Green Rooming: Mei is introduced in episode 6, and has an introductory scene that's very reminiscent of Souta's when he first transferred to the class. Afterwards the class trip takes place and she's quickly forgotten about as they introduce Kurumiko to the story, as well as filling in more of Souta's tragic past. She finally gets more screen time in episode 7. | |

Winds of Destiny, Change! | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_12b045 | comment |
Winds of Destiny, Change!: Souta has the ability to see flags on top of people's heads, allowing him to see and change important events and choices in life. He can also break flags by taking action to prevent events he doesn't want to happen. He's not up on all the nuances, however, particularly when it comes to the way his friends' flags appear (or don't). Mei had a lesser form of the ability before she lost her memory. | |

Heroic BSoD: The Quest Dormitory group have a collective minor one upon learning Kurumiko is Souta's adopted imouto. More seriously, Souta suffers a major one during the course of the sports festival, which also affects their team's ranking when they start losing during the second day due to his lowered morale. He even contemplates that leaving might not be a bad idea, because he tells Ruri he's probably going to die soon, and if he's too connected to the girls, it'll just hurt them that much more. However, Ruri tells him there might be a way for him to get rid of his death flag. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: In the first episode, Nanami can't help but wonder who that boy she saw at the intersection was that seemingly prevented a semi truck from hitting them. Her only clue was that he was wearing the same uniform for her school, but since the school is really big, there's no way she'd be able to find him. As she's thinking that, the teacher presents a New Transfer Student, who just happens to be that boy she saw. She gets up, points at him and screams, before turning red from embarrassment and sitting back down. In episode 6, because of a mixup by Mimori, Souta ends up on both lists of students going to the beach, and students going to the forest for a field trip. Due to some bad experiences with the ocean, he's uncomfortable being on the beach, and is quite relieved to be going to the forest for the second half of the trip. But then his teacher announces that the two groups will be switching locations for a change of pace, and since he was technically part of the forest group by that point, he ends up on the beach again. This ultimately helps him find Kurumiko however, who has an important story flag over her head, which Souta has to use in order to advance the plot. | |

Marked to Die: When someone has a death flag on their head, it's a sign that they're going to die soon unless Souta breaks the flag or raises another flag in its place. Mei attempts to break or at least alter Souta's in episode 7, but ultimately the best she's able to do is delay its activation. | |

Green-Eyed Monster: Kikuno unintentionally causes this reaction when she dotes on Souta a bit too much in class. Nanami in episode 8 when calling Akane over a video phone. At first she thinks the latter is lonely, er bored just like she was. But then the other characters show up in Akane's room, and they have a pillow fight. Nanami watches as the others have fun and gets a hissy fit because she missed out on it. The battery on her tablet/phone runs out shortly afterwards after Akane promises to have a pillow fight with her. And fortunately for her, the characters visit her in her country in the second half of the episode. In episode 10, when Hakua transfers to Souta's school, his classmates are excited by it, and state that she looks like a princess. Nanami, who is also in the same class, then gets up and whines that she's a princess too. | |

Nanami is a mild case in general. Akane attempts to get her to invoke it on one occasion on the grounds that it's "the most joyful thing a boy can hear!", but it just bounces off Souta. Though in episode 10, after giving him a Brutal Honesty speech, Ruri states that Nanami's "Tsundere level" is at 530,000. | |

Tsumugi ends her sentences with "be", and attaches "bou" (child) to names. Hakua tends to repeat the last two or three syllables of every sentence. Like "shimashita, mashita." or "desu, desu". | |

| If Her Flag Breaks / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Souta can see flags above people's heads, but due to incidents in the past with it, he tries to distance himself from everyone as much as possible. Not that it stops Nanami from trying to get closer however. And because of the fact that he can alter people's fates, he gets watched rather closely by a group that oversees such magic things. Episode 13 reveals he obtained this power when he saw a pillar about to crash onto the people attempting to remove the debris that fell on him on the Premium Ambriel. He was given the opportunity to save them, and alter other people's fates if he took up their death flags on himself in the process, and having to bear that burden and torment alone. | |

Out of Focus: Despite being seemingly one of the major protagonists of the show and getting a lot of screen time in the opening (as well as the cover page illustration in the picture above), Nanami largely falls by the wayside as the other girls and Megumu get to spend time with Souta and doesn't seem as pivotal to the plot for quite a while. She even tries to avoid the spotlight, often opting to not go wherever Souta and the others go, or take part in many of their activities. | |

