Princess Lover: Difference between revisions

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.

 

 

* [[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]]

** 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".

* [[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.

* [[Bleached Underpants]] - Played straight with the TV series, subverted with the OVAs.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] - Nezu talking to the viewers in the [[Hot Springs Episode]]. Lampshaded by Teppei:

''Seika: If you dare say such things in front of the camera, just you see how I'll destroy your future!'' }}

* [[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]].

* [[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).

** Lampshaded in the picture drama as black holes.

* [[Chainsaw Good]] - Charlotte briefly gets to use one during the Arima Hills lockdown. Teppei nearly believes she [[Hammerspace|pulls it out from nowhere]], but was actually taken from a broken store window nearby.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]] - {{spoiler|That second motorcycle the Arima Group engineers made for Teppei? Yes, the one with 4 legs, that [[Eldritch Abomination|abomination]]}}? Trust us: it's more useful than it looks.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]] - Charlotte, but not when it comes down to love, though. Debatably, too, she's a bonafide example.

** Due to Sylvie's striking resemblance (both physical and personality-wise) to Saber, many fans go so far as to [[Fan Nickname|call her by that name]].

* [[First Girl Wins]] - Charlotte, if the player so chooses in the visual novel.

* [[Girlish Pigtails]] - Seika's very prominent hairstyle, apparently part of her [[Tsundere]] image. She does [[Letting Her Hair Down|let her hair down]], occassionally.

* [[Girly Run]] - Charlotte

** [[Norio Wakamoto|Isshin]] is [[Code Geass|Charles zi Britannia]]

** [[Emiri Katou|Seika]] is [[Lucky Star|Kagami Hiiragi]]

** [[Minoru Shiraishi|Haruhiko]] is [[Lucky Star|Minoru Shiraishi]]

** [[Takehito Koyasu|Vincent van Hossen]] is [[Tales of the Abyss|Jade Curtiss]] and [[Man of a Thousand Voices|everybody else]]

*** [[The Other Darrin|Darrin'd]] by [[Akira Ishida|Athrun]] [[Gundam Seed|Zala]] in the OVA

** [[Megumi Toyoguchi|Sylvie]] is [[Black Lagoon|Revy]] and [[Pokémon|Dawn]]

* [[Hot Springs Episode]] - Filled with A LOT of [[Lampshade Hanging]] and hilarious [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|fourth wall destruction]].

* [[Iaijutsu Practitioner]] - Teppei; apparently, knowing [[Kendo]] makes you an instant expert at it.

* {{spoiler|[[No Pregger Sex]]}} - Averted in the visual novel: {{spoiler|Teppei manages to get Yuu pregnant before the end of her route, while Charlotte is carrying sometime during her story. Since there's a requisite number of love scenes per character...}}

* [[Not What It Looks Like]] - Sylvie decides to greet her fiance at school, as propriety demands. She walks in on Teppei bent over her childhood friend as she's sprawled on top of a desk.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[Techno Babble]] - Seriously, DNA-based computer viruses?

** This is taken directly from the 2007 ''Transformers'' Film by [[Michael Bay]].

* [[The Stoic]] - Sylvie

* [[Tsundere]] - Seika, a Type B example.

* [[Wire Dilemma]] - Solved via {{spoiler|Sylvie choosing the wire to cut according to her panties' color}}.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]] - Get your checklist out and start ticking: Seika wears a mini-skirt? Check; Thigh-highed stockings? Check; Hair stylized to twin ponytails? ''Double check''; The attitude of a tsundere? '''Triple check'''. That's right, folks: we've got ourselves a Grade-S example, right here!
