=== ''Gokinjo Monogatari'' provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Adult Child]]: Mikako's mother Ruriko.
Line 21:
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: Tokumori for both Tsutomu and Mikako.
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Seiji's sparkles are visible not only to the readers, but to the cast too, earning him a nickname 'The Sparkling Alien'. (Once he jokingly tells Mikako he comes from another planet and has special powers. {{spoiler|''She believes him''}}.)
* [[Bishounen]]: Most of the male cast qualifies (with an exeption of Noriji), but Seiji Kisaragi takes it [[Up to Eleven|up to eleven]].
* [[Bland -Name Product]]: Mariko loves ''Chanyel''.
* [[Cameo]]: Midori and Akira, from Ai Yazawa's previous manga ''[[Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai]]'', show up in the street market.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: [[Gratuitous English|Waaaarp!!]]
Line 34:
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]: All the time. Mikako is particularly fond of it.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Mariko "Nice Body-ko" Nakasu.
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Mariko again.
* [[High School Sweethearts]]
Line 40:
* [[Hot Shounen Mom]]: Mikako's mother.
* [[Hot Shoujo Dad]]: Yes, Mikako's father.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Tsutomu is very tall, Mikako is basically a shrimp.
* [[Identical Stranger]]: Tsutomu and a pop-idol Nakamura Ken.
* [[Important Haircut]]: Mikako's life can be recounted by those.
* [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Yuusuke, all the way.
* [[Kawaiiko]]: Mikako and Pii.
* [[Ladykiller in Love]]: [[Gender Flip|Gender flipped]] with Mariko.
* [[Looking for Love In All Thethe Wrong Places]]: again, Mariko.
* [[Love Triangle]]
* [[The Masochism Tango]]: {{spoiler|Mariko and Yuusuke's}} relationship quickly turns into this.
Line 56:
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: Ruriko misunderstand a passing comment by Miwako and gets all paranoid about her daughter spending all that time alone with Tsutomu.
* [[Pet Homosexual]]: Seiji's character is a thorough aversion of this trope.
* [[Pimped -Out Dress]]: Just see Mikako's creation on the fashion contest.
* [[Rummage Sale Reject]]: Often, Mikako.
* [[Second Love]]: {{spoiler|Ayumi for Yuusuke}}.
Line 62:
* [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: Literally, but well, if you bring up a topic of your love's "octopus lips" in the middle of romantic scene...
* [[Slice of Life]]
* [[Sorry, I'm Gay]]: Or in this case, {{spoiler|don't worry, I'm gay.}} {{spoiler|He lied}}. [[Paradise Kiss (Manga)|Probably]].
* [[Spoiled Brat]]
** Mariko
** Mikako even more, since she may be a little less spoiled, but more in "bratty", not [[Ojou]] way.
* [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Tsutomu wonders if he's the main male character, or Yuusuke. He has every reason to.
* [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]]: Yuusuke
* [[Tsundere]]: Mikako
* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]]: And how. Well, the heroine ''is'' a fashion designer in training.
* [[Victorious Childhood Friend]]: {{spoiler|Mikako and Tsutomu. Also, Mariko and Shuu.}}
* [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]]: Subverted, Yuusuke doesn't acknowledge that he's the princess in his care... and it causes a ''problem''.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Poor Yuusuke was wrong, he never got to star in his own manga. To be fair, [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad|he was pretty close to being one in this very series]], while [[Those Two Guys|Jirô]], [[Annoying Younger Sibling|Shintaro]] and [[Butt Monkey|Noriji]] had similar delusions. Noriji, though, gets a cameo in [[Paradise Kiss|the continuation]], where he's briefly presented as "some random ojii-san".
