Strictly Professional Relationship | |
The Case Files of Jeweler Richard / int_1144041a | comment |
Strictly Professional Relationship: Richard claims this a few different times: Volume one, when he insists he wouldn't be upset if Seigi quit to take a different job. Volume three, when telling Seigi to pursue Tanimoto, and that Seigi is projecting his affections onto Richard because Richard is safe as he has no special feelings for Seigi. Seigi insists, regardless of how Richard feels, he's very fond of Richard. Volume four, to Jeff, when Jeff assumes Richard and Seigi are dating. | |

I Don't Pay You to Think | |
The Case Files of Jeweler Richard / int_14780a0b | comment |
I Don't Pay You to Think: Partially subverted. Richard repeatedly tells Seigi not to worry about learning the gem business, as Seigi was only hired for odd jobs and not to concern himself with customers, but he frequently enjoys teaching Seigi the business and his insights anyway. Of course, after Seigi officially becomes his apprentice, Seigi is being paid to think. | |

Belated Love Epiphany: Seigi has two of these: One in volume four/episode 9, when Richard leaves for London and he says he feels "like there's a hole in his chest. Saul causes this one and Seigi settles on "ai" to describe how he feels about Richard. Before this he does note that he's fond of Richard, but he was unaware of the intensity. The second in volume nine, when Seigi considers what his life will be like if Richard gets married to his ex and had kids and starts crying at the thought and realizes there's no reason he would do that if he didn't love Richard. | |

Embarrassing Voicemail: In volume nine, when Saul meets up with Seigi, he plays four increasingly panicked voicemails from Richard worrying about what trouble Seigi, a fully grown adult man, could get into in the six hours it would take Richard to fly there from Australia. Saul ignored all of them, despite Richard's desperate pleading for an immediate response and the fact that he was already looking up plane tickets. | |

Secret Test of Character: Richard does this to Seigi in episode one. He knows the gemstone Seigi is showing him is stolen and is trying to figure out if Seigi knows that it's stolen and is trying to sell it regardless. Saul does this to Seigi a couple of times. Usually, the premise is asking him questions about gemstones or other knowledge and turns into Saul approving of his moral choices and giving him the information he needs to proceed. | |

Manly Tears | |
The Case Files of Jeweler Richard / int_64e975cf | comment |
Manly Tears: Seigi, a lot: In episode 1 after he makes peace with the owner of the ring that his grandmother stole as he realizes that the misdeeds she committed were for her family's sake. In episode 5 after his last conversation with Hase-senpai. After he sits inside Richard's car, he breaks down in tears, saying that he's no hero, and that he's not right at all. Richard comforts him, telling him that his kindness is something he admires and at times, even envies it. In episode 10 after Richard confronts him over his reckless acts and tells him the people Seigi loves want him to be happy. Twice in volume 9: once after he speaks with Tanimoto and he allows himself to give up on her, and once at the thought of Richard getting back together with Deborah. In volume 10, Seigi breaks down into tears thinking he's ruining Richard's life by wanting to be in it, and again after Richard comforts him and tells Seigi that they're a part of each other now. In volume 10, Richard also has a tearful moment after Seigi tells him he'd be happy if Richard could be the place Seigi belongs and can always return to. | |

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard / int_7c82a67c | comment |
Snooty Haute Cuisine: Wealthy Blue Blood Richard adamantly refuses to drink any tea that comes in a bottle, claiming it has "died" and the soul is gone—which means making fresh tea from expensive leaves imported straight from Sri Lanka, every time. He also refuses to let Seigi buy sweets on sale, on the idea that buying sweets with an eye to price is less meaningful and disrespectful to the people they will later be served to. Of course, he also frequently takes Seigi out to fancy dinners together—and then orders himself strawberry parfaits. | |

