6	!!Provides examples of the following tropes:

8	* AllWomenAreLustful: Pretty much every female resident of Sunohara-sou is perverted to some degree, and most of them exhibit this by seeing Aki as a cute boy they can treat as a toy.
9	** Nana and Yuri are the worst offenders who have been physical with Aki a fair few times, with Nana even trying to get dirty thoughts into Aki's head when she presents herself.
10	** This also extends to Nana's friends, with Nana using Aki as a bribe to make them do their homework in exchange for them playing with his body however they like for a certain period of time.
11	** Then Aki's older sister, Matsuri, takes it the furtherest of all, seemingly wanting to fetishize Aki as a little sister.
12	* AnimalEaredHeadband: Yuzu has one of the most unusual ones ever seen, wearing a plush chicklet-topped hair loop. She does so due to her HeightAngst in a bid to look taller.

16	* BlandNameProduct: A Website/{{Google}} knockoff appears as "Gaagle".
17	* BrotherSisterIncest: Matsuri Shiina displays very obvious attraction towards Aki, sneaking into his room, climbing onto his bed, and asking him to undress. The weird''-er'' part is she seems to [[LittleSisterHeroine think of him as a little sister]].
18	* CastingGag: This isn't the first time Creator/AiKayano voiced a [[Literature/ThePetGirlOfSakurasou fair-haired girl named Shiina in a series taking place in a students dormitory]].

23	** Sumire also shows this towards Yuzu.
24	* DinnerBathOrSexOffer: Yuzu once describes to Aki the kind of wife she wants to be and has a daydream where she welcomes home her husband with this exact phrase. However after noticing Aki fidgeting she adds "Or maybe you can eat my bath scrubbers instead!" [[{{tsundere}} while throwing them at Aki's head]].
25	* EarCleaning: Ayaka is exceptionally skilled at this, having done this for Nana many times prior to the series.
26	** Upon seeing it, Nana then forces it upon Aki so he can experience Ayaka's ear cleaning too. He ends up falling asleep on her LapPillow.
27	** Later when Matsuri is assessing Ayaka's skills as a caretaker, she experiences ear cleaning as well.

32	** Sumire has this towards Yuzu's apparent {{tsundere}} crush on Aki, being [[ClingyJealousGirl constantly jealous]] of her interest in Aki. At one point she goes so far as to check ''what Aki has that she doesn't''. Yes, we're talking about ''his thing''.
33	** Matsuri who takes it to ClingyJealousGirl levels, not wanting to share Aki with anyone else, especially Ayaka.
