History VisualNovel / HoshizoraEKakaruHashi

* StupidSexyFlanders: A sizable portion of this show's ''straight male'' fandom are watching it for ''Ayumu'', finding him to be cuter than ''any'' of the girls in the cast. Applys in-universe as well.

* BishieSparkle: Used frequently on Hina to accentuate her TallDarkAndBishoujo characteristics, but also in a hilarious case with PuppyDogEyes (see below). Also a few times on Ui when she's in a really good mood (like when she's about to [[BigEater eat]]).

* {{Expy}}: Hina is very similar to [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Sakaki]] in both [[TallDarkAndBishoujo appear]][[HugeSchoolgirl ance]] and [[SugarAndIcePersonality person]][[CutenessProximity ality]].

* RoseHairedGirl: Hina, rare for a TallDarkAndBishoujo type.

* TallDarkAndBishoujo: Hina. Daigo calls her the [[GratuitousEnglish "cool beauty"]].

* TheArcher: Ibuki is the ace member of her school's archery team, and even gets "RobinHood" as a nickname. (Though Kazuma jokingly calls her "[[{{Kinnikuman}} Robin Mask]]").

* BerserkButton: Senka Yorozu feels greatly offended when Kazuma calls her {{Oba-san}}.

*** Immediately followed by "If you're truly related by blood, this is a prank [[TheWorldOnlyGodKnows God only knows]]", to which Kazuma replies with "[[CollectiveGroan You people...]]"

!Tropes in this work include:

** [[spoiler: Played brutally straight in the anime's timeline: Kazuma gets Ui in the end.]]

** Madoka again during her ping-pong match with Koyori. Tsumugi can also perform it simply by sitting in a massage chair.
* GagBoobs: Madoka

* GirlsAreReallyScaredOfHorrorMovies: [[spoiler: Ibuki in the Visual Novel]]

*** Episode 4's title is possibly direct ShoutOut to the FluffyTamer scene in ''AkaneiroNiSomaruSaka''.

* [[spoiler: UnluckyChildhoodFriend]]: [[spoiler: Madoka]]

* StupidSexyFlanders: A sizable portion of this show's ''straight male'' fandom are watching it for ''Ayumu'', finding him to be cuter than ''any'' of the girls in the cast. Applys in-universe as wekk

[[caption-width-right:240: It's like the [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair colors of the rainbow]]...

[[caption-width-right:240: It's like the [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair colors of the rainbow]]... Too bad, though. [[hottip:*: [[IchibanUshiroNoDaimaou Someone got the nickname]] [[FanNickname Color Wars]] first.]]

[[caption-width-right:240: It's like the [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair colors of the rainbow]]... Too bad, though. [[hottip:*: [[IchibanUshiroNoDaimaou Someone got the nickname]] [[FanNickname Color Wars]] first.]]]]

* HoYay: A lot, combined with IncestSubtext, between Kazuma and Ayumu. All the characters make notes of this, and it's even {{lampshaded}} in the NextEpisodePreview during episode 1.

** Also in episode 8; [[JoJosBizarreAdventure ORAORAORAORAORA!!!]]

* {{Expy}}: Hina is very similar to [[AzumangaDaioh Sakaki]] in both [[TallDarkAndBishoujo appear]][[HugeSchoolgirl ance]] and [[SugarAndIcePersonality person]][[CutenessProximity ality]].

** Hina's reaction to Ui's penguin suit is similar to the reaction [[AzumangaDaioh Chiyo]] got in her penguin costume minus the chasing.

* BabyGotBack: A whole lot in the "rear-end sumo" contest, in which the participants are resident [[HotMom Hot Moms]]. Madoka's mother, the winner, is worth an honored mention.
** [[spoiler: Male versions: Ayumu while in the "traditional shrine outfit", complete with several girls going {{Squee}}. And amusingly, Kazuma in the same outfit as lampshaded by the [[HotMom Hot Moms]].]]

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Ui tries to convince herself that this is how she sees Kazuma. [[spoiler: That's perhaps to stave away the pain of losing her [[BigBrotherComplex older brother to his wife]]. She eventually gets over it with just one phone call to her brother, and since that point begins to see Kazuma as something else.]]

* CuteShotaroBoy: Ayumu and Keita.

** Hina has started to show more varied reactions to the cute object[=/=]person depending on who or what it is. She acts like the CoolBigSis towards [[CuteShotaroBoy Ayumu]] (and already [[PetTheDog patting him on the head]] at their first meeting), while she has a more suggestive reaction to when Kasane dresses up in a cute bear pajama suit (resulting in some bizzare sleep experience for the former when they spend the night in Kazuma's house).

* HimeCut: Madoka and Senka.

*** Daigo fits the trope better

* StupidSexyFlanders: A sizable portion of this show's ''straight male'' fandom are watching it for ''Ayumu'', finding him to be cuter than ''any'' of the girls in the cast.

* AnimeHair: Bad enough to parody. [[spoiler: Kazuma's "hair" sticks up sometimes in the morning and Ayumu has to "handle" it. [[LiteralMetaphor Literally, of course.]]]]

** "[[Literature/OreNoImoutoGaKonnaniKawaiiWakeGaNai There's no way your little brother can be this cute!]]" in episode 2.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The beach episode happens on a Wednesday (in Japanese its 水月, or Suigetsu, the first character means water)

** "[[OreNoImoutoGaKonnaniKawaiiWakeGaNai There's no way your little brother can be this cute!]]" in episode 2.

* EveryGirlIsCuterWithHairDecs

* {{Tsurime Eyes}}: Hina. Whereas just about all the other girls have Tareme EyesEyes.

* NakedFirstImpression: Tsumugi is cleaning the baths when Kazuma walks in. She (and Senka, seconds later) get a good look at his junk.
** [[{{Nudge}} Not that Tsumugi could see much, anyway]], from all the CensorSteam going on.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: [[spoiler: Minato Nagase and Yocchan from ''{{Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka}}'' make a cameo appearance in the ''Hoshizora'' Visual Novel, going on a summer training camp for their tennis club.]]
