* JustTheWayYouAre: Discussed, and defied. Izumi wants Kanon to know that he loves her no matter what and was always interested in her when she was still an unsuccessful idol, but Kanon is skeptical. She notes that while she had plastic surgery before she met Izumi, she was ''already'' having body issues and had surgery done at the time she was an idol, so she doesn't believe that he could ever fall for the "real" her. He's also rather ignorant of her many habits, like taking drugs or her wrist cutting.

I feel the word choice of "however" makes it seem like the trope is being played straight in the example (unlike the previous one where it was a defied trope), when rather it's about a character in-story having this mentality

* HateSink: The trainee teacher takes advantage of Kaede's kindness and rapes him not only traumatizing the poor kid, but in doing so, she indirectly sets the events of the series into motion being the reason Kaede hates being touched as well as him enrolling into an all-boys school. She becomes worse when she reappears in chapter 33: not only does she try to kill Kaede once she sees him again, but she had the audacity to blame Kaede for ruining her life and ending her chances of becoming a teacher even though it was her own fault.

* LoveAtFirstSight: Tsubasa falls for Kaede at first sight because of his looks and demeanor after a chance encounter in the street. But this is {{Deconstructed|Trope}} as it becomes clear that Tsubasa has an overly rosy view of romance as depicted in romantic fiction like shoujo manga. At the same time, Kaede rushes into the relationship because he believes it's "normal" for a teenaged boy to look for love. This results in both teenagers being woefully underprepared to handle their emotions when Kaede trusts her enough to explain his trauma to her.
