* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. She is the only one in the class who can go toe-to-toe with Tsubaki as their skills and abilities more or less place them on equal footing. However, while Tsubaki remains diligent in her training, Benisumomo [[BrilliantButLazy sees herself as a genius and would rather laze around]], which is the only thing that holds her back from surpassing the former. Additionally, she greatly values the view that others have of her -- the aloof, yet cool upperclassman -- so much so that she feels the need to hide who she is all in to look cool to them (i.e. training alone when nobody is present), even though doing so makes her come off as a {{Jerkass}} at times, especially with her snarky comments.

* HiddenDepths: Following her and Tsubaki's duel in Chapter 56, she starts to gain an interest in men as well.

* {{Pride}}: Benisumomo has a sense of this, which Chapter 56 implies to have been damaged for some time due to Tsubaki being the one that Hana reveals the truth about men being dangerous. While Benisumomo doesn't know the full extent of what happened, all she knows is that Hana [[SecretKeeper chose Tsubaki to hold onto this secret]], and she's jealous due to a misguided belief that Hana passed over her in favor of Tsubaki instead.

* FloralThemeNaming: ''Rindou'' (リンドウ) refers to the ''Gentiana scabra'', or the Japanese gentian.

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: As much as she detests how much grief they give her, Sumire does care for Azami and Tanpopo. She made the effort to go about the day as they do in order to understand them in Chapter 43, and joined Tsubaki and several other team leaders to confront Hinagiku after discovering the latter cheated several younger classmates out of their food.

* {{Invisibility}}: Sumire's technique, "Invisibility Jutsu", allows her to become invisible to those around her.

* LiteralMinded: Sumire tends to interpret things too seriously, often to her own detriment as Tsubaki laments.
* ObsessedAreTheListmakers: Sumire is almost never seen without a checklist comprising of daily tasks and training sessions, the latter often serving as punishment for her two teammates.

* {{Bokukko}}: Rindou refers to herself using the word "boku", a male-oriented word to refer to oneself. This was a habit she picked up as a result of her upbringing.

** Per her own admission, Tsubaki's excitement over meeting [[UnseenPenPal the man she's been writing to]] left her blind to how it was affecting her, as well as those around her - especially Sazanka. It wasn't until the damage to their relationship was done did she finally realize either point.

* RaisedAsTheOppositeGender: Before transferring to the Akane Class, Rindou was raised as a male by the head of her previous village to make up for their low male population. When this didn't work, she was then raised as a girl before being transferred.

* WalkingSpoiler: Due to the fact he's the first and only male character that interacts with Tsubaki, his mere ''existence'' is a major spoiler for the last six chapters of the series.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mokuren's kind personality makes it rather difficult for her to get angry with people, even when she's in a situation where she absolutely should be. Chapter 31 [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness shows what happens when she's pushed to her limits]], and it's enough to terrify even Tsubaki and Rindou.

* TeamChef: Combined with InformedAbility. It's not highlighted in the manga or anime very much (if at all), but [[AllThereInTheManual ancillary material provided by]] ''Magazine/ShonenSunday'' lists Ume's best trait as "cooking" (while also noting that it's ''not'' a ninjutsu technique).

** After Hana accidentally revealed [[spoiler:the "men are dangerous" rule was a lie in front of Tsubaki, the former chooses to tell the truth to her in Chapter 8 after the latter and is sworn into secrecy afterward]].

** This is later {{Averted|trope}} in Chapter 61, [[spoiler:as her role as this becomes irrelevant once Hana decides to come clean with the class and reveal the truth]].

* Martial Artists Are Always Barefoot: Of the thirty eight characters, eight of them (Sazanka, Higiri, Hasu, Uikyou, Hinagiku, Kibushi, Benisumomo, and Touwata) wear toeless/heeless torenkas or socks. One (Shion) wears only footwraps. And three (Itadori, Oniyuri, and Shakuyaku) go completely barefoot.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Really stands out with this, especially among the younger students no less. Being tall, [[BoobsOfSteel busty]] and tanned in a village full of average-sized, pale, not especially well-endowed girls.

* TheUnreveal: [[spoiler:Outside of his letters and combined with the rule forbidding men and women from interacting, ''nothing'' about him is actually known or seen, [[NoNameGiven not even a name]]. Even when finally meeting Tsubaki in Chapter 61, we don't actually get to really see what he looks like]].

* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: Because of the rules that forbid contact between men and women for both the Akane and Aoi Classes, he doesn't make an appearance outside of his letters. In fact, almost ''nothing'' is known about him, [[NoNameGiven including his name]]. The only thing physical-wise that's known about him is his height, written as "roughly 5 shaku and 7 sun"[[note]]This is a form of Japanese measurement. One shaku is 30.3cm and one sun is ~3.03 cm, placing him around 5'7''[[/note]]. [[spoiler:Even when finally meeting Tsubaki in Chapter 61, the reader doesn't get a good glimpse of him]].

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Both PlayedStraight and {{inverted|Trope}}. In the character art, nine of the thirty-eight characters are wearing sandals while the rest either wear stirrups, bandages, or go barefoot. However, in the anime proper, most of these barefoot characters are shown to have opted for sandals, bringing the total to twenty-six, while the remaining twelve[[note]]Sazanka, Shion, Itadori, Higiri, Hasu, Uikyou, Hinagiku, Kibushi, Oniyuri, Benisumomo, Touwata and Shakuyaku[[/note]] continue to play this trope straight.
