Added DiffLines:

** In Chapter 148, Seo performs [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Polnareff's "Your underwear is showing" handsigns]], with the same translation issues. Cash Money Chiyo managed to convey the message as "Pan" (onomatopoeia for clapping) "cheese" (peace sign like posing for a picture) "Gimme" (touching hands with someone else) "a look" (looking around).


Added DiffLines:

** Mikoshiba reiterates his belief about dating sims being this trope in Chapter 81, where Waka and Mayu not caring about the actual love interests in his favorite game drives him into a rage.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: In Chapter 148, Seo performs [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Polnareff's]] "Your underwear is showing" hand signs. Like in that series, the gag's punchline comes in the form of [[NotSoAboveItAll a usually straitlaced character (in this case Waka) getting it instantly]].

* PageTurnSurprise: {{Discussed|Trope}} and {{parodied|Trope}}. After Miyako explains the concept to Sakura, Nozaki, [[CentipedesDilemma despite having been using the trope correctly his entire career]], suddenly becomes obsessed with working one into his next chapter, coming up with such inane ways to "surprise" the readers as having his heroine directly BreakTheFourthWall to tell them that there's a surprise on the next page, "revealing" things that are foundational to the premise of his manga, and arbitrarily cutting off random sentences to finish them on the following page.

* AgeLift: The Chinese live-action adaptation changed the main cast from high schoolers to university students.

to:

* AgeLift: The Chinese live-action adaptation changed the main cast from high schoolers to university students. This is out of pragmaticism since the Chinese high-school curriculum is so much of a TrainingFromHell (discussed in that trope's Real Life section) that no Chinese viewer can reasonably believe a Chinese high-school student can have the time, effort, and/or [[EducationMama parental support]] to become a professional SequentialArtist.

** Another one, with the same cast, takes place in Chapter 147. This time, the girls make a deliberate point to invite Ryousuke, since they just found out he got a girlfriend and a girl's night out is the best way to get him to talk about her. Once Seo brings up the plan, she and Sakura [[CallBack briefly reminisce about how un-girl's night out-y their previous one went]].

** From Chapter 81, there's ''Doki Doki [[LuckyCharmsTitle ♡]] Rainbow Parfait!'', a classic style DatingSim with StatGrinding and schedule management in the vein of ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial''. It's Mikoshiba's favorite game, so naturally he gets upset when Wakamatsu and Mayu fail despite the low difficult and [[SidetrackedByTheGoldSaucer ignore the girls in favor of the sports tournament]].

Kuudere is no longer a trope.


* {{Kuudere}}: Nozaki tries writing about one. After he uses Sakura as a model, the the heroine turns into an {{Adorkable}} girl who's very poorly faking her ice personality.

Three TRS efforts


** Parodied in Chapter 32 when Nozaki receives an over the top DatingSim from his editor and decides to play it with Hori and Wakamatsu. The trio soon becomes amazed by the persistence of the female lead in chasing the cast of largely {{Jerkass}} yet [[{{Bishounen}} guys]].

* {{Bishonen}}: Most guys in the series to date, aside from Hori (allegedly), Miyamae and Nozaki, are slim attractive guys. Hori's explicitly not considered to be a bishounen by at least one character, supposedly due to his small height, but thanks to GenericCuteness kicking in he's hardly less attractive than his fellow taller cast and so can still count; Nozaki is still good-looking (at least to Sakura) but is a bit overly muscled by normal standards, to his despair (he can't use himself to model for his manga because he's not the right body type); and Miyamae is overweight, albeit ''only'' when Maeno is in his life -- at times he's away from Maeno he can fall into this trope as he becomes skinnier and looks more conventionally handsome.



* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Downplayed. Of the 7 main characters, 4 are boys and 3 are girls, but all the boys are some flavor of {{Bishonen}} except Nozaki, who's a {{Hunk}}, and one of the girls (Kashima) is a {{Bifauxnen}}.

* QuirkyWork: InUniverse Miyako's manga end up as such due to Maeno always pushing for the inclusion of tanuki, no matter how out of place they are given the genre.



* SenpaiKohai:
** Since Wakamatsu is the only first year in the group, he treats the others as his sempais, but Nozaki has his particular respect, as the latter was the captain of the middle school's basketball team.
** Hori is referred to as Sempai by the rest of the group not only because of his age--he's the only senior in the main cast--but also due to the prestige of the drama club.
** Miyamae and Maeno are the same age and even knew each other in school, but Maeno has two more years of experience in the manga industry, technically making him a sempai to Miyamae. The latter deeply resents it.
** Mayu respects Wakamatsu as an upperclassman who plays sport. For this reason he's the only older character he doesn't call by his first name ("Wakamatsu-senpai"), which Mikoshiba picks up on.



* WidgetSeries: InUniverse Miyako's manga end up as such due to Maeno always pushing for the inclusion of tanuki, no matter how out of place they are given the genre.



*** When Hori has to think of someone to match Suzuki's [[{{Bishonen}} good-looking popular guy]] traits, he thinks of [[{{Bifauxnen}} Kashima]] and insists on using a sparkly screentone for all his scenes because [[DotingParent "if it were Kashima she would shine in every scene"]].

* EsotericHappyEnding: {{Discussed|Trope}} by the characters in Chapter 123, where Mikoshiba guides Nozaki and Sakura through the world of "Happy-Bad Endings", which are basically the trope done [[InvokedTrope on purpose]]. Examples given include "The Heroine and her Love Interest spend the rest of their lives together... trapped in a dream world while their friends and families mourn their comatose bodies", "The Hero [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl saves the Heroine]], but she's an ApocalypseMaiden and the world is destroyed", "The village is saved by the Hero and Heroine both making [[HeroicSacrifice heroic sacrifices]]", and the ever popular "The Heroine is kidnapped by a {{Yandere}}, but she's [[StockholmSyndrome mindbroken]] and convinced that it's a romantic happy end".
