* InterclassFriendship: [[TheOjou Haru]] is best friends with the middle class Akane. Due to Haru having worn the mask of being a RichBitch since elementary school, she occasionally refers to Akane as "commoner" by reflex.

Haru Jigokumeguri, within a week of moving to yet another new high school, becomes isolated from her classmates yet again due to her arrogant behavior.

Compare ''Manga/ICantUnderstandWhatMyHusbandIsSaying'', another OddCouple series from the same author, except with a married couple. [[JustForFun/IThoughtThatWas Not to be confused, confounded, or compared with]] SelfDemonstrating/MojoJojo, the evil villainous bad guy whose name sounds like the title of the foreign Japanese comic that this online internet page describes above and lists tropes it contains below. Also has nothing to do with ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure.''

* BetaCouple: Chris and Akane. They eventually start dating in the quarter of the series.

* RejectingTheInheritance: At the end of the seriesHaru passes on inheriting her family's business empire and lets her little sister have it instead [[spoiler:since they started getting bad PR once the fact that Tsurezure was a former child assassin became public knowledge]]. She ends up founding her own company (with the same name), which would end up being the employer of Kobayashi in ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid''.

* JerkassWoobie: Haru started off as a nice kid, but after [[spoiler: being shunned by her envious elementary school classmates for her social status]], she started acting arrogant to gain attention, even if it would also mean being hated by everyone. [[BecomingTheMask She acted like this for so long that the conceit became deeply rooted into her personality]].

* JerkassFacade: Haru started off as a nice kid, but after [[spoiler: being shunned by her envious elementary school classmates for her social status]], she started acting arrogant to gain attention, even if it would also mean being hated by everyone. [[BecomingTheMask She acted like this for so long that the conceit became deeply rooted into her personality]].

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler: Akane's motivation for befriending Haru was to ease her guilt over ignoring her when she was lonely in middle school.]]

* LoveEpiphany: Haru realized she was in love with Tsurezure when her father told her she was going to have an arranged marriage (or at the very least, it served as the catalyst for her to confess). Later on, Akane tells Haru that she realized she was in love with Chris when [[spoiler: he came to see her during her HeroicBSOD.]]

* TheQuietOne: Though he enjoys conversing to people, Tsurezure is so quiet because he's no good at starting conversations, and the few people he's talked to never talk to him again. He slowly opens up to Haru after enjoying (and admiring) the self-centered conversations she makes with him.

* CanNotSpitItOut: Every time Haru makes an effort to say something genuinely nice or sincere to Tsurezure, she reflexively twists her words into something condescending. She gets a little better about it over time. Best exemplified when she had to basically scream at herself just to confess to Tsurezure, and even then she had to phrase it in the most condescending way just to get the words out.

* LastNameBasis: With the exception of Chris, everyone is referred to by their last name. [[spoiler: Haru and Tsurezure don't switch to FirstNameBasis until chapter 29.]]

* MeaningfulName: Haru's last name, Jigokumeguri, translates to "Tour of Hells". It's a reference to the Hells of Beppu, hotsprings that are used for viewing rather than bathing due to their intense heat. Just like the hells, people refused to interact with Haru because of her harsh personality.

* MeditatingUnderAWaterfall: Tsurezure does this in chapter 23 in an attempt to [[spoiler: become a person worthy of being Haru's boyfriend.]] He somehow attains enlightenment.
** Chris ends up at the same waterfall in the chapter's omake. He also attains enlightenment.

* ShipperOnDeck: Akane Tendou ''very'' much wants Haru and Tsurezure to get together. When they finally do, she takes great pleasure in watching the two of them do things together. Haru's sister and father also seem to approve of their relationship (the former even takes to calling Tsurezure "brother")
** Haru also tries to hook Akane and Chris up with each other in return.

* WhenHeSmiles: After Haru tells Tsurezure her backstory, he shows her an absolutely stunning smile (that he'd been practicing for weeks) to cheer her up. She's so stunned by it that she begs him to do it again.
** During their first date they end up going to a Rakugo show. Haru notices Tsurezure smiling during the performance ---> the first time she's ever seen him smile -- which utterly stuns her.
** Haru does the same thing [[spoiler:after saying she isn't angry at Akane for lying about their ForgottenFirstMeeting.]]

** Kobayashi from ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' [[http://bato.to/reader#10687458a1e260e7_3 appears in chapter 24]].

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: Haru and Tsurezure. [[http://bato.to/reader#11b5da5eb5cc7307_9 A cameo]] in ''Manga/KomorisanCantDecline'' implies that they got married after dating for four years.]]

* BadassesWearBandanas: Tsurezure is almost always seen wearing a bandanna [[spoiler: and is a former child assassin]] (though he didn't get the bandanna until the latter part stopped applying.

-->'''Haru''': What are you doing?
-->'''Akane''': My job?

* WellDoneDaughterGirl: The entire ArrangedMarriage fiasco was caused by Haru's inability to turn down her father (even though he told her she didn't have to go through with it if she didn't want to).

** During their first date they end up going to a Rakugo show. Haru notices Tsurezure smiling during the performance -- the first time she's ever seen him smile -- which utterly stuns her.

** Haru ''thought'' she was this to Aki, but severe MotiveDecay on Aki's turned their relationship into a SiblingRivalry without her noticing.

* ChastityCouple: [[spoiler: Haru and Tsurezure. It took them several weeks to reach the HoldingHands phase, and even longer to reach FirstNameBasis. Both of them want to go further, but their nervousness makes it incredibly difficult. Akane even lampshades how slow they're taking when reading a magazine article on getting a boyfriend.]]
