Line 24:
* [[Attention Whore]] - Liliath is one of these.
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] - Played straight in the OVA, but sometimes averted in the manga.
* [[Beautiful All Along]] - Patricia, although she really [[Hollywood Homely|wasn't all that unattractive to begin with]].
* [[Berserk Button]] - Don't call someone 'dirty' when [[Son of a Whore|Serge]] can hear you.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]] - Serge can have quite a temper, and may God help you if you hit his abovementioned [[Berserk Button]].
* [[Bi the Way]] - Serge, [[If It's You It's Okay|probably]]. Jules, more clearly.
* [[Big Fancy House]] - The chateau 'Cherubin de la Mer' and the Battour estate.
* [[Bishie Sparkle]] - Gilbert has a pretty serious case of this.
* [[Bishonen]] - A good portion of the cast, but Gilbert and Rosemarine deserve special mention.
Line 34:
* [[Boarding School]]
* [[Book Dumb]] - Gilbert is easily more intelligent than most of the boys in his class, yet has little, if any, academic merit to speak of (although this may simply be because he [[Brilliant but Lazy|just doesn't care]]).
** Possibly subverted with Pascal, who has proven to be more than capable of doing well in classes, but has failed three years in a row because he prefers to spend his time studying more useful/interesting things (like knitting).
* [[Book Ends]] - The titular 'poem' (see page quote) appears as both an opening and closing monologue.
* [[Boys Love]] - Quite possibly the [[Trope Codifier]], for manga, anyway. (A lot of the core BL tropes were put in place by [[wikipedia:Mori Mari|Mari Mori]]'s "aesthetic" novels of the 1960's.)
* [[Break the Cutie]] - Gilbert, although he was already [[Dark and Troubled Past|pretty broken to begin with]]. Serge, too, but to a lesser extent; he does go through some horrible things, but he also tends to be more resilient.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]] - This is Pascal in a nutshell.
* [[Broken Bird]] - Gilbert could probably count as one of those rare male examples. For comparison, have a look at another male example, Souma in the manga series ''[[Sakura Gari]]'', which has a lot of similarities in style with ''KazeKi'', with both Souma and Gilbert having very similar backstories and behaviour (i.e. rape, trauma, death, and a ''lot'' of [[Break the Cutie]]).
* {{spoiler|[[Bury Your Gays]]/ [[Death by Sex]] - Poor Gilbert didn't have a chance, did he?}}
* [[But I Would Really Enjoy It]] - Serge towards {{spoiler|Patricia}}, it seems.
Line 73:
* [[Freudian Excuse]] - Auguste is ''seriously'' messed up in the head {{spoiler|no thanks to his much-older stepbrother}}.
* [[Friendship Moment]] - About 90% of Jules and Gilbert's interactions, especially in earlier volumes.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]] - Gilbert was like this as a small child; he was once seriously injured trying to save a fox from a group of hunting dogs.
* [[Gayngst]] - Karl has a fair bit of this towards the beginning. Generally avoided with the protagonists, though (possibly because they're too busy having every other type of angst known to man)
* [[The Glasses Gotta Go]] - Patricia. Serge speculates that she [[Purely Aesthetic Glasses|never really needed them in the first place]].
Line 85:
* [[Heel Face Turn]] - Rosemarine.
* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] / [[The Not Love Interest]] - Arguably Rosemarine and Jules, although they very well might be attracted to each other.
* [[High
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]] - Leo.
* [[Hot Gypsy Woman]] - Camille, {{spoiler|Serge and Gilbert's neighbour from the last two volumes}}. Technically Paiva, although she doesn't really fit the overall character type.
* [[Ill Boy]] - Aslan.
* [[Impoverished Patrician]] - Jules de Ferrier.
* [[Incurable Cough of Death]] - Serge's father died of [[Victorian Novel Disease|tuberculosis]].
* [[Internal Monologue]] - Lots of these.
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]] - Gilbert (jeel-behr), among others. [[Justified Trope|To be expected]] since most, if not all, of the cast is French.
* [[Kaneto Shiozawa]] - The voice of Auguste in the OVA.
* [[Kick the Dog]] - Pretty much everything Auguste does, and then some.
