* AdaptationDistillation: The original Visual Novel is quite serious and dramatic compared to the anime, reserving the comedy for a few key events, while the focus is Ren developing romance with the girls and uncovering their past or traumas to reach the desired RelationshipUpgrade and the numerous sex scenes that comes with it. The anime however, couldn't focus on all the girls and animate the heavy smut, so they went for a comedy aproach, filled with references a la Manga/HayateTheCombatButler.

* AnimalsHateHer: Beni, apparently. Though it could just be dogs. Still, the Maltese in question liked Ren and Natose just fine.
* AscendedExtra: Ageha does not really appear outside of the Yume related routes and in the Yume route she’s just someone Ren talks to a few times that is crushing on him a little. In Natose’s route she kisses Ren forcibly once and then decides to go into training after being ambushed and knocked out by Mihato. She doesn’t even have a route. However, in the anime she gets two full episodes out of a mere thirteen and shows up in the ending as if she were actually one of the heroines.
* AttentionWhore: Yume is always struggling for attention and loves being in the limelight. Part of the reason she seems to decide to date Ren is to rub it in her sister’s faces that she has more relationship experience than they do.
* BareYourMidriff: Natose’s casual outfit.

** Benisu is only one diacritical mark different from ‘penisu,’ so you can guess what jokes might be made about her name. However, upon discovering this Ren actually goes out of his way to jump on this particular berserk button when she starts annoying him.
** Miyu hates being treated like a child, [[IResembleThatRemark though if you do it right she’ll certainly respond like one]].
** More seriously, stepping out of the social boundaries Shinra sets absolutely infuriates her.

Fortunately, Natose is a lot nicer than Beni and realizes it was kind of her own fault. Second time is mostly his fault, but again, Natose is a lot nicer than Beni and simply apologizes for him having to come get her for being late.

''TheyAreMyNobleMasters'' (''Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de'' in Japan) is typical [[{{Ecchi}} ecchi]] fare, with a hapless teenage boy surrounded by beautiful women who all want a share of his attention.

* CoitusEnsues
** Beni’s first H scene comes around because… because she wanted to see if she could copy Shinra’s dominatrix attitude or something? Then she got too proud to admit she was in over her head despite Ren pretty much constantly pointing it out.
** Natose’s first scene comes about essentially five seconds after Ageha forcibly kisses Ren and gets interrupted by Mihato. Ren tells Natose about it, gets slightly aroused and BAM! The erotic music begins.

* InLoveWithLove: Yume asks to go out with Ren mostly because she doesn’t have a boyfriend and the idea interests her slightly. Plus, she wants people to stop bugging her to get one. She has no idea what’s going on when she actually does feel a little jealous that Ren has a good opinion of Ageha.
* InnocentlyInsensitive
** When Shinra is a jerk, she’s usually doing it on purpose. However, [[spoiler:she eventually makes Yume cry by always ignoring her.]] She wasn’t trying to be malicious, she simply didn’t notice her behavior was upsetting and in fact thought she was doing what [[spoiler:her sister]] wanted based on an argument they had that only Shinra even remembers.
** At one point Ren manages to distract Natose by acting like her little brother, giving puppy dog eyes and asking why she’s hurting him. Her reaction is much greater than he expected and he gets uncomfortable without knowing what the problem here is. Notably, he doesn’t try it again.
** When Ren [[spoiler:gets fired]], after he leaves the room the other servants agree that while what he said to Shinra was probably true, he was too blunt and straightforward about something that’s a sore spot for her.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Horses were popular in England! Surely if Miyu commands the horse to slow down in English it will comply.
* InSeriesNickname: Ren and Mihato occasionally call Beni Ponytail for obvious reasons. Or Penisu if they want to make her mad.
* TheInternetIsForPorn: When trying to find ways to make tea, Ren instead stumbled across endless maid porn.
* InterruptedIntimacy: Natose walks in on Ren and Yume, bringing some snacks. Flustered, she tries to escape, but doesn’t know what to do with the snacks, so she eats them all before she goes. They didn’t even notice her.
* InVinoVeritas: When Ren refers to himself as just being Shinra’s butler, she gets uncomfortable and makes a pass at him. She still can’t bring herself to be truly honest, however.
* IResembleThatRemark:
** Ren shoos Miyu from the kitchen by saying it’s a place for adults to work, much to her irritation. He then distracts her successfully with a piece of candy. Actually, Miyu is easily distracted by candy or pats to the head.
** Right after trying to establish her competence, Yume starts to leave and reveals that she forgot to put on underwear.
* IsItSomethingYouEat: When Natose tries cheering up Yume once again, Shinra asks her if she actually has any idea what she just said. Is it Chinese cuisine of some sort? Is Kumamoto some dish involving bears?
* ItAmusedMe: When Ren asks her if they should make their relationship known to everyone, Shinra declines. Why? Because it’ll be hilarious watching everyone slowly figure it out.
* JerkassRealization: As the [[LackOfEmpathy least empathic]] and most arrogant of the sisters, Shinra seems prone to these.
** When fighting with Yume, Shinra [[spoiler:holds a grudge over Yume not even remembering the cause of the fight.]] Miyu has to practically beat the source of the anger out of Shinra after Yume gets so upset [[spoiler:she flat out runs away from home.]] When she hears the story, Miyu has to painstakingly explain to Shinra that she’s holding a grudge over [[spoiler:something a little kid told her when she was upset]] and that [[spoiler:Yume not remembering]] is perfectly natural since most people, Shinra included, [[spoiler:don’t remember every trivial little thing that happened when they were little.]] Shinra’s response amounts to “So what you’re saying is that I’m the one in the wrong here? Well, shit.”
** Managed without admitting error. After a fight with Ren about how doesn’t understand the expectations she lives under, [[spoiler:Shinra fires him.]] Eventually, they make up partially, but Ren is all depressed by his own issues. When she finally figures them out, the real makeup between them boils down to Shinra going “Wow, I guess poor people have problems too, so I guess I won’t hold a grudge about you trying to help me with mine.”

