Line 15:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Abuse Is Okay When Its Female On Male]]: Ringo beats up Shoma a few times, though as [[Character Development]] kicks in she stops doing it.▼
* [[Abusive Parents]]/[[Parental Neglect]]: A major theme in the show; the majority of the older characters have a screwed up childhood because of them.
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Ringo, though it only comes up as a minor note in her introduction. (And considering her design, it's a sort-of informed flaw.)
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
* {{spoiler|[[Cain and Abel]]}}: After episode 21, {{spoiler|Kanba is shaping up as a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] Cain with Shouma as a [[Break the Cutie|broken cutie]] Abel.}} There's a sort of subversion, too, as when this trope sets in, {{spoiler|Kanba tells Shouma that they're not brothers anymore.}}
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Shouma tries to tell Himari's doctor and later Ringo about the powers of the penguin hat, with no success {{spoiler|until Ringo sees that Himari's life really does rely on the hat's presence}}.
* [[Casting Couch]]: What Ringo suspects about Yuri in her [[
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: If the end credits are anything to go by, the pink- and blue-haired cartoon girls who have been appearing in commercials and on merchandise will make an entrance as actual characters and members of the same faction as Himari's possessor. {{spoiler|Now revealed to be two childhood friends of Himari which shot to fame as a singing group!}}
* [[The Chikan]]: Yukina (Ringo's ganguro best friend) mistakes Shoma for one in episode 2.
Line 76 ⟶ 75:
* [[Do-It-Yourself Theme Tune]]: Episode 10 features a cover of the ending theme by [[Yui Horie]] (Masako).
** The ending themes from the second half of the series are songs from the band ARB done by Triple H.
▲* [[
* [[Dress Hits Floor]]: {{spoiler|Ringo}} at the beginning of episode 8.
* [[Dying Declaration of Love]]: In the final episode, {{spoiler|Shouma gives this to Ringo before succumbing to his [[Heroic Sacrifice]].}}
Line 279:
* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Shoma counts. He's a [[Supreme Chef]] and does most of the household chores. In fact, one episode has Kanba and Himari calling him the perfect [[Housewife]].
** Himari, to a lesser explict degree. She takes after her mom Chiemi.
* [[
** {{spoiler|Masako}} also seems to be this... for Kanba. It's specially shown via {{spoiler|erasing the memories of Kanba's ex girlfriends (after apparently pushing one of them down a stair!)}} and later {{spoiler|staging a whole [[Hostage Situation]] both to get Ringo's half of the Diary... and to steal a kiss from him.}} Though she seems to be less... unstable and more calculating than the standard [[
** Tabuki's girlfriend/fiancée Yuri also veers towards this by episode 14, {{spoiler|trying to rape Ringo because she resembles her older sister and Yuri's childhood friend/crush Momoka so much. She too has an extreme [[Freudian Excuse]] behind her actions.}}
** {{spoiler|''Tabuki'' is shown to have some whiffs of this as well, as of the end of episode 17 and the whole of episode 18 -- he actually ''tries to kill Himari'' to punish the Takakura family for the death of Momoka. Again, he has an extreme [[Freudian Excuse]].}}
