just as blunt and snarky as he, which seems to be why they get on so well.
** Christie's shoulder devil is like this in response to the shoulder angel sometimes.
{{quote|''(after a girl answered when Christie called Matt)''
'''Angel:''' I--I'm sure it's just a roommate or something. It's always a roommate or something!
Line 36:
* [[Education Mama]] - Beth's
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] - Sandra and Greta run a shop dedicated to this. It's also Monica and Hyu-Jeong's preferred cosplay style, and Christie and Beth both wear it as well in the third volume.
* [[Executive Meddling]] - series creator Svetlana Chmakova stated in [https://web.archive.org/web/20131214194753/http://manga.about.com/od/mangaartistswriters/a/SChmakova.htm this interview] that Tokyopop had her create the first volume as a self-contained book, because they didn't know if they were going to publish the other two.
** This is pretty typical industry practice, though, at least for OEL manga creators (whose work usually goes straight to book format without being serialized first, which is standard in Japan).
* [[Eye Scream]] - {{spoiler|Matt is revealed to have a horrible scar over one eye that implies he lost it in an incident that is never explained or even alluded to.}}
Line 52:
** Not to her face, mind.
** Leads to a near [[Be Careful What You Wish For]] moment,
* [[Jerkass]]: The snooty "table neighbor" in Book 2. Spurns Christie's friendly greeting, rudely interrupts when Christie and her friends are talking about their favorite author, and calls Bethany "a kiss up" when she saw said author offer her a job. It nearly gets her slapped but Beth takes the high road and leaves her be. Christie and Beth's friends, on the other hand, aren't so lenient.
{{quote|'''Monica''': ([[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive|steepling her fingers]] as she and her friends glare at the girl) That was our friend you were harassing just now. [[Oh Crap|Welcome to the rest of your day at the Artist's Alley with us.]] }}
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] - Matt, who turns out not to be an ''actual'' [[Jerkass]]. Just a little socially inept.
* [[Leave the Two Lovebirds Alone]]: The group does this to Matt and Christie in book 3. Christie is pissed off at them for this, at least at first.
* [[Love At First Punch]] - How Matt and {{spoiler|Emily}} met in the second book.
* [[Love Triangle]] - The second book.
Line 65:
* [[Moment Killer]] - Mostly involving Monica and Hyu-Jeong.
{{quote|''(Matt and Christie are talking)''
'''Matt:''' [[
'''Christie:''' Why? Afraid you'll lose?<br />
'''Matt:''' ...you want to play? What happened to the shy girl I met two years ago?<br />
Line 77:
* [[Naked People Are Funny]] - Sexy Joe, who in the first volume joins in the masquerade just so he can go on stage and drop his pants, and returns in volume three to run around in a [[Conspicuous Trenchcoat]] and flash the Artist' Alley.
* [[Naughty Tentacles]] - Opal, Brett, and Derek joke about this to freak Christie out, then tell her that it's in the hentai they're going to see. [[Squick|Christie does not join them]].
* [[Nice Guy]] - Raj, who's really a great guy, but as is pointed out, doesn't stand out much.
* [[Noodle Incident]] - The "coffee scene" in the manga that Christie and Derek {{spoiler|later replaced by Beth}} create.
* [[Old Shame]] - In-universe: Lida is incredibly ashamed of her earlier work, ''Nightbloom''.
Line 104:
* [[Writer on Board]] - At one point Bethany is confronted by a kid who claims that [[OEL Manga]] is not "real" manga. He's 10, <s>dressed as [[Naruto]]</s> has a black headband and a [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yo-Gi-U]] t-shirt, and communicates only by shouting.
** And swearing. And {{spoiler|being racist}}.
*** YMMV Of course, where this is [[Anvilicious]] or [[Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped|an avil that needed to be dropped]].
**** At the very least it leads to a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] when {{spoiler|his mother, after calling him by [[Full Name Ultimatum|his full name]] dresses him down right on the convention floor, makes him apologize and buys the manga. Bethany warns her that it might be too mature for him, to which she just smiles and buys a second copy}}. Awesome.
