* AmbiguousGender: Whether Tsugumi is actually a boy or a girl was never made clear in the show, as nobody has ever been able to provide confirmation. To make matters worse, there are various self-admitted lies, RedHerring and contradictory statements coming from every direction, making it all the more confusing. Though judging from the character's reaction to their own page in the "Banana files", it is possible that Tsugumi really is male.

* AgentScully: When Olivia asks why she hasn't tried using magic to heal Agrippa, Oka admits that she doesn't actually believe that that stuff works.
* DarkIsNotEvil: She looks terrifying and has an active interest in things like hauntings and voodoo magic, but she's actually one of the nicer people in the cast.

* NeatFreak: Episode 8 reveals that she cleans her desk with alcohol, so much so that Olivia can't find a single bacteria on it through her game. After learning that Hanako's writing mat hat fecal bacteria on it, Kasumi offers to sterilize everything that she owns.

* SignatureScent: Sadly for her, she has armpits that smell horrible. She's noted by other characters to have terrible body odor. She is oblivious to it at first, but when she catch catches on and gets she becomes self-conscious about it.
** TruthInTelevision: When Hanako smells her armpit, she says that Olivia has apocrine sweat glands. East Asians have been found to have very few apocrine sweat glands compared to those of European and African descent and thus have little-to-no body odor. Therefore, it makes sense that Olivia would have bad body odor compared to the Japanese Hanako and Kasumi (who in the same episode are noted to not have any body odor).

* TheScrooge: Despite not ever flaunting her wealth, she's shown a few times to be extremely cheap. She offers to buy an extremly rare and valuable Blue-Eyed Delinquent card from Olivia for the equivalent of roughly 60 cents, and in Episode 7 after proclaiming that she can't be bought Tsugumi bribes her with cheap nail polish from the dollar store.

* DCupDistress: She has the biggest bust of the main cast, but laments that nothing good has ever come of it-- she has a hard time buying clothes in her size and the shirt that she makes for her Home Ec homework exposes her cleavage.
* DoesNotLikeMen: She has a violent fear of men for reasons unknown. When she meets Maeda for the first time (by virtue of him suddenly appearing behind Hanako), her reaction is to scream at Hanako to stab him with her umbrella.

* BadBadActing: She starts off speaking with a terrible American accent to try and hide her not actually knowing English. She mostly drops it after the first episode but it still pops up whenever she's trying to tell a lie.
* DumbBlonde: She isn't studious like Hanako and Kasumi (who is only bad in English) and is consistently the most scatterbrained member of the Pass Club.

* DoesNotLikeMen: She had a fear of men throughout her life, leading her to only stick to female friends and to get a job at an all-girls school. Now she laments that this kept her from having any romantic experience whatsoever.
* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: She never grew out of romantic shoujo manga (she refers to Manga/PleaseSaveMyEarth as "my bible"), and she says that her type include handsome engineers from the moon.


Added DiffLines:

* AlienAbduction: He was abducted by aliens before his fifth attempt at passing his college final, where he had an alien superweapon stashed into his rectum.
* [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents Amazingly Embarrassing Butler]]: Hanako tends to find Maeda's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} personality and butt lasers to be cringeworthy, whereas before she used to find them cool. Apparently this change happened about a week before Episode 4.
* BlessedWithSuck: His butt laser led to him being unable to hold down a job because he would destroy his employers' toilets every time he used the bathroom.
* {{Butlerspace}}: He always comes into the scene by appearing suddenly behind Hanako, [[SpeakOfTheDevil often right after she mentions him.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: Hanako's grandfather gave him a new lease on life by teaching him to control his butt lasers, and as a result serves his family unquestioningly.

[[folder:Kasumi Nomura]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Konomi Kohara
A straight-laced, studious girl who is terrible at English. Her sister constantly beating her at games in order to boss her around has led to her hating games, but all the practice has also made her intensely good at them.

[[folder:Olivia]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Rika Nagae
A foreign exchange student from America who is excited to learn all about Japan... at least, that's what she tells people. In reality, while her parents are foreigners she was born and raised in Japan and doesn't know a word of English, but she really wants to learn about Japanese pastimes and so forms the Pastimers club with Kasumi and Hanako on the promise of her teaching Kasumi English.
