Line 10:
In chapter 50, Igarashi Tora goes through a whole production of asking Misaki to date him. Misaki is, of course, too [[Tsundere]] to just out and say that she's already in love with someone else... so she fumbles through a refusal based on social status which is set up to cause friction between herself and Usui. So... what happened to "no, because ''you tried to rape me, you asshole''"?
* I haven't read far enough into this series to see these scenes, but I have seen enough of the [[Near-Rape Experience]] trope in manga to chalk this sort of thing up to [[Values Dissonance]]. It even happens in some of the all-time great romance comedy manga (including [[Maison Ikkoku]] and [[
** I'll refrain from spoiling specifics, but in brief, it ''was'' [[Attempted Rape]] and not a [[Near-Rape Experience]], Igarashi did ''not'' stop himself, he did prove himself to be a generally two-faced and unlikeable human being and Misaki was pretty well pissed off at him over it at the time. I'll allow for [[Values Dissonance]] and Japanese culture informing her attitude, but even with that, it still seems like it would be the first reason to come to mind to refuse him when he asked her out, especially since they'd had no real positive interaction between incidents that would soften Misaki's opinion.
*** Okay, in that case I totally agree; that does indeed look like something by which to be bugged.
Line 22:
* [[Your Mileage May Vary]] on this one. She's softened toward Usui and become much less aggressively misandrist after recognizing and having to correct several foulups with the guys of Seika, but I don't see that she's become a "whimpering mess." (Blushing a lot is par for the course for any tsundere.)
* Indeed, you can't have a tsundere without the actual deredere you know. And besides, she’s still strong and independent, it’s just that she has now learned that regardless of how strong and capable she is, doing absolutely everything by herself is not healthy at all; and besides, there’s a big difference between trusting others and being able to work in tandem with them to actually being weak or incapable, which is actually the whole point of the development of her “president persona” (at least in my opinion).
* Wow, dude. [[Real Women Never Wear Dress|Real women never wear dresses]] much? So a girl can't even develop from being a total island of a [[Straw Feminist
