History Characters / TheAngelNextDoorSpoilsMeRotten

* {{Tsundere}}: On the dere side, as she's ''very'' meek about the idea of anyone romancing her and tends to get hit hard by Amane's kindness or compliments. Bits of tsun come out every once in a while, but it's never in a serious manner, such as feeling like she's being teased and lightly slapping Amane's arm harmlessly. Once she comes to terms with her feelings, it's nothing ''but'' a sweet-hearted dere from there when she isn't playing the straight part of a StraightManAndWiseGuy dynamic with him.

* AbusiveParents: It's clear from early subjects that anything bringing him her parents is a proverbial landmine of a topic that instantly sours her mood, causing Amane to steer clear while he can until Mahiru opens up more about it on her own. [[spoiler:Turns out she's a victim of ParentalNeglect so bad that they don't celebrate her birthdays, don't call her ''by name'', and don't even seem to care for her ''existing'' beyond tuition and living expenses. This is actually the catalyst of the plot, as Amane finding her on the TraumaSwing crying in the rain was entirely because she was suffering a HeroicBSOD over this.]]

* {{Irony}}: Amane admired her for the longest time, mostly from a distance, but when they start getting closer together, he tries to keep some of that distance for both their sakes as well as [[spoiler:personal insecurities lingering from middle school]]. Mahiru didn't even spare Amane a glance until he helped her, and ends up being the one to rapidly fall in love with Amane the more they interact as well as the one ready to actually pursue the relationship.

* AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:The [[ParentalNeglect neglectful kind]] who straight up would prefer to act like she doesn't exist rather than bother with her and do the bare minimum to pay for her tuition and living expenses, to the point of not even meeting up on the holidays or her birthdays, which is why she became so proficient at handling herself as a result -- while also feeling the trauma of the idea that no one would actually love her, hence her early aloofness. The series even ''starts'' because she verged on a HeroicBSOD due to this and Amane caught her sitting on a TraumaSwing in the rain, uncharacteristically crying to herself.]]

* {{Irony}}: Amane had a silent crush on Mahiru for the longest time, but mostly from a distance and one he decided never to act on for both their sakes as well as [[spoiler:personal insecurities lingering from middle school]]. Mahiru didn't even spare Amane a glance until he helped her, and ends up being the one to rapidly fall in love with Amane the more they interact as well as the one ready to actually pursue the relationship.

* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Most people at the school idolize her but don't see Mahiru for who she is, and [[spoiler:her parents simply do not care about her one bit.]] So once Amane actually approaches her as an equal rather than any sort of fan and with no strings or favors attached, Mahiru starts to get any possible excuse she can find to interact with him more without even realizing she was doing it, before eventually realizing she fell in love.

* {{Irony}}: Amane had a silent crush on Miharu for the longest time, but mostly from a distance and one he decided never to act on for both their sakes as well as [[spoiler:personal insecurities lingering from middle school]]. Miharu didn't even spare Amane a glance until he helped her, and ends up being the one to rapidly fall in love with Amane the more they interact as well as the one ready to actually pursue the relationship.