Line 103:
* [[Love Martyr]] - Gilbert. He is clearly completely aware of the fact that Auguste goes out of his way to manipulate and hurt him, yet he is completely devoted to him anyway.
* [[Love Hurts]] - So very, ''very'' much.
* [[Wife Husbandry|Lover Husbandry]] - what Auguste does to Gilbert as a child comes very close to this, manipulating, torturing and warping his mind so he'll be absolutely devoted to him, "his puppet" as he calls him. The only difference is that the "lover" part seems to have been initially unintentional, and that [[Shotacon|Auguste didn't wait until he was an adult]]... or [[Rape Is Love|wait until he was even 10 years old]]. There's a lot of [[Squick]] in their relationship, to say the least.
* [[Lewd Lust, Chaste Sex]] - While makeout scenes are drawn in great detail, (consensual) sex is all either highly symbolic or fade-to-black. {{spoiler|Interestingly, rape scenes tend to also be more explicit, presumably so they may [[Fan Disservice|thoroughly traumatize readers]].}}
* [[Manipulative Bastard]] - Auguste, Rosemarine, Gilbert. In that order.
Line 109:
* [[Melodrama]] - It's a shoujo manga from the 1970s set in Europe in the 1880s. Were you ''really'' expecting anything else?
* {{spoiler|[[The Mourning After]]}}
* [[New Transfer Student]] - Serge.
* [[Noriko Ohara]] - The voice of Serge in the OVA.
* [[Odd Friendship]] - Deeply religious, straight-laced, hard working honour student Karl and rebellious, eccentric, [[Brilliant but Lazy]] atheist Pascal. Serge strikes something of a balance between the two, but they were friends before they met him.
* [[The Ojou]] - Angeline.
* [[One-Gender School]]
Line 122:
* [[Purple Eyes]] - Rosemarine.
* [[Really Gets Around]] - Gilbert. Clearly established on the ''first page''.
* [[Race For Your Love]]
* [[Rape and Switch]] - {{spoiler|Gilbert and Auguste. The former was raped first by Bonnard and then by his own father-posing-as-uncle when he was nine, and the latter was raped by his stepbrother at a young age.}}
* [[Rape Leads to Insanity]]: {{spoiler|Gilbert and Auguste}}, which is related to the [[Rape and Switch]] trope above. Needless to say, these incidents are the reason how the two guys became so screwed up, especially Gilbert.
Line 128:
* [[Rescue Sex]] - {{spoiler|Jules and Gilbert.}}
* [[Romantic Runner-Up]] - Patricia.
* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]] - Ususally justified by the setting, although not always (for example, characters are often shown in other clothes in the dorms, suggesting they're not mandatory outside of school hours, yet Serge and Gilbert still wore theirs for most of the summer vacation).
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]] - Seemingly the only reason Gilbert hasn't been expelled despite the fact that he rarely goes to classes and engages in a lot of very un-catholic activities with other students.
* [[Shout-Out]]
** Serge's father was named Aslan, almost certainly in reference to ''[[The Chronicles of Narnia]]''.
Line 146:
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] - Gilbert invokes this with Carl on purpose to get him to leave him alone.
* [[Teen Genius]] - Jules has actually already graduated but sticks around to keep his friend Rosemarine company.
** Also Pascal. Occasionally bordering on [[Mad Scientist]].
* [[Teens Are Short]]
* [[There Are No Therapists]] - Gilbert could ''desperately'' use one.
Line 155:
* [[Will They or Won't They?]] - {{spoiler|They do}}.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]] - Serge gets this quite a few times, especially in the 16th volume.
* [[When He Smiles]]: Gilbert, as Serge comments on very early on in chapter 4.
* [[The White Prince]] - This is Rosemarine's nickname, though Serge's father Aslan fits the actual trope better.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] - Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert.
* [[Whole-Episode Flashback]] or, more accurately, ''six volume'' flashback, with three volumes devoted to [[Backstory|Gilbert's childhood and three devoted to how Serge's parents met and his early life.]]
* [[The X of Y]]
* [[Yandere (disambiguation)]] - Gilbert and Auguste, but especially the latter.
* [[Yoshiko Sakakibara]] - The voice of Rosemariné in the OVA. Also falls into [[Playing Against Type]], as she doesn't usually voice [[Bishonen]] characters.
