Added DiffLines:

* FormalCharactersUseKeigo: Richard's Japanese with customers is ''extremely'' formal and polite to match his behavior and upperclass background, along with his ever-present suits, although the formality drops off some when he speaks to characters like Seigi more casually and even swears in English at his own cousins.

Added DiffLines:

* BeautifulSexualAssaultVictim: Early on, Richard's appearance is implied to have caused him a ''lot'' of issues with sexual harassment, and he is always the victim of unwanted drooling and inappropriate stares. And indeed, in volume 7, a distant relative of his is introduced who has ''never'' been able to keep his hands off the beautiful Richard and seems to have no interest in trying, seeing Richard only as another beautiful object for him to own.

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Richard dislikes his appearance a lot, because he feels that people don't look beyond his face and see him for himself. In the novels, it's mentioned that he [[spoiler:has a fear of mirrors, possibly due to this trope. Richard had also considered scarring himself before.]] Taken UpToEleven in volume 7 where [[spoiler:Amen, a distant relative, touches Richard inappropriately because he likes pretty things. It's even worse when Richard says Amen's had his eye on him since Richard was young.]]

* SweetTooth: Extremely. Richard loves royal milk tea and sweets, and often sends Seigi to buy them. Later, he also really loves Seigi's pudding. The anime takes it UpToEleven, and always shows Richard eating desserts while Seigi eats normal meals. It's joked among fans that Richard doesn't eat normal food at all and only eats sweet things. In the official fanbook, [[spoiler:Seigi expresses concern for Richard's health with the amount of sweets he consumes.]]
