6----
7!!General Tropes:
8* AccidentalPervert: It wouldn't be a Harem story without the main character ending up in this kind of situations with the girls, even ones who aren't interested in him romantically.
9* ACupAngst: While Takae isn't flat, when compared to [[BuxomBeautyStandard Hanako and Yuna]], she can't help but feel self-conscious.
10* AnimalThemeNaming: The girls tend to have animal-themed last names:
11** Hanako Kuzu'''ryu''' - Dragon
12** Kasumi '''Taka'''se - Falcon
13** Yuna '''Ushi'''gome - Cow
14** Madoka '''Tsuru'''hashi - Crane
15** Moe '''Neko'''miya - Cat
16** Seira '''Shishi'''dou - Lion
17** Mai '''Kamo'''gawa - Duck
18** Sakurako '''Itachi''' - Weasel
19** Kanon Shira'''tori''' - Bird
20** '''Wani'''buchi-sensei - Crocodile
21** '''Kame'''i-sensei - Turtle
22** Koharu '''Inu'''kai - Dog
23** Ayano '''Kiji'''tani - Pheasant

26** Kirara '''Rakuda''' - Camel
27** Satomi '''Roba''' - Donkey
28** Makoto '''Kujaku''' - Peacock
29** Rin '''Karasu'''no - Crow
30* BalancedHarem: While Hanako is considered in the lead due to being the first girl he became close to, the other girls continue to try to spend time with Saotome whenever they can.
31* BitchInSheepsClothing: Kasumi Takae likes to pretend she's a polite "good girl", when in fact she's rather shameless and is willing to blackmail Saotome for money. Even after her CharacterDevelopment, she still has her moments of hiding her remaining bitchiness underneath a polite facade.
32* BlessedWithSuck: How the Cheerleading Club feels about their track record with boys and romance in general
33* BookDumb: Ushigome actually has some street smarts, but she's clearly not very good at academical stuff.
34* CharacterDevelopment: Kasumi goes from someone willing to extort Saotome for looking at her panties (that she deliberately exposed), to being reluctant at being seen by him after she develops feelings for him. She's also far less bitchy and even starts to consider the other girls, including Ushigome, genuine friends when before they were practically strangers.
35* ChickMagnet: Saotome not only has four girls who openly have feelings for him, over a dozen nameless girls like him as a friend.
36* CoolOldLady: The head teacher of the fashion class is elderly and pretty nice, and she allows Hodaka to make clothes for several girls, mostly because she knows a popular fashion show could attract more male students in the future.
37* CrushBlush: Hanako ends up becoming red like a tomato whenever her growing feelings for Saotome get too strong.
38* DefeatByModesty: During the flag pole game, the girls in frustration start stripping or pulling the clothes off each other, to the delight of the male audience.
39* DoesNotLikeMen: Kodera developed a dislike for men after she rejected the confession of a classmate. The entire school found out and painted her as a bitch. She softens towards Saotome, though.
40* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Pretty much anyone who spends even a little time with Saotome and Hanako instantly realize they have feelings for each other.
41* FeminineWomenCanCook: Zigzagged. On one hand, Madoka is an excellent cook, even if she's not particularly feminine, while most of her classmates act like delinquents. Yuna is revealed to be quite good at making desserts, and she's pretty feminine as well.
42* FirstNameBasis: Saotome, Seira and Madoka are the only ones who calls Hanako by her first name, everyone calls her Kuzuhana. Madoka is the only one who calls Saotome by his first name Hodaka.
43* FriendlessBackground: After transferring to Moteshiro, Hanako didn't have any friends, mostly due to a traumatic experience involving her OnlyFriend from middle school.
44* GyaruGirl: Both Hanako and Madoka are called and dress like Gyarus, although with Hanako it is more noticeable.
45* HartmanHips: What she lacks in boobs, Kodera compensates with wide hips.
46* HugeSchoolgirl: Hanako is taller than Saotome by half a head, while Kamogawa is just as tall as Saotome.
47* HypocriticalHeartwarming: During the festival, the girls of the school make it clear, only they are allowed to mess with Saotome.
48* JapaneseDelinquents: The school is full of them, and one of the reasons Saotome had difficulty fitting into the school.
49* JerkWithAHeartOfGold:
50** Takae at first seemed like a bitch who would blackmail others for money, but after growing fond of Saotome, she stops doing that and she becomes very willing to use her network of information to help her friends.
51** Itachi may look and even act very roughly, but she's actually not that bad and she's one of the first girls not interested in Saotome romantically that grows to like him.
52* LastNameBasis: Most characters usually refer to each other by their last names.
53* LazyArtist: The inside of ears are consistently drawn with a simple design and pattern that lacks depth and makes the anatomy of it look like a singular protrusion out of the ear, which makes it really not look like the inside of ears.
