Line 6:
The mysterious "princess" follows Tsukimi to the "Nunnery", the boarding house she shares with a bunch of fellow nerdy [[Otaku]] girls, and ends up sleeping in Tsukimi's room. This dreamy girl, however, is not all what [[Wholesome Crossdresser|she looks...]]

Line 31:
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Banba, Jiji, and Mayaya. Mayaya grew hers out after her "fierce eyes" got her the nickname "Contract Killer".
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: When MC Hanamori tries to say "jellyfish" in English it comes out "jelly ear mushroom"
* [[Blue
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: {{spoiler|Kuranosuke in all probability}}.
** Nisha is Indian but speaks fluent Japanese (with an Osaka accent, I believe) since her ex-husband was Japanese.
Line 43:
* [[Corner of Woe]]: First episode.
** The Nuns go into this whenever someone violates some rule or asks some question on the 'Top 5 Things You Shouldn't Do in the Presence of/Ask the Nuns' (As helpfully pointed out by Clara, usually.)
* [[Damned By Faint Praise]]: "I almost kissed a girl who is practically a [[
* [[Delayed Reaction]]: Shu and Tsukimi are so innocent that their [[Accidental Hug]] and [[Accidental Pervert]] moments take a while to set in.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Nomu and Nisha do not appear in the anime.
Line 51:
* [[Twelve-Episode Anime|Eleven Episode Anime]]
* [[Elmuh Fudd Syndwome]]: Clara's cutesy way of talking. Okay, she only speaks in Tsukimi's [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]].
* [[Fairy Tale Motifs]]: Specifically princesses, and there are various references to [[Cinderella (
* [[Fairytale Wedding Dress]]
* [[Fashion Hurts]]: The high-heels-are-torture version. Kuranosuke assures the Sisterhood that the heels are weapon, so they just have to get used to the pain.
Line 66:
* [[I Need a Freaking Drink]]: Tsukimi has trouble sleeping restfully after {{spoiler|a photo of Inari and Shu in bed together broke her heart}}. She asks [[Hikikomori|Mejiro]] for advice on how to shut the painful thoughts from her mind. The answer? [[Big Word Shout|BOOZE]]! [[Drowning My Sorrows|Tsukimi complies]].
* [[Japanese Ranguage]]: Tsukimi uses it to cover Kuranosuke's ''[[Japanese Pronouns|ore]]'' slips by pretending them to be the Spanish ''olé''.

* [[Jiangshi]]: Mayaya thinks Tsukimi is cosplaying one after her clumsy attempts at removing her make-up. {{spoiler|And then the Nuns start goofing around playing too...}}
* [[Kansai Regional Accent]]: [[Funny Foreigner|Nisha]] has this, apparently because her ex-husband is from there.
Line 90:
* [[No Romantic Resolution]]: The anime doesn't resolve the love triangle.
* [[Nosebleed]]: Tsukimi and Shu each have one, which occur several minutes ''after'' they experience something arousing.
* [[Not Good
* [[Otaku]]: The girls of the Nunnery call themselves fujoshis, but only one of them (the mysterious [[Hikikomori]] BL author) fits the [[Yaoi Fangirl]] stereotype; the others are into less commonly depicted interests, like [[Rail Enthusiast|trains]], Japanese dolls, ''[[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]]'', jellyfish, old men...
** [[Not So Different|Even the "normal" people have strange obsessions]]: Shuu's driver is obsessed with cars to the point where he drove off a girlfriend, Kuranosuke is obsessed with fashion (but not in any practical way -- he wants to start a fashion line without knowing how to sew or even knowing anyone who knows how to sew), Kuranosuke and Shuu's dad loves women of all ages and demeanors except disgusting cross-dressers like his idiot son, ''the freaking prime minister of Japan'' seems to wish he was [[Camp Straight|a teenage girl]], and Inari appears to have based her life around business women mangas from the Eighties.

Line 151:
** Mayaya eventually tries this in the manga, too, but is also pulled back.
** {{spoiler|Mr. Koibuchi}}, of all people, jumps ''through'' a window to get into Kuranosuke's room!
* [[Taken for Granite]]: As an extreme form of [[Blue
* [[Take That]]: Mayaya is appalled by the [[Moe Moe]] version of a ''[[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]]'' character she finds at the local convenience store. [[Koihime Musou|I wonder which loose anime adaptation of that story this could be referring to...]]
* [[Talking to
* [[Tastes Like Friendship]]: Kuranosuke really wins the girls over with that expensive meat.
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: "Them boobs is fake, bitches!"
