* Irony: Kawai is a police officer, who dislikes the police surprising many characters admitting she doesn't like their dramas or movies, even stopping a manga she liked because the sequel has a police setting, [[spoiler: is implied that Kawai herself married a police officer in the future]]

* {{Hypocrite}}: As a female police officer, Fuji isn't fond of StayInTheKitchen attitudes and stereotyping in regards to female officers, the former of which is part of why she quickly got annoyed with Shikine. However, this doesn't stop her from trying to use her gender as an excuse to get out of work or training, nor did it stop her from lying about her exact role in the force during a mixer as to not scare off the guys she and Kawai were with. This is all PlayedForLaughs of course.
** Also justified because when she used her gender as a excuse for training she was being a Troll to the lieuntenant.

* BigBrotherWorship: While not her sister, later in the manga is shown Kawaii admires Fuji a lot, who act like a Mix between SternTeacher and CoolBigSis.

* DumbassHasAPoint: While Kawaii is TheDitz sometimes she is shown to be right with even Fuji changing to her point of view, for example: When she and the other officers raided a thief's apartment Kawai was extremely meticulous in her search for any missing items, even when others complained (because she was looking in the garbage making the apartment smell bad) she says that she had to look into another woman's private belongings making her feel like she knew her even if she hadn't met her and she didn't want her to get in anymore trouble because now she is going to be all alone in this apartment while her boyfriend is in prison, so the least they could do is make things more easier her, so she could live quietly, also she can't really take the thief word at face value, after saying that Fuji started helping Kawaii look for any possible jewelry the could have missed,[[JerkassRealization and the thief start looked in shock]]
* Irony: Kawaii is a police officer, who dislikes the police surprising many characters admitting she doesn't like their dramas or movies, even stopping a manga she liked because the sequel has a police setting, [[spoiler: is implied that Kawaii herself married a police officer in the future]]

* WhatWouldXDo?: When Kawaii is in a pinch she thinks what would Fuji do. [[spoiler: Considering she becomes the first female principal of the police academy of the prefecture, she succeeds.]]. It reaches the point that higher ups start thinking she is going to be a big fish in the future.

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: Fuji was forgiven rather quickly for Kawaii with even her surprised, after learning that the reason she joined the Koban was to see if white angel come back because she looked similar to Sakura, using her as a bait, justified because Fuji has shown a BigSisterInstict with Kawaii and she admitted to regret this even wishing White Angel never coming back, or that he is even near Kawaii]].

This is all PlayedForLaughs of course.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Despite displaying some rather StayInTheKitchen views, he's quick to be a bit of a slave driver towards Kawaii, making her his patrol partner while explicitly stating he doesn't plan to go easy on her, dragging her around town, and dragging her into a conflict with {{Yakuza}} thugs due to his inability to think ahead.

* HiddenDepths: Turn out Kawai is extremely good at making criminal sketches, because even if the drawing aren't pretty, she is good inferring characteristics of the witness statements and her sketches are easy to recognize. During her run with the TheYakuza while scared, she was shown to be less afraid than [[SmallNameBigEgo Shikine]] who could barely speak.
