11	Maki's first love was her high school classmate, Midori. But Midori broke up with Maki on graduation day, saying they were "too old to be fooling around dating girls".

But Midori's dreamy life isn't all that it seems...
12	----
13	!!''Kakeochi Girl'' contains examples of:
14	* TheBabyTrap: [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-inverted]] with Tazune, since it is all but stated that he got Midori pregnant on purpose by "suggesting" (read: pressuring her into) unprotected sex.
15	* TheBeard: [[spoiler: Komari's boyfriend, who doesn't know she's gay.]]
16	* BitchInSheepsClothing: People look at Tazune and easily take him for a kind, mild-mannered young man. He's really a self-centered, controlling, smug and all around nasty piece of work who sees women as prospective scapegoats for his anger at having been unpopular in high school. Yeah, you read that right.
17	* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Midori. Small glimpses into her past homelife demonstrate that what family she may have had were frequently absent. In the present, this is the only reason why she stays with Tazune. Until she meets Maki again, that is.
18	* DomesticAbuse: Tazune already manipulates and belittles Midori on the regular, but it seems like he has even worse in store when he hits her for [[DisproportionateRetribution laughing in a way that he finds annoying]].
19	* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: What's that, Tazune? You treat women with scorn because girls didn't like you in high school? [[SarcasmMode How sad]].
20	* FuroScene: In Chapter 9, there is a scene where Maki, Midori and Komari are relaxing in Komari's family bath.
21	* {{Gayngst}}: Maki gets hit with a lot throughout the series. From the beginning, Midori breaks up with her right after their graduation because they are adults. Also,[[spoiler: Komari, with her having a boyfriend despite being a lesbian.]]
22	* GreenEyedMonster: Midori's colleague Domyo [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter is in love with Tazune]], and ends up snitching on Midori and Maki with photo evidence of the two of them sharing a kiss. [[AllForNothing It doesn't work out the way she'd hoped]].
23	* HappilyEverAfter: [[spoiler: Maki and Midori get theirs, and bring up Midori's child together.]]
24	* IWantGrandkids: Maki's Mother.
25	%%* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: Tazune.]]
26	* {{Misogyny}}: [[spoiler: Tazune sees women as inherently weak and easy to win over with a few pretty words.]]
27	* ShotgunWedding: Tazune suggests getting married after he finds out that Midori is pregnant with his child.
28	* StepfordSmiler: Midori. On paper, she is all set for a perfect life, and thinks she ''should'' be happy, but she isn't. A chance meeting with her high school sweetheart Maki gives her a taste of how it once felt to be truly happy.
29	* SympatheticAdulterer: [[spoiler: While Midori didn't fully commit adultery (she doesn't sleep with Maki until after she's left Tazune), her actions (running away with another woman and kissing her) could be considered cheating. However, we see how Tazune treats her badly, constantly belittling her and even hitting her, and it's clear the two aren't actually in love with each other in the same way Maki and Midori are.]]
30	* TimeSkip: [[spoiler: The last chapter fast-forwards about fifteen years to Midori's daughter Kon running away from home after [[YoureNotMyFather a fight with Maki]]. The only main character to appear is a now older Komari, while Maki and Midori are only heard on a phone call from Kon. Tazune doesn't appear either, but Kon states that he is a part of her life, if a bit of a DisneylandDad.]]
31	* TragicMistake: [[spoiler: When Midori "falls for" Tazune and started dating him.]]
32	* WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou : [[spoiler: In Chapter 6, Tazune smacks Midori hard enough that it gives her a nosebleed, blaming his actions on her "moronic laughter".]]
33	* WoundedGazelleGambit: [[spoiler: Tazune's last tactic to get Midori to stay with him is to bring up his past "trauma" regarding women to try to get her to feel sorry for him, and while she admits that she actually does; [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse it's just not a good enough reason to stay.]]]]
