How many [[Slice of Life]] shows feature [[Special Guest]] appearances by Egyptian gods?
''[[Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru]]''
{{tropelist}}
* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]
* [[All Love Is Unrequited]]
▲* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]] -- Eri, there are nicer ways to let Takeru know that you don't want him to call you Ebi.
▲* [[Adaptation Expansion]] -- The way the manga chapters are re-arranged in the TV series makes it to be told in [[Anachronic Order]]. On the other hand, some chapters have slightly changed endings or added sequences.
▲* [[All Love Is Unrequited]] -- Nothing serious and romance isn't exactly the most important thing in the series but at the moment it seems to be as follows: Toshiko has a crush on Hiroyuki, who has a longstanding crush on his childhood friend Hotori, who seems to have a thing for their homeroom math teacher Mr. Moriaki, who frowns on the idea of a student/teacher relationship as immoral (and who would probably shoot himself if he had to deal with Hotori for the rest of his life). Takeru and Eri may be the only exception.
▲* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]] -- Hotori's little brother and sister, Takeru and Yukiko.
* [[Art Shift]]
** With [[Studio Shaft]] at the works, this is aplenty.
** ''Murder on Jelly Island''
* [[Artificial Riverbank]]
* [[Asexual]]
** Moriaki's concept on love is (Man + Woman) / Morality = 0.
** Well, that's his formula for teacher/student relationships. He's a ''π'' type.
* [[Bathtub Bonding]]
* [[Batman Gambit]]
* [[Battle Aura]]
* [[Beach Episode]]
* [[Beautiful Dreamer]]
* [[Bifauxnen]]
* [[Big Brother Instinct|Big Sister Instinct]]
* [[Bland-Name Product]] -- <s>Puma</s>Capybara sport gear, <s>Seiko</s>Sekoi clocks, <s>Lipovitan</s>Napovitan energy drink, <s>Google</s>Gogol. Averted with the Montblanc fountain pen.
* [[Boke and Tsukkomi Routine]]
* [[Book Dumb]]
* [[Brain Bleach]]
* [[Brats with Slingshots]]
* [[Brick Joke]]
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]
* [[Celestial Bureaucracy]]
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]
* [[Cosplay Cafe]]: The series is set in a [[Maid Cafe]].
* [[Crossover Cosmology]] -- ''[[Egyptian Mythology|Anubis]]'' makes a special guest appearance in Episode 12.
Line 50 ⟶ 48:
** Hotori confusing a scanner with ''[[Scanners]]''.
** Kon was apparently a Sith Lord of Ping Pong in middle school.
* [[Cute Little Fang]]
* [[Dancing Theme]]
** [[Real Song Theme Tune]]
*** [[Theme Tune Cameo]]
** The ending theme also has the girls performing on their instruments. There is something just so ''right'' about Hotori rocking out on the accordion.
* [[Death Glare]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
** Hotori is a unique version of this as she shifts between [[Genki Girl]] and this.
** [[World of Snark|Everyone]] is a [[Deadpan Snarker]] in this show. Well, everyone but Moriaki-sensei, who is a particularly square [[Comically Serious]].
* [[Discussed Trope]]
* [[Dojikko]]
* [[Doomed New Clothes]] -- {{spoiler|Episode 11.}}
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]
* [[Eureka Moment]] -- [[It Makes Sense in Context|Wait! What if you think of it as more than a painting...?]]
* [[Everybody Hates Mathematics]]
* [[Expy]]
** Hotori shares a lot with [[Azumanga Daioh|Tomo]], with a dash of [[Cloudcuckoolander|Osaka]]. And looks like ''[[Yotsuba&!]]'''s Fuuka. Add to this a teacher that looks like a long-haired Kimura with his mouth shut and the occasional use of very familiar face expressions and it seems like someone is a fan of Kiyohiko Azuma.
** Also Toshiko looks like Yomi.
* [[The Faceless]]
* [[False Camera Effects]] -- [[Fish Eye Lens]] and [[Lens Flare]] being the most common ones.
* [[Fan Service with a Smile]]
{{quote|'''Toshiko''': Luring men with the illusion of gentleness, and taking their money. Such is the way of ''meidojutsu''!}}
* [[Five Man Band Concert|Four Meido Band Concert]]
** The ED. Part [[Image Song]], part [[Heavy Meta]], all... [[wikipedia:Enka|''Enka'']] rock???
** Also in Episode 8, with the B-Side of the ED song single, which has more of a celtic rock feel.
* [[Flat What]]
* [[First-Name Basis]] -- <s>Ebi</s>Eri switches to this during the [[Not a Date]], and wants Takeru to do the same (see above).