Lap Pillow: In the sixth chapter of the manga, Souta finds himself laying on Kikuno's lap after he wakes up from a dream. In chapter 16 of the manga/episode 7 of the anime, it's Mei's lap Souta finds himself lying on. Kikuno gives him another one at the beginning of chapter 17/episode 8. Mei offers in the same chapter, but doesn't go through with it. Kikuno gives one to Hakua in episode 10 while preparing for the school festival. | |

Souta's friends suffer one at the hands of the Big Bad in episode 13. It manages to knock them out of the fight after using its powers against them. Only Souta manages to hang on and even he has trouble at first trying to get close enough to it. | |

She even goes so far as to save him, Nanami, and Hakua from a killer robot in episode 8. She removes her mask in episode 13, and Souta finds out she's Kagura Bladefield, the founder of the Bladefield Principality.

However, Sakura, the girl who gave him said abilities in the first place, takes her powers away, along with her memories of such incidents, stating that he has to discover the ultimate truth on his own.

I Want to Be a Real Man: Megumu tries to be manly, but due to his feminine appearance, and the way he acts like a girl most of the time, it doesn't work too well. Special mention to the fact that his ideas of what actually constitutes "manly" are often somewhat odd. | |

Losing Your Head | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_62cae28a | comment |
Losing Your Head: Ruri, the Robot Girl who joins the Quest dorm largely to serve Akane in episode 3. Due to the shock from the fall her box took, her head falls off as she introduces herself, understandably freaking out all of the characters, particularly as she continues speaking while her head is detached. | |

Sneeze Cut: When Souta first meets Hakua, Nanami's younger sister, in episode 8, she asks him if he's a ninja. He says he's not, but knows someone named "Ninja-bayashi". The scene then switches briefly to the mini-Ruri that's with them on the train who then sneezes. | |

The Power of Love: Souta attempts to use this to overcome Akane's death flag in the first episode after she falls through a weak spot in his apartment, by giving her a kiss. Oddly enough it works, and her death flag is erased by a romance one, along with several others that pop over her head. | |

The Reveal | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Nanami and Hakua introduce their older brother, the crown prince, in episode 9. They tell Souta and the others that he's been watching over them and taking care of them more than the current king, their father has. Shortly after this however, the prince holds a press conference revealing the king passing away, along with an assassination attempt on both girls, who are 13th and 14th in line to become the next ruler. After a reporter asks about this, he says the girls are actually his daugthers, and are the true heirs to the throne. Neither one of them was aware of that until that point, since they always thought of him as their older brother. A bombshell is exposed in episode 12 by Ruri to Nanami. Specifically that Souta is actually her brother, and part of her consciousness was separated from her in the virtual world when she attempted to follow him there at one point in the past. Her other half tried to escape, but was unable to get back to Nanami, so buried her memories inside Ruri, who was sleeping nearby. In episode 13, Number Zero removes her mask for Souta. She turns out to be Kagura Bladefield, the original founder of the Bladefield Principality, and bears an uncanny resemblance to Nanami. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Most characters have a last name (or middle name in Nanami's case) that shows what role they have in the story. The "Hata"(æ——) in Souta Hatate's last name means "flag''. Nanami Knight Bladefield is the princess knight. Akane's last name, Mahougasawa, has "mahou"(é”), which means magic. It's indicative of her role as the magician. Megumu's last name, Touzokuyama, contains "touzoku"(盗賊), which means thief. Ruri Ninjabayashi is the shinobi of the group. The "Eiyuu" (英雄) in Rin Eiyuuzaki's last name means hero. The "Shoukan"(å�¬å–š) in Kikuno Shoukanji's last name means summons, referring to her role as the summoner. Tsumugi's last name, Ryuukishibara, contains "ryuu"(ç«œ), meaning dragon, and "kishi"(騎士), meaning knight - in other words, a dragon knight. Mei Daimyozamurai is the samurai. Kurumiko's last name, Daishikyougawa, has "daishikyou"(大å�¸æ•™), meaning archbishop, indicating her role as the cleric. Mimori's last name, Seiteikouji, contains "seitei"(è�–å¸�), which means holy emperor. Angel Boat, the Big Bad of the series (or the anime at least), is literally a ship with some glowing angelic wings. | |

