* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: [[spoiler:Most of the manga presents Takatsuki as a counterpart to trans girl Nitori and depicts them as a transgender boy. In high school, the line starts to blur and ultimately they come to the conclusion they would rather live as a girl, though they're still depicted as confused over their gender. Considering the situations surrounding the revelation and the bittersweet way it's presented, fans are stumped. WordOfGod is that it's up to the reader on whether they see them as trans or not.]]

* BerserkButton: Bullying Shuuichi. Also, his period and, to a lesser extent, other physical or social aspects of femininity coming from his biologically being female. Teasing him about it made some boys in his elementary school seriously beaten. He's generally only tough in situations he feels pressured in.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: He has black eyes (presumably stylized brown) and black hair.
* DCupDistress: He hates it when his breasts begin to grow. He even goes to buy a binder to flatten his chest so that he does not have to wear a bra.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: He attracts a lot of guys, albeit ones that see him as a girl.

* HeightAngst: He's tall for a girl but wishes he was taller.
* HotForTeacher: He seems a bit confused about whether it was a crush or not. He felt pressured by everyone else to have a crush on somebody, but other people thought he fell for a teacher in middle school.
