(Which is only because of her poor hygiene and self-neglect, and not a dermatological problem ''per se''.) However, later on, it does turn out that Sunako really ''is'' BeautifulAllAlong whenever she gains enough confidence to break out of her SuperDeformed mode.

''YamatoNadeshiko Shichi Henge'' (Perfect Girl Evolution / My Fair Lady) known by fans as ''The Wallflower'' or Yama Nade.

''The Wallflower'' is about Sunako Nakahara, whose first love, in response to her confession told her ''[[KickTheDog "I don't like]] [[BerserkButton ugly girls"]]''. In response, she took to shunning light forever, hiding her face behind long black hair and devoting her life to horror, gore and darkness. That is, until her well-meaning but melodramatic rich Aunt sets Kyohei, Oda, Yuki, and Ranmaru -- her harem of teenage {{Bishonen}} -- on Sunako with the task to turn her into the perfect lady. In exchange for this, they will get free accommodation in her BigFancyHouse whilst the Aunt jets around the world in search of her true love. If they fail, they must pay ''triple'' rent for the accommodations they have used. (With the costs of housing in Japan, this is a dire penalty indeed.)

* EerieAnatomyModel:
** Sunako considers herself a creature of the dark ever since the boy she liked called her ugly. She's basically a {{hikikomori}} whose most important friend is an incomplete anatomy model she's named Hiroshi. As per Chapter 44 (or Episode 20), after she was called ugly she found it among the trash of a school and took it home, which was the start of her macabre collection. Her other friends, in order of importance are the skeleton model Josephine, the limbless anatomy model Akira, and the skull model John. They are joined in Chapter 50 (Episode 18) by another skeleton, George Maximilian du Veloce, who is Josephine's brand new husband. She interacts with them as if they are alive, [[ConsultingMisterPuppet presenting her inner ponderings as their words to her]], and most people close to Sunako join in on that kind of projection. In the anime, Hiroshi is alive as the episode's presentator. He also dances during both outros, and is joined by Akira and Josephine in the second one.
** Sunako visits an abandoned school building in Chapter 25 in the hopes of meeting ghosts, including a walking anatomy model, but to her dismay there aren't any.

Renamed some tropes.


''YamatoNadeshiko Shichi Henge'' (Perfect Girl Evolution / My Fair Lady) known by fans as ''TheWallflower'' or Yama Nade.

''The Wallflower'' is about Sunako Nakahara, whose first love, in response to her confession told her ''[[KickTheDog "I don't like]] [[BerserkButton ugly girls"]]''. In response, she took to shunning light forever, hiding her face behind long black hair and devoting her life to horror, gore and darkness. That is, until her well-meaning but melodramatic rich Aunt sets Kyohei, Oda, Yuki, and Ranmaru -- her harem of teenage {{bishonen}} -- on Sunako with the task to turn her into the perfect lady. In exchange for this, they will get free accommodation in her BigFancyHouse whilst the Aunt jets around the world in search of her true love. If they fail, they must pay ''triple'' rent for the accommodations they have used. (With the costs of housing in Japan, this is a dire penalty indeed.)

Unfortunately for the boys, Sunako has absolutely no intention of playing along with them. She's a Creature of Darkness and damn well proud of it. The issue is made worse because she can't look at "Bright Creatures" like them without getting a [[NoseBleed nose bleed]], and this predictably puts some [[IncrediblyLamePun stains]] on their relationship.

* MagicRealism: Sunako's dark aura that causes lights to dim, bulbs to burst, flowers to wilt, etc. There's also her friend from Hokkaido, Yuki, who is a yuki-onna. And there's [[DemonicPossession possession by ghosts]], too. And a ClassicalMovieVampire, once. And that one time Sunako [[StableTimeLoop traveled through time]] and met [[spoiler:Kyohei]] as a child. So yeah, [[RuleOfCool pretty much anything goes in this series.]]

* TheNoseBleed: Aside from Sunako's reaction to seeing beautiful people, the tenants have a habit of triggering them with half the girls they meet.
* {{Obasan}}: The Landlady is called Auntie by the residents of her mansion (though it's [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in Sunako's case because she really is the Landlady's niece). In the anime's WholeEpisodeFlashback showing how all of the boys came to the mansion, the Landlady visibly jumped and exclaimed "Auntie!?", looking upset when she was called this the first time. In the manga version, however, calling her that added fuel to her already [[UnstoppableRage overflowing rage.]]

* [[SoBeautifulItsACurse So Beautiful, It's A Curse]]: Kyohei actually has a legitimate claim to this, considering how often he's stalked, kidnapped, and sexually harassed because of his looks. [[MillionairePlayboy Ranmaru]] is a bit more [[TheCasanova arrogant about it]], and [[DudeLooksLikeALady Yuki]] sometimes complains of this when he's [[CrossDresser cross dressing]] or not being taken seriously.

* TrueLoveIsExceptional: Kyohei hates girls, but gets along famously with Sunako, whom he regards as a freak. Is this because of true love, as said by the [[ShipperOnDeck Shippers On Deck]]? [[spoiler:Probably.]]
