Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai!: Difference between revisions

** [[Dangerously-Short Skirt]]: As a result.

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Numerous, what with its all-star voice cast. A notable one has [[Kappei Yamaguchi|the pervert Ikurou]] suddenly speaking in a monotone, turning serious, developing an incredible intellect, and introducing himself thus:

* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Inevitable, as tends to be the case with any visual novel anime adaptation. Whether it ends up being a case of [[Pragmatic Adaptation]] or [[Adaptation Decay]] still remains to be seen.

* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: Gen-san's actual name is Tadakatsu Minamoto, which doesn't come up very often. The whole family calls Shouichi "Cap", short for Captain, and Momoyo, being a year older than everyone else, is "Momo-senpai". Yukie is called Mayucchi by her friends and Mayumayu by Momoyo; Kazuko is known by all as Wanko, but she's also in the habit of doling out nicknames herself - Tacchan for Gen-san, for instance, and Kuri for Chris. Subverted later on in the latter two's respective routes, where Yamato starts calling them by their given names instead - in particular, in Wanko's path, Momoyo catches on to their [[Relationship Upgrade]] via a sudden lack of this trope.

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Usually Momoyo thanks to her in-universe status as the [[World's Strongest Man|World's Strongest Woman]], though occasionally invoked to lesser degrees by other members of the family, as well as {{spoiler|Hideo}} in the Ryuuzetsuran storyline.

* [[Bishounen]]: Cap and Touma have their own fan clubs at school.

* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: In the [[Visual Novel]], Assistant Master Lu spends time brainstorming names for his new special moves.

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor|Can't Hold Her Liquor]]: Chris pretty much gets instantly inebriated whenever the [[Frothy Mugs of Water|Kawakami Water]] comes out. Played for hilarious effect in her own route, where it leads to a threesome with {{spoiler|Margit}}.

* [[Crossover]]: More than a simple [[Shout-Out]], members of the [[They Are My Noble Masters|Kuonji household]] shows up in several places, as they live in the neighbouring area. In one of the routes they even spend the night in that mansion. Naturally, one of them mentions that Yukie has a [[Actor Allusion|nice voice]].

* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Momoyo has strong reactions to any cute girl she happens upon.

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: How Yamato gets Chris to come around to his way of doing things.

* [[Do Not Call Me Paul]]: Serves as a [[Berserk Button]] for Angel.

* [[Doorstopper]]: 5 heroines, 3 sub-heroines, 3 friend ends, and 1 true end. The sequel adds after-stories for all five original heroines, as well as including 2 brand new heroines and 3 paths for characters who got the [[Promotion to Love Interest]].

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: In every route, but particularly the Ryuuzetsuran one, where even {{spoiler|[[Invincible Hero]] Momoyo}} comes close to biting it at one point.

* [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]]: {{spoiler|Gen-san}} in the Ryuuzetsuran path.

* [[Gratuitous English]]: Miyako

{{quote| ''I rub yu!''}}

* [[Harem Genre]]: Subverted. Though there are multiple heroines, ''MajiKoi'' doesn't quite qualify as a [[Harem Genre|Harem Comedy]] since no more than two of them are really interested in Yamato at any given time. See [[Love Triangle]] for details.

** The anime seems to have [[Adaptation Distillation|abandoned the game's approach]] in favor of the classic Harem setup, most likely so that they can fit everybody's storylines in.

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: One of the main draws of the [[Visual Novel]] (and the anime by extension), along with the [[Actor Allusion|Actor Allusions]]. Check out the trivia page for the entire list.

** [[All-Star Cast]]

* [[Hidden Eyes]]: This game being [[H-game|what it is]], the [[Ecchi]] CGs all feature this, though this is not the case with the "regular" CGs.

* [[Hot Teacher]]: Umeko-sensei, a sub-heroine with her own [[Maybe Ever After|"ending"]].

* [[I Coulda Been a Contender]]: {{spoiler|Hideo}} of all people, who was apparently a genius baseball pitcher before getting caught up in a terrorist attack and suffering a career-ending injury. Particularly of significance in the {{spoiler|Wanko and Ryuuzetsuran routes.}}

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Doesn't help that the very first episode throws practically all of them at you at once. It takes a couple of episodes before you really get to know them all.

* [[Loser Protagonist]]: Gakuto who, besides short stints with a serial sadist, fails to secure so much as a date for the duration of the game. In fact, in several of the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue|Where Are They Now Epilogues]], Gakuto is ''still'' getting turned down on a regular basis.

** A short one during the end of Momoyo's route between Yamato, Capt, and Momoyo. Unfortunately for Capt, he grew up way too late to be of any real threat to Yamato.

