| 1 | !! General tropes |

| 3 | |
| 4 | * GrowingTheBeard: Early stories, even though exhibiting a nice amount of work done, might still come off as a little generic (hence all the ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' comparisons). Then ''Haruka 3'' picked up a specific historical event complete with {{Public Domain Character}}s, made the main character more of an ActionGirl and played with some of the plot elements inherited from its predecessors. It is by far the most popular entry in the series. |
| 5 | * HoYay: The Hachiyou, to various degrees. Naturally, fanfiction tends to, [[SlashFic ahem]], exaggerate this... |
| 6 | * HoYayShipping: Goes without saying -- eight pretty guys already bonded in pairs is every YaoiFangirl's dream. Particularly popular 'ships among the first game's cast are the Byakko pair (Takamichi/Tomomasa) and the Genbu pair (Eisen/Yasuaki). The former two do exhibit enough generic HoYay, but the latter pair provides additional interest due to the possibility of exploring Yasuaki's emotional development -- even though canonically they only develop into real friends in the anime; manga!Eisen seems to think that Yasuaki is scary. |
| 7 | * TaintedByThePreview: ''Haruka 5'' initially caused a lot of disappointment due to changing the voice cast and skipping over to the Bakumatsu Period, to the point that some fans have voiced an opinion that it should have been a new series rather than a continuation (by analogy with ''VideoGame/NeoAngelique''). Of course, as more info was revealed, things turned out to be a lot less dramatic. |
| 8 | * TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: So. Very. Much. Was really worth mentioning right on the main page due to sheer persistency, as one of the first things people outside Japan learn about ''Haruka'' is that it's ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'' with SerialNumbersFiledOff. Nevermind that this opinion is often only based on the manga/anime adaptation of the first game, and the series has been GrowingTheBeard for quite a long time since. |
| 9 | * TheWoobie: Many of the Hachiyou have tragic backstories in one way or another. Quite understandable as this character type is intended to be liked by the audience -- which is sort of the point here since ''Haruka'' is a RomanceGame series and has to give its characters traits that could attract the player. |

| 11 | !! TearJerker: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * The end of ''Hachiyou Shou'' TV episode seven, particularly when Yorihisa hugs Akane and asks her not to look at him for a while, after he assists his childhood friend in performing SuicideByCop. Yorihisa's ImageSong as the EndingTheme makes it even worse. |
