Line 8:

* [[The Ace]]: Suzu.

** {{spoiler|[[Broken Ace]]}}

* [[A Cup Angst]]: Ayane.

* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Ayane.

* [[Abusive Parents|Abusive Dad]]: Ikuto's.

* [[Accidental Kiss]]: Ikuto to {{spoiler|Ayane}}.

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: As much as he tries to avoid an "eyeful" (or a [[Thanks for ~~The~~ Mammary|handful]], or a faceful, or...[[Overly Long Gag|yeah, we'd better stop now]]) Ikuto still crosses into this.

* [[Accidental Pervert]]: As much as he tries to avoid an "eyeful" (or a [[Thanks for the Mammary|handful]], or a faceful, or...[[Overly Long Gag|yeah, we'd better stop now]]) Ikuto still crosses into this.

* [[Action Girl]]: Pretty much every girl in the island.

* [[Acquired Poison Immunity]]: Kokoro reveals that she has been putting poison into her daughter's drinks and food for years to gain this affect after Ikuto accidentally drinks from the wrong cup.

Line 88:

*** She also fails to notice the effects of a [[Bad Luck Charm]] because her luck is ''already'' terrible.

** Michiru, after her initial introduction was often [[Running Gag|stepped on, forgotten by the characters, or simply not noticed.]] Around the same time, Ayane started getting more competent.

*** [[Cosmic Plaything]]: The author likes to even ''directly'' poke fun at Michiru. [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall|Hello, Table of Contents!]]

*** [[Cosmic Plaything]]: The author likes to even ''directly'' poke fun at Michiru. [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|Hello, Table of Contents!]]

** Being a [[Harem]] male protagonist Ikuto gets the stuffing beat out of him on a fairly regular basis.

*** One episode of the anime puts Ikuto's status as the [[Butt Monkey]] [[Up to Eleven]].

Line 125:

* [[Cute Little Fang]]: Suzu, but rarely shown, even in "feline" mode.

** Yukino has two.

* [[A Day in ~~The~~ Limelight]]: The current [[Story Arc]] hasn't featured Ikuto at all, at least until the last part.

* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: The current [[Story Arc]] hasn't featured Ikuto at all, at least until the last part.

* [[Death Glare]]: Suzu has a nice one reserved for when people start to hit on Ikuto.

** {{spoiler|Maybe she got it from her [[Generation Xerox|mother]].}}

Line 147:

* [[Dream Land]]: A chapter deals with Machi spying on peoples dreams and we get to see some of these.

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Nagamasa, Chizuru's husband in Karaage's flashback, from whom Machi ''[[Generation Xerox|takes after in appearance]]''.

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Frequent, but most notable would be Shima-tora when he interrupted Tohno's and the East Leader's brawl, by ''knocking them both out'' (temporarily, but still [[~~Crowning~~ Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|awesome]]).

* [[Dynamic Entry]]: Frequent, but most notable would be Shima-tora when he interrupted Tohno's and the East Leader's brawl, by ''knocking them both out'' (temporarily, but still [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|awesome]]).

* [[Eastern Zodiac]]: Yashiro's shikigamis.

* [[Easy Amnesia]]: Chapter 125 reveals that Ikuto's mother developed this after ''she'' fell off a boat (perhaps it runs in the family) and swam towards shore "only to crash into a dolphin." She recovered upon hitting her head again, apparently a few months later.

Line 154:

* [[Empathy Pet]]: Tonkatsu, to an extent.

* [[Epic Fail]]: How else would you describe Ikuto forfeiting a game of shogi to Suzu because he has ''only the'' King ''remaining'' '''and''' Suzu ''wasn't even paying attention?''

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Even the normally-sadistic Machi said that it was "too ''cruel''" for Suzu to {{spoiler|sic a beehive on Genjumaro.}} [[Playing ~~With~~ a Trope|Uh-huh, sure...]]

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Even the normally-sadistic Machi said that it was "too ''cruel''" for Suzu to {{spoiler|sic a beehive on Genjumaro.}} [[Playing with a Trope|Uh-huh, sure...]]

* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Much to Rin's dismay.

* [[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Penguins]]: Though the penguins on the island are rarely given the spotlight. We've got Pen-Pen from Yukino's family, Sumeragi the shaved ice sales-penguin, and Totega-san of the carpenters (yes, he's a penguin).

* [[Everything's Better with Penguins]]: Though the penguins on the island are rarely given the spotlight. We've got Pen-Pen from Yukino's family, Sumeragi the shaved ice sales-penguin, and Totega-san of the carpenters (yes, he's a penguin).

