* TheStoic: Shin very rarely changes his expression of casual disinterest for anything or anyone.
** So when he shows anger when he hears [[spoiler: Kimiko has been tricked to get ambushed by her students]], you can see why OOCIsSeriousBusiness.
* SurroundedByIdiots: He was able to convince his friends that his bruises and cuts were from a cupboard falling on him after a huge earthquake... until Minami points out that there hadn't been an earthquake recently.

* DistaffCounterpart: Kumiko is the Distaff Counterpart to [[GreatTeacherOnizuka Eikichi Onizuka]]. Only difference is Onizuka is a [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquent]] while Kumiko is the {{Ojou}} to a tough as nails {{Yakuza}} clan.
* GirlishPigtails: Part of her playing the docile, feminine teacher.
* LargeHam: Whenever she passionately starts talking about honor and blood brothers and such.
* LoveCanMakeYouGonk: Kumiko does this whenever she is fawning over Shinohara. Her eyes go from their usual fixed glare to big, sparkly, bishojo-standard and can flick back and forth between panels when the situation calls for it.
* {{Meganekko}}: Kumiko tries very hard to [[ObfuscatingStupidity fit this trope]], but the harder she tries, the less convincing it is.
* NeighborhoodFriendlyGangster: Her and the rest of the Kurodas.
* NerdGlasses: Kumiko's glasses are actually arguably multipurpose, and are sometimes used as MaskPower or ScaryShinyGlasses.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: She acts like a ditz to cover up her yakuza mannerisms.
* ObliviousToLove: Kumiko puts so much of herself into her work and helping her students that she doesn't notice Shin's feelings towards her at all.
* TheOjou: Kumiko's yakuza family often calls her Ojou.
* ScaryShinyGlasses: If her glasses go opaque, brace yourself.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Kumiko. She wears a sweatsuit and NerdGlasses with her hair in pig tails at school, but she's beautiful when wearing a kimono, a little black dress, or even a girlish nightgown.
* {{Yakuza}}: Of course.
