!Tropes in Anime/MezzoForte include:

* ExplicitContent: As with director Umetsu's other work, ''Anime/{{Kite}}'', ''MezzoForte'' has a perfectly serviceable plot with or without the explicit scenes.
* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl: Mikura, who along with her natural fighting and weapons skills possesses a bit of ESP that allows her to see [[{{Seers}} glimpses of the future]]. Momomi seems to have similar precognative abilities

* GadgeteerGenius: Harada's primary function within the group

* GroinAttack: Mikura delivers a particularly wince-worthy one to one of Momoi's goons, and just to emphasize it, he drops a bowling ball on his own head immediately after.

* HeroWorshipper: Asami in the anime, to Mikura

* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:It's suggested that Mikura and Momomi might be half-sisters]]
* MafiaPrincess: Momomi, who even goes so far as to kill any of her father's employees who she feels are underperforming.

* MoreDakka: Averted, if not ''in''verted. Mikura's WeaponOfChoice is a single semiauto handgun. Not even the decency to run around GunsAkimbo! Sometimes you just need ''less'' dakka, evidently.

* RapeAsDrama: When Momomi captures Mikura, she locks her in a room with a pair of street thugs, leaving them with the advice: "You have four hours. Use your time effeciently!" [[spoiler:Subverted in that it was actually a SexBot, the real Mikura had already escaped]].
** Mikura also has a nightmare about being raped by Kurokawa and Harada at one point. Interestingly, she only classified it as a nightmare (or a rape, for that matter) when Harada came into the equation; before that she was actually quite happy with the situation.

* SexBot: Harada uses his skills to build fully functional sex bots that are virtually indistinguishable for real people. Most of the ones we see in the series are also rigged to explode. [[spoiler: This was the true identity of the Mikura the thugs had sex with, as well as the replacement for Momokichi Momoi.]]

* ThoseTwoBadGuys: The buyers for Harada's sex bot, who just keep coming back for more punishment.

!Tropes in MezzoForte include:

* AnimeHair: Harada, sort of. While his hair style is pretty wild (Think [[{{Hellraiser}} Pinhead]] and you're halfway there), it's hardly impossible.

** Mikura also has a nightmare about being raped by Kurokawa and Harada at one point. Well, okay, she only classified it as a nightmare when Harada came into the equation.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: After Momomi kills her father's subordinates in the infirmary for failing to protect him, she has a few words with her subordinates and walks off. one of her men walks in and says to the doctor "you can leave now." to which the doctor, holding up one of the shot subordinates says "But, this one's still breathing." The subordinate is then shot again.