Driven to Suicide: Episode 9 reveals the immense pressure and guilt Souta felt from other people due to being the Sole Survivor in the Premium Ambriel sinking. He reached the point of holding a knife to his throat, although he subverts it by not going through with it. Episode 11 reveals he didn't go through with it because he saw Serika sitting on a swing with a flag on her head, and wanted to do at least one more nice thing before he took his life by talking to her and giving her hope. But after talking to her he reconsidered suicide. | |

My Greatest Failure: Akane mentions to Nanami about how she went to a library and met a girl her age there. They had a lot of fun together, but her family refused to let them stay friends due to their differences in social standings. Hence why she felt so determined to be friends with Souta and her, because she sensed they needed help just like that girl from before. | |

New Transfer Student | |

In the first episode, Nanami can't help but wonder who that boy she saw at the intersection was that seemingly prevented a semi truck from hitting them. Her only clue was that he was wearing the same uniform for her school, but since the school is really big, there's no way she'd be able to find him. As she's thinking that, the teacher presents a New Transfer Student, who just happens to be that boy she saw. She gets up, points at him and screams, before turning red from embarrassment and sitting back down. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_7d89315b | comment |
What initially seems like a "The Reason You Suck" Speech by Nanami to Souta in episode 10's beauty contest turns out to actually be one of these, when she thanks him for all he's done despite having his gloomy mood. It touches him that he even sheds some tears, and the other girls cry as well, shortly before they form another friendship tornado. Up until this point Souta thought no one noticed or cared that he was having a lot worries, and this later helps convince him that the world was worth fighting for against the Angel Boat later on. | |

Tsundere: Nanami is a mild case in general. Akane attempts to get her to invoke it on one occasion on the grounds that it's "the most joyful thing a boy can hear!", but it just bounces off Souta. Though in episode 10, after giving him a Brutal Honesty speech, Ruri states that Nanami's "Tsundere level" is at 530,000. Mei develops into one as time passes. Hilariously, in episode 8, she at first replies somewhat normally that she wasn't concerned about him. But then she stops about halfway through her speech, and then says it more coldly and turns her head away in a fasion befitting this trope. Kurumiko then says Mei was the most worried of all the others about Souta's whereabouts. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Mimori, while talking to the board of directors for their school, inadvertently adds a condition that Souta gets kicked out of the dorms if his team doesn't win the sports festival in episode 3. In episode 8, Souta is enjoying the hot springs at Akane's house. He then sees someone approaching, and thinks it's Megumu, but instead it turns out to be Rin. Both of them are wondering if they got into the wrong bathhouse, and Rin hides Souta while the other girls enter. Akane later mentions that the hot springs has set hours for men and women, but forgot to tell Rin and Souta. | |

Establishing Character Moment: At the beginning of episode 1, Nanami is waiting for a walk signal at an intersection. One guy talks to another, and says he's going to ask his girlfriend to marry him after his business deal is done. Just then a traffic accident occurs in front of them, and a big semi is heading their way. An unnamed boy, wearing the same school uniform as Nanami, says something to the gentleman. As that happens, the truck suddenly veers away from them, causing her to wonder what just happened. The boy, who turns out to be a New Transfer Student Souta, later reveals to her that he wiped out that guy's "death flag", by suggesting to him that the business deal would go bad, so he shouldn't do it. | |

Alternate Universe: Souta is taken to one by Mei in episode 7. At first everything seems normal, but Rin and Kikuno don't recognize him. He then sees the death flags of various girls that were shown before he changed them played out, such as the truck killing Nanami, and sees a person on the ship he was on when it sank. Said person was suffering from a Despair Event Horizon, though thanks to Souta's encouragement, they decide to live on and help others out, much like he did. Except that person wasn't him in the past, but rather his homeroom teacher Miyuki Hatate, who turns out to be his granddaughter in this timeline. In episode 13, Number Zero reveals more to Souta about the parallel universes and their significance. She was trying to find a way via running various simulations in other universes to see if humanity would be able to stand up to Angel Boat, which threatened humanity's existence. | |

| If Her Flag Breaks / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Episode 7 takes a much darker turn in the show's usual light-hearted comedy. Mei takes Souta to an alternate Earth, one where he died, and therefore never met any of the other characters. Death flags that were raised around him in earlier episodes end up killing several characters, due to his absence such as Nanami getting hit by the truck from the first episode along with all the other people standing in the corner, along with Akane falling through the broken floor, and Kurumiko drowning in the cave by the beach after the high tide comes in. In episode 11, Souta learns more about his ability to see flags and alter fate. In the end he removes himself from the memories of all the people he's met in the current world he was in, though Nanami seems unaffected by it. During episode 12, Souta vanishes and is forgotten about by everyone except Nanami. A lot of time seems to pass in the world, as the girls are seen during winter time, then Mimori's graduation comes up. During all that time, Souta has been fighting the Angel Boat beings in the virtual world, preventing them from taking over the world and destroying it for humanity. | |

