Line 58:
* [[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).
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Kana Hanazawa]] playing an [[Adorkable]] girl [[Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin|again]], [[Mamiko Noto]] as Jiji, [[Mitsuki Saiga]] as Kuranosuke.
** [[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.
Line 74:
* [[Lonely Doll Girl]]: Nomu, but only to "worthless little worms" who don't love her "children" like she does.
* [[Love Bubbles]]: Played for laughs.
* [[Loves My Alter Ego]]: Shuu thinks dolled-up Tsukimi is [[Single -Target Sexuality|very attractive]]. He thinks normal Tsukimi is [[Mirror -Cracking Ugly|not]]. {{spoiler|Once he figures out they're the same person he thinks normal Tsukimi's cute too.}}
* [[The Love Slap of Epiphany]]: {{spoiler|Shu}} slaps {{spoiler|Inari}} for pretending to {{spoiler|commit suicide}} as a joke. This is the point where she starts to develop real feelings for him.
* [[Luminescent Blush]]: Kuranosuke gets one in Episode 11 that flirts with [[High -Pressure Emotion]], but doesn't quite get there.
* [[Makeover Montage]]: Kuranosuke started one in Episode 3 with Tsukimi. [[She Cleans Up Nicely|He did a good job.]]
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl|Manic Pixie Dream Guy]]: Kuranosuke is a rare male example of the manic pixie dream girl.
Line 105:
* [[Recursive Crossdressing]]: What the amars ''think'' "Kurako" is doing {{spoiler|although they quickly get confused when "she" is outed as a cross-dresser ("But if she's a girl forced to be a man in public why is she dressing like a girl to proclaim she's a man in front of the TV cameras...?")}}.
* [[Repeat Cut]]: Tsukimi is ''really'' shocked by [[Nerds Are Virgins|a very bold question]].
* [[Romance -Inducing Smudge]]: Briefly, a tea leaf.
* [[Rule of Symbolism]]: Lots of mirror-gazing and watching behind glasses and glass windows going on.
** In episode 1, when Tsukimi is walking home with Kuranosuke, she looks at the beautiful "princess" in admiration. Then Tsukimi sees their reflections side by side in a store window, and sighs at how plain she is by comparison. Later in the same episode, Tsukimi looks in her mirror when she tries on the "princess's" wig, and proceeds to muse on the subject of beauty and princesses.
Line 120:
** I always knew Mayaya [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/kuragehime/v06/c033/15.html just needed to ditch those bangs].
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Never mind the make-up...
* [[Shout -Out]]: The OP is Shout Out central, with nods to ''[[Sex and The City]]'', ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Singin in The Rain (Film)|Singin in The Rain]]'', ''[[Mary Poppins]]'', ''[[Emperor of the North]]'', ''[[God of Gamblers]]'', ''[[James Bond]]'', ''[[Game of Death]]'' (or ''[[Kill Bill]]'', your choice), ''[[The Graduate]]'' ([[ELAINE]]!!!!!), and ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]''.
** Tsukimi sees herself as [[Heidi Girl of the Alps|Heidi]] helping [[Ill Girl|Clara]] in one [[Imagine Spot]].
** [[Barbie]], used straight as a symbol of unattainable beauty.
** And somehow, strangely Vic's Vapor Rub.
*** Vapor rubs, particularly Vic's, are pretty popular in Japan.
** Back to movie references: Kon Ichikawa's ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burmese_Harp_%281956_film%29:The Burmese Harp chr(28)1956 filmchr(29)|The Burmese Harp]]'' in the last episode.
** In episode 9, Inari [[Saint Seiya|goes Pegasus]] when told Shu is {{spoiler|a virgin}}.
** Kuranosuke {{spoiler|manages to trick Chieko and Jiji into thinking he's a girl raised as a boy (even he can't believe it worked) when he}} refers to ''[[Rose of Versailles]]'' and starts dressing as Oscar.
Line 159:
* [[Top Ten List]]: Hosted by Clara.
* [[Trying Not to Cry]]
* [[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.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Kuranosuke goes all super dramatic action mode when he gives Tsukimi her first make-over, complete with superspeed blurring hands, battle-cries, and dramatic hand motions.
