* CovertPervert: [[ShrinkingViolet Akari]] gets more and more funny ideas the more she likes the protagonist. It [[{{Squick}} gets disturbing]] [[FridgeHorror when you realize]] she's also one of the three girls in the game who are [[TokenMiniMoe underage]]. Goes [[UpToEleven way over the top]] after she falls in love with him:

* HollywoodNerd: Riho, the studious go-getter, looks almost exactly the same as her much more popular older sister, Shihoko. Only Shihoko's looks are commented on (though the protagonist can note that Riho is quite pretty herself, but this will cost you some points with her.)

* PantyShot: Unseen by the player, but one scene with Tsubasa has her tripping, accidentally exposing her underwear to the protagonist.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair:
** Chiemi has pink hair.
** Keika has green hair.
** Tsubasa has purple hair.
** Shihoko and Riho both have hot pink hair.

* InJoke: The dev team has made a habit of referring to the Content Creation guidelines as an [[TheMaker object of worship]], cracking [[GettingCrapPasttheRadar subtle]](or [[ThatsWhatSheSaid not]] [[DoubleEntendre at]] [[IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow all]] [[HehHehYouSaidX subtle]]) dirty jokes [[ComicallyMissingThePoint out of context]], as well as blatant references to the ''VideoGame/MightAndMagic'' series and various bits of [[{{Otaku}} Japanese pop culture]] [[GeniusBonus nobody but them ever understands]] at every opporturnity, both in the game and especially on the forums.

* SecondYearProtagonist: Helloinsertnamehere is in second year. Miki, Keika, and Riho are in their second year as well.

One day at school, [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent NamelessProtagonist]] (well, his default name is Kazuhiko) agreed to a bet proposed by his childhood friend Miki, following a conversation regarding their respective skill (or lack thereof) at finding someone to date. Under the conditions of the bet, the two of them would be given 101 days to find and hold onto a significant other. If either of them were to succeed at these criteria while the other failed, they would be considered the victor.

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Literally every male character in the game. Only the girls have character portraits.

* SchoolIdol: Shihoko is the most popular girl at school and she is idolised by both genders.

* ShrinkingViolet: Akari

* {{Tsundere}}: Miki, Riho.

** Tsubasa has purple hair.

* FragileFlower: Chiemi can easily burst into tears whenever she's overwhelmed or her feelings are hurt.

* SpoiledSweet: Shihoko is kind with everyone. [[spoiler: She was quite easy before a heart-to-heart talk with the protagonist.]]

* UnexpectedGameplayChange: Most of the game is a VisualNovel[=/=]DatingSim. The school day itself is a kind of BoardGame-like challenge, with dice-rolling and items that move you a certain number of squares. The Protagonist's part-time job as a janitor requires the player to beat a level of either PacMan [[note]][[NintendoHard without power pellets]][[/note]] or a StealthBasedMission.

* CovertPervert: [[ShrinkingViolet Akari]] gets more and more funny ideas the more she likes the protagonist. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Cute?]] Sure, but it [[{{Squick}} gets disturbing]] [[FridgeHorror when you realize]] she's also one of the three girls in the game who are [[TokenMiniMoe underage]]. Goes [[UpToEleven way over the top]] after she falls in love with him:

* [[GameMod and many, many more possibilities...]]

* SecretAdmirer: If you visit certain locations on certain days, little kids will come up to the protagonist and hand the protagonist notes from a secret admirer, thanking the protagonist for events the protagonist cannot recall. [[spoiler:The notes later turn out to be from Chiemi.]]

* DerailingLoveInterests: Somehow they have to make it moral for the protagonist to take Keika from her boyfriend.

One day at school, [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ferdinand]] agreed to a bet proposed by his childhood friend Miki, following a conversation regarding their respective skill (or lack thereof) at finding someone to date. Under the conditions of the bet, the two of them would be given 101 days to find and hold onto a significant other. If either of them were to succeed at these criteria while the other failed, they would be considered the victor.

Working toward the goal in order to prove himself to his friend, Ferdinand meets many girls.
* Miki Nakajima, Ferdinand's tomboyish [[ChildhoodFriends childhoood friend]]

* AerithAndBob: Ferdinand has a German name which makes him stand out from the rest of the characters who have Japanese names.

* TheBet: One of these kicks off the plot. Ferdinand and Miki each bet that the other can't get a significant other within 101 days.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Ferdinand and Miki
* CompetitionFreak: Miki always wants to compete with Ferdinand over trivial matters.
* CovertPervert: [[ShrinkingViolet Akari]] gets more and more funny ideas the more she likes Ferdinand. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Cute?]] Sure, but it [[{{Squick}} gets disturbing]] [[FridgeHorror when you realize]] she's also one of the three girls in the game who are [[TokenMiniMoe underage]].

--->'''Ferdinand''':[[spoiler:So then both pillows are being used at the same time.]]

--->'''Ferdinand''':[[spoiler:In the same place.]]

--->'''Ferdinand''':[[spoiler:In your bed.]]

* DerailingLoveInterests: Somehow they have to make it moral for Ferdinand to take Keika from her boyfriend.

* DevotedToYou: Chiemi to Ferdinand.
* EasyLevelTrick: There are ''lots'' of bonus items and features scattered throughout the game that give Ferdinand an extra edge in boosting his stats or his chances with dates. Probably the most famous of these are the chocolates, which are handed out by the ridiculously meta Chocolate Lady.
* EveryManHasHisPrice: Keika tries to bribe other students in the class to get them to date Miki. [[spoiler:It doesn't work, and Ferdinand calls her out on it]].

* MediumAwareness: The Chocolate Lady knows that she's an NPC in a DatingSim, and thus gives hilariously fourth-wall-breaking advice and commentary which leaves poor, GenreBlind Ferdinand confused.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Ferdinand needs a girlfriend to win his bet against Miki. Keika (Miki's friend) agrees to arrange a meeting between him and Akari to help him out [[note]]Keika had already helped Miki out by bribing boys into asking her on a date, and thus her rationale for helping Ferdinand was that it would restore her status as a neutral party[[/note]]. Her intent was that Akari would prove to be so [[ShrinkingViolet antisocial and unapproachable]] that any time Ferdinand spent with her may as well have been wasted... up until Ferdinand ''actually'' manages to get close to Akari.
* NotWhatItLooksLike: While racing against Miki, Ferdinand trips and falls, landing on top of her. Miki's classmate, Riho, was watching at the time and concludes that Ferdinand meant to end up on top of Miki.
* ObliviousToLove: Ferdinand to Miki's.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Ferdinand
* PantyShot: Unseen by the player, but one scene with Tsubasa has her tripping, accidentally exposing her underwear to Ferdinand.

* SecondYearProtagonist: Ferdinard is in second year. Miki, Keika, and Riho are in their second year as well.
* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Ferdinand and Miki

* UnprovokedPervertPayback: Riho, propagating that Ferdinand is a creep.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Ferdinand and Miki.
