History Literature / TheCaseFilesOfJewelerRichard

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: In the novels, Seigi and Richard are often [[MistakenForGay mistaken to be in a romantic relationship]]. The list of people who think this include [[spoiler: Tanimoto, Homura (Mami’s ex-fiancé and Tanimoto’s ex-potential marriage partner), and even Seigi and Richard’s own family members]]. Both of them take turns to clarify that they're JustFriends. Of course, this has sometimes led to funny consequences. The anime so far has not adapted any of these instances, however.

* {{Motifs}}: Jewels, of course. In the novels, most of the chapters/cases have jewels in their names. The more major characters also tend to have jewels associated with them.

* FirstNameBasis: Richard and Seigi, to each other. To be fair, Richard is a foreigner, and "Ranashinhe de Vulpian-san" is both difficult and too long to say on a regular basis. Also, neither of them use honorifics with each other, though again, Richard was the one who said that he wasn't used to being referred to as "Richard-san".

* HeterosexualLifePartners: By the time volume 9 rolls around, [[spoiler:Seigi wants to at least be this with Richard, if not romantic partners.]] Though it can certainly be argued that the two of them have probably already reached this point earlier.