Dynamic Entry: Nanami does one on Souta at the end of episode 1, after he gives a kiss to Akane to erase her death flag with a romance one. Ruri does a variation of this in episode 8 while Souta is spending time at Kikuno's house. She drops in from the sky, causing a large dust cloud when she lands. She then essentially kidnaps Souta, and delivers him to Akane after she offhandedly mentioned missing him. The other girls end up joining them after he calls Kikuno to let her know where he was. | |

Event Flag | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_99fe88e1 | comment |
Event Flag: Souta's main power is the ability to see flags over people's heads as well as alter them, such as replacing a death flag with a romance one as he does for Akane to keep her from dying in the first episode. Mei appears to have the same power as evidenced during her introduction in episode 6 and when talking to Souta in episode 7. However, she loses that ability shortly after meeting with Sakura, who gave Souta that power in the first place, stating that her interference would alter things. She also erases Mei's memories of those things, so she forgets everything about it. | |

Foreshadowing: The pseudo-chess game in chapter six of the manga foreshadows several characters' roles in the story. When Miyuki, the teacher, is deciding where to put Souta in episode 1 of the anime, the camera pans across the room, zooming in on Akane, Tsumugi and Megumu. (Earlier in the scene, you can see the backs of their heads.) | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: Episode 7 starts off fairly normal, until Mei shows him a much darker alternate Earth where he wasn't around, and several of the girls who had death flags over their heads get killed. Episode 8 is fairly light-hearted as well, until shortly after Souta meets Hakua, Nanami's younger sister. They're then attacked by a Robot Girl that looks suspiciously like Ruri, though mini-Ruri says it's most likely a mass-produced model that was exported to Europe. Episode 9 follows with a similar whiplash, where the first half is light hearted comedy, while the last part of the second half goes into darker territory when Souta is confronted by Number Zero for the first time. Episode 11 continues the trend by ending with Number Zero revealing the whole series is Inside a Computer System and Souta removing himself from existence. Episode 12 has an odd one. It shows Souta fighting against members of the Angel Boat, and has a generally dark tone to it. Then the cheery opening song plays... | |

Underdogs Never Lose: Souta's team does rather well during the first day of the sports festival in episode 4. But then they start suffering losses in the second day. Mimori states that winning first place isn't the only way to win, as the festival also emphasizes teamwork, and whichever team shows the most team spirit can earn an MVP (Most Valuable Player) title. Which comes in handy for them, when they place second behind the baseball team in the last event. But because of the teamwork they showed, Souta's team wins the MVP, and doesn't have to worry about getting kicked out. | |

Loophole Abuse: Used twice in episode 4: When Souta talks to Ruri privately about a worry he's having, specifically that he was going to die soon, and he can't seem to get rid of that particular flag. He then utters some words he recalled from an earlier meeting that triggers a backdoor password to a program inside of her. She reveals to him that there may be a way for him to remove that flag hounding him with the help of a group of people. But he has to first find the group of people who's going to help him in said quest. The second one occurs at the end of the episode. Souta's team doesn't place first in the sports festival. However, Mimori also says that the team that stands out the most and has the best group effort can win an MVP title, which is essentially the same as winning first place. Though Souta's team lost the final event, because of the teamwork they showed, the board of directors decides to give him the MVP title, which allows him to stay in the Quest dorms and in school. Souta in the first episode finds out he can replace a death flag with a love one when attempting to save Akane. Unfortunately for him, it works a little too well on her, who then falls in love with him. | |

Miniature Senior Citizens: Zig-zagged by Tsumugi. She was a fully grown adult who shrank as she got older - she just didn't age, resulting in her current appearance as a young girl. To her, this is perfectly normal. To everybody else, it's deeply weird. In one episode, she shows the cast a photo of a pretty woman in a kimono which, judging from the quality of said photo, was taken sometime pre World War II. She was quite a looker indeed. | |

She then says her father mentioned a lake with a rowboat for couples. Her father also said any couple who took that boat ride together would certainly break up. Interestingly, while Souta sees the obvious connection, Akane says that since they're technically not a couple, what her father said wouldn't come true. | |

