* [[All According to Plan]]: Marika uses this so often that Raku [[Lampshade Hanging|invokes it word-for-word]] after she'd kidnapped him to a tropical resort and '''then''' their small boat sank:

{{quote|'''Raku''': And I'll ask just to be sure, but ... '''"This was all according to plan"''' isn't going to be the next thing out of your mouth, right?

'''Marika''' (smiling): My, Raku-sama. What kind of idiot would plan for us to be stranded together on an uninhabited island? Kya♥

'''Raku''': I asked you because I had a feeling that an idiot was standing right in front of me. <small>You kidnapper.</small>}}

* [[Bromantic Foil]]: Shuu Maiko, Raku's best friend. Half the time he meddles to help Raku. Other half- because he thinks it's funny.

* [[Bifauxnen]]: {{spoiler|Tsugumi.}}

* [[Cat Smile]]: Practically Shuu's default expression.

* [[Censor Steam]]: Used repeatedly in Chapter 23.

* [[Childhood Marriage Promise]]: One of most important plot points is that Raku made one with girl he knew ten years before the start of the series. Unfortunately he doesn't remember her name or face. His only lead is ~~fact~~ that she has key to lock in his pendant.

** It is revealed early on that {{spoiler|Kosaki Onodera}} has a key from a {{spoiler|childhood promise she made}} but seems unsure about.

** Later we find that {{spoiler|Chitoge}} also made a promise with a {{spoiler|boy}} whom {{spoiler|she}} can't recall. In fact it's strongly implied {{spoiler|that they made the promise with each other.}}

* [[Class Is in Room X-01]]: Despite [[Cliché Storm|how generic many of this series' other elements are]], it averts this. The class the main cast is in is 1-C.

* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: From the start, Ruri has despised Shuu. Then in Chapter 128 she admits to herself that she feels "like something is getting caught in my chest" when he ''leaves her name out'' of the long list of girls he "loves."

* [[Fan Service]]: Kept at very low level considering the genre... until the [[Up to Eleven|2 part]] [[Hot Springs Episode|Hot Springs Chapter]] that is.

* [[First-Name Basis]]: {{spoiler|Chitoge}} decides that she and Raku should call each other by their first names after he saves her in the forest.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: Shuu Maiko and Ruri Miyamoto

* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|Gratuitous Polish]]: The childhood promise Raku recalls includes a Polish word -- "Zawsze," meaning "forever," "eternally," "always," something like that -- despite none of the characters being identified as Polish.

* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|Gratuitous Polish]]: The childhood promise Raku {{spoiler|and Chitoge}} recalls includes a Polish word -- "Zawsze," meaning "forever," "eternally," "always," something like that -- despite none of the characters being identified as Polish.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: [[The Stoic|Ruri]] has a very emotional moment when she tearfully tells her great-grandfather of all the friends she's developed -- Kosaki, Chitoge, Seishirou, Marika (sort of), Raku ... she even includes Shuu, "I guess." Listening outside the door, Shuu shows an uncharacteristically gentle smile....

* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]

* [[Real Men Cook]]: Raku is an excellent cook- having to take care of his Yakuza family turned out to be a good training.

* [[Real Men Cook]]: Raku is an excellent cook -- having to take care of his Yakuza family turned out to be a good training.

** The girls, on the other hand, are [[Lethal Chef|lethal chefs]].

* [[Memento MacGuffin]]: The pendant Raku carries is not only a memento of his first love but also the only clue he has of her identity.

** Later {{spoiler|Seishiro Tsugumi}}

*** And still later, {{spoiler|Marika Tachibana}}

*** '''And''' {{spoiler|Paula McCoy}}

* [[Not So Different]]: At first Chitoge and Raku seem to be polar opposites, but eventually they find out that they have surpassingly similar experiences as heirs of crime syndicates.

* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Dear gods, there are so '''many'''. Ruri in particular '''physically shoves''' Kosaki together with Raku ("Oh centrifugal force! Can't help it!"), and has more than once told Kosaki to [[Rape Is Okay When It Is Female On Male|"rape" him]]. Claude is about the only member of the criminal gangs who '''doesn't''' support Raku-Chitoge.

* [[Troperiffic]]: Think of a [[Romantic Comedy]] trope. There's good chance that it applies.

* [[Tsundere]]: Ruri has a bit of this, but only toward Shuu. On one occasion, after he'd loudly admired the other girls' appearance but was more casual about hers, [[Megaton Punch|she hit him]] with what the narrative text called an "I-don't-really-care-but-I'm-still-kind-of-pissed-off-punch."