** A silent one between Yamato, Miyako, and Moro. Due to his personality, and the fact that he knows its hopeless, Moro pretty much stays quiet about it.

* [[One Steve Limit]]: Very much in effect, even with the sequel's 70+ character count.

* [[Opposite Sex Clone]]: [[wikipedia:Minamoto no Yoshitsune|Yoshitsune]] and [[wikipedia:Benkei|Benkei]], as per their namesakes, are the female clones of the famous historical figures. Seiso is likely this as well, though it's not yet revealed who she's a clone of.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Ms. Kishido]]. The only different thing she's wearing is the mask. This might have worked had she not been [[Phenotype Stereotype|a blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigner in Japan]].

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Yamato's parents moved overseas because his father lost hope in Japan. Cap's dad is an adventurer who doesn't mind his son doing the same. {{spoiler|Wanko}} is [[Conveniently an Orphan]], {{spoiler|Miyako}} has a [[Missing Mom|not-particularly-missed Mom]]. Mayucchi's parents live in another province, and she stays at [[Boarding School|the dormitory]].

* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Momoyo and Yuji

* [[Relationship Upgrade]]: Each heroine's path, of course.

* [[Running Gag]]: Several. One such example would be the dog whistles that each member of the family carries which, when blown, will have Wanko come running if she is within earshot. Unfortunately, this response is so deeply ingrained that her feet respond automatically, causing it to often be used against her, particularly when exam time comes around and there's studying to be done. Exploited for [[Mood Dissonance]] during her route, when Yamato uses it to locate her after {{spoiler|she's [[The Runaway|run away from home]].}}

** The anime has one for Miyako starting episode 2 - each episode begins with an attempt by her to win Yamato's heart through increasingly ridiculous means, all of which fail.

** Numerous references to other galge and makers, including Giga, who lent their game engine to the [[Maji Koi]] series.

** In a scene in Wanko's route, Wanko mention that her heart skipped when [[Koihime Musou|Kaku]] is mentioned. This is extended further by [[Hyo-sei|Miyako]] saying she sounds like [[Koihime Musou|Teiiku]] and Chika saying she sounds like [[Koihime Musou|Chouhi]].

** [[Touch|"Tacchan, take me to Koshien."]]

* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Miyako in the [[Visual Novel]], to the point that in all of the endings where she doesn't end up with Yamato, she's still shown to be waiting for him even decades later.

* [[Spam Attack]]: All the heroines, at some point - even Miyako gets in on the action with her pachinko balls.

* [[Standing Between the Enemies]]: During Miyako's storyline, in order to atone for having let things get so far out of hand while {{spoiler|Cap was away}}, Yamato stops a four-way fight between {{spoiler|Wanko, Miyako, Mayucchi, and Chris}} - with his body. {{spoiler|Mayucchi}} reacts fast enough to pull back at the last moment, but between the other three, Yamato is very much Not OK.

* [[Student Council President]]: Though there is an official one, they don't seem to do much. {{spoiler|In the Ryuuzetsuran path Hideo usurps this role, though not without good reason.}}

* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: The game version shows several example of this trope example of this including

** Men are about courage, bgm that was played each time Yamato or any other male character get their [[Moment of Awesome]].

* [[Tin Can Robot]] Cookie in his first form

* [[Tournament Arc]]: Yes, they go there in S, in Tsubame's route. Paired team battle, where the 1st fighter to lose, loses for the whole team. The prize? A chance to fight Momoyo, who isn't participating, because that'd be unfair. But Yamato is!

* [[Tsundere]]: Gen-san, as [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by others in the family. He manages to invoke [[I Was Just Passing Through]] pretty much every time he "happens" to lend a hand. The only girl on the heroine side who comes even remotely close is Chris, and even she starts dere-ing it up rather quickly. This may, however, change in the sequel, with the advent of Kokoro's storyline.

* [[Unprovoked Pervert Payback]]: In episode 2, the girls all come running out of the bath, ''bare ass naked'' after a dog they were hired to catch, and all come crashing into Yamato's room. They proceed to beat Yamato up, because of that.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Haguro likes to add -kei in random places.

* [[Wall of Weapons]]: A small example in 2F's classroom - a bunch of melee weapons are on permanent display above the blackboard.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: Given that this is a game about [[Action Girl|martial artist girls]] attending a [[School of Hard Knocks]]...

** Momoyo, the most overwhelmingly powerful character in the game, uses [[Bare-Fisted Monk|her fists]];

** Miyako, well-known for her [[Nerves of Steel|nigh-unbreakable concentration]], is [[The Archer]];

** Mayucchi, daughter of the current [[wikipedia:Kensei|''Kensei'' or Sword Saint]], wields [[Katanas Are Just Better|a katana]];
