Line 26:
* [[Childhood Marriage Promise]]: One of the most important plot points is that Raku made one with a girl he knew ten years before the start of the series. Unfortunately he doesn't remember her name or face. His only lead is that she has the key to the lock in his pendant.
** It's 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
*** As of Chapter 27, {{spoiler|Onodera claims to be the promised girl, when asked by Raku}}.
** In Chapter 118, {{Spoiler|Yui Kanakura}} shows up, and she has a key, too, although she denies knowing anything about promises.
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]/[[Samaritan Syndrome]]: Kosaki and Shuu both say Raku feels a compulsion to help others; "he can't leave people alone if they're in trouble." Shuu particularly mentions an incident when Raku moved with incredible speed to save a woman who was about to fall down a flight of steps.
* [[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.
Line 39 ⟶ 40:
* [[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.
* [[Forgotten First Meeting]]: Ten years before the main action starts, Raku, Chitoge, Kosaki, and Marika all knew each other, as reported by the just-slightly-older Yui. (Tsugumi and Haru were there, too.) Chitoge and Kosaki are delighted to learn that they were "inseparable" friends back then -- it helps explain why they became such close friends so quickly in the present. But none of them except Marika seems to have recalled that time in more than the fuzziest way, which is why Raku isn't sure what the childhood promise was about or with whom.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Shuu Maiko and Ruri Miyamoto
* [[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.
Line 44 ⟶ 46:
** Shuu also admits, much later, that he admires Raku for his Samaritan Syndrome and wants to be more like him.
* [[I Didn't Mean to Turn You On]]: Haru is struggling against the crush she has on Raku. Then, as she and her friend Fuu drop by Raku's place, it comes out that she has a particular liking for traditionally Japanese themes -- such as his house's architecture. And just after that's mentioned, Raku comes to the door ... in the yukata which, he explains, he typically wears at home. She doesn't '''quite''' develop a [[Nosebleed]].
* [[I Never Said It Was Poison|I Never Said It Was Vanilla]]: Haru reminisces about a guy whose face she never saw (he was wearing a teddy bear costume as part of a [[School Festival]]) who, when she got lost at the festival, bought her ice cream and helped her find Kosaki.
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]
* [[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.
