Cool Loser TRS cleanup, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.


* CoolLoser: Rou is an attractive and artistic teen who should have lots of friends, and seemingly does off screen. However, he invokes the trope by avoiding them and looking down on people at school because he feels he's more mature than them due to his relationship with Shinako, and prioritizes her over his social life.

* LoveTriangle: Haru likes Rikuo, who sort of likes her but is more in love with Shinako. Shinako is friends with Rikuo and enjoys his company, but is still fixated on her dead high school crush. Meanwhile, Rou is also in love with Shinako and is far more assertive about pursuing her than Rikuo is.

Dewicking as Static Character is now Definition Only.


* StaticCharacter: Shinako's character is defined by her obsession with her dead crush and her sense of obligation towards his family. Her character arc focuses on moving on from the past and trying to develop her own life, but she keeps spinning her wheels and remaining in the same emotional place. The end of the anime has her [[spoiler: doing the same thing she has done throughout the whole show-- rejecting Rikuo so she can continue to visit Rou, without any resolution of their strange relationship, even though it's hinted that even Rou might have moved on.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Rio plays this role for Rou. Their relationship begins as a platonic one where she occasionally models for him, but sooner or later she asks him to date her for a while. [[spoiler:She even gives him the opportunity to live with her for two years abroad, but she makes him promise that if he still has feelings for Shinako by the end of the two years, he's free to leave her. He does, so he leaves.]]

** Rou is this to Shinako. even though Shinako has made it clear she sees him like a brother, eagerly spends as much time with her as possible and periodically makes grand, angry displays where he demands that she return his feelings. ** The most explicitly successful of any of the cast in this trope is one of Rou's art school friends, but unlike everyone else this is played squarely for laughs. He falls in love with a girl who smashes her own statues, and despite getting beaten by her every time he tries to ask her out, he eventually snags her when he touches upon her insecurities and gets her to cry.

* DoggedNiceGuy: Almost everyone. Early on, Rikuo tells Haru he's not interested in her, but she decides to pursue him anyway, and spends a lot of time bringing him leftovers, showing up at his work, and arranging "accidental" run-ins with him in the hopes that he will change his mind. Meanwhile Rikuo loves Shinako despite her rejecting him both in college and at the beginning of the story, and hangs around her maintaining an uneasy friendship while he hopes for more, periodically taking tentative steps to advance the relationship. And Rou, even though Shinako has made it clear she sees him like a brother, eagerly spends as much time with her as possible and periodically makes grand, angry displays where he demands that she return his feelings.

Rikuo isn't exempt from this trope, either. He loves Shinako despite her rejecting him both in college and at the beginning of the story, and hangs around her maintaining an uneasy friendship while he hopes for more, periodically taking tentative steps to advance the relationship. And Rou, relationship.
