Line 16:
* [[Accidental Pervert]]: Happens to Futaba a lot in the first couple of volumes.
* [[The Ahnold]]: Mr. Lucky Strike, the P.E. teacher, looks quite a lot like Arnold; the guy acts a bit like Dutch from ''[[Predator]]''.
* [[Acrofatic]]: The representative from the Sumo Club in the [[Tournament Arc]], Konishiki Mai[[Japanese Honorifics|-chan]].
* [[Apocalypse How]]: {{spoiler|The Shimeru homeworld (actually a giant ringworld made of Ivy) has undergone a Class 4 with only the Ivy and nanomachines still working}}.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Kurin & Futaba; Futana also has a fiance, but he's [[Walking the Earth]].
Line 34 ⟶ 35:
** During the [[Tournament Arc]], [[Street Fighter|Blanka, Zangief, Guile, and Dhalsim]] are each seen once, with [[Street Fighter|Ryu and Chun-Li]] making multiple appearances (especially Chun-Li). An early visit to Misaki's room reveals a collection of 9 plushies, featuring the [[Street Fighter|8 World Warriors and Sagat.]] (Every time we return to her room, different plushies are on display.)
** Usagi from ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' can also be spotted front and center in one panel.
* [[Catapult Nightmare]]: Seems par for the course for unpleasant dreams.
* [[Character Development]] and [[Characterization Marches On]]: Most noticable for Negiri, whose character changes notably over the course of the manga.
* [[The Chikan]]: {{spoiler|Futana, who else. Futaba is [[Accidental Pervert|mistaken]] for one at one point shortly afterwards.}}
* [[Clark Kenting]]: Everyone with a secret identity, but most especially Principal Hiroin as The Justicemaker.
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: The only kind of humor [[Depraved Bisexual|Futana]] seems capable of, and more often than not it's just [[Squick]], plain and simple.
* [[Defeat by Modesty]]: Ms. Hiroin defeating the sumo wrestler by removing his loincloth while he's distracted.
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Futana is an example of the [[Anything That Moves]] variety rather than the [[Ax Crazy]] sort.
Line 42 ⟶ 45:
* [[Eccentric Townsfolk]]: Well, Eccentric Highschool folk at least.
* [[Egg Sitting]]: Futana tricks Futaba into this, kinda, sorta, it's complicated.
* [[Excited Show Title!]]
* [[Expy]]: Negiri to [[Ranma ½|Nabiki]]. At first anyway, but [[Characterization Marches On]], see the main entry on that for more.
* [[Turtle Island|Floating Island]]: The Shimeru homeland {{spoiler|(except it is really a giant spaceship).}}
Line 52 ⟶ 55:
* [[Gender Bender Friendship]]: Futaba and Misaki, naturally.
* [[Genre Shift]]: Starts as a High School gender-bending comedy and ends with the revelation that {{spoiler|the Shimerus are aliens, their homeland is a spaceship and their homeworld is a [[Ringworld]] made of ivy that has under gone a Category 4 extinction}}.
* [[The Ghost]]: Mrs Shimeru, Futaba's [[It Makes Sense in Context|father]]. Her face is never seen, and only about two strips show even a part of her body.▼
* [[He-Man Woman Hater]]: Sabuyama-sensei. Because of his thinking that girls means trouble to [[Yaoi Guys|steamy male relationships]].
* [[High School Hustler]]: Negiri.
* [[Hot Blood]]: The school's principal, especially during his introduction.
* [[Hot for Student]]
Line 64 ⟶ 66:
* {{spoiler|[[Human Aliens]]}}: The origin of the Shimeru clan.
* [[Important Haircut]]: Futaba cuts his hair as apology Misaki; female-Futaba is also similarly hairless and Futaba has to wear a wig for a little while after as it grows back.
* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]: There's a store that specializes in tailoring these that Futana frequents.
* [[Incompatible Orientation]]: Misaki and Futaba -- Futaba turns into a woman whenever he gets aroused, meaning that any relationship they have is doomed, as Misaki is heterosexual. {{spoiler|Misaki fixes the problem by [[Jumping the Gender Barrier]] via gene therapy.}}
* [[Instant Fanclub]]: Thanks to Negiri, Futaba gains one of these with breathtaking speed.
* [[Jerkass]]: Futana.
* [[Jumping the Gender Barrier]]: {{spoiler|During their trip to the Shimeru clan homeworld, Misaki gets gene therapy to make her into a full [[Human Alien]] like Futaba and Kurin, making her suddenly an available love interest. Futaba decides [[Tenchi Solution|not to decide.]]
* [[Kick Chick]]: Anzu.
* [[Lethal Chef]]: Misaki, due to her habit of over-sweetening everything. The three Koujiro sisters are more likely to actually kill someone, though.
* [[Living Crashpad]]: Mai-chan landed on Sabuyama-sensei.
* [[Lost Him in a Card Game]]: The wrestling team captain basically stakes the team in a series of [[Mahjong]] games with Negiri and Futaba has to pay off the debt.
* [[Lovable Sex Maniac]]: Futana (in both forms, see below).
Line 96 ⟶ 100:
* [[Selective Obliviousness]]: Somehow Futaba has managed to make it to junior high school without noticing his family's tendency to change genders on a regular basis. Especially remarkable given the [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]] problem.
* [[Shapeshifter Mode Lock]]: Futaba is stuck in girl form while menstruating. Presumably this also happens during pregnancy.
▲* [[
* [[Skinship Grope]]: Futana, naturally, though she tends to take it a bit further than most characters.
* [[Skunk Stripe]]: The Koujiro sisters and Kurin.
* [[Soft Glass]]: Futaba goes through glass windows several times, including once nearly-naked, without so much as a scratch. The Justicemaker, on the other hand, can get plenty of shards in his huge head along with comical spurts of blood.
* [[
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Futaba finds himself blushing while thinking of his sister's MALE form.
* [[Superhuman Transfusion]]
* [[Sweet Tooth]]: Misaki's got a huge one; so much so that it ties in with [[Lethal Chef]] -- anything she cooks for herself is unbearably sweet.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Futaba says he has a good feeling about the school field trip; next panel {{spoiler|the plane carrying them has ditched in the ocean}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Tenchi Solution]]}}: The canon solution to {{spoiler|the love triangle}}, shown in the last few chapters. Futaba {{spoiler|marries}} both {{spoiler|Kurin ''and'' Misaki (who gets gene therapy on the ship to turn her into a permanent [[Gender Bender|gender bending]] [[Human Alien]] like the other two).}}
Line 112 ⟶ 117:
* {{spoiler|[[Victorious Childhood Friend]]:}} Misaki, with the complication that {{spoiler|she's going to have to share Futaba with Kurin}}. She earned it, though, what with {{spoiler|going through Gene therapy to turn herself into a full [[Human Alien]] so she would be compatible.}}
* [[Walking the Earth]]: Futana's fiancé(e) departs to do this after meeting her for the first time.
* [[We All Live in America|We All Live in Japan]]: For a culture founded on a drifting island {{spoiler|spaceship}} by stranded {{spoiler|[[Human Aliens|aliens]]}} with [[Gender Bender|no concept of gender]], kept isolated from the rest of the world to the extent the rest of the world [[Hidden Elf Village|''doesn't even know it exists'']], the Shimeru homeland sure ended up... Japanese. Granted, this all started tens of thousands of years ago but... [[Willing Suspension of Disbelief|really?]]
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: [[Justified]]. Futaba is in the school's wrestling club.
