This story was originally published as a 12-volume [[Manga]] from 2000 to 2003 before being adapted as a [[Twelve-Episode Anime|Thirteen Episode Anime]] in 2003. All thirteen episodes of the English dub are [http://www.youtube.com/show/nanaka617 available] on [[YouTube]], though the last five episodes are mislabeled<ref>The video titles and descriptions act as if the [[Bonus Episode]] is in its chronological place when it's actually at the end of the series.

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Nanaka's dad is nice, but entirely clueless.

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: averted for Nenji : Nanaka is fed up by his attitude, and Amemiya only starts being interested in him when the plot has him become gentler. But inverted with Nanaka, who suddenly becomes popular with boys because of her "bold" and "shameless" behaviour.

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: Yoshida makes minor appearances in episodes 6 and 7 before before his actual introduction in episode 8.

* [[The Chew Toy]]: Arashiyima. The poor guy gets effortlessly beaten up by Nenji repeatedly, his little sister keeps hitting him with a stick, and more generally he suffers complete humiliation every time he appears on screen.

* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]]: Nanaka isn't too fond of Kuriko, especially after she spends too much time with Nenji in episode 5. The feeling is mutual with Kuriko towards Nanaka.

* [[Color Failure]]: After Nanaka has a fight with Nenji, she angrily brushes off her dad's attempt to spend more time with her. It affects him so much that he stays in that same exact position till the end of the episode.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Nenji lost his father when he was 8. It's a plot point at least two times in the manga : it's his [[Freudian Excuse]] for becoming a violent [[Delinquents|Deliquent]], and it helps him {{spoiler|[[Spotting the Thread]] when 17-year Nanaka pulls a [[Batman Gambit]] in order to get rid of her 6-year [[Split Personality]], as 6-year Nanaka would never have any memories of Nenji's father's funeral}}.

* [[Dojikko]]: 6-year-old Nanaka.

* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: 17 year old Nanaka has them on the school trip to Kyoto.

* [[Eighties Hair]]: Arashiyima's mullet is mocked by Nenji, of all people.

* [[Exact Eavesdropping]]

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Nanaka's dad.

* [[Girl Posse]]: All much worse than the actual [[Alpha Bitch]].

* [[Growing Up Sucks]]: Nanaka and Amemiya.

* [[Hopeless Suitor]]: Amemiya probably feels this way through most of the series. Doesn't help that 17 year old Nanaka rubs it in with Nenji being the "most precious thing to her in the world." in one episode.

* [[I Let You Win]]: Manga-only. {{spoiler|In Satsuki's [[Backstory]], when she and Nenji were little children, he stole her bokken, gave her a piko-piko hammer, and told her that if she manages to hit him with it, he'll give her back her bokken. She tries many times, and fails ; but, when she tearfully says that the bokken is a treasured birthday present from her brother, and swears to get it back, Nenji lets her hit him, and give it back}}.

* [[It Got Worse]]: Poor Nenji in episode 8. He catches a cold, and Kuriko, Nanaka, and Amemiya all make it a point to take care of him. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as the first two girls make a mess of things as they continually try to one up each other, with Amemiya largely being caught in the middle.

* [[I Will Wait for You]]: At the end of the manga, [[Invoked Trope|invoked]] by {{spoiler|Amemiya}}, who, in {{spoiler|her}} thoughts, ask for {{spoiler|Nanaka to wake up soon from her coma, so that, one day, she could ask her blessings regarding Nenji, who, up until there, stayed at Nanaka's side so he takes cares of her, even though he and Amemiya are now a pair}}.

* [[Kabuki Sounds]]: Whenever Satsuki Arashiyima talks, as part of the joke.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: {{spoiler|17-year old}} Nanaka, most notably in episode 7 when she {{spoiler|walks right past an injured child.}}

* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''Magical Domiko''.

* [[Squeaky Eyes]]

* [[Take a Third Option]]: When Kuriko and Nanaka force Nenji to take one of them to the Pop'N Land theme park in episode 5, he decides to take both of them, or else he won't go. Both girls reluctantly agree.

* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Nenji pretty much lays it out to Nanaka while back in her 17 year old state of mind on the school trip. She responds by giving him repeated slaps.

* [[Time Compression Montage]]: The ''Magical Domiko'' play.

* [[Training Montage]]: Nanaka learning to play the piano.

* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: The premise of the series.