** Miyu likes acting distant, arrogant and dignified, but she’s actually very supportive and the one to cheer up Ren after he thinks he failed to pass the preliminary period.

* RescueRomance: After Ren saves Yume from potential date rapists, she asks him out. Not exactly the reaction he was expecting, but he goes along with it and ends up getting an instant promotion to boyfriend.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobot: Deniro doesn’t look human, of course, but he acts human enough to want to “make a woman” out of various appliances. Wait, is that normal for humans?
* RomanticRunnerUp: Mihato has only one ending plus a bit of shared time in Miyu’s route, but is the only one consistently after him. She reacts to her loss with obvious depression.
* RunningGag: Ren keeps running into Beni when she’s getting changed in the bathroom. [[spoiler:She doesn’t really mind the last time considering what happened the night before.]]
* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:In Natose’s route, she grows increasingly obsessed with her desire to protect Ren and begins neglecting everything else to the point where she gets threatened with dismissal if she doesn’t turn her behavior around. Rather than begin working properly again, she decides she’ll have to knock Ren and Yume out and kidnap them so she won’t have to leave them.]]
* SelectiveObliviousness
** Beni knows that she’s [[spoiler:never going to be Shinra.]] She simply avoids admitting it to herself until Ren confronts her about it.
** Whenever Yume hears something she doesn’t like or something that she’ll have to work hard at, she tends to sink into denial.
* SelfMadeMan: Beni’s goal is to be one day as rich and fabulous as Shinra. She started an orphan, was sold to a restaurant and studied endlessly by herself. She worked hard without cease in isolation. She did nearly turn to petty theft before meeting the colonel, who was impressed with her abilities and determination and hired her as the Kuonji family chef.
* SenpaiKohai
** As Ren’s senpai, Beni tries to get him to act more deferentially. [[VolleyingInsults Doesn’t work.]]
** Natose on the other hand earnestly wants to assist Ren properly, but lets him know this after she oversleeps. Not exactly the best example.
** When Yume asks the older girls about love, Mihato says she looks at her brother to understand love, Miyu indicates she doesn’t know and Natose admits to having no experience. Shinra compliments the food. Natose apologizes for knowing nothing about it and Miyu tells her that admission is better than evading the question. Apparently, Shinra thinks the dessert is also quite nice.
* SeriousBusiness
** Whoever thought that butlers should simply be good personal attendants is''wrong''. ''wrong''.
** Chiharu also obsesses over cleaning and seems to view the destruction of dirt as his life's mission.
* ServileSnarker: Ren's internal monologue can be rather sarcastic at times and sometimes his mouth slips and he actually says what he's thinking.
* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Miyu is not bothered when seen naked in front of servants. In fact, she asks Ren to wash her back. Naturally, when she begins thinking of him as something more than a servant, her previous attitude starts fading, much to her confusion.
* ShamelessSelfPromoter: The announcer in the water race keeps getting distracted by talking about herself.
* ShipperOnDeck: Natose rather likes the idea of Ren and Yume together.
* ShipTease
** Shinra’s route has some fairly heavy ship teasing with Beni and Ren at some points. Beni’s route opens afterward, conveniently enough.
** Ren flirts with Natose quite a bit in Yume’s route, giving her more ship tease than Yume herself early on. She even gets happy about the idea of going out with him after work before Beni reminds her it was just group date practice and not the real thing. Aww.
* ShootTheHostage: Yume’s author avatar character has a disturbing willingness to shoot through an innocent hostage. She brings it back but…

