Mayo Chiki!: Difference between revisions

Kinjiro "Jiro" Sakamachi fears women, to the point of nosebleeding whenever he is touched by women. It doesn't help that his younger sister Kureha wakes him up with excruciatingly painful wrestling moves—a trait inherited from their mother, herself a former champion wrestler. His only escape is high school.

 

 

After being knocked unconscious by Subaru, Jiro wakes up with all his limbs save his left arm chained to a clinic bed. He discovers the [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|sadistic side]] of Kanade, who then blackmails him into keeping Subaru's gender a secret—and with good reason. Subaru was the exception to her family's centuries-old prohibition against allowing females to serve as butlers for the Suzutsuki family, due to being the only child, provided she keep her gender secret from the rest of her classmates at Rouran Academy throughout her tenure. He agrees to keep it so, after Kanade also promised to help cure his gynophobia.

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: Played straight in many cases but also subverted in others.

* [[Above the Influence]]: Several times in the anime, but most evident during episode 12 when Jiro is sharing a hotel room alone with Subaru. Kanade even says over the phone that they could be doing things as well, which is definitely on his mind. Subaru even seems willing to go along with it since its him, but he tells her that while he wouldn't mind it, he wants to share the experience with someone he loves. Cue Subaru then getting out of her futon, and climbing into his anyway...but [[I Thought It Meant|just to sleep next to him.]]

** She does a poor job of concealing that she's hungry after her stomach growls from not having eaten for a day.

** In the novel and episode 4 of the anime, she offers to do the laundry for Jirou while staying over at his place, after sparring. He catches her sniffing his recently used sweaty towel, after which all she manages to say is this:

* [[Base Breaker]]: [[In-Universe]], Jiro has unwittingly become this to Subaru's fangirls, on account of his (alleged) gay romance with Subaru. In fact, fangirls who approve of their relationship (implied to constitute roughly ''half'' of Subaru's entire fanbase), led by Nakuru, formed their own club, "Let's Warmly Protect Subaru-Sama Committee" (Mimamorugai), leaving the original club, "Shooting Star Subaru-Sama" (S4), entirely to the other half—the ones who vehemently object to such a relationship.

** And it's slowly going to end up in a [[Civil War]].

* [[Bland-Name Product]]: Usami knocks down a [[Nintendo 3DS|Fuiridou 4D2]] in the festival shoot-out.

** Some bottles of "Jin Be" (Jim Beam) can be seen in the cafe in episode 13.

* [[Blatant Lies]]: Several examples, largely to keep unaware characters from suspecting Subaru is a girl.

** One happens when Kanade tells Kureha that she's dating Jiro in episode 3.

** Nagare's first fight with him in episode 3. He claims he was holding back, but Jiro doesn't think he was. Later in episode 8, he nearly dropkicks Jiro in the bathhouse, until Subaru counters him.

** The S4 girls try to attack him several times, and the other group even joins in during episode 12, but he always manages to avoid or block their attacks.

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Usami manages to squirt a large quantity of glue over her face and hair.

* {{spoiler|[[Driven to Suicide]]: Usami in the manga, due to her inability to trust anyone finally getting too much for her. Fortunately, Jiro is able to stop her, turning this into an [[Interrupted Suicide]].}}

** Usami herself has one, as her name sounds similar to "usagi" ("rabbit"), a fact that gets made fun of a lot. It doesn't help that she's pretty petite and the ribbons that bind her [[Twin Tails]] stick out like bunny ears.

* [[Everything Is Worse With Bears]]: Kureha encountered one while wandering around during her club camp outing. She beat it, but not before she broke an arm and got sent home early.

* [[Excited Show Title!]]

* [[Expressive Accessory]]: Nakuru's cat ears.

* [[In-Series Nickname]]: "Jiro" for Kinjiro. And he prefers to be called as such, thanks to the embarrassing nature of his real name.

** Also "Bakachiki" from Usami.

* [[It Amused Me]]: Pretty much the reason behind almost anything Kanade does.

* [[I Just Want to Have Friends]]: Usami is a [[Loners Are Freaks|loner]] initially, but eventually starts to hang out with Jiro and other girls.

* [[Lethal Chef]]: Subaru. When she tries cooking something with Jiro in the light novel, he mentions that he repeatedly had to stop her from accidentally setting fire to the house multiple times.

* [[Letting the Air Out of the Band]]: Used frequently in the anime when gags occur.

* [[Lolicon]]: Kosame. Subaru thinks it has something to do with her complex about her bust size.

** Jiro specifically denies being this, saying he "isn't interested in anyone Kureha's age or younger" despite her only being a year younger.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Kanade.

* [[The Tease]]: Kanade big time towards Jiro. Particularly hilarious in episode 7 while on the beach. She asks Jiro to put some sunscreen on her, then makes some really suggestive sounds and lines, which causes a lot of embarrassment for him, and causes [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Subaru]] to ask if he wants to play [[Smashing Watermelons]], or get buried in the sand. Cue Jiro's shock when he sees Subaru wielding a really large spiked club, and having dug a very deep pit in the sand.

** He pulls it again in episode 9, this time on Usami.

* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: Usami hums the opening theme while in the bath in episode 13.

* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: How Kureha wakes up Jiro. Also, Yakemi is supposedly strong enough to beat a tiger with her bare hands.

* [[Writer's Block]]: Nakuru gets one in Episode 13 concerning her BL doujins. She asks [[Mistaken for Gay|Jiro]] for help.

** And inadvertently, the S4 is following the same path, with their overprotective attitude towards Subaru and utter contempt for Jiro.

* [[Yaoi Fangirl]]: Nakuru is a brazen one, even amongst her peers at the Mimamorugai.
