Unlike a typical Alpha Bitch, she's not very popular she's way too smart to be a normal Alpha Bitch and she's not a cheerleader.
Alpha Bitch: Mayu Miyuki may or may not fit this trope.
Almost Kiss: Several instances of interruption by others when Kaoru and Aoi are about to kiss.The second subversion (and indeed the entire episode) may also be an example of Or Was It a Dream? All Just a Dream: Subverted on two occasions in the Christmas Episode.Adaptation Distillation: At least as far as the anime covers, it resequences certain events, yet maintains a coherent story flow.Achey Scars: Kaoru's, courtesy of his ol' mean grandpa."Fairly innocently"? Chika planted herself crotch-first in Kaoru's face, how the hell is that innocent?!.A couple of them - Chika and Tina - even attempt to use the situation to their advantage in their pursuit of Kaoru.Also arguably subverted, in that everyone knows and admits that it's not Kaoru's fault. Accidental Pervert: What's Kaoru to do, with all these clumsy, often-half-dressed girls chasing after him every which way? Something of an inversion in that it's nearly always the fault of the girl in question.Abusive Parents: In this case, an abusive grandfather.See also Umi no Misaki, the creator's subsequent (ongoing) series, also a harem-based romantic comedy but with very different relationship dynamics. Ran from 1998 to 2005, with an anime adaptation in 2002 (and a follow-up, Enishi, in 2003). (Except in that some were already in love with him long before the beginning of the series.) Hilarity Ensues, as Kaoru and Aoi (who pose as tenant and landlady) try to keep their relationship a secret. Sure enough, almost immediately a group of college girls move into the mansion, one by one - and all of them fall in love with Kaoru. After they meet up again as adults, and he properly falls in love with her, they decide to reaffirm the engagement but are forced into an unusual situation: in order not to shame the Sakuraba family, they must keep their relationship a secret even as they move into a Sakuraba mansion with the help of Aoi's guardian, Miyabi Kagurazaki. Aoi - who had loved him since childhood and dreamed of marrying him - is unable to accept the annulment and tracks down Kaoru to find out why he doesn’t want to marry her. After taking great pains to escort the woman to her destination, he discovers that she is really his childhood friend, A oi Sakura ba, whom he had promised to marry almost two decades earlier.Įxcept that the engagement had been annulled by the Sakuraba clan when Kaoru left the Hanabishi clan, after years of abuse from his grandfather. Kaoru Hanabishi, an ordinary college student, runs into a beautiful young woman dressed in an old-fashioned kimono, lost and flustered in the complicated Tokyo subway system.
