* {{Expy}}: Sekai looks like a hybrid mix between Kagome from {{Manga/Inuyasha}}, Tomo from Manga/AzumangaDaioh, and Nagisa Furukawa from VisualNovel/CLANNAD.

* HeroesWantRedheads: [[spoiler: In the routes with him, Makoto is determined to be with him, or at least his alter ego "Yuu".]]

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler:In the anime. After realizing he pushed Kotonoha into the DespairEventHorizon, Makoto attempts to finally do right by her. Unfortunately, this also involved being an utter asshole to Sekai, resulting in her killing him.]]

* {{Bokukko}}: Uses the boyish pronoun “Boku” as part of her tomboyish nature.

* AnythingThatMoves: Has officially qualified for this trope as of the ''Cross Days'' sequel in the game series: pretty girls his age? Their beautiful young mothers? Their thirteen-year-old sisters? [[WholesomeCrossdresser Adorable BOYS his age]] who are [[StupidSexyFlanders just as beautiful]] (if not more so) [[{{Yaoi}} than his girlfriend(s)?]] Thank goodness he hasn't yet shown sexual interest in farm animals or senior citizens, otherwise he may as well change his name to [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Glenn Quagmire]].
** And just to top it off, in Strip Battle Days 2, [[ParentalIncest he beds his mother]] [[BabiesEverAfter and gets her pregnant.]]
** Pretty much the only female in the series that he hasn't showed any sexual interest in is his younger sister Itaru, who generally serves as a MoralityPet for him when she appears.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Even though he [[YouAreWhatYouHate hates]] [[ArchnemesisDad the man,]] Makoto has ''a lot'' in common with his father Tomaru. Their [[ReallyGetsAround legendary]] [[AnythingThatMoves lust,]] for example, being the most prominent. There's also their tendency of banging people they're related to, though in Makoto's case, he [[ParentalIncest (usually)]] [[SurpriseIncest has no idea that he's related to a number of his love interests.]] Oh, and in some of the more [[DownerEnding infamous routes,]] the utter [[DomesticAbuser lack of respect towards their partners (as shown with them viewing women as merely objects to use for sex)]] is another trait they share.

* STDImmunity: Considering how often [[TheCasanova he]] [[AnythingThatMoves gets]] [[ReallyGetsAround around]], and his apparent refusal to use protection, it's a wonder he hasn't come down with at least ''one'' of these...

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Less so in the manga, ''much'' more so in the anime and perhaps in the games, if you pick the [[SchmuckBait right options]]. The average harem anime protagonist is more or less seen as a RidiculouslyAverageGuy who's more often than not an AccidentalPervert who may or may not actually have [[AllMenArePerverts perverted tendencies]], is a ChasteHero who is ObliviousToLove, is able to attract women through his being a generally NiceGuy, and has character ''traits'' but not so much an actual personality — so as to allow the male viewers to insert themselves into the role. Makoto takes all of these tropes and elements and eviscerates them completely. To wit:
** Being a RidiculouslyAverageGuy at his age has been played to its logical conclusion and he's more or less a HormoneAddledTeenager whose perversity and lust incrementally increases the more girls throw themselves at him.
** His obliviousness to love is [[JustifiedTrope justified]] by how he ends up gradually seeing the girls as sex objects and less as actual people, which isn't helped by the fact that many girls do end up attracted to him in the long run.
** His status as a plain old NiceGuy gets hampered over time due to his lust for more women, and in some instances, this drives them away from him.
** He appears to be just a boring FlatCharacter initially, but his personality adapts for better or for worse depending on his faithfulness to whoever the player chooses for him to romance. But in the anime, this is thoroughly demolished and he is taken to the absolute extreme negative side of the scale — he becomes outright sociopathic in his pursuit of sex, and when he finds it in himself to turn things around for the better, he still shows himself to be a monstrous and cruel person whose lack of respect for people shines glaringly through.
* DependingOnTheWriter: ''Hoo boy'' His characterization varies wildly across all appearances. (Most of them are not favorable.)
