History VisualNovel / DreamyDaysInWestTokyo

* {{Tsundere}}: Ichigo. To hear him tell it he hates the neighborhood, his family's bakery, and the protagonist, but of course those who know him know perfectly well how important all three are to him. He's just terrible at expressing his true feelings. He appears to get it from his father, who has similar difficulty in communicating.

!! Dreamy Days in West Tokyo contains examples of the following tropes:

* BehindTheMask: In season 2, the protagonist comes to think of Rei Arisugawa as a "dependable big sister" thanks to his feminine manner of speaking and how unfailingly he's willing to listen and give her helpful advice. [[spoiler:On his route, she eventually learns that "Rei" is a persona that Reiji Uraga deliberately created to hold others at arm's length and discourage women from throwing themselves at him. His real self, although still genuinely kindhearted, is more masculine and a lot more jaded.]]

* RomanticRunnerUp: Ichigo, on Haruki's route.

* EmpathicEnvironment: During Ichigo's route, it rains on the night of the meteor shower, reflecting the protagonist's sorrow over what seems to be the end of her closeness with Ichigo. When the two of them reconcile and admit their feelings for one another, the sky spontaneously clears, allowing them to see the meteor shower in its full glory.

* GenreSavvy: Absolutely nobody is surprised when Ichigo and the protagonist end up together on his route. On the contrary, they were fully expecting it, and in Haruki and Ryuzo's routes people express varying degrees of surprise that the protagonist and Ichigo ''didn't'' end up together on the basis of BelligerentSexualTension.

* {{Tsundere}}: Ichigo. To hear him tell it he hates the neighborhood, his family's bakery, and the protagonist, but of course those who know him know perfectly well how important all three are to him. He's just terrible at expressing his true feelings. He appears to get it from his father, who has similar difficulty in communicating.
* TrueCompanions: All of the guys are close friends and quick to support one another in whatever ways seem most likely to be helpful. They were just as close with the protagonist ten years ago, and upon her return she's quickly re-established as one of their circle as well.

* HeIsAllGrownUp: The protagonist suffers a pretty bad case of cognititve dissonance when it turns out that not only is cute little Rihito a ''[[DudeLooksLikeALady boy]]'', but in the ten years that's passed he's grown up to be a) so very, very pretty, and b) an incorrigible flirt.

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: ''All'' of the guys. It's pretty much the point of the game. [[spoiler:This inclueds Johji, who the protagonist knew as "JJ" back then.]]

* ChildhoodFriendRomance: ''All'' of the guys, with the exception of Johji. It's pretty much the point of the game.

* {{Delinquents}}: Ryuzo isn't one, but he ''looks'' the part, which throws the protagonist for a bit of a loop.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Ichigo has an uncomfortable relationship with his older brother Togo, in large part because, unlike Ichigo who has trouble expressing his feelings, Togo is good with people, and is easily welcomed back by their parents and the rest of the neighborhood despite having previously abandoned them to travel the world.

* IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Ichigo, of all people, on Haruki's route. And again, none too gracefully and hating every minute of it, on his own route when he thinks the protagonist has hooked up with Togo.

* IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Ichigo, of all people, on Haruki's route.
