Line 36:
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Many girls seem to automatically think Jiro is this, despite his gynophobia. On one example, [[The Tease|Kanade]] climbed on the table and tried to kiss a clearly terrified Jiro. Subaru then comes in, and asks if ''he'' was trying to kiss Kanade. Particularly bad because Subaru, being Kanade's butler, should know better than anyone how naughty and teasing Kanade is...
* [[Animal Motifs]]: There are several:
** Subaru is associated with sheep, because sheep (hitsuji) and butler (shitsuji) sound similar.
** Usami has a rabbit (usagi) motif for the same reason, and for some reason styles her hair in a way that vaguely resembles rabbit ears despite supposedly hating that conflation.
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Kureha.
* [[Antenna Hair]]: Usami
Line 70:
** And many more, including [http://www.animate.co.jp/ anomate], PlayStationary5, Mitsubusu, [http://www.nttdocomo.com/ Codomo]...
* [[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.
** In episode 7 Kanade says that Subaru in a bikini is actually "his" cousin, Punyuru. Kureha falls for both lies.
*** The whole school falls for it in episode 12, despite them transferring in and out at the same time. This is [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by Usami.
Line 124:
* [[Cuteness Overload]]: Kanade asks Subaru (as "Punyuru") to call her "Kana onee-chan". She complies... and Kanade falls to her knees.
{{quote|'''Kanade''': "I think I've created a monster."}}
** {{spoiler|She then turns around and has "Punyuru" call Jiro "Jiro onii-chan" in the manga and light novel. He also falls to the ground.}}
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Nakuru.
* [[Dead Guy, Junior]]: Played with -- Jiro took his nickname from the full name of his (and Kureha's) late father.
Line 137:
* [[Do Not Call Me Paul]]: Jiro does not like to be called by his full name.
* [[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]].}}
* [[Drunk on Milk]]: When Nakuru goes tipsy over carbonated drinks she gets...
** [[Drunken Boxing]]: ...the ability to instantly strip anyone.
* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Kureha pulls off one in Episode 2, making for a pretty painful [[Moment Killer]] for Jiro.
** Usami does it to Nakuru in episode 7.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Inverted example, the premise of the stories of both Jiro and Mayoi.
Line 180:
* [[Giver of Lame Names]]: Subaru, because she has a huge love of [[Gratuitous English]].
* [[Giving Up the Ghost]]: Jiro does it a couple of times.
* [[Gratuitous English]]: Part of the [[Signature Style]] of the director, [[Hayate the Combat Butler|Keiichiro]] [[Nyan Koi|Kawaguchi]]. There's a lot of random English one-liners at just the right spots to get a laugh.
** In an [[Imagine Spot]] in the first episode, Subaru writes [[Title Drop|"A butler strayed, I am chicken, episode end of earth"]] on a chalkboard.
** Subaru has [[Giver of Lame Names|a fondness]] for [[Gratuitous English]] names, like "Butler Knuckle" or "End of Earth", and gives Jiro the nickname "Silver Killer" when confronting him in the manga and [[Light Novel]]. Jiro points out how ridiculous these names are to Subaru's [[Luminescent Blush|embarrassment]].
Line 205:
* [[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.
* [[Instant Fanclub]]: Subaru has an all-female one. It undergoes a schism as [[Yaoi Fangirl|some members]] don't object to Jiro's [[Mistaken for Gay|(alleged) relationship]] with Subaru, while [[Yandere (disambiguation)|others do]].
* [[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.
Line 238:
* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: Kanade, who qualifies under ''multiple'' subtypes listed on that trope's page.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Jirou's name means "stand by me", according to his father. Which now pretty much defines his relationship to Subaru.
** Subaru's surname, Konoe, means "Imperial Guard", which matches quite well with her family's profession.
** Incidentally, the Kin in Kinjirou and the Kon in Konoe are both the same character (近), meaning close or nearby, which may or may not have any significance.
* [[Martial Arts and Crafts]]: It's not exactly this, but the Handcrafting Club is extremely hardcore. You know Kureha? She's in third place in regards to strength. And there's the "training camps." In the manga one of them had the club members sneak aboard a ship in the dead of night and sailing to an abandoned island.
Line 303:
** Usami does this very briefly after eating an octopus ball at the school festival in episode 6
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Kanade seems to be a master of this. It usually surprises the other characters when she does show up.
* [[Stringy
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Jiro and Kureha are nearly identical to their father and mother, respectively.
* [[Supporting Harem]]: To [[Trope Codifier|Trope Codifiying]] levels, to the point that everyone is head over heels for Subaru.
Line 331:
* [[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.
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]]/[[Psycho Lesbian]]: Ichigo towards Kanade. Mayoi even calls her this.
** 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.