** Pen-Pen did become an [[Ascended Extra]] of sorts during the current [[Story Arc]]. {{spoiler|He solves part of Beniyasha's riddle and...was rewarded by becoming the "sidekick" in the resulting novel.}}

* [[Everyone Can See It]]: Takatora and Suzuran.

Line 182:

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Stories about the girls' parents are nearly the same as the stories about the girls themselves. Just with a few more guys to choose from. This is played hilariously straight with Machi, who is a shorter version of her ''father'' and a [[Palette Swap|black-haired version of her great-grandmother.]]

** According to Chapter 134, Ikuto is very like his father in "leaving home at a young age and finding a woman soon after." Ikuto's mom says she was 16 at the time.

* [[Genie in A Bottle]]: A [[Tastes Like Diabetes|particularly cute one]] debuts in one of the omakes.

* [[Genie in a Bottle]]: A [[Tastes Like Diabetes|particularly cute one]] debuts in one of the omakes.

** [[Literal Genie]]

* [[Genius Ditz]]: For some reason, [[One-Man Army|Suzu]] can easily wipe the floor with everyone on the island - all at once.

Line 203:

* [[Hey, You]]: Michiru is called this by almost everyone on the island, because they don't remember who she is.

** [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: in regards to the [[Retcon]]<ref>simply put, Michiru claiming that she was there when Suzu first brought Ikuto to Obaba's house, yet no one "remembers" her, develops into the [[Running Gag]] above</ref>.

* [[Hey That's My Line]]

* [[Hey, That's My Line!]]

* [[Hidden Badass]]: {{spoiler|Karaage}}, at least to Ikuto.

* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Noticeable whenever anyone is going to, is, or did anything to Suzu/ {{spoiler|Suzuran}}'s love intrest.

Line 209:

* [[Identical Stranger]]/[[Contrived Coincidence]]: Ikuto just happens to resemble {{spoiler|Takatora, Suzu's father?}} ''Right...''

** Also, a [[Youkai]] having the ''exact same appearance'' as Ayane. Think about ''that'' for a while.

** According to Ikuto, Michiru is an [[In Universe]] [[Expy]] of {{spoiler|his little sister, Misaki}}.

** According to Ikuto, Michiru is an [[In-Universe]] [[Expy]] of {{spoiler|his little sister, Misaki}}.

** What's ''more'' bizarre, Misaki mentions two cousins of Ikuto he'd never referred to: they look like Ayane and Machi ... and they're named Ayane and Machi -- but the Ayane in Japan is the elder sister. Physical resemblance is weird enough; matching names is something else again.

* [[Idiot Hair]]: Yukino, [[Lampshaded]] even.

Line 226:

* [[Innocent Innuendo]]: In Chapter 90, Suzu and Shinobu have a discussion about how much fun it would be to ride Ikuto. Sitting on his shoulders like Yukino, of course.

* [[Interspecies Friendship]]: See [[Fluffy Tamer]] above.

* [[Interspecies Romance]]: For their mother's birthday, Shinobu, Mikoto and Kunai decide to give her a grandchild as a present. Which is the person they each chose to "do it" with them? [[Celibate Hero|Ikuto]], [[Even the Girls Want Her|Rin]], and '''[[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Penguins|Totega]]''', respectively. And that wasn't the even ''only'' hint of Kunai's attraction to Totega...

And that wasn't the even ''only'' hint of Kunai's attraction to Totega...

** [[Homosexual Reproduction]]: um, yeah.

{{quote| '''Mikoto''': Rin-neeesamaaaa♥...<br />

Line 236:

* [[Jack of All Stats|Jack Of All Trades,]] [[Master of None]]: Ayane.

* [[Jaw Drop]]: An epic one in chapter 5.

* [[Journey to ~~The~~ Center of ~~The~~ Mind]]: Machi finds/creats a spell that allows her to do into a [[Dream Land|persons dream.]]

* [[Journey to the Center of the Mind]]: Machi finds/creats a spell that allows her to do into a [[Dream Land|persons dream.]]

* [[Kid With the Remote Control]]: Yukino.

* [[Killer Rabbit]]: The South Leader, Shima-tora (cat) and the West Leader, {{spoiler|Karaage, a <s>rooster</s> ''chicken''}}, the latter of which was reputed to be the strongest of the Four Leaders.

Line 245:

** The manga has since [[Retcon|retconned]] her into the very beginning of the story: she is now seen helping treat Ikuto when he first shows up on the island. Her late appearance is explained away as a consequence of being the daughter of a snow woman, a spirit associated with winter. She is immune to cold but sensitive to heat, and thus rarely went outdoors to avoid the sun.

