* LoveTriangle: Chi is torn between her current partner Tooru and the new, exciting Long Long Man.

* AffectionateParody: Of Japanese dramas, especially since much of the series' conflict is driven by ''gummy candy'', of all things.

See all of the commercials put together [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER5_-r2vSi8 here]]. Note that, as mentioned above, the plot goes through a surprising amount of twists and turns for an advertising campaign, so '''beware of spoilers below!'''

* {{Foreshadowing}}: RuleOfSymbolism gives away the final twist in the very first spot. [[spoiler: The only ones we ever see eating the candy are Chi-chan and the Long Long Man. If we take the DoubleEntendre and run with it, this is the earliest hint that the Long Long Man is gay.]]
** There's also a subtle one, where Chi starts flirting with the Long Long Man while he's delivering the sweets to her at her apartment; [[spoiler: his body language and facial expressions make him seem very uncomfortable with the situation, indicating that he's not reciprocating her feelings.]]

* IncompatibleOrientation: The final commercial reveals that [[spoiler:the Long Long Man is gay, and the reason why he was always found near Chi is because he was actually looking at Tooru.]]

** Chi's expression [[spoiler:when she finds out that Long Long Man wants Tooru and not her, not long after she dumps the latter a second time, no less.]]

* RapidFireNo: Chi shouts this [[spoiler:when she sees Long Long Man and Tooru sharing their Sakeru Gummy with one another. This is not long after she attempted to dump the latter.]]

* SecretlyDying: It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:Chi is actually ill and doesn't have long to live. This is why she loves long things so much because they make her think of a long life. However, the next segment heavily implies it was [[SubvertedTrope just an excuse for her to get out of trouble with Tooru]].]]

Tooru-san and Chi-chan are a happy couple who love eating Sakeru Gummy candy together. However, their love life is thrown into chaos when they encounter the Long Long Man, who eats Long Sakeru Gummy (which is one long strip of candy, instead of several smaller ones like the regular version). Chi-san finds herself conflicted between her current relationship with Tooru and her love of long things which the Long Long Man can satisfy.

* BaitAndSwitch: The series shows how infatuated Chi is becoming with the Long Long Man - [[spoiler: but ends with the man approaching ''Tooru'' over their shared love of Sakeru Gummies.]]

* MalingeringRomancePloy: After she's seemingly caught in an affair with Long Long Man, Chi reveals to Tooru that [[spoiler:she's SecretlyDying, and that she has an affinity for long things because it makes her think that her lifespan might be longer]]. However, it's implied that she faked her illness in order to get Tooru to propose to her.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Chi gets hers [[spoiler:after dumping Tooru for Long Long Man a second time, and ''on their own wedding day'', no less.

He then begins wooing and sharing Sakeru Gummy with him instead, leaving her empty-handed and pretty much a pariah in front of her friends and family at the wedding.]]

* MovingRightThrough: In the final commercial, [[spoiler:the Long Long Man shows up to Chi and Tooru's wedding. When he starts giving a LoveConfession, Chi immediately assumes that it's directed towards her, and dumps Tooru at the altar... [[SorryImGay only for the Long Long Man to walk past her and go for Tooru]]]].

* SecretlyDying: It's eventually revealed that [[spoiler:Chi is actually ill and doesn't have long to live. This is why she loves long things so much, because they make her think of a long life. However, the next segment heavily implies it was [[SubvertedTrope just an excuse for her to get out of trouble with Tooru]].]]

* {{Netorare}}: Parodied, except instead of an actual affair it's with Sakeru Gummy.

* RunawayBride: DoubleSubverted the final ad. Throughout the whole series, Chi, who is in a relationship with Tooru, lusts after the Long Long Man. [[spoiler:When the Long Long Man shows up at their wedding, Chi decides that she'd rather be with him than Tooru, breaking up with her boyfriend right there at the alter. Unfortunately for her, [[IncompatibleOrientation the Long Long Man is gay]] and actually came to deliver a confession to ''Tooru'', so she just ends up ruining her relationship without accomplishing anything... but then Tooru decides that ''he'' loves the Long Long Man and ends up with ''him''.]]

* ADayInTheLimelight: The final commercial is from Long Long Man's perspective, helping to explain his motivations and actions throughout the prior segments.
