* FunnyAneurismMoment: In episode 7, Baldr tells Yui that nothing can hurt him, "But I can hurt myself if I trip and fall". [[spoiler: In episode 11, he jumps off a cliff.]]

* TomboyishSidetails: Yui.

* AttentionWhore: Loki, through out the series, but especially in episode 10. While the others (Hades, Balder, Apollon, Takeru, and Tsukito) want the prince role in ''Literature/{{Cinderella}}'' because they all like Yui (who they want to play Cinderella), Loki only shows interest after Apollon mentions that the Prince is the star (though he isn't, that's Cinderella). Loki then proceeds to derail the play after he gets a small part.

Yui Kusanagi is an average high school girl who also works as a {{miko}} on her family's shrine. One day, while she's at the shrine's warehouse, she finds a mysterious CoolSword, Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, that takes her to another world - a garden created by [[GreekMythology the mighty Zeus]] for the gods to live in. In the middle of the garden, there's a high school that some of the gods attend. Zeus gives Yui the task to attend the school and teach the gods about [[ThePowerOfLove love]] in a time where the worship to gods is slowly receeding. Thus, in the school she meets Apollon and Hades from Myth/GreekMythology, Tsukito and Takeru from Myth/JapaneseMythology, Loki and Balder from Myth/NorseMythology, and Anubis and Thoth from Myth/EgyptianMythology. However, there's a problem - she doesn't know anything about love, and if she refuses, she'll be punished by Zeus.

* DudeLooksLikeALady: Akira aka [[JapaneseMythology Amaterasu]].

** The GreekMythology family, to the surprise of no one. Apollon, Dionysus and Hades get along wonderfully with each other, but as soon as Zeus is added to the mix things get dysfunctional. Hades hates him and Apollon is cold towards him. Zeus can't seem to bond with any of them even if he has their best interests in mind.
** The JapaneseMythology family issues is the main focus of Tsukito's route in the game. Akira can't get along with Tsukito or Takeru, Tsukito is unable to understand family bonds at all and Takeru just wants to fix their problems.

* TheNicknamer: Apollon and Loki are the main cases. Thoth doesn't shy away from giving insulting nicknames to the other gods, either.

* {{Tsundere}}: Takeru.

* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Yui is the sole ([[FacelessMasses real]]) girl in all the school, despite the great amount of goddesses that could appear. Justified in that this is an [[RomanceGame Otome Game]].
* TheUnderworld: Inevitable mentioned, as Hades is a main character. During his love route in the game, [[spoiler: Yui has to go to the Underworld to get him back. It's not pretty.]]

!!This visual novel provides examples of:

* AllPartOfTheShow[=/=]ThrowItIn: During the school play, Thoth's script gets wet so he has to improvise his narration, which [[LemonyNarrator makes it more interesting]], and at the end of the play, he just says that the glass slipper breaking solved all the conflict (the fighting) and they ended the story there.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Loki's jealously and possessiveness of Balder has raised a few eyebrows.

* [[spoiler:AttemptedRape]]: [[spoiler:A PG version/implication of this happens twice in episode 7 with Loki planning on doing ''something'' to Yui but stops when she believes he is implying that he wants to be friends and becomes happy with him. The second time is at the end of the episode with Balder [[ForcefulKiss trying to force a kiss on Yui]] in an attempt to make her "only see him." Loki prevents Balder that time.]]

In the game, the rings come off after they fall in love.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Cassandra was BarredFromTheAfterlife (never made it to TheUnderworld) due to UnfinishedBusiness with Apollon, though she wanted to help him rather than [[{{Revenge}} hurt]] him, as ghosts are sometimes known to do.

* VerbalTic: Apollon likes to repeat words.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Zeus transforms into a child to prove his powers to Yui and then again... [[ItAmusedMe because he can?]]
