Line 10:
This semi-[[Shounen]] (believe it or not, this is a [[Seinen]] series) fantasy [[Manga]] written by Piro Shiki and Hotaru Takana tells of Toru's time in high school as he struggles to maintain his low profile while assisting the ever-annoying (well, to him anyway) Koyuki who stands out too much. Rounding out the cast are [[Eyes Always Shut|Hijiri Shinonuka]], Toru's only friend who sees past Toru for being an Iris Zero; [[Fiery Redhead|Asahi Yuki]], Koyuki's friend; [[Emotionless Girl|Nanase Kuga]], who's even more withdrawn than Toru; and [[Stoic Spectacles|Harumi Tokita]], Kuga's [[Childhood Friends|childhood friend]].
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: Inverted; the student council members seem to get exploited heavily by teachers and students to run errands and do busywork. Poor Sasamori, the council president, can't say no, either.
Line 47:
** Class 2-6: Koyuki Sasamori, Hijiri Shinozuka, and Asahi Yuki.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Toru. To his extreme annoyance. Asahi and Sasamori take it as a given that he'll help anyone in need.
* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: It's a manga drawn in a [[Moe|cute]] [[Puni Plush|art style]] about a [[Ineffectual Loner|loner boy]] who teams up with his popular, friendly classmate and begins coming out of his shell, set in a world where most young people have magical powers that let them "[[Augmented Reality|see]]" various things. Sounds pretty sweet, right? Only the loner is the way he is due to years of being [[All of the Other Reindeer|viciously bullied]] for not having a power, and he gets teased even worse after making friends with the aforementioned classmate; meanwhile, many of the people who do have powers are troubled by them, to the point where one person tries to erase everybody's magic. That being said,
* [[The Cynic]]/[[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Toru is a bitter pessimist who wants as little as possible to do with the rest of the world and his peers... except it's incredibly easy to get him to help solve problems and make things better for other people, even someone responsible for his life as an outcast.
* {{spoiler|[[Dark and Troubled Past]]}}: {{spoiler|Kuga's father used to abuse her and possibly even cheated on her mother, but Kuga couldn't tell her mother because she didn't want to hurt her feelings. It still came out anyway, and led to her parents' divorce.}}
Line 84:
* [[Heart Is an Awesome Power]]: Almost all of the Irises would be considered a joke in another manga.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Sasamori describes Toru and Hijiri as a "happy couple," with each being the first one the other goes to for anything, including company for lunch despite being in different classes
* [[Humans Are
* [[I Don't Want to Ruin Our Friendship]]: {{spoiler|It's one of the reasons Toru pretends that he doesn't notice Sasamori's feelings for him.}}
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: Sasamori admits to Toru that she's a little jealous of his "ability" to see the world as it is, without some kind of filter over it. Toru, meanwhile, is quite bitter about being "normal" by the previous generation's standards and not his own.
