Taro's constant enjoyment of Mio's abuse, as well as Mio's increasingly desperate attempts to try and stop him from enjoying his kink, are all played for comedy. The only reason she gets away with it is because Taro's such a masochist that he enjoys it. She refers to Taro as 'Pig Taro,' routinely subjects him to physical punishments (including kicking him in the balls), and generally beats the crap out of him on a whim. Comedic Sociopathy: Mio takes this to unparalleled levels.Comedic Lolicon: Yukinojo cranks the dial up to eleven, including going ballistic whenever Noa, the object of his perversions, uses some pills to temporarily make her look like the teenager she really is.Combined Energy Attack: Taro uses one to stop Noa's incoming destruction, gathering the energy of perverts from around the world.When he briefly gets hypnotized into Single-Target Sexuality, or even just looks at someone else, Mio defaults to 'what do they have that I don't?!' with Taro. Clingy Jealous Girl: For all of her teasing, taunting, and sadistic behavior towards Taro, Mio wants him to herself.

By this point in time, Noa already confessed as well. Cliffhanger: The 10th (and final) novel ends with Taro being confessed to by Mio, when he is already in a relationship with Arashiko.It causes both of them to develop crushes on him. For all of his masochism, he does try to treat Mio and Noa nicely. Too Kinky to Torture on the outside Nice Guy on the inside. When the story picks up, she's a Teen Genius and the top of the class. Child Prodigy: Noa was a super genius back in her childhood days.Chekhov's Skill: Taro's masochism finally works for him in during his fight with Yoshioka in the third episode.All Mio can respond with after a few flustered seconds is 'I don't know how I feel about him!' When Taro isn't around, Mio is asked point-blank how she feels about Taro.

Mio also develops a crush on Taro, but she can't spit it out because of her tsundere tendencies.

However, Arashiko has a lot of trouble actually working up the nerve to tell him.

Arashiko does eventually get over her fear of men thanks to Taro's Nice Guy attitude (masochist perversion notwithstanding).

Catchphrase: Arashiko's 'I'm scared of men!' cry every time Taro accidentally touches her physically.

Especially cute people in lavish get-ups.

Camera Fiend: Michiru always has her camera at the ready to take shots of Mio's latest de-M-ing device or cute people in lavish get-ups.

Inverted with Yukinojo, who very much does not like his beloved Noa using her special pills. Taro ( and most other males) certainly notices Arashiko's 'gifts', but at the same time Mio is still considered by many to be more beautiful, despite suffering from A-Cup Angst.

Bust-Contrast Duo: The two female leads, Mio and Arashiko, are respectively a flat-chested and violent tsundere with A-Cup Angst and a busty, shy, and sweet girl who fears being touched by men.

Bunny Girl: Arashiko and Mio dress this way at one point, hoping that it will get rid of Taro's hypno-induced Single-Target Sexuality for Tatsukichi.

Followed with a Color Failure when he sees their mom Tomoko follow suit.

Blue with Shock: Taro's reaction when he sees his sister Shizuka enter the beauty contest.

Yukinojo doesn't like it when Noa uses her age-upping pills.

Put to good use once, when Taro exploited this to get her to follow him, knowing her Berserk Button would be pressed. Never try to insult Mio in any way (especially her chest).

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Mio appears as cute as can be when Taro first meets her, but that facade is pretty quickly stripped away ten minutes into the first episode as she reveals herself to be a sadistic tsundere.

Batter Up!: Mio once pulled a baseball bat out of hammerspace, complete with projectile baseballs and a baseball player's uniform, to punish Taro with.

Batman Gambit: When the club is throwing Mio a surprise birthday party, Taro gets Mio to follow him by insulting her small boobs and calling her 'the queen bitch of the universe.' Knowing that Mio would chase Taro to beat him to a pulp for insulting her, the gambit works like a charm.

Other love interests, like his sister and mother, are Played for Laughs.

Balanced Harem: Mio and Arashiko have equal chances with Taro.
