Line 3:
* [[Canon Sue]]: To some, Aoi. For details, see [[Purity Sue]], below.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Tina. [[Hair of Gold|Not very dark, though.]]
* [[Fan -Preferred Couple]]: It's [[Captain Obvious|obvious]] from the first episode that [[Official Couple|Kaoru and Aoi]] will [[Red String of Fate|wind up together]]. (Some would say [[Rule of Drama|painfully obvious, in that it kills]] a lot of [[Ship Tease|potential tension]].) Even so, [[Tear Jerker|how can one help]] but [[Sand in My Eyes|feel bad for]] [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|T]][[Genki Girl|i]][[Loveable Sex Maniac|n]][[Ensemble Darkhorse|a]]?
* [[Hilarity Ensues]]
* [[Idiot Plot]]: A mild example -- perhaps more of a None-Too-Clever Plot. But it really ''should'' be obvious to anyone paying attention that something odd is going on between Aoi and Kaoru; even the way they address each other -- Aoi calling the ostensibly lower-caste Kaoru "Kaoru-sama" while Kaoru calls the ostensibly higher-caste Aoi "Aoi-chan" -- should make people suspicious. Even more egregiously, while Aoi and Kaoru may have reason to keep their engagement low profile to avoid antagonizing Aoi's family, there's no good reason for Kaoru to pretend he's romantically "available," except that it keeps the "[[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity]]" going.
Line 12:
* [[Moe Moe|Moe]]: Wouldn't really be an [[Unwanted Harem]] show without tons of it, right?
* [[Purity Sue]]: Some viewers / readers see Aoi as this. To an extent, [[Values Dissonance]] between Japanese and American cultures.
** Aoi comes across as more of a [[Purity Sue]] (as opposed to a [[Plucky Girl]]) in [[Oddly Named Sequel|Enishi]], because by then she really has nothing to ''do'' anymore, the main sources of plot-tension having been resolved by the end of the first season. (Nothing to do in terms of plot; [[Magical Girlfriend|she's still exceptionally busy taking care of pretty much]] [[Big Fancy House|the entire manor]] [[Magical Girlfriend|as well as most of its residents]].) This lack of tension is a major reason [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Tina]] starts to edge out Aoi as half of the [[Fan -Preferred Couple]].
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: Aoi can provoke this sort of reaction.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Generally speaking, probably [[Bratty Half -Pint|Mayu]]. But for some, [[Genki Girl|Chika]], and for others, [[The Ditz|Taeko]].
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: Some feel this way about the romance between Kaoru and Aoi, especially as the series goes on and on and on.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The episode ''Moonlight''. Tina lets everything out to a sleeping Kaoru, since she's leaving tomorrow, {{spoiler|and couldn't bear to tell him it's supposed to be for good. She kisses him partway through. He then turns over and mutters Aoi's name. Tina now knows where Kaoru's love lies, though they've been hiding it out of necessity the whole time.}} Her expression says it all. * sniff* The fact that she's still shown to love them both ''dearly'' despite this is Tina's [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]. ''Still'' choked up. The manga issues that "follow" the anime just raise the respect meter more.