* [[Last of His Kind|Last of Her Kind]]: This is what Tohno believes when she thinks there's no more Kappa on the island. As it turns out, she's not and Ayane and Tohno didn't seem to ask Chizuru of all people due to her hilariously horrific artwork.

* [[Leaning On the Fourth Wall]]: Done time to time, but chapter 65 takes the cake.

* [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall]]: Done time to time, but chapter 65 takes the cake.

** And then there is that tendency of the characters to measure time by the issue number, [[Lampshade Hanging|only to be corrected by another character.]]

** Oba-sama is getting tired of Ikuto not making progress with any girl on the island, even though <s>50 issues</s> 3 months have passed already.

Line 257:

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: One early chapter has Suzu wondering what to wear...[[Lampshade Hanging|and the manga goes out of its way]] to point out that she was choosing between ''two identical clothes''.

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: You've got Ikuto, the main haremettes (about 6-7), side female characters, including most of the girl's [[Hot Mom|mothers]] (another 20-30), and all the talking animals...yeah, [[Captain Obvious|let's just say there are a lot of names to remember.]]

* [[Locked in A Room]]: An interesting variation where its more tied together suspended from a bridge. Ikuto uses this time to find out why Ayane has been avoiding him.

* [[Locked in a Room]]: An interesting variation where its more tied together suspended from a bridge. Ikuto uses this time to find out why Ayane has been avoiding him.

* [[Lost World]]: The titular island.

Line 340:

* [[Ready for Lovemaking]]: Ikuto has had at least Shinobu show up in his bed naked asking him to make a baby with her. Not that she knows what sex is but whatever...

* [[Red Herring]]: Chikage in the first Beniyasha [[Story Arc]].

* [[Remember the New Guy]]: Michiru. [[Lampshaded]] [[Running Gag|repeatedly]].

* [[Remember the New Guy?]]: Michiru. [[Lampshaded]] [[Running Gag|repeatedly]].

* [[Remembered I Could Fly]]: In chapter 112, after babysitting a young bird who could fly, Ikuto notes to Kamokamo since he was a duck, he should be able to fly. Kamokamo replies he forgot.

* [[Rescue Romance]]: is the point when Suzuran acknowledges her [[Tsundere|deeply-hidden]] feelings for Takatora.

Line 348:

* [[The Runaway]]: Ikuto's a Type 2.

* [[Running Gag]]: There are many, but '''one issue alone''' saw two running gags involving Taka-Taka's nephew Piyomaru: the chick's obsession with biting ''anything'' that sparks its interest, and people mistaking that he's Taka-Taka's ''illegitimate child''.

* [[Say It ~~With~~ Hearts]]: Happens frequently, but chapter 8 contains a rather ...humorous example.

* [[Say It with Hearts]]: Happens frequently, but chapter 8 contains a rather ...humorous example.

* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: {{spoiler|Beniyasha.}}

** Tohno as well, since everyone (except possibly Mei Mei) actually mistook her for a man until the mass-[[Baleful Polymorph]] episode.

Line 358:

* [[Secret Test of Character]]: It turns out that {{spoiler|the first Beniyasha [[Story Arc]] is actually a test to see if Ikuto can become the serial prankster's next [[Worthy Opponent]].}}

* [[The Seven Mysteries]]: Airantou has Seven Wonders. Almost all of them seemed to be caused by the aliens though.

* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Apparently, Shinobu doesn't find it strange that her sister Kunai's attracted to Togeta.

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Apparently, Shinobu doesn't find it strange that her sister Kunai's attracted to Togeta.

** It might count as just being teased, but still...Karaage, you trying to imply something? The smirk on your face seems to support the idea anyhow.

{{quote| '''Karaage''': ''Right now, the both of you really [[Like an Old Married Couple|look like a married couple]] arguing over what to do with their son's education.''}}

Line 389:

** And then later, there's {{spoiler|Ayane developing an '''actual''' attraction to Ikuto, which, as Tohno said, was opposed to liking Ikuto ''only because'' he's the lone male on the island.}}

** Actually there is a running time line. Almost all chapters go right from the end of the previous chapter. You could chalk up whatever they are talking about until the new plot picks up as a [[Noodle Incident]], but well that would hurt the story.

* [[Stay in ~~The~~ Kitchen]]: Played around with. Ikuto is probably the weakest person on the island. He eventually starts to continue his kendo training from before his arrival on the island to overcome this fact.

* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: Played around with. Ikuto is probably the weakest person on the island. He eventually starts to continue his kendo training from before his arrival on the island to overcome this fact.