54* LettingHerHairDown: Madoka usually lets her hair loose when she's not cooking.
55* MeaningfulAppearance: Mai Kamogawa's hair covers her eyes, which fits her ShrinkingViolet personality.
56* MellowFellow: Aoi Kodera is most of the time cool and even appears aloof, but she's actually quite mellow and even lazy when it comes to doing work.
57* MsFanservice: Hanako has the most moments of fanservice of any of the girls, with MaleGaze, {{Panty Shot}}s, WorkoutFanservice, SheCleansUpNicely and such.
58* MumLooksLikeASister:
59** Hanako's mother Irina uses this to get to know Saotome.
60** Saotome's parents also look pretty young despite having a teenage son, as lampshaded by Yuna.
61* NiceGuy: The main reason so many girls grow fond of Hodaka is because of how nice, helpful, and forgiving he is.
62* TheNicknamer: Ushigome likes to add to the last name of her friends the suffix "-chi".
63* NotWhatItLooksLike: More than once Saotome is caught in a compromising position with the other girls.
64** Discussed at one point when one occasion lead to the rumor that Saotome "had two girls at once." Exacerbating the problems with the rumor is that neither of the girls in question, not even Hanako, bothered to correct or sink the rumors beyond a dismissive "yeah, and?".
65* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: Saotome and Kasumi talk about the time someone stuff the girl's swimsuits into his bag last year, right in front of Nekomiya. This causes her so much grief she just confesses it was her and begs for forgiveness. Saotome, being the NiceGuy that he is, does.
66* TheOneGuy: It's a plot point that Hodaka is literally the only male in a school with 359 females. He's only at the school because it was the only one with a sewing class in reach of him.
67* OneManArmy: Hanako managed to beat at least 100 delinquents in her rampage defending her friend, earning the moniker of "100 Slayer".
68* PintSizedPowerhouse: Seira might be the shortest among the main cast, but she's an expert grappler capable of matching even Saotome.
69* RealMenWearPink: Hodaka is an expert in sewing and fashion designing due to his family owning a tailor shop, which is why he enrolled at Moteshiro in the first place. Being such a good tailor is what makes many girls soften their views towards him.
70* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After seeing her OnlyFriend being bullied to the point of transferring, Hanako went full berserk mode, beat the crap out of the bullies, and the delinquents that were associated with the bullies, earning the moniker of "One Hundred Slayer".
71* ScaryTeeth: Sakurako Itachi is always drawn with sharp teeth, which make her look more intimidating.
72* SchoolBullyingIsHarmless: Subverted when concerning Hanako's unnamed friend, who was bullied to such a degree she transferred to another school.
73* SheCleansUpNicely: Hanako most of the time doesn't bother to dress up, but when wearing a pretty dress, everyone notices.
74* ShrinkingViolet: Kamogawa is incredibly shy and has difficulty speaking up. This is rather problematic since she's a member of the cheerleading club.
75* SleepCute: In a manner of speaking. When Hanako first invites Hodaka up on her secret spot in the roof, she accidentally ends up taking a nap right in front of him. In order to preserve her dignity, Hodaka tries to [[PantyShot pull her skirt back in place when the wind flutters it up]], but he gets himself pulled into a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu styled Triangle Choke by Hanako ''while she's still sleeping''. With his face and neck being clamped down against [[MurderousThighs her crotch by her legs]] and his arm being [[ThanksForTheMammary hugged into her chest like a teddy bear or pillow]], Hodaka ends up passing out. When the chapter ends, Hanako is trying to slap him back into consciousness.
76* SleepsInTheNude: Ushigome confirms that she sleeps naked while at the school trip to the beach. She notes that this is how she is most comfortable, rather than any attempt to be attractive.
77* StatuesqueStunner: As mentioned above, Hanako is incredibly tall for a highschooler, with long, toned legs. This is what makes her such a stunning model.
78* ThemeTwinNaming: Moe Nekomiya's four year-old sisters are named Tamayo and Tamami.
79* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Hanako is most of the time tomboyish and not particularly feminine, but she comes to enjoy wearing pretty dresses.
80* TopWife: It is clear to all of the girls that have feelings for Saotome that Hanako is in the lead.
81* {{Tsundere}}: At first Hanko was a type-A towards Saotome and most of her classmates, but after softening she's a Type-B when with Hodaka.
82* WorkoutFanservice: Hanako has been seen on occasion exercising in tight fitness clothes.
83* WorldOfTechnicolorHair: Not as bad as other manga but a few of the girls have unusual hair colors without anyone bringing it up, like Kasumi who has blue hair, Kanon has green hair, Aoi has dark purple hair, Itachi has black hair with purple highlights and Mai has brown hair with red highlights.
