This reminds him he ([[TransparentCloset supposedly]]) has a bigger secret than whatever Yuri has, so stopped asking while getting all flushed.

* GenderNonconformingEqualsGay: {{Inverted|Trope}} -- Akiyoshi has a very stereotyped view of gay people, so when he hears that Tomoko's coworker has come out, he assumes the man will start to cross-dress at work.

* LyingByOmission: Hiroki's still in the {{closet|Gay}}, so when he was pressed to tell some of his friends about his crush in Chapter 28, he made truthful descriptions of Daigo... but dropped the subject so as to hide his sexuality. His friends assumes he talks about a girl.
* MenCantKeepHouse: {{Averted}} by Akiyoshi. He teaches his sons to do household chores in Chapter 10, and gives them demonstrations. This indicates he is adept at chores as well.

The official translation also drops the subject.


* GenderConcealingWriting: When questioned by his friends about the person he likes, Hiroki gives various characteristics of Daigo that can be applied to both genders, but he never specifies the gender of the person he likes by dropping the subject from his answer completely. Tomoko realizes he might be getting better at lying. The English translation instead uses the "they" formation, since, unlike Japanese, subjects usually can't be dropped from a sentence.
-->'''Hiroki:''' They're really smart, and composed. They're also hardworking, and really dependable. Also... they look cute in glasses.
