[[File:greenwood9.jpg|frame]]

 

Kazuya Hasukawa is in a dreadful bind. His brother's new wife is also Kazuya's first love. Determined to avoid them both, Kazuya leaves home to live in ''Ryokurinryou'' or as it is known by its much easier to pronounce English name, Greenwood, the student dorm of the all-boys' Ryokuto Academy.

There, he hopes to find peace of mind. Unfortunately for Kazuya, he starts his term a month late due to the combination of a car accident and a stress-induced ulcer. When he does finally arrive, he finds that peace (of any kind) is hard to find at Greenwood - home of some of the weirdest characters found on any campus.

 

 

* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: Thanks to Shinobu's influence.

* [[All There in the Manual]]

* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Subverted twice with Shinobu and his siblings. Subverted with Akira, who is set up to be the [[Aloof Big Brother]], but who turns out to be an weak-willed [[Ineffectual Loner]] who couldn't handle his responsibility to his family. Subverted again with Shinobu, who is an Aloof ''Younger'' Brother to both of his older siblings. Especially Nagisa, who has a raging inferiority complex and is constantly trying to get him at her mercy. Interesting, Nagisa seems to have perceived Akira as a straight play of this trope before he ran away, despite the afore mentioned facts.

* [[Apron Matron]]: The dorm mother.

* [[Army of Thieves and Whores]]: Shun and Shinobu organize one of these out of the dorm residents {{spoiler|to help get the female gang that was antagonizing Miya to back off}}.

* [[Continuity Creep]]

* [[Christmas Cake]]: Mieko's second manager, Yuki Otani.

* [[Dawson Casting]]: Of the four leads in the drama, only Yuki Izawa (Kazuya) was actually the same age as his character at the time. The other three were all in their 20s.

* [[Day in The Limelight]]: Several of these, such as [[Yaoi Guys|Watanabe and Fujikake's]] [[Whole-Episode Flashback|backstory]], Furusawa's romance, and the story about [[Young Entrepreneur|Sakaguchi and Aoki's]] arcade.

** In the [[Baseball Episode]], the opposing team finds out when Shun is [[Groin Attack|hit in the groin by the ball]].

** Most of the [[Pool Episode]] is told from the point of view of one of the lifeguards, who spots Shun, decides he's a chick, and spends most of the chapter plotting how to ask "her" out, until the very end when Shun takes off his shirt.

* [[Furo Scene]]: Several of these, notably one during the class trip where some of the other characters are lamenting the irrefutable truth that [[Wholesome Crossdresser|Shun]] [[Attractive Bent Gender|is a]] [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|dude]] and one when the guys visit Shun's family's ryokan.

* [[Golem]]: An alien made a golem that looked like Shinobu out of chocolate.

* [[Heir Club for Men]]: Shun's family inherits through the female line only. Shun may be the oldest, but his baby sister is the one who inherits the [[Family Business]]. Shinobu’s family plays it straighter, which is the ''real'' source of Nagisa’s woes.

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Pick any set of roommates at Greenwood. There's a high probability that they are this.

** [[Toshihiko Seki|Shinobu]] shares his voice with [[Pet Shop of Horrors|Count D]], [[Gundam Wing|Duo Maxwell]] and [[Saiyuki|Genjo Sanzo]], to name a few.

** [[Fushigi Yuugi|You also may]] [[Digimon Adventure|have heard]] [[Chika Sakamoto|Shun's voice]] [[Sailor Moon|somewhere before]].

** The supporting cast includes [[Kazuhiko Inoue]] as Kazuhiro, [[Hiromi Tsuru]] as Nagisa, [[Hikaru Midorikawa]] as Tochizawa (Here is Devilwood director), [[Chieko Honda]] as Miya and [[Kappei Yamaguchi]] as Tenma.

* [[School Festival]]: There's multiple stories about Ryokuto's athletic festival and cultural festival.

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Aki and Ririko.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Possibly to the point of being [[Reference Overdosed]]. In any given volume of the manga as translated by [[Viz Media]], probably half of the translation notes at the end are explanations of the various shout outs in that volume.

* [[Side-Story Bonus Art]]: The [[Cosplay Fan Art|cosplay chapter]] in the manga is a drawn out variation of this. The final chapter has some of this as well.