You Are Better Than You Think You Are | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_c3b51bb3 | comment |
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: What initially seems like a "The Reason You Suck" Speech by Nanami to Souta in episode 10's beauty contest turns out to actually be one of these, when she thanks him for all he's done despite having his gloomy mood. It touches him that he even sheds some tears, and the other girls cry as well, shortly before they form another friendship tornado. Up until this point Souta thought no one noticed or cared that he was having a lot worries, and this later helps convince him that the world was worth fighting for against the Angel Boat later on. When Serika tells Souta and Nanami about her past when she first started out as an idol in episode 11, she told them about a low point in her idol career. She thought about giving it up, until an unnamed boy told her to continue on, because she would become a great idol that would touch the heart of people. She doesn't realize right away that said boy was actually Souta, though Nanami figures it out right away due to the fact that the boy mentioned a flag above her head. | |

Hope Spot | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Souta sees one in episode 11 when Serika shows a golden, glowing flag above her head, and similar flags stream from people's heads towards hers, which then flows to him. Then Number Zero shows up and tells him that they need him to reach out to the Angel boat. He later decides it'd be best if he removed his presence from the memories of the people he's interacted with throughout the show. Episode 13 has Nanami and the other characters arriving to assist Souta in his fight, and things initially go very well for them. However, the Big Bad shows up shortly afterwards, and delivers a Curb-Stomp Battle, knocking Souta's allies out rather quickly. | |

Shout-Out: In chapter 6 of the manga, Mimori looks like Doraemon for a panel. In the ninth chapter of the manga, one of the students participating in the survivor game shouts "Upham! Upham! Ammo, dammit!". In episode 8, Akane mentions "The Crawling Chaos". Also, one of the maids on the train pulls out a P-90 from under her skirt and assumes the exact same pose Henrietta from Gunslinger Girl does. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Souta tries to be a loner, but it's due to being the Sole Survivor on a ship accident, followed by a lot of scrutiny and blame tossed by other people as a result of it. He contemplates killing himself, but doesn't go through with it. As a result however, he attempts to avoid making friends since he doesn't want to burden them with his problems. Not that it works very well once the series begins however. | |

Dude Looks Like a Lady: Due to his very feminine appearance and attire (thigh high socks and shorts), Megumu is mistaken as a girl by many characters when they first meet him. The fact that he wears the male uniform (or at least the blazer) is the only way anyone could see that he was actually a boy. | |

Souta believes it was because of his powers. Consequently, he tends to blame himself when bad things are in the offing. Kurumiko. Both of her parents were working on the ship that sank and Souta was the Sole Survivor of it. And she's struggling to make ends meet when he first meets her in episode 6. | |

Acquainted in Real Life: Main character Souta meets upperclassman Rin while training for an athletic meet. Rin keeps telling him what a pathetic guy he is and how her childhood friend Soda is the only real man she's ever known. After talking for a while about that she decides to text Soda. Souta immediately receives a text from his long-separated childhood friend "Rin-kun" saying "I was just talking and started thinking about you. Wish I could see you". The two stare at each other for a few seconds before both freaking out, all the more so since Souta thought said childhood friend was a boy. Somewhat oblique example since both "knew" who they were texting, just didn't know that their new friend was the same person. | |

Locked in a Freezer: Well, it's a cave by a beach, but otherwise the trope is played straight in episode 6. Kurumiko shows Souta a secret cave that she frequently visits to help soothe the hardships she's going through since both of her parents died. Unforunately the tide begins to rise, and soon they're trapped in the cave as the water level rises higher. A death flag also appears over Kurumiko's head, prompting Souta to try telling her various things to remove it; ultimately it's them becoming brother and sister, and having her move into the Quest dorms and attend school with him that helps eliminate that flag. | |

Because of this, Megumu often wants to do "manly" things with Souta, such as going to the bathroom together, which usually carry very romantic or sexual connotations. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: Several of the girls Souta runs into have death flags pop up over their head, and he struggles to try to replace them with a different flag: In Akane's case, he replaces it with a love flag. It works quite effectively. With Kurumiko, he says they should be brother and sister. It works initially, but she starts to despair about other things, and he says she should come to his school and live in the Quest dorm, so she wouldn't have to be alone anymore. Her death flag is then replaced with a story flag, and Ruri comes by shortly afterwards to rescue them. Souta himself went through one in episode 13, after the man he saved runs off saying he's going to get help, but doesn't return for quite a while. Ultimately subverted when the man shows up with a lot of people, including some of the female characters, and they attempt to lift the debris off of him. | |

