Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds
and expectations. (credit: TV Tropes)
In other words, tropes are most often
certain situations that have been used so many times in a particular type of work, that they are associated with that
genre.
For example: kabe-don within shoujo or
romance-oriented works, or a wardrobe malfunction within ecchi-oriented works. Shimapan is an example of an apparel trope.
Other examples of tropes within anime/manga include: the beach/vacation/Christmas/alternate-universe episode, the
misunderstanding, the love triangle etc.