** Played straight with Ikuto's family motto being Protect Woman. Which is why he always is the one to fight, and the one to chase after any girl in trouble. The women of the island act with confusion to the idea, but respect his determination. It works for him in spite of many people being stronger than him because the worst person we have seen so far is [[Dirty Old Man|a lecherous panda.]]

** Michiru wishes for this.

Line 407:

* [[Tenchi Solution]]: Machi once said she considered an affair with another woman to show a man's worth, so she wouldn't mind. Not that he's actually with her though.

** {{spoiler|Rin's father}} advocates this.

* [[Thanks for ~~The~~ Mammary]]: Ikuto.

* [[Thanks for the Mammary]]: Ikuto.

* [[Through His Stomach]]: Most of them do this.

* [[Tomato Surprise]]: Played for laughs with {{spoiler|the West Leader, who never knew that he was a chicken (i.e. couldn't fly) until he was ''6+ years old''. He even had a [[Heroic BSOD]] right afterwards...}}

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tohno and Mei-Mei, apparently.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: After some training, Ikuto can now go toe to toe against the Leaders. [[My Friends and Zoidberg|Oh, and the Panda, too.]] Sure, when he last fought them the battles were non-"traditional", but still...

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: For their mother's birthday, Shinobu, Mikoto and Kunai decide to give her a grandchild as a present. Which is the person they each chose to "do it" with them? [[Celibate Hero|Ikuto]], [[Even the Girls Want Her|Rin]], and '''[[Everything's Better ~~With~~ Penguins|Totega]]''', respectively. At least Shinobu's choice was biologically possible, but there was no way she could pop out a kid by the next day, let alone the fact that she does not know what sex is]], or at least that that's how one makes a baby.

** Apparently it is rather common to not know what sex is and be in the [[Harem]]. Ayane [[Double Standard Rape (Female On Male)|paralyzed him and was going to try and get pregnant]] with his child so that he could not leave the island. She never expected to get [[Butt Monkey|this far]] in her plans anyway.

She never expected to get [[Butt Monkey|this far]] in her plans anyway.

*** This may be [[Justified Trope|justified]] because there were no men on the island up till now so teaching your girls about the birds and bees may have seemed a waste of time. You would think that they would have got a crash course though once Ikuto showed up.

* [[Tough Love]]: Machi really ''does'' care for her little sister Ayane. She just has a...weird way of showing it. She even [[Lampshade Hanging|said so herself]]. While there's good reason to doubt this statement, Machi actually provides a visual example {{spoiler|by giving Ikuto himself an example of her "love".}} [[Fridge Brilliance]], folks.

Line 429:

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Before the West Leader's identity was actually unveiled, it's a [[Running Gag]] for Ikuto to ask about him only for something to happen before he gets his answer. While the readers are clued in on the Leader's identity {{spoiler|by Chapter 28}}, but the [[Running Gag]] for Ikuto stays until the climax of the Scavenger Hunt.

* [[Unwanted Harem]]: The women are determined to have the Ikuto, the only male, to themselves, to an often violent degree.

** [[Cursed ~~With~~ Awesome]]/[[Blessed ~~With~~ Suck]]: Ikuto, like the center of ''some'' [[Harem|harems]], constantly refers to it as both "heaven" ''and'' "hell".

** [[Cursed with Awesome]]/[[Blessed with Suck]]: Ikuto, like the center of ''some'' [[Harem|harems]], constantly refers to it as both "heaven" ''and'' "hell".

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Shinobu's sentences always end in "-degozaru".

** Typical for the anthropomorphic talking cats (and [[Catgirl|Suzu]]), they are prone to make "~nya" sounds when they speak.

Line 438:

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: Kaarage reflects on his "delinquent past" in chapter 76, only for Ituko to tell him that in the outside world, it's ''normal'' for birds to go around and eat people's crops.

* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Why Did It Have To Be Heights, Ghosts, Age, Kappas, Worms, Ane-san...]]

* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: See the [[Nagasarete Airantou ~~(Manga)~~/WMG|page]]. There's more there than you might think from a story with such a simple premise.

* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: See the [[Nagasarete Airantou/WMG|page]]. There's more there than you might think from a story with such a simple premise.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: The Leaders to each other, as the flashback [[Story Arc]] shows. Although, the North sometimes holds contempt for the East, while seeing some potential in Ikuto himself.

* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]: Obaba. No, ''really.''

** [[Never Mess ~~With~~ Granny]]

** [[Never Mess with Granny]]

* [[Yamato Nadeshiko]]: Played with. Suzu tells Ikuto that her mother is this, but Karaage, who knows better, says that it is all a facade because Suzuran hopes that Suzu would not take after her.

* [[Yandere]]: Suzu arguably fits this trope the best and has yet to even realize why she fits it so well.
