!!Tropes associated with Hanasakeru Seishōnen:
* BeleagueredAssistant: Toranosuke can never get Kajika to listen to anything he says, making guarding her very difficult.
* {{Bishonen}}: Given [[HaremGenre the nature of the series]], these are naturally all over the place. But particular mention goes to Lee-Leng, Eugene, Rumaty, and Carl.
* ButtMonkey: Poor, poor Toranosuke...
* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler: Eugene. Bonus points for the fact that he wanted to die the same age as his mother committed suicide due to a complicated revenge plot on the part of Volkan. His suicide is averted by Kajika, though.]]
** Not to mention [[spoiler: the three women Eugene drove to suicide pre-series.]]
* FishOutOfWater: When Kajika returns to the world at large after being raised on an isolated island for 12 years, she's a little ignorant of social standards.
* StrangeGirl: Kajika, due to both being raised on a remote island most of her life and being extremely headstrong.
