* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: It looks like Ibusuki prepared to tell Tarou about her actually being a girl and confess her love to him, but she stops herself with the former, and she intentionally drowns out her voice with the sound of festival drums so Tarou won't hear for the latter situation.
* AllJustADream: In chapter 20, after being hit by a football, Tarou wakes up holding hands with Eve, who has suddenly materialized, and immediately goes for a kiss with her. Then he ''really'' wakes up, and the "girl" he's about to kiss is a quite few decades older.
* ChubbyChaser: Peppy gyaru Mimata Noa has a thing for chubby boys and turns out to be attracted to Miyakanojou Shizuka, a fat otaku who also fell for her but is in denial. [[spoiler:They manage to hook up with Tarou's help. She is infuriated when he slims down.]]



* HeCleansUpNicely: Tarou does his part in getting the female vote by dressing up and getting shoes to give him more height. He does look better, but the trope is subverted; he's still rather plain compared to Ibusuki and the handsome ladykiller Koigaura, which serves to make them stand out in comparison.
* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: In Chapter 80, Ebino's parents ask her if either Tarou or Ibusuki is dating her. She has to repeatedly insist that she's not, but her family thinks it's going to happen one way or another anyway.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tarou is quite cynical, calculating and egocentric, but he occasionally shows signs of caring more than he lets on for the loves of people around him.



* LoveEpiphany: After the school play, Ebino finally admits to herself that she's fallen in love with Tarou.
* MistakenForGay: Thinking that he will make Eve disappear, Tarou hurriedly goes to confess his love to Ibusuki. Of course, since he isn't really in love, it doesn't work... but now the whole school thinks he likes guys. After a while, he gets tired of trying to refute the rumors and decides to just go with it instead.



* TheMatchmaker: Tarou ends up having to play this role, much to his own dismay.



* RoseHairedSweetie: Eve is a sweet, joyful and slightly ditzy girl, representing Tarou's ideal. But unlike most other first love zombies, she has developed a consciousness of her own.



* UnsettlingGenderReveal: During the school play, Ebino runs into Ibusuki just as she was changing.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Ibusuki Ririto is a guy, but his mother made him wear girl's clothes when he was a child. Tarou isn't too pleased about the reveal. It turns out Ibusuki ''is'' a girl, but pretends to be a guy to prevent other guys from crushing on her and seeing First Love Zombies of herself. So she's a girl crossdressing as a guy who pretends he used to crossdress as a girl.

->''Love is the ultimate source of exhaustion. Why would I spend all that mental and physical energy?''
-->--Tarou

Life is simple for Kurume Tarou: he does his best to spend as little energy as possible on anything, let alone love, traumatized by his mother's obsession in making him do all sorts of activities during his childhood. Alas, one day he is hit on the head by a baseball during a PE class, leaving him with a severe concussion.

When he wakes up at the infirmary, he is welcomed by a pink-haired, cheerful, well-endowed and scantily clad girl who's seemingly floating in the air. Not only that, he starts to see similar "ghosts" around countless boys, and finds out that they are fantasized versions of the first girl they loved. And Eve represents Tarou's own first love. The very same day, a NewTransferStudent arrives: Ibusuki Ririto, who is supposed to be the basis for Eve… [[UnsettlingGenderReveal except for the fact he's actually a guy.]]

Not helping Tarou's case is the fact that while usually unconscious, the "first love zombies" are not always harmless. And also that Ibusuki seems to hold a mysterious grudge against him. The poor Tarou will have to struggle to understand the first love zombies and settle his relationship with Ibusuki, so that he can get back his precious energy-saving lifestyle. Since one way of erasing the zombies is to fullfil the person's first love, Tarou reluctantly decides to play matchmaker for the people around him.

Drawn by Minenami Ryou (who is doing his first series), ''Hatsukoi Zombie'' is a romantic comedy running in the Weekly Shonen Sunday since November 2015.
