* MaybeEverAfter: [[spoiler: How the manga ends. While Mugi and Hanabi don't get together and don't need each other anymore, they still have the possibility in the future. ''Decor'' eventually revewals that TheyDo.]]

** Narumi is in love with Akane, but [[spoiler:Akane (initially) feels nothing for Narumi and only enters a relationship with him because she loves to see men's admirers cry. However, Akane and Narumi end up [[AvertedTrope averting]] this, as Akane eventually develops feelings for Narumi, and accepts his marriage proposal.]]

* IncompatibleOrientation: Ecchan has Hanabi ([[AmbiguouslyBi apparently]]), Atsuya has Ecchan. Of course, in Atsuya's case, there's also the issue that he's her cousin. That said, [[spoiler:after Ecchan ends things with Hanabi, she [[ShipTease hints]] to Atsuya that she might reciprocate his feelings some day.]]

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: [[spoiler:Akane]] knows what she's doing is wrong, but she embraces it for most of the manga until Narumi's unconditional love somewhat gets through to her. Mugi slowly develops this mindset over the course of the manga, but manages to move past it after [[spoiler: him and Akane end their relationship.]]

* SexEqualsLove: Played with a lot of the tine. A lot of the characters with some sort of moral compass want to associate their romantic feelings for their crushes with sex, or hope that the sex will lead to love as is usual for the trope. However, it's really not that easy; when they fall for a person who only wants sex from them, or think that putting out will lead to the relationship they really want, it tends to create problems and poor planning that hurts everyone involved.

* InsaneForgiveness: [[spoiler:Narumi loves Akane so much that he doesn't care that she's a gigantic slut; he even asks her to marry him with full knowledge of the risk that she's going to cheat on him... because ''she outright tells him that she's going to cheat on him'']].

* IncompatibleOrientation: Ecchan has Hanabi, Atsuya has Ecchan. Of course, in Atsuya's case, there's also the issue that he's her cousin. That said, [[spoiler:after Ecchan ends things with Hanabi, she [[ShipTease hints]] to Atsuya that she might reciprocate his feelings some day.]]

* IWillWaitForYou: A platonic version between [[spoiler:Hanabi and Sanae. Sanae is ready to completely sever her friendship with Hanabi, as it hurts too much to be around her due to their [[IncompatibleOrientation Incompatible Orientations]]. However, she agrees to try and get over Hanabi, who promises to wait until then so they can be friends again]].

** Mugi loves Akane, who doesn't return his feelings. [[spoiler:That said, when Mugi confesses his feelings to her, she pretends to reciprocate (which Mugi is full aware of) and starts sleeping with him. She eventually breaks it off when Narumi proposes to her]].

** Mugi loves Akane, who doesn't return his feelings.

* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler:Seemingly the only justification Akane offers for her behavior, when questioned by Hanabi, as well as several of her internal monolouges. She seems to have no FreudianExcuse for her manipulative promiscuity, and appers to simply like the feeling of getting men to fall in love with her, hurting other women who are interested in them, and ultimately discarding them]].

* IWillWaitForYou: A platonic version between [[spoiler:Hanabi and Sanae. Sanae is ready to completely sever her friendship with Hanabi, as it hurts too much to be around her given her unreciprocated feelings. However, she agrees to try and get over Hanabi, who promises to wait until then so they can be friends again]].

** Narumi is in love with Akane, but [[spoiler:Akane feels nothing for Narumi and only enters a relationship with him because she loves to see men's admirers cry]].

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:By the end of the series, Akane is engaged to Narumi, and seems none the worse for wear after sleeping with her student, manipulating men's feelings for years, and getting under Hanabi's skin. You could argue that her atonement is trying to learn to love Narumi, and she seems to be more sympathetic, but she doesn't seem to get any comeuppance for her actions in the manga.]]
* {{Kawaiiko}}: Noriko. Everyone else agrees with that statement, calling her cute and pure, and her self-proclaimed nickname Moka is the result of her wanting it to sound cuter.
* KissingCousins: Sanae's cousin Atsuya is in love with her. She is not interested.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Invoked. Noriko tells Hanabi that [[spoiler:she won their "competition" of sorts by at least being able to love purely and sincerely, something that Hanabi herself was pursuing but never achieved; sure, Hanabi went through the more "physical" approach, but she definitely didn't leave "happy" with herself]].

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Invoked. Moriko tells Hanabi that [[spoiler:she won their "competition" of sorts by at least being able to love purely and sincerely, something that Hanabi herself was pursuing but never achieved; sure, Hanabi went through the more "physical" approach, but she definitely didn't leave "happy" with herself]].

* IfItsYouItsOkay: Noriko tries to go for this when she asks Mugi for sex, saying that it's alright for him to defile her even though she's seen as cute and pure, but Mugi knows that he won't go for it and that ''she'' won't go for it either, [[SubvertedTrope and so stops her]].

** Additionally, Saene wears a baseball cap with the show's title scrawled on it for much of her second arc.

** When Akane tells Narumi about her sexual past, she's driving him away because she thinks he couldn't possibly be attracted to her after learning about how "unpure" she is compared to most women. Her arc in general could give her some sympathy, seeing that she's putting up multiple fronts and no one's looking to see the "real" her, if only [[spoiler:she wasn't as intentionally sexually manipulative as she was throughout her teenage and adult years, perpetuating all of the false projections of herself that se's not quite sure she wants to take down.]]

* BrokenAesop: The idea of the characters being "scum" or engaging in loveless sexual acts is hampered down by the fact that Hanabi is a TechnicalVirgin. Some fans go into it thinking that despite her complex personality and her using Ecchan, she's still technically "pure" (and therefore still sympathetic to the audience as an MC) by virtue of not being penetrated during any of her various smut scenes, and cite having [[spoiler:Akane]], the series' [[TheVamp Vamp]], and Mugi (who is a very horny boy) get the bulk of penetrative sex and character focus (at least on [[spoiler:Akane]]'s part) as proof of this.
