!!The manga contains examples of following tropes:
* BlowingSmokeRings: Tomo can do this, Ai cannot, despite her best efforts. [[spoiler:After Tomo's death, Ai finally learns this trick, among other things she carries on for Tomo's sake.]]
* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler:Tomo's death is officially declared an accident but it is strongly implied to have been a suicide.]]
* BusCrash[=/=]DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Tomo boards a plane for the States and the next thing we know, she is dead.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:It looks like the situation can be saved until the last moment... and then Tomo leaves and never comes back, leaving Ai unable to love anyone else ever again. Depending on how you look at it, TheStinger makes it slightly better... or a lot creepier.]]
* ForgetsToEat: One time, Ai finds Tomo collapsed in her home and has to take her to the hospital for malnutrition and sleep deprivation. Tomo explains that she was so caught up in her books that she forgot to eat and sleep. [[spoiler:Much later, it is revealed that she actually got too caught up in her "side business".]]
* HairContrastDuo: Ai has long blonde hair and is a diligent and driven student, while Tomo's hair is short and dark, and she is a perfect slacker drifting through life with no particular aspirations.
* IdenticalGrandchild: [[spoiler:More like, Identical Little Sister. In TheStinger, Ai meets Tomo's younger sister who looks and behaves just like her.]]
* IncrediblyLamePun: Upon learning Ai's name, Tomo blurts out a rather lame joke about how their kanji make up a prefecture name together, and is immediately embarrassed by it.
* IndirectKiss: Tomo and Ai share one early on, when Tomo lights her cigarette off Ai's.
* LastKiss: [[spoiler:Tomo shares her first and last kiss with Ai in the last chapter, then leaves, and the next time we hear of her is her death report.]]
* LikeFatherLikeSon: Tomo is perfectly aware how much she is like her sleazebag of a father, and is not thrilled by it.
* MustHaveNicotine: Tomo and Ai are both chain smokers, and in fact, their common vice helps them bond at the early stages. Smoking in general is a prominent motif in the manga.
* {{Nerd}}: Both Tomo and Ai's interests revolve around literature and philosophy.
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:Tomo's body is never found after her "accident"-slash-suicide.]]
* NotGoodWithPeople: Ai sees most people as too boring or too fickle to interact with. Tomo is pretty much the first person she has ever been interested in.
* TheOldestProfession: [[spoiler:Tomo eventually reveals that in order to earn enough cash to leave the country, she pimped out young women she knew to her father's old and rich friends, joining them if they wanted for extra cash. She draws a clear line when it comes to Ai, however.]]
* ParentalIncest[=/=]NotBloodRelated: [[spoiler:After her father remarried, Tomo had a brief affair with his young wife--her new stepmother--during his frequent business trips. It ended when Tomo's half-brother was born.]]
* PosthumousSibling: TheStinger is reveals that [[spoiler:Tomo's parents had a daughter after her death who looks and behaves just like her]].
* SempaiKohai: Tomo tries to enforce this in her relationship with Ai but quickly lets it go.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: Ai's natural beauty is an endless source of frustration for her, since she is not interested in becoming anyone's trophy wife, like everyone assumes she would, given her looks. [[spoiler:In the end, she grows to accept it, however, and even considers it a boon, since it would fetch a good price for Tomo, if she pimps her out--even though this mere suggestion freaks Tomo out immensely.]]
* StoicSpectacles: Tomo wears them, complement to her cool and distant personality. [[spoiler:After the TimeSkip, Ai starts wearing them too, as part of her efforts to live on for Tomo's sake.]]
* TrophyWife: Tomo strongly suspects that her father's second wife was picked mainly for her good looks and her ability to keep the house without complaining during his frequent business trips.
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Having never experienced love or even just strong affection for another human being, Ai takes a long time to realize what her feelings for Tomo are, exactly.
