20	!!This manga provides examples of:
21
22	%% * AttractiveBentGender: ''Everyone''.
23	%% * AudienceSurrogate: The protagonist is to people who aren't familiar with crossdressing.
24	%% * BerserkButton: Don't ever call Tsubaki a king.
25	%%* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tsubaki
26	%%* BishieSparkle
27	%% * BrutalHonesty: Matsuyuki dishes it out.
28	%% * CutShort: The series seemed to have more that it wanted to cover before its sudden TimeSkip ending.
29	%% * CuteLittleFangs: Matsuyuki
30	* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Deconstructed. Tsubaki looks so pretty as a girl that he often gets propositioned by guys, but he hates this, because he knows they're only lying to themselves that a pretty guy is 'as good as a girl' when the two things are completely different and will ultimately end up breaking up once everyone goes back to the real world.
31	%% * ExpressiveHair: Shuu.
32	* {{Gayngst}}: Played pretty realistically with Natsume. He knows that the fact that they're both guys doesn't mean it's impossible for [[spoiler:him and Shuu]] to be together. He also knows that he's the son of a famous businessman and that things like that really do matter in the real world.
33	%% * IdiotHair: Shuu again.
34	%% * LargeHam: The principal.
35	* MaybeEverAfter: Shuu and Tsubaki don't officially hook up by the end, but the manga leaves open the possibility that they do.
36	%%* MistakenForGay: Natsume.
37	* NoRomanticResolution: The series ends without anyone hooking up, though it's hinted that Shuu and Tsubaki might get together.
38	%% * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Matsuyuki.
39	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Defied by the principal and averted by the allowance system she puts into place which forbids outside monetary help from the students' parents and instead is determined by students' grades. No pass, no cash.
40	%%* ShonenAi: Discussed and somewhat deconstructed.
41	* ShownTheirWork: Chapter Two has a tutorial on basic makeup for crossdressers, all in character. The next few chapters sneak a few more in, like hair extensions.
42	* TimeSkip: The final chapter takes place after everyone's graduated and entered college.
43	%% * UnsettlingGenderReveal: How Shuu meets Tsubaki and Matsuyuki.
44	%% * WholesomeCrossdresser: ''Everyone'' at the school, as they're required to do so every few weeks.
45	* WitnessProtection: A non-governmental version. The school is for students who are the sons of the rich or the influential (such as politicians) to avoid the media and other unwanted attention over the scandals of their parents or their own. Most students go under fake names, though Shuu overlooked that part on the application.