Anywhere but Their Lips | |

Anywhere but Their Lips: Richard and Seigi have a number of mouth-adjacent kisses, and yet never quite seem to make it to the mouth.: In volume four, Richard kisses Seigi's cheek after things are resolved with the White Sapphire. Seigi initially denies it was a kiss, but admits it was later. In volume nine, Richard kisses Seigi's forehead to comfort him, after talking about the potential for their romantic relationship. In volume ten, Seigi kisses Richard's finger to show his devotion to him. Also in volume ten, Richard returns Seigi's kiss to his finger...to Seigi's finger—or perhaps it was his mouth after all, but Seigi has no interest in admitting to that and insists it was only a hand kiss. | |

Richard leaving vague clues for Seigi based on conversations they had previously about gemstones. In volume nine, Vincent asks Seigi everything he knows about coral as a gemstone. In volume ten, Octavia sets up a riddle game with Seigi and Richard to test Seigi's knowledge of gemstones and Richard's knowledge of ancient Japanese literature. | |

Significant Name Shift | |
The Case Files of Jeweler Richard / int_bfdbf829 | comment |
Significant Name Shift: Richard has called his mother by her first name for over twenty years because she didn't like being called "Maman" (they're French)—it made her feel old. But she's forgotten this incident entirely and is now hurt by the distance between them. Once they work through their relationship, Richard calls her "Maman" again, which inspires Seigi to call up his own mother and change from calling her by her first name "Hiromi" to "Mom." | |

There Is Only One Bed: Averted. There's only one room, but it has two beds. Of course, since Richard doesn't like sharing bedrooms at all, this is still a vulnerable moment for him. | |

Relationship Labeling Problems | |
The Case Files of Jeweler Richard / int_c5f2eeff | comment |
Relationship Labeling Problems: Seigi and Richard have a great deal of struggle naming their relationship with each other. While others have plenty of suggestions over the series (mostly "lover" or "boyfriend"), the first time they even feel comfortable calling each other friends is after a conversation about it in volume 8 and they deny any other facet of their relationship other than "boss" and "employee" even after that's long past relevant. In volume 9, they have a conversation about what the difference between their relationship and dating even is (and come to the conclusion the answer is...not much). In volume 10, they have another conversation trying to settle on what their relationship is and end on "person that I like," until they finally, finally settle on "partners" in the epilogue. Because of course that couldn't mean at least seven different things. | |

There Are No Coincidences: Richard tells Seigi at the end of the first episode and first case, their meeting must be something like fate because of a series of coincidences that led to Seigi having a ring from his grandmother with a stone that came from the homeland of Richard's grandmother, that was refined in Europe and eventually made its way to Japan, much like Richard has an ancestor from Sri Lanka, was born in Europe, sort of refined in Sri Lanka, and found himself in Japan. Of course, the pink sapphire is more meant to represent Seigi, in the end. Seigi also compares his first meeting with Richard to meeting a destined lover if only Richard was a woman. | |

Cry into Chest: Seigi, to Richard's chest in episode 10/volume 4 after Richard tells Seigi how important he is to him. In the novels, Richard pulls away almost immediately, but the anime shows him hugging back. Happens again in volume 9. Seigi begins to cry at the thought of Richard getting back together with his ex, and Richard pulls him in for a hug. | |

The Case Files of Jeweler Richard / int_d71b39df | comment |
Gemstone Motifs: Most of the chapters/cases have jewels in their names. The anime does the same with episode titles. The more major characters also tend to have jewels associated with them. Seigi is pink sapphire and "justice for the weak" which is carried through even in his name, which means "justice" in Japanese, and Tanzanite from the "Tanzanite of Rebirth" case. Richard is white sapphire, for insight and clarity, which he gives to Seigi often. Jeffrey, the mysterious cousin of Richard who never seems to let anyone know his true self and indeed has more than one, is alexandrite, the color-changing gemstone. | |

Series Fauxnale | |
The Case Files of Jeweler Richard / int_f9c3ecc6 | comment |
Series Fauxnale: When originally publishing the volumes, the author and editor believed volume four would likely be the last one published, and so it was written to serve as a conclusive end to the series if it was not allowed to continue. Fortunately, the series proved popular enough for the author to continue. This carried over into the anime adaptation, as episode ten feels very much like a finale despite the series continuing to twelve episodes. | |
