** Maybe even the rest of a class, deciding he is a CoolTeacher and can give wise advices about their interpersonal issues.

* Expy: Berserker from ''Fate/Zero'' revived as a man who avoided people until teaching english literature, just look at John Rook.

* TransparentCloset: One of the characters realises he's gay end works up the courage to come out. When he does, everyone else is surprised it took him this long.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of the 12channel threads suddenly gets derailed into someone (Or some people, can never tell with anonimity) talking about Korea during the Joseon dynasty. Lo and behold, [[Visualnovel/AnalogueAHateStory Christine Love's next Visual Novel after this one]] is about Koreans in a pseudo-Joseon dynasty!

* TransparentCloset: One of the first things we learn about [[spoiler:Akira.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of the 12channel threads suddenly gets derailed into someone (Or some people, can never tell with anonimity) talking about Korea during the Joseon dynasty. Lo and behold, [[Visualnolve/AnalogueAHateStory Christine Love's nest Visual Novel after this one]] is about Koreans in a pseudo-Joseon dynasty!

* BrandX: [=AmieConnect=] is totally not Facebook, and 12channel is totally not 4chan! Amusingly, [[spoiler:the former "real thing" is referred to by name towards the end, and the Internet equivalent of a CollectiveGroan occurs when an (old at the time of the game's publication, much more so by ''2027'') InterruptingMeme from the latter appears in its equivalent]].

** Subverted in the case of [[spoiler:Isabella, where the discussion of BattleRoyale sets a very misleading tone]].

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Kendall and Charlotte, though the latter seems to be pansexual.

* TeacherStudentRomance: You can have a fairly platonic one with Arianna or you can dive right into it and make out with her in chapter one.

* BigBrotherIsWatching: And his name is Mr. Rook. As it turns out, [[spoiler:nobody really cares]].

* AmbiguouslyGay: Nolan. He ''says'' he's just dating [[spoiler:Akira]] [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy to make him happy]], but it's not clear how much he means it.

* BookDumb: Most of the class is doing pretty badly in John's class, and it's probably not all due to his inexperience and the frequent distractions from his actual job.

!!Tropes present in this VN:

''[[http://www.scoutshonour.com/donttakeitpersonallybabeitjustaintyourstory/ don't take it personally babe, it just ain't your story]]'' (yes, it is, in fact, written like that) is a 2011 visual novel written in English by Christine Love, centering on a high school English class in 2027 and the social lives of its students. You play John Rook, the teacher, who has [[BigBrotherIsWatching total]] access to the school social networking system, [=AmieConnect=], and has vowed to let his students approach him about anything.

* HasTwoMommies: Akira is stated to have a mother and ''another'' mother. It's probably this trope.

** Rook uses BattleRoyale and TwelfthNight as part of the curriculum.

* NoCommunitiesWereHarmed: The game references actual streets and suburbs of Toronto, but it takes place in "Lake City".

* [[spoiler:ObfuscatingStupidity: Apparently all of the students. They were failing (so says Rook) as you progress but they all get a 90+ average at the end.]]