* [[Foil]]
* [[Foot Focus]]
** There is one case, when Hotori jolted in frustration after her Moriaki-sensei [[Daydream Surprise]].
** There's another blatant case in the same episode by Toshiko. And yet another by Kon in Episode 6. Low-angle shots are pretty common in this show and they are usually taken ''below'' the ground.
* [[Funny Background Event]]
* [[Gag Series]]
* [[Gainaxing]]
{{quote|"They were like Water Balloons"}}
* [[Genius Ditz]]
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Giving Radio to the Romans]] -- {{spoiler|As part of a peculiar [[Compound Interest Time Travel Gambit]]. The snack proved too hard to be reproduced by regular current day cooking, but obviously someone managed to do it before 2310.}}
* [[Gonk]]
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]
* [[Go Into the Light]]
* [[Greek Chorus]]
* [[Groin Attack]]
* [[Hanging Our Clothes to Dry]]
* [[Heavy Meta]]
* [[Hot for Teacher]]
** Ever since Moriaki-sensei lectured Hotori at the Seaside Maid Cafe, Hotori has been [[Lampshade Hanging|hinted]] to be thinking of Moriaki-sensei.
** And she hasn't been the first one. Alas, [[Asexual|(Man + Woman) / Morality = 0]].
** It doesn't help that he's the math teacher and Hotori thinks [[Everybody Hates Mathematics|math is useless]].
* [[Idiots Cannot Catch Colds]]
* [[In-Series Nickname]]
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]
** Hotori attemts to replace "maido!" ([[Kansai Dialect|Osakan]] for "thank you!") with "[[meido]]". Toshiko and the Head Maid aren't amused.
Line 107 ⟶ 105:
** In chapter 9 of the manga, Hotori's answers on Moriaki-sensei's math test are so incredibly awful or nonsensical that he gets physically and mentally ill just from reading them.
** 1 = 0
* [[Joshikousei]]
* [[Kansai Dialect]]
* [[Leave No Witnesses]]
* [[Lens Flare Censor]]
* [[Logic Bomb]]
* [[Magic Skirt]]
** Surprisingly for such a [[Meido|fanservice-heavy genre]], upskirt shots are obscured by darkness or random happenstance. The anime walks the very fine line of titillation, leaving anatomy lessons for other shows. Let's just say [[Rule of Funny|it's all about the laughs]].
** Also, see Kon in the picture above.
* [[Mad Mathematician]]
* [[Malaproper]]
* [[Meddlesome Patrolman]] -- Matsuda, the stressed neighbourhood cop.
* [[Meganekko]] -- Toshiko.
Line 135 ⟶ 133:

** Sanada calling his teammate Donkey Kong.
* [[Nobody Here but Us Statues]] -- Only works on people with strong [[Weirdness Censor
* [[Not a Date]] -- Takeru is not on a date with Eri. No one believes it.
* [[Not-So-Great Escape]] -- Takeru narrowly avoids social death at the candy shop.
Line 143 ⟶ 141:
* [[Our Angels Are Different]] -- {{spoiler|Japan's [[Mundane Afterlife]] employs kids and teens to do the job.}}
* [[Parasol of Prettiness]] -- {{spoiler|Haribara is behind it.}}
* [[Pastel-Chalked Freeze-Frame]] -- Of a [[
* [[Pick on Someone Your Own Size]] -- Hotori is Moriaki-sensei's "second natural enemy".
* [[Porn Stash]]
* [[Rain, Rain, Go Away]]
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]
* [[Repeat Cut]]
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]
* [[Right in Front of Me]] -- ...is a female sempai.
* [[School Festival]]
* [[Sempai-Kohai]]
* [[Serious Business]]
** Toshiko thinks being a maid waitress is something not to be taken lightly. ''Meidojutsu''. And just watch her playing the violin in the ED.
Line 166 ⟶ 164:
** "Help me, Muriyaki-sensei!" comes from a little known show about psychic powers called ''Night Head Genesis''.
** ''[[Detective Conan|Meitantei Yukiko]]''
** [[
** [[Aliens|They're coming outta the goddamn walls!]]
** "Buyoujin! Buyoujin! Buyoujin! Jin! Jijin! Jin! Lets go!" from the ''Ori Raji'' comedy duo

* [[Two Shorts]]
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]
* [[Unusual Euphemism]] -- {{smallcaps| LUTHEEEER!!!! CSAAARRR!!!!!!}}
* [[Verbal Tic]],
* [[Wardrobe Malfunction]]
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]:
** Toshiko has a knack for making anything into a [[Melodrama]], from a teacher quoting school rules being set up as a psychic assault to merely stepping into the Seaside Cafe for the first time. But so does Hotori, and Moriaki-sensei...
** The ping pong rematch between Haribara and Tatsuno...
* [[World of Snark]]
* [[A Worldwide Punomenon]]
* [[Yonkoma]]
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]
