* GenreSavvy: Asunaro, being a connoisseur of harem media, recognizes all of the tropes the girls must invoke during the competition, such as accidental groping, eating lunch on the roof together, or a BeachEpisode. Similarly, the girls are aware of such tropes themselves and plan on how to deliberately plan events so as not to lose a heart.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:During the final game, Serika snaps and berates Asunaro for being so boring and generic and declaring that she could ''never'' like a guy like him and it made her sick to pretend she did. Following her lead to ensure that Asunaro doesn't view ''any'' of them as a potential winner, the other girls all follow suit, venting out all of their frustrations with Azunaro even from before the game started. Asunaro, who had no clue the girls really felt like that, is utterly gutted and the girls quickly lose their hearts.]]
* SexEqualsLove: Invoked by Zepfur; [[spoiler:the final game she plans, and the one that will determine which girl Azunaro has chosen as the winner, involves Azunaro and one of the girls having sex at school. She declares several times during this announcement that sex is the ultimate act of love and the best kind of ending to a harem genre.]]

Having a harem of beautiful girls who are all dedicated to you? For high school student Asunaro Kohinata, this used to be nothing more than a delusion, but one day he finds a strange bottle and decides to open it, unsealing the demon Zepfur. Out of gratitude, Zepfur decides to fulfill his desires for a harem.
...However, Zepfur achieves this by subjecting the girls of Asunaro's dreams to intense mental torture, killing them brutally over and over again. She then forces the girls to play a twisted game to win Asunaro's heart, with the winner then going out with him while the losers will all be sent to Hell.
And thus a cruel romance game with the highest possible stakes begins, with Asunaro none the wiser...
