History Characters / TanakaKunIsAlwaysListless

* BrokenAce: [[spoiler: She seems perfect on the surface, but most of it is an act to rectify her FriendlessBackground. The real Shiraishi prefers wearing glasses, putting her hair up in an unflattering style, and not wearing make up.]]

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Tanaka understands his laziness can be aggravating to others and as such sees himself as trash. As it's shown, he's actually barely a nuisance.

* HiddenDepths: Tanaka cares for and appreciates his friends ''waaay more'' than what he shows, and he is known among them as both a sincere and kind individual who happens to be a {{sleepyhead}}. Due to his HeroicSelfDeprecation, he also thinks that he is not worthy of their friendship.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: While she's very competent and popular now, her FriendlessBackground still affects her thought process, and as such she has a tendency to beat herself up over any mistakes.

* TranquilFury. Rino is the very definition, often engaging in PassiveAggressiveKombat to try to get her points across, mostly against Ohta (unsuccessfully) and Tanaka himself. In spite of her serene demeanor, there are things that do irritate Rino, like the mention of Ohta, and more importantly, she really doesn't like how her brother easily engages in [[HeroicSelfDeprecation self-deprecation]] and his penchant of beating himself for not being a brother worthy of her. If anything, Rino loves him just the way he is and she doesn't appreciate that someone she loves thinks so little of his own worth.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She beats herself at not being able to satisfy Tanaka and Ohta, and she is under the impression that they think that she's awful. On the contrary, both boys admire her hard work and earnest disposition.

* PeekABangs: Although her hair is short, her bangs are long enough to cover her eye.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: She challenges Tanaka to a fight and comes dressed in the manner of a classic female delinquent, and is thereafter immediately exposed by Ohta as loving pastries like him yet unable to eat cutely-shaped ones due to fawning over them. Their fight winds up a game of go, too, though mostly because Tanaka says he's already lost in a physical one without even fighting.

One of Tanaka and Ohta's guy friends. A member of the soccer club who, and not the brightest light bulb around, but is surprisingly gifted in many other skills.

* {{Ahoge}}: It seems to disappear when he's wearing his soccer uniform, though....

* AmbiguousDisorder: His levels of {{sleep|yhead}}iness and lethargy is definitively not normal. On the other hand, viewers are not given clues about which of the many lethargy / fatigue-causing conditions he may have.

* LastLousyPoint: She'd like Ohta if he weren't getting in the way of her affections towards her brother. Even when she's referring to him spitefully, she has nothing but praises for him, which in turn makes her even more annoyed at Ohta.

* CryCute: He never takes things too seriously... but if Saya berates him, [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/j52hPW4i4aSUD4Qx0yLS1epHQYF4zLsgSx09hQLev6oETP6J2J5REhlv42QzQ83SnOj2_7Q5MVlkFA=s0?title=007_1476915381.png he melts into a puddle of tears]].

* {{Bishonen}}: Lampshaded by Saya in ch.22, who comments that he looks like a prince.

* ChickMagnet: Rino's teammates all point out how attractive he is when he comes to watch one of the volleyball games Rino manages. In fact, given his {{Bishonen}} looks, he'd probably be pretty popular at his own school if not for his [[LazyBum personality...]]

* {{Bishonen}}: Has a pretty face and despite his tall height, maintains a slender physique.

* {{Meganekko}}: Shiraishi later ditches contacts in favor of these because they strain her eyes. This does not affect her popularity.

* RapunzelHair: Her hair is the longest of the main cast, even for her size.

* {{Megane}}: Invoked example; he never stops wearing them as he feels he's plain without them.
