* GagBoobs -- Maria
* GainaxEnding -- Despite no prior supernatural elements other than hints of sentience in the pets and Alex's bewitching hair, the gang spend the last few chapters before the epilogue trapped in Franchise/SilentHill, tying the book to TheUnmasquedWorld of its later sister series.

* {{Homage}} -- Too many to list here. Quite notably, however, Echiboo and Luna-P reenact the famous SpaghettiKiss scene from ''Disney/LadyAndTheTramp''.
* InterspeciesRomance -- Echiboo the hamster and Luna-P the pig. They mate, and Luna-P gives birth to a MixAndMatchCritter.
* TheLadette -- Nina. She's lazy, she smokes, and in [[http://gomanga.com/webmanga/index.php?series=aoioriginal&page=21 the original]], she was quite the drinker, too.

* LoveTriangle -- After Elle becomes somewhat of a DefrostingIceQueen, this starts to develop with Alex and Morgan.

* ShipTease -- Mason is able to break Elle out of her funk after she loses out to Morgan on getting Alex, but it's hinted at that he actually ends up with [[spoiler:Jessica]]. This is another one of those ones that seems weird because they had little interaction during the main plot, but hints ''were'' dropped there.
* ShoutOut -- Far too many to list. Numerous anime and western media are referenced. Some are even extremely obscure such as the Gaijin song from the Adam and Joe go Tokyo British show
* ShrinkingViolet -- Maria
* SignsOfDisrepair -- [[spoiler:Y]]aoi House and [[spoiler:Y]]uri House
* SinisterScythe -- Subverted in that the scythe is wielded by a protagonist.
* SweetTooth -- Morgan. ''Seriously''. Elle seems to look for excuses to deny Morgan candy, likely because Morgan is [[GenkiGirl hyper enough as it is]].
* TeamPet -- Echiboo
* TheGlomp -- Morgan, to Alex.
* ThemeNaming -- Many characters' surnames (and most of the given names of the main characters' children in the DistantFinale) are references to DCComics characters, usually ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''.

* GainaxEnding -- Despite no prior supernatural elements other than hints of sentience in the pets, the gang spend the last few chapters before the epilogue [[spoiler:trapped in Franchise/SilentHill]], tying the book to TheUnmasquedWorld of its later sister series.

''AoiHouse'' is an [[OELManga Original English-Language manga]] published by Seven Seas Entertainment. It began as a webcomic before being picked up by Seven Seas, at which point a new artist was assigned to it. The original webcomic ran in 2005. It is filled with homages to other works--mostly anime, but not exclusively.

''AoiHouse'' is the story of Alexis "Alex" Roberts and Sandy Grayson, two male college students kicked out of their dorm for having "unknown and potentially alcoholic beverages" (they weren't alcoholic) and for showing lewd anime videos in the student lounge, and because during their meeting with the dean about these infractions, Sandy's hamster Echiboo made himself comfortable in the dean's toupee. However, they seem to be in luck when they find a flyer for an anime club, "Aoi House". Just one problem: before the Y fell off of their sign, they were "'''Y'''aoi House", and the flyer neglected to mention that it's supposed to be girls and gay guys only. However, seeing as how the housing committee has been on their case to get more members, they have no choice but to let Alex and Sandy stay. HilarityEnsues.

* ThemeNaming -- Many characters' surnames (and most of the given names of the main characters' children in the DistantFinale) are references to DCComics characters, usually ''{{Batman}}''.

* HelloNurse -- Not only is Jessica this, she's actually studying to become a [[HospitalHottie nurse.]] In the DistantFinale, she works at [[cGreysAnatomy Seattle Grace]].

!!This work contains examples of the following tropes:

* HelloNurse -- Not only is Jessica this, she's actually studying to become a [[HospitalHottie nurse.]] In the DistantFinale, she works at [[GreysAnatomy Seattle Grace]].

The webcomic could formerly found at the Go Manga website, but that is no longer available. It is being rereleased online at [[http://www.aoihouse.net/ the new Pixie Trix/Zoom Comics]] server 5 days a week. The entire series is available in print and e-reader formats.

* DidNotDoTheResearch -- In Universe: Mr. Perkins accused Sandy of serving minors alcoholic beverages, when it was [[http://www.aoihouse.net/strips-aoi/chewed_out ramune]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramune (a popular Japanese soda).]]

* FiveManBand -- The Aoi House girls, Uri House, and the [[HaruhiSuzumiya UASOS Brigade.]]
