History Manga / PrunusGirl

* RealMenWearPink: Not as bad as some ''LightNovel/{{Toradora}}'' yankee, but still, Maki is quite skilled at chores.

* OffModel: Possibly due to the 2011 Earthquake in Japan, chapter 22 is quite literally half-finished, with a majority of the pages not fully inked in.

** When he does [[ComedicUnderwearExposure accidentally find out]]... it's ''still'' left ambiguous, as it's covered up by Maki's SpitTake. Then he says "I finally understand..." but in a loss for words, he eventually drops the matter. The ambiguity rises to a meta level on this point because another translation strongly implies what Maki "finally understands" is whether Aikawa wears boys' or girls' underwear, not anything conclusive about Aikawa's sex, so whether this particular [[TheUnreveal Unreveal]] even ''happened'' is up for debate.

* BrokenBase: In-universe. Aikawa has a rabid fan club at school which is sharply divided over the question of whether he truly is a guy, or a girl pretending to be a crossdressing guy. They're very nearly at open war with each other.

* HiddenDepths: You'd be forgiven for not knowing that Kadoyama is the highest scoring student in the main class and among the best in school.

** [[spoiler:Eventually even Maki realizes this is how he feels towards Aikawa.]]

* NotADate: Aikawa encountered a suitor, and in a panic said he had a boyfriend. So he goes on a date with Maki to throw the guy off. Maki comments that their "date" is basically what they do normally, but from the suitor's perspective they act like the ''perfect'' loving couple. [[spoiler:And after he finally leaves, Maki and Aikawa ''continue'' their "date".]]

* RescueRomance: Aikawa gets accosted by two thugs but gets rescued by Maki in a fox mask, who easily scares the thugs away with crazy kung-fu skills and sweeps Aikawa off his feet (and onto some steps to repair Aikawa's broken sandal). Subverted, though, as apparently the whole production was to prevent ''Aikawa'' from kicking their asses and getting in trouble. He gets an unwanted kiss on the cheek for his efforts. Cue the festival fireworks.

* SeriousBusiness: Aikawa has a large unofficial fanclub which apparently encompasses about half the male student body. One riven by deep internal divisions over Aikawa's AmbiguousGender, including a faction that maintains it doesn't matter at all.

** Logically, Maki "knows" that Aikawa is a guy, but he still can't help but be frequently embarrassed by Aikawa's antics (and occasionally be tempted to take up offers to personally verify gender). Meanwhile, his friend Kadoyama is hopeless over Aikawa, declaring "who cares as long as (s)he's cute!" and getting really worked up. A nameless herd of classmates seem to agree.

* ScaryShinyGlasses: Chris fits the bill, especially when he [[AdjustingYourGlasses constantly adjusts his glasses by the bridge]]. Before we know what a goofball he is, anyway. A shadowy ensemble of the Student Council with their glasses all highlighted also plays to the trope for the Council at large.

* GlassesTropes: A few, thanks to every member of the Student Council wearing glasses, as well as a couple other characters. Knowing Chris, he's explicitly trying to ''invoke'' these tropes through the Student Council.

** PurelyAestheticGlasses: Forced on Maki and Aikawa when they're recruited to help the Student Council during the culture festival, which means some permanent members may have them too.
** ScaryShinyGlasses: Chris fits the bill, especially when he [[AdjustingYourGlasses constantly adjusts his glasses by the bridge]]. Before we know what a goofball he is, anyway. A shadowy ensemble of the Student Council with their glasses all highlighted also plays to the trope for the Council at large.
** SexySpectacles: At least in Yaotome's opinion.
** SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Kandaka-sensei, who was paired with her friend Ranbashi as one of "the" honors students. However, Ran was probably the more gifted of the two since she never had to study, and also never wore glasses. Kandaka had to study hard to keep her grades up.

** {{Meganekko}}: For any girls on the Council (though so far only Yaotome has appeared), and Kandaka-sensei.

** {{Megane}}: For the boys on the Council

* CastFullOfGay: Let's see... Three SchoolgirlLesbians (two a couple) [[spoiler:and another lesbian couple in the school faculty]], [[EvenTheGuysWantHim everyone is gay for Aikawa]], one AmbiguouslyBi class representative, [[SingleTargetSexuality Aikawa only shows interest in Maki]], and [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Maki struggles desperately to maintain any claim to heterosexuality]]. About the only ones who can get away with claiming to be unambiguously straight are the YaoiFangirl, HopelessSuitor [[JustFriends Asakura Asami]], and [[spoiler:Sasakino Kei, who is interested only in her ''twin brother'' Ken. Who may return that interest]]. Oh, and possibly the old chemistry teacher, who we've heard nothing about at all.

* SchoolgirlLesbians:
** Shion really likes girls, but it seems after a little coercing, she has given some thought about going for a boy. And when she says "boy", she means ''[[IfItsYouItsOkay just Maki]]''. Later developments reveal that the entire reason Shion moved to the new school is because her girlfriend's father reacted poorly when they came out of the closet to him. When the other girl, Kana, follows her in the new school they return to being a couple.
** When posed with the question that she has somebody whom she likes, Non realises she has developed feelings for Shion. Much to Non's chargin, it takes a turn for the worse when [[spoiler:she becomes attracted to Shion's girlfriend, Kana, upon eavesdropping on their reunion.]]
** Kandaka-sensei and Substitute Director Ranbashi were pretty close when they were schoolgirls. When Shion suggests they still may be doing "all kind of intimate things at night", Kandaka's shocked response indirectly confirms it. And a later chapter when Ranbashi finally appears ''directly'' confirms it.

''Prunus Girl'' is a completed {{shounen}} manga series by Tomoki Matsumoto. An example of OtokonokoGenre.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Chapter 38 reveals that this is invoked by Kana since it's Shion's fetish.
