Date Rape: Saki's first date post-makeover is with a guy named Hayato, who quickly picks up on her naïveté.Corrupt the Cutie: Saki gradually turns from a naïve and relatively innocent schoolgirl into a drug-addicted prostitute thanks to being used, abused, and manipulated by several men who only see her as an outlet for their urges.The Corrupter: Hayato is this to Saki, introducing her to multiple vices, raping her, and starting her eventual downward spiral.Later, when her life is spiraling out of control, she goes back to her client to try to get money from him, but he coerces her into degrading acts before he'll pay her. Unfortunately, a picture of her with her client gets into the hands of some of her male classmates, and they coerce her into having sex with them as the price for not leaking it to the school. Compensated Dating: Saki is talked into going into enjo kosai by one of her classmates, but she is deeply guilt-ridden by her first experience and confides in her mother, who promises that she'll always be by Saki's side.When Saki looks at herself in the public bathroom mirror (just before shattering it), her hair reverts back to the long, thick plaits she had in the beginning. She starts out the story having a Friendless Background, then gets raped on her first outing with her future boyfriend, and it only gets even worse from that point on. Butt-Monkey: Saki, oh so much, to the point that it's Played for Drama and a Deconstructed Trope as the manga goes on.Broken Tears: Saki dissolves into tears upon seeing herself in the mirror and realizing what she's become after being beaten up by her former classmates near the end of the story.Some printings of the English translation move the title up so that it obscures her chest. Bowdlerise: The cover art features Saki in the process of getting undressed, exposing her breasts, with the title along the bottom.The final moments of her life has the same pose, albeit this time realizing what she has become thanks to her appearance. Bookends: The first time we see Saki Yoshida, we see her stressing about her Friendless Background and her attempts to change it. Unfortunately, Hayato is actually not nice.
