Line 16:
* [[Arranged Marriage]]: Shinobu and Benio. {{spoiler|In a subversion, it's because of a family tragedy (see [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]) rather than mere social and economic interests.}}
** [[Perfectly Arranged Marriage]]: When they get to know each other better.
* [[Asian Gal Withwith White Guy]]: Genderflipped Shinobu (mixed ethnicity) and Larissa (Russian). {{spoiler|He still ends up with the full-blooded Japanese Benio.}} Also subverted since Shinobu, due to his [[Hair of Gold]] and [[Blue Eyes]], looks ''very'' Western.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: Shinobu's grandfather plays it for weirdness.
* [[Beta Couple]]: {{spoiler|Tamaki and Shinobu's friend Shingo Onijima.}} Also, {{spoiler|Benio's father and Kichiji.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Bittersweet Ending]] ''and'' [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]}}: The manga. On one hand, {{spoiler|Benio and Shinobu overcome their difficulties, find each other again ''and'' finally get married; not to mention, Tamaki and Shingo get together too, and so do Benio's dad and Kichiji.}} On the other, {{spoiler|this happens right after ''[[wikipedia:1923 Great Kant%C5%8D earthquake|the 1923 Kanto earthquake]]'' '''and''' when Benio is about to marry her [[Second Love]] Tousei. Larissa is fatally injured via [[Diving Save|taking a]] [[Falling Chandelier of Doom]] for Shinobu; since he has recovered his memories, her last wish is to have him go search for Benio and make her happy. Benio herself is thought to be MIA after the Catholic church in which she was about to marry Tousei collapses; she has actually survived, so she an Shinobu find each other, but both are injured and are THIS close to be [[Together in Death]], if not for Tousei's efforts and then acceptance of their mutual feelings. And then there's a bit of [[Fridge Horror]] when you recall that the now-together Tamaki and Shingo are leaving ''to Manchuria'' (it already wasn't an easy place to live in, [[wikipedia:Manchuria#History after 1860|but what happened in the 20-something years after this]] made it even worse).}}
** In the anime, which [[Screwed Byby the Network|was cut short due to bad ratings]], it's rather... different. {{spoiler|In the final episode, Benio is told that the mysterious Russian count is not Shinobu; Larissa has a photograph of their wedding day to prove it. However, an epilogue narration reveals that Larissa found Shinobu in Siberia; he was severely hurt, and was the spitting image of her late husband (and his long lost half-brother). The final episode concludes with Benio finally being reunited with the not-amnesiac-anymore Shinobu.}}
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Benio likes drinking ''sake''.
* [[Broken Bird]]: Larissa, due to {{spoiler|having lost her husband [[The Mourning After|whom she loved very much]] ''and'' being both a borderline [[Fallen Princess]] and an [[Ill Girl]].}}
Line 34:
* [[He-Man Woman Hater]]: Tousei. Uncommonly for the trope, he has a [[Freudian Excuse]]: {{spoiler|his [[Brainless Beauty]] of a mother all but abandoned him, thus he has serious issues towards women. Doesn't stop him from falling for Benio, though, since she's the only woman he truly trusts.}}
* [[Heroes Love Dogs]]: The Iijyuin family has two: Tenmaru and Chimaru
* [[Hot Chick Withwith a Sword]]: Benio is a kendo student so she has a trusty kendo stick
* [[Hot Scoop]]: {{spoiler|Benio}}
* {{spoiler|[[Important Haircut]]: Benio, after deciding to work with her own hands and support the Iijyuin family.}}
Line 48:
* [[Please Dump Me]]: Attempted by Benio at first. Doesn't work.
* [[Plucky Girl]]: Benio, oh Benio.
* [[Raised Byby Grandparents]]: Shinobu
* [[Red Baron]]: Shingo "The Black Wolf of the Manchurian Steppe" Onijima
* [[Romantic Runner-Up]]: Larissa and {{spoiler|Tousei}}. The {{spoiler|first}} is a specially tragic case.