Moments later she says she needs to stop by the restroom, then corrects herself and says the student council office, and walks away very awkwardly, as if holding in her pee. In episode 5, Nanami says she's not going out on the group date with Souta, and then "drops" an ad featuring cakes. She tells him not to worry about getting the things on the flyer, especially those limited time cakes, while showing him the flyer. She later gets mad at him when she finds out the other girls didn't know anything about it, but then the scene cuts to Souta tying a bag to her doorknob, indicating he did remember to bring some cake back to her. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_eb5b71fe | comment |
Clingy Jealous Girl: Mostly Played for Laughs with Kikuno in episode 7, after getting upset that Kurumiko becoming Souta's little sister would mean he wouldn't need a big sister. She ultimately decides it would be best if she accepts Kurumiko as her little sister as well. Rin plays it more straight when she sees Souta sleeping on Kikuno's lap at her house in episode 8, using the excuse that it would make him lazy. The former later mentions she doesn't mind seeing him like that. | |

Big Damn Heroes: Nanami and the Quest Dorm residents do this for Souta at the end of episode 12, arriving in a ship that looks suspiciously like the Premium Ambriel, and wiping out the death flags that were scattered across the sea. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Souta experiences this in episode 13, after he finds himself on the Premium Ambriel again and saves a man by holding up a bookshelf that had fallen on him long enough for him to get out from under there. Unfortunately a large stone tablet breaks and collapses, pinning Souta underneath. The man he saved looks at it briefly, then slowly backs off, claiming he's going to find help. However, he doesn't return for a long time, and the little girl who was with Souta says humans are all the same regardless of the world they're in. This trope is ultimately subverted when the man returns with a lot more people, including some of the female characters. He really was unable to help Souta on his own, and even their combined effort still couldn't get him up before a pillar was about to collapse on all of them. | |

Stupid Sexy Flanders: Although Megumu wears the boy's vest, his appearance is very feminine, and also wears thigh high stockings. When he curls up in Souta's arms after being called a boy in episode 2, the latter is momentarily distracted by his appearance and smell. In episode 5, Megumu has some cream on the side of his face, and asks Souta to get it off, but makes it look like he wants a kiss. All of the other women in the cafe suddenly have a kissing flag on their heads as they see Megumu drawing close to him. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: A couple of examples: Serika is seen singing in a video playing on a large screen near the corner where Nanami first meets Souta in episode 1. Although she appears as one of the girls in the ending, she doesn't interact with the main cast until around the very end of episode 10 and the beginning of episode 11. Megumu and Tsumugi are both seen in the same classroom Souta transfers into during the first episode. The camera even focuses on them for a brief moment along with Akane, though they don't speak and aren't properly introduced until the next episode. | |

Ninja Log: A variation of this is done in episode 10 with Kuromiko. She was supposed to be one of the judges for the beauty contest, but instead a small doll resembling her is seen by the judge's table. The real Kuromiko is walking around the crowd selling items like she did prior to meeting Souta. | |

Cool Big Sis: Kikuno is Souta's self-declared big sister, so she does sisterly things for him, such as making him lunches, giving him advice, and being a little too affectionate sometimes. She also acts like a big sister figure to the rest of the cast. | |

Running Gag | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Megumu's gender confusion. The girls keep mistaking him for a girl. He either suffers a Color Failure, or goes Blue with Shock and has Dull Eyes of Unhappiness if he hears it. He got even more depressed when he heard that he (or Nanami) might have a much cuter child with Souta than Akane would. | |

Comically Missing the Point: Souta attempts to cheer up Hakua after the king passes away in episode 9, by telling her he wouldn't want her to be sad. The other characters then arrive to cheer her up, and somehow it turns into a cheering event for Souta. He immediately wonders why they're cheering for him instead of Hakua. | |

Friendly Rivalry: Souta's harem is one of the friendliest examples of a harem around, with the members largely treating it as a good-natured competition, and being willing to encourage each other in their pursuit. | |

Cerebus Rollercoaster | |
| If Her Flag Breaks / int_fc06cf53 | comment |
Cerebus Roller Coaster: You'd be forgiven if you thought this was going to be another romantic comedy harem show based on the cheery opening/ending songs. Then Souta's Dark and Troubled Past crops up from time to time to remind you that there's a dark side to the story. The show does at least try to balance out the serious drama with the comedy hijinks, though prepare for some Mood Whiplash when it does this. | |
