7	Both incarnations feature a yaoi romantic comedy plot. Ogata, a kind-hearted and hardworking man, loves Takasugi, another man. Takasugi, unknown to Otaka feels similarly - unfortunately, they're both {{Seme}}, and neither has any intention of being {{Uke}}. The manga and OVA highlight their attempts to express this while going on a vacation together.

13	* BetaCouple: Ogata's friend Shikibu and his boyfriend Tsutsumi.
14	* CrushFilter: TheReveal shows that both Ogata and thus the viewers had this the entire time in regards to Takasugi who had appeared as perfect, confident and masculine when he had been messing up the entire time as well from his POV.
15	* DrowningOurRomanticSorrows: Ogata invites Shikibu to an Oden stall for both this and to gather intel on gay relationships.
16	* FallingInLoveMontage: Less a "fall in love" montage as a "courting your love interest" montage, but the beginning of both the OVA and manga still count.
17	* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: Towards the end of the OVA, Ogata and Takasugi have their BigDamnKiss in the bath, followed by Takasugi sliding his face slowly down Ogata's body, obviously arousing him. [[spoiler: He collapsed from the hot water, leading to him almost drowning as Ogata panics]].
18	* IfItsYouItsOkay: By the end of the OVA/first volume, both come to this conclusion. Played with since both never stated it out loud out of pride, leaving them still stuck with their problem.
19	* LoveAtFirstSight: Ogata.
20	* LoveMakesYouDumb: Ogata seems like a capable, mature man...unless he tries to look cool for Takasugi where he runs into an endless HumiliationConga.
21	* {{Seme}}: The major plot point is that ''both'' Ogataa and Takasugi are one, causing the conflict on who tops who.
22	* ThoseTwoGuys: Shikibu and Tsutsumi.
