----

* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: Nakamura seems to think so. Kasuga's actions aren't exactly making this point seem frivolous.

* [[Angst]]: Loads of it.

* [[An Offer You Can't Refuse]]: As mentioned in the synopsis.

* [[Art Evolution]]: Initially the character art had problems with proportions, and everybody was slightly strange looking, until the 12th chapter where everything normalized.

* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Nakamura.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: [[Gender Flip|Gender-flipped]] with Kasuga. Saeki gets hit with it pretty hard as well.

* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: ''Dammit'', Kasuga.

* [[Character Development]]: Kasuga eventually starts to grow a pair and stops being so spineless. He even tries to openly defy Nakamura, [[Failure Is the Only Option|with predictable results.]]

* [[Creepy Child]]: Nakamura's clearly got some screws loose...

* [[Cruel Mercy]]: Nakamura decides to ''congratulate'' Kasuga in asking out Saeki. Unfortunately for Kasuga, it's only because she uses the opportunity to {{spoiler|force him to go on the date while wearing Saeki's gym clothes under his clothes.}}

* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: It is '''''never''''' a good thing whenever Nakamura smiles, and Kasuga knows it.

* [[Double Standard]]: According to Yamada, it's completely okay to fantasize of stealing a girl's clothes, but it's NOT okay to actually do the crime.

** Nakamura's hairstyle reminds one of Rei, let alone her somewhat emotionless face.

* [[Gonk]]: Kasuga's friends.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: It's like making Kasuga feel like a "fucking worm" is only way how Nakamura gets some form of pleasure.

* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Nakamura takes every opportunity possible to deride Kasuga and call him a pervert, but in Chapter 3, she openly admitted that's she's not exactly squeaky-clean herself.

* [[Idiot Ball]]: The reason why Kasuga's problems snowball into much worse ones is the fact that he tends to do the least sensible thing at the worst possible times.

* [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness]]: Saeki pretty much earned her spot in this trope when {{spoiler|she tells Kasuga that she doesn't care that he stole her gym clothes; in fact, the only problem she had with it was the fact that ''he never told her''}}. [[Heartwarming Moments|Wow]].

* [[Jerkass]]: Nakamura seems to enjoy torturing and manipulating Kasuga for no other reason than the fact that it's so damn easy to do so.

* [[Just a Kid|Just Puberty]]: Kasuga's dad uses this as an explanation for his son's odd change in behavior.

* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|Kasuga and Saeki.}}

* [[Oh Crap]]: Kasuga wears this expression so much that one must be afraid that his face might permanently be stuck that way soon.

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Kasuga's friends, Yamada and a character yet to be named.

* [[Three Amigos]]: Saeki says to Kasuga that she wants to be this with {{spoiler|him and ''Nakamura''}}.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: It's probably not a good idea to try and hide something from someone who knows your deepest, darkest secret, Kasuga...

* [[Troubling Unchildlike Behavior]]: Well, no guesses to as who belongs here, but it's not just Nakamura. Kasuga does some really strange things out of his own free will.