* SickeninglySweetHearts: Post dere flip, Beni and Ren have a severe case of romantic diabetes. You can see Haru in the background making various aghast faces at their cute behavior. When questioned about, they admit they’ve neither started formally dating nor even admitted they love each yet, which they settle offhandedly right then and there. Poor Chiharu.

* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: PG13 version: Shinra will grope or tease everyone in the house except Yume and the two guys she seems to view as scenery. Even Natose will do when there’s nobody else. Yume is upset because her sister is always fairly distant with her. [[spoiler:Shinra assumes that Yume remembers they had a quarrel after their parents died, but while Shinra was probably about twelve or so, Yume was maybe five and doesn’t remember a thing. Shinra thinks she’s doing what Yume wants and is pissed when she realizes Yume doesn’t even remember the fight to begin with.]]

* SpitTake: When Yume decides to introduce her new boyfriend, Shinra spits out all her tea. Right onto Miyu, who is convinced she did it on purpose. And she kinda did.

Completely confused, [[DramaticallyMissingThePoint she begins training herself harder to make sure there are absolutely no mistakes.]] When she finally realizes that poor people have problems too and that she was kind of a dick to Ren, she relaxes and rearranges the orchestra to allow herself to show more personal expression in the upcoming performance.
* TheTease: Shinra teasing or flirting with someone is basically the only way she’ll express affection. She gets angry the first time Ren walks in when she’s changing, but when she comes to like him more she just asks if he likes the view.
* TheirFirstTime: Ren’s first time, no matter his partner, tends to be kind of odd.
** Miyu phrases it as a reward for good service as does Shinra. Shinra is also embarrassed or irritated to admit that it’s her first time as well.
** Beni and Ren are incredibly awkward about it, though it’s also clear that they care about each other deeply and are trying to make things as pleasant as possible for their partner.

* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: When Yume gets into a fight with Kei, she tries to get Natose and Ren to help her out, but Shinra steps in and forbids Natose from assisting. She doesn’t do the same for Ren, but he realizes (with a little help from Ageha) that she’s right and he should make Yume do it herself without being ordered.
* ThreeWaySex
** Miyu tells Ren he’s not allowed to get along with other women too well, but then adds that if it’s Mihato she supposes she’s okay with it. Seeing that Mihato is depressed at losing her brother, she follows through on it so long as everyone is clear that any future encounters are seen as a bonus for Ren and a gift for Mihato, not an indication of equality between her and Miyu in the relationship.
** Much to Natose’s surprise, Yume decided she was willing and able to help Yume’s relationship with Yume advance past just kissing. Natose doesn’t seem to mind much, which is good considering Yume basically ordered her to do it.

