Line 41:
* [[Emotionless Girl]] -- Somewhere between this and [[Deadpan Snarker]] for Yaotome, only she never drops the deadpan.
* [[Everyone Can See It]] -- About the only people who don't assume Maki and Aikawa are somehow involved with each other are those who think they look perfect together anyway. Especially the [[Yaoi Fangirl]].
* [[Fridge Logic]] -- Invoked in the following conversation.
{{quote|''(Aikawa washes his hands in the boys' room. Maki watches.)''
'''Maki''': You know, just looking at you walk out the cubicle gives me the heebie-jibbies.
Line 66:
* [[Last-Name Basis]] -- Maki never refers to anyone by their given name unless pushed to, and then goes right back to using surnames afterward. Understandable with most of the cast given he only just met them at the start of the school year, but more noticeable with Shion and Kana, who were classmates and friends of his in middle school. Meanwhile, even the other guys (who mostly stick to surnames as well) call Maki by his given name.
* [[Mask Power]] -- Maki dons a fox mask and becomes the legendary hero... "[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Fox Mask]]"... [[Rescue Romance|to drive off some guys bothering Aikawa]].
* [[MotifsMotif]] -- Aikawa has one for peaches, cherries, and plums. Which are of the [[Meaningful Name|genus]] [[Fridge Brilliance|Prunus]].
* [[Necktie Leash]] -- [http://www.mangareader.net/439-37678-6/prunus-girl/chapter-8.html Shion's tugging on Maki's necktie.]
* [[Not a Date]] -- Aikawa encountered a suitor, and in a panic said he had a boyfriend. So he goes on a date with Maki to throw the guy off. Maki comments that their "date" is basically what they do normally, but from the suitor's perspective they act like the ''perfect'' loving couple. {{spoiler|And after he finally leaves, Maki and Aikawa ''continue'' their "date".}}
Line 72:
** The two face a Round Two in Chapter 18 when student council chairperson Yaotome barges in what looks like a makeout session between the two of them (it's one-sided, as usual) on the rooftop which is supposedly out-of-bounds.
** And again in a bonus chapter after chapter 32 when, {{spoiler|dressed up as a vampire for Halloween, Aikawa "bites" Maki's neck and leaves a hickey which lasts through the next day, and everyone notices}}. Kadoyama in particular leaps once more to conclusions about [[This and That]].
* [[Off-Model]] -- possibly due to the 2011 Earthquake in Japan, chapter 22 is quite literally half-finished, with a majority of the pages not fully inked in.
* [[Only One Name]] -- Maki's surname has still never been revealed. Everyone just calls him by his given name, even just after first meeting him, though [[Last-Name Basis|he only ever uses people's surnames]]. Even his doorplate has only been shown with his given name on it, despite other doorplates having surnames.
* [[Pocky]] [[Spaghetti Kiss|Kiss]] -- Aikawa tried this on poor Maki. Luckily for him, she let him off the hook.
Line 94:
* [[The Tease]] -- Aikawa loves being coy around Maki.
* [[The Un-Reveal]] -- Aikawa's "pretty unusual for a guy" issue regarding unwanted body hair.
{{quote|'''Maki''': [[Too Much Information|I didn't need to hear that!]]
''(That night, Maki had a nightmare.)'' }}
** A later chapter does reveal this, in passing; {{spoiler|"Is that why there's no hair down there?"}}
