Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: In spite of her innocent and cutesy appearance and behavior, Akane is a sadistic woman who gets off on seducing men who are either already in a relationship or pined after by other women.Becoming the Mask: Akane initially agrees to go out with Narumi just to hurt Hanabi, but ultimately comes to develop more genuine feelings for him.Babies Ever After: Akane and Narumi have a child by the epilogue.Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: In a platonic sense, the reason why Akane breaks it off with Mugi in the end.Mugi slowly develops this mindset over the course of the manga, but manages to move past it after he and Akane end their relationship. At Least I Admit It: Akane knows what she's doing is wrong, but she embraces it for most of the manga until Narumi's unconditional love somewhat gets through to her.Noriko tries to seduce Mugi, but at the crucial moment he cannot bring himself to debase her because he both cares for her and respects her too much to be able to do anything of the sort to her. Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?: Invoked.This causes Hanabi to chase after her and declare that while she isn't in love with Sanae, she still cares about her and wants desperately to remain friends. Anguished Declaration of Love: A rare platonic version happens after Sanae realizes that Hanabi will never fall in love with her and decides its best to just break all contact with her.Ambiguous Situation: In decor, it's left unclear whether Akane hasn't yet cheated on Narumi because of her feelings for him, or because (as she claims) she's decided to be more discerning about who she sleeps with now that she's married.While she and Atsuya live together, she explicitly says that she won't return his feelings because she " can't do it with men." However, it's ultimately subverted in decor.
While she's not in love with Sanae, she does find her attractive and clearly enjoys fooling around with her. She wanted to be in Mugi's "world", but he didn't let her.
Still, Noriko had to drop most of the self-image she built around herself to achieve a response from Mugi, but she took it too far off from the image Mugi had of her, making him back off. Noriko tells Hanabi that she won their "competition" of sorts by at least being able to love purely and sincerely, something that Hanabi herself was pursuing but never achieved sure, Hanabi went through the more "physical" approach, but she definitely didn't leave "happy" with herself. Always Someone Better: Invoked and played with.However in decor, she describes her new lifestyle as being "surrounded by unrequited love", so emotionally the trope still applies. However, Akane and Narumi end up averting this, as Akane eventually develops feelings for Narumi, and accepts his marriage proposal. Narumi is in love with Akane, but Akane (initially) feels nothing for Narumi and only enters a relationship with him because she loves to see men's admirers cry.Mugi's Childhood Friend Noriko is in love with him.
