Shiro no Eden: Difference between revisions

* [[Malicious Slander]]: Mashiro's stepfather wants Mashiro to improve in her cram school tests because it's embarrassing since she's the daughter of a principal of said cram school, and Mashiro's mother hears about Mashiro walking home at night with an older man (Ai) the other night and is ashamed in fear if their neighbors find out.

* [[Meaningful Echo]]: In Chapter 3, after returning home, Mashiro apologizes to Shuuto for having to look for her. Shuuto [[Blatant Lies|denies]] that he was looking for her, which leads Mashiro to be is convinced that Shuuto hates her when he really doesn't and [[Tsundere|merely doesn't know how to express himself well]], while Shuuto gets so worked up over getting easily frustrated when it concerns Mashiro that ''he'' hates when he's like that.

'''Mashiro:''' [''enters her room''] ''I know that Brother hates me, but still... Surely, he's like the others who can't help but dislike me...'' I can't even apologize properly. How stupid... }}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: ''Shiro no Eden'' means "Winter Eden." Mashiro also means "white."

* [[Nice Guy]]: On the surface, Ai appears as this. However, there's [[Subverted Trope|really]] [[Beneath the Mask|more to him]] than meets the eye.

* [[Not Blood Siblings]]: Step-siblings Shuuto and Mashiro. Shuuto's overprotective nature towards Mashiro and hostility towards Ai is implied to be because {{spoiler|''he'' has feelings for Mashiro}}, which is later called out by Ai.

* [[Not So Different]]:

** Mashiro's attraction to the amiable and carefree Ai appears to be a case of [[Opposites Attract]], but she soon realizes [[Birds of a Feather|that Ai is lonely too]]. {{spoiler|It also turns out that they both have issues due to their mothers telling them to be "good kids." Ironically enough, they share the same mother.}}

* [[Tsundere]]: Both Misawa and ''especially'' Shuuto towards Mashiro.

** In Chapter 3:

'''Shuuto:''' That was... It's nothing. I wasn't worried about you! [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Just now, I was just taking a walk! I wasn't searching for you!]] Don't misunderstand! }}

** And again in Chapter 5:

'''Shuuto:''' You're wrong! [[Blatant Lies|I was just about to go to the book store!]]<br />

'''Ai:''' [''notices Shuuto chose the wrong sandals while rushing''] But those are health sandles. Ladies' sandals too.<br />
