Kuragehime: Difference between revisions

* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Subverted. Although he's naive when it comes to women and relationships, Shū is intelligent and politically savvy.

** Kuranosuke, on the other hand, is this trope played straight.

* [[Astronomic Zoom]]: When Kuranosuke says something inconceivable to our heroine: "Because I wanted to see you, Tsukimi." After a while you wonder how much farther it's gonna zoom out.

* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: The Nuns when confronted with objects of their nerdy desires. Especially Mayaya and Banba. Kuranosuke and Shuu's uncle, the ''Prime Minister of Japan'', would rather be a hyperactive teenage girl than the leader of the country.

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him|Dropped A Bridget On Her]]

* [[Dropped Glasses]]: Tsukimi gets bolder without her glasses on. See [[Rule of Symbolism]] below.

* [[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 (Literature)|Cinderella]].

* [[Gecko Ending]]

* [[Gender Vocabulary Slip]]: Kuranosuke slips into the [[Japanese Pronouns|''ore'' pronoun]], but since he's so good at cross-dressing, he still passes as a [[Bokukko]] (with a bit of help from Tsukimi, see below).

** [[Junichi Suwabe]] as Shuu, [[Takehito Koyasu]] as Hanamori...

* [[Hikikomori]]: The unseen BL author, who never comes out of her room, is nocturnal, and communicates with the other Nuns via handwritten notes slipped under the door. The other Nuns also display milder hiki tendencies.

* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl|Manic Pixie Dream Guy]]: Kuranosuke is a rare male example of the manic pixie dream girl.

* [[Matchmaker Crush]]: {{spoiler|Kuranosuke does his best to get Shu and Tsukimi together, only to realize a bit too late that ''he's'' falling for Tsukimi.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: The kanji for Inari's name is shared with a Shinto deity who is closely associated with Kitsune. What do the Nuns call her? "The Vixen."

** More immediately, the kanji for Tsukimi (月海) reversed can be read as "kurage" (海月), or "jellyfish".

* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Tsukimi.

* {{spoiler|[[Sibling Triangle]]}}

* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]: {{spoiler|Inari ends up falling for pure-pure Shu.}}

* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]

*** Although Inari also hits this trope when she gets comically elbowed in the face by Kuranosuke.

* [[Spit Take]]

** Step 1: Makeovers!

** Step 2: ???

* [[Talking to The Dead]]: Tsukimi addresses her [[Surrogate Soliloquy|inner monologues]] to her mother.

* [[Tastes Like Friendship]]: Kuranosuke really wins the girls over with that expensive meat.

* [[Too Much Information]]: When Hanamori is surrounded by the "24 Ophelias" he blurts out that he's so obsessed with cars that his girlfriend left him because he loves cars more than her. Later, he lets it slip that if he's bribed with cars he'll reveal anything to anyone and {{spoiler|at the fashion show goes into great detail that Kuranosuke is just a cross-dresser, not transsexual.}}

* [[Top Ten List]]: Hosted by Clara.

* [[Two Person Love Triangle]]: Between Shuu and Tsukimi, {{spoiler|though it's quickly becoming a humorous [[Sibling Triangle]] [[Love Dodecahedron]]}}.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: A few of the characters have odd exclamations, IE Mayaya's "Nuwo!" or Inari's use of outdated sayings.

* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Kuranosuke, though he denies it and says he's just "interested in female fashion".

** That's one of his reasons for cross dressing, the other being {{spoiler|ruining his image to avoid being railroaded into a political career by his family.}}