Added DiffLines:
* TranslationConvention
** Beni’s first conversation with the colonel began with asking him if he spoke English, presumably while using English.
** Averted with Shinra and Natose’s first meeting until Ren irritably tells her to speak in Japanese even if Natose didn’t know the language then. Her smirk makes it clear she’s just screwing with him like usual.
* {{Troll}}: Shinra finds it hilarious to make people suffer, like looking really angry after Ren [[spoiler:breaks a vase that is actually mostly worthless]] because she just wants to see him depressed.
* TryingNotToCry: After finally blowing up at Shinra, Yume tries to retract her statement by saying it was an April Fool’s joke, but nobody buys it since she’s crying and doesn’t realize it.
* {{Tsundere}}
** Benisu and Ren argue constantly, but if he says anything genuinely nice to her she tends to get flustered easily. Of course, that rarely happens. [[spoiler:At the end of Shinra’s route she steps in without hesitation to defend him from his dangerous father and gets hit for her trouble.]] Once she goes dere, she also pretty much stays dere. Also, despite picking on Natose more than anyone else (Meaning, at all) she gets jealous when other people feed her.
** As Shinra becomes more attracted to Ren, she continues to treat him like a toy, indicating all sorts of internal conflicts. In the end, she turns out to have far more difficulty bringing out her dere side than Beni.
* TwinTelepathy: Apparently, Ren can send complex messages to Mihato by concentrating without anyone batting an eye at the idea.
* UndyingLoyalty: Koujuurou is endlessly devoted to Ageha, partially due to saving him with a transfusion when he was injured.
* UnequalPairing: When Haru teases Ren about his devotion to Shinra, he snaps back that of course he’s crushing on her a little. She’s beautiful, talented and way out of his league. Not to mention that he’s just a servant. Even after they start a relationship, he’s still a servant and she once (probably) jokes that if he doesn’t quit teasing her she’s going to reduce his salary. [[spoiler:They do get married in the epilogue, though.]]
* UnrequitedLoveSwitcheroo: A downplayed example like SleepsWithEveryoneButYou. After Shinra starts being more affectionate with Yume, she stops harassing Miyu so much, who ends up missing it.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Ren gets Shinra to play a shooter in the arcade by noting you can shoot fleeing enemies in the back or execute captives at the end of the level.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Beni and Ren in Shinra’s route argue constantly, but to their surprise they actually do seem to be friends. The exact same relationship in Beni’s route worries everyone else for some reason.
* VolleyingInsults: Beni and Ren
* WhatIsThisFeeling: Miyu is rather confused mid route as to why she’s getting jealous over Ren or shy around him. All the other servants and both her sisters are talking about it while even Ren knows it’s a point of gossip, but she’s completely in the dark.
* WhatTheHellHero: When Miyu finally learns why Shinra is acting so hostile towards Yume, her facial expression says everything that needs to be said. Including a “…Seriously? You’re that petty?” face. Not that she leaves it at that, but she probably could have if Shinra had actually thought about the situation at all from the other perspective.
* WhipItGood: Annoying Miyu results in a whipping. However, she’s both pretty weak and the whip is designed not to really hurt, so the physical pain is pretty minor… unless the more enthusiastic Shinra uses it, at which point it really hurts and then starts to turn into BDSM play, much to Beni’s annoyance.
* WomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: Shinra
* TheWorfEffect: In Yume Note, Shinra always gets beaten first so that Yume can save the day for real.

* YouWillBeSpared
** While playing a shooter game with Shinra, they manage to gather a number of captives, including the enemy general. She decides that the general is accepting responsibility for his failure and executes him, but spares his soldiers as a gesture of respect.
** When Ren’s character dies on the next level, she mercilessly kills one attacker while the other begs for his life. [[AvertedTrope She takes vengeance for her fallen comrade instead.]]

* AccidentalPervert: Ren, obviously, though it's not that bad nor that often as with most average {{ecchi}} series. Luckily for us, the time he walks in on the [[{{Squick}} colonel about to take a bath]], [[BrainBleach his mind unconsciously censors the image]].
** It also usually gets subverted as the girls don't seem to really mind him seeing them naked (in fact, Shinra and Miyu aren't above forcing an AccidentalPervert situation just to watch his embarrassment), and he learns to accept his masters nakedness when they ask for his help while changing clothes or in the bath (he can still blush and may even try to catch a few glimpses, but he can control himself well). The only times this is played straight is with Benis (who's a {{Tsundere}}) and Ageha (for whom everything is SeriousBusiness).
** And the one time he gets to see Natose naked, she instead apologies to him for showing him something obscene.

* AdaptationDistillation: The original Visual Novel is quite serious and dramatic compared to the anime, reserving the comedy for a few key events, while the focus is Ren developing romance with the girls and uncovering their past or traumas to reach the desired RelationshipUpgrade and the numerous sex scenes that comes with it. The anime however, couldn't focus on all the girls and animate the heavy smut, so they went for a comedy aproach, filled with references a la HayateTheCombatButler.
