Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup; no example of "Nanaka" being used officially


* SpellMyNameWithAnS: She gives Taichi a business card romanizing her name as "Nanaca". This also appears in the official artbook and in the fangame ''VideoGame/NanacaCrash''.

* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: Taichi is overtly a dark and off-kilter riff on the "Wacky Playboy" character, which was a common go-to characterization for {{Player Character}}s in {{Dating Sim}}s throughout the 1990s. Taichi constantly keeps everyone around him on their toes with mad-cap antics and pranks, doesn't hold much, if any respect for personal boundaries (especially not those of of any girls who happen to come into his vicinity), is always angling to get into the pants of members of the opposite sex, loves to tell dirty jokes, and generally acts in pretty socially unacceptable ways. Yet everyone else are strangely forgiving of and even willing to go along with his strange behavior and shenanigans. But where the Dating Sim genre by and large tends to treat these traits as charming quirks that are overtly meant to endear the Player Character to the player by allowing them to be somewhat of a WishFulfillment character, Taichi's antics are played for discomfort instead, and are meant signs that he suffers from some kind of personality disorder and is really a SadClown at heart. Something that is increasingly hammered home when the story begins to delve into his DarkAndTroubledPast and show how he became this way.
