Line 6:
After the mess, Teppei meets with his grandfather Isshin Arima. It turns out Teppei's mother Kanae is Isshin's daugther, the next successor to the almighty [[Mega Corp|Arima Financial Combine]], and wants to prepare his grandson as his successor, considering him an excellent young man. Therefore, Teppei has his surname changed to "Arima", starts to live in one of the Arima mansions, and attends "Shuuhou Academy", the most elite highschool in the nation, in order to facilitate his debut into high society. The first person he finds out also attending the academy is the same beautiful girl he helped before, Charlotte Hazelrink, crown princess of the European Kingdom of Hazelrink. Over the course of the series, Teppei's joined by Sylvie van Hossen, the daughter of nobleman Vincent van Hossen of the Flemish Principality, Seika Houjouin, the daughter of the rival Houjouin Corporation and Yuu Fujikura, a maid assigned by Isshin to be Teppei's caretaker and counsel.
 
Based on a successful PC [[Eroge]] [[Visual Novel]] released in 2008 by RICOTTA, '''''Princess Lover!''''' got a [[Twelve-Episode Anime]] adaptation in the summer of 2009, with its own series of [[Light Novels]], [[Comic Book Adaptation|manga adaptations]] and a "[[Bleached Underpants|clean]]" [[Updated Rerelease]] for the [[Play StationPlayStation 2]]. An [[Hentai|H]]-[[OVA]], released in September 2010, re-tells the story, with the intent of averting the [[Bleached Underpants]] of the TV anime.
----
Tropes in ''Princess Lover!'' include:
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Pervert]] - Teppei believes he has the power to invoke this and not get the usual barrage of [[Megaton Punch|Megaton Punches]] and [[Armor-Piercing Slap|Armor Piercing Slaps]]. He's dead wrong, as the [[Hot Springs Episode]] illustrates.
* [[The Anime of the Game]]
Line 15 ⟶ 14:
** You can also count {{spoiler|Charlotte and Haltman Bezelheim}}.
* [[Art Shift]] - During the [[Hot Springs Episode]], Teppei inspires confidence in his male roommates of his skills as the "Lucky Pervert".
* [[Ascended Extra]] - Ayano Kaneko, one of [[Those Two Girls]], is promoted to a heroine with her own route in the [[Play StationPlayStation 2]] release.
* [[Best Served Cold]] - Teppei believes his parents' death was intentional; Isshin agrees. One of the objectives for enrolling Teppei in a high-class academy is to help him acquire allies whose influence he can use in finding out the truth, so he has a lot of time before he can exact revenge on the perpetrator(s).
** Semi-subverted: Isshin does state exacting vengeance on the murderer(s) will only lead to the cycle repeating against Teppei, while adding it's perhaps not what his mother would want. The final episode ultimately subverts it: Teppei does discover the identity of the murderer, but spares the villain's life.
Line 27 ⟶ 26:
* [[Bromantic Foil]] - Haruhiko Nezu
* [[Butt Monkey]] - Nezu, oh so much. Poor dude gets [[Punched Across the Room]] so many times, but [[Iron Butt Monkey|he survives]].
* [[CannotCan't StandLive with Them, CannotCan't Live Without Them]] - Seika towards Teppei, who initially looks down on him as an unwanted newcomer to the student body, with a [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!]] attitude, yet she can't understand why she "can't get him out of [her] head". Eventually, her dislike of him stems from {{spoiler|bad history between their two families. Once Teppei resolves the feud}}, Seika loosens up due to his continued efforts, especially during and after her clothing exhibition.
* [[Catch Phrase]] - Sylvie's "How shameless!" and Nezu's "Nyoge"
* [[Censor Steam]] - Upskirt angles and nude shots have shadows covering the naughty bits in the TV anime. In the [[Hot Springs Episode]], the shadows are replaced with steam (obviously).
Line 75 ⟶ 74:
* [[Rapunzel Hair]] - Charlotte, Seika when she lets her hair down, also, and even some of the minor female characters in the series have waist-length hair.
* [[Redemption in the Rain]] - In episode 10 of the anime, when the main cast minus Charlotte learn that she's been abducted from under their nose, Teppei walks out from the overhang, and it begins raining immediately. The episode title happens to translate to ''Loss and Rebirth.''
* [[Rescue Arc]] - Teppei rescues Charlotte at the beginning of the series, but the straighter exmaple takes place when he and the girls (forming a semi-[[Improbably-Fundamentally Female Cast]] / [[Amazon Brigade]]) heads off to rescue {{spoiler|Charlotte from terrorists plotting to discredit Isshin and Vincent's financial empires, lead by Charlotte's fiancé Haltman, who faked his own death by his secretary Josephine}}.
* [[Say My Name]] - Charlotte tearfully calls out for Teppei while she's bound in a locked hotel room, hearing him as he does the same.
* [[Sexy Discretion Shot]] - In the TV anime, Charlotte is ''very'' grateful to Teppei {{spoiler|rescuing her from Haltman}} and shows her appreciation in a... very un-ladylike fashion. The audience doesn't see what happens, but her lines and Sylvie's reaction to the display of affection tells the whole story.
