** Since most Western viewers only knows Kasuga through this and ''LightNovel/GonnaBeTheTwinTail'', many wonder if she has a GirlishPigtails fetish.

* CastingGag: The romantic subtext between [[Creator/KanaHanazawa Akane]] and [[Creator/SaoriHayami Karen]] can be pretty funny if you watched ''LightNovel/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'', where they played competing with each other protagonist's two main LoveInterest.

* ShoutOut: In Teru's ImagineSpot in episode 11, Hikari (as a warrior) wore [[LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon Hestia]]'s breast ribbon.

** In Chapter 29 (adapted as parts of Episode 6A and 10B), Kanade had that twice; first when the castle she [[ThePowerOfCreation materialized]] came crumbling down and injured both Shuu and Akane, and later when she overheard the severity of Shuu's injuries and why the castle collapsed--for the latter, the InsertPaymentToUse/EquivalentExchange nature of her RoyaltySuperpower.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Relatively speaking. Works in ''Kirara'' usually focus on a FourGirlEnsemble or similar, so it is highly uncommon to have a series that has close to 20 recurring characters.

* PantyShot: Akane has a constant fear of this happening, and will do anything short of [[FridgeLogic wearing spandex shorts]] to avoid it. Of course, narrative convention ensures that it happens to her anyway.

* {{Yonkoma}}: Of course!
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The royal family seems to have this problem. Shuu and Teru have more realistic colors of black and strawberry blonde. However, the rest range from peculiar to outrageous. Akane has hair the color of strawberry jam, Aoi has indigo hair, while Haruka has lavender colored hair.

* HairColors: The Sakurada kids have hair hues that go across the spectrum, with Akane having red hair for example, while Misaki has ''pink''.

** It bears repeating, Akane is just the fourth of ''nine'' kids. Mom and dad Sakurada have been busy, for sure.

** Royal Sakuraka Academy assigns the three grades different colors for the students uniforms (skirts and ties for the girls, just the ties for the boys, plus their tracksuits for gym), with red for the freshmen, green for the juniors and blue for the seniors.

** Akane has her Childhood Friend [[SchoolgirlLesbian Karen]] and the vice-class rep Fukushina, which is also secretly the president of her InstantFanClub.

* {{Nosebleed}}: At the end of ''The Princess' Skirt'', this happened to ''all'' the 10th grade boys and [[SchoolgirlLesbians Karen]] after Akane innocently flashed in front of all of them.

* QuiveringEyes: A few times, mainly when RealityEnsues set in.

* RealityEnsues: The anime seems to use this trope to deconstruct superpowers, albeit lightly, and were mostly resolved in the end.
** Aoi's complex about [[CompellingVoice her superpower]] is based on the fear her reputation was not a real one.
** Kanade has been haunted by her [[spoiler:crushing Shuu's leg some 12 years ago]], which eventually was due to the misuse of [[ThePowerOfCreation her superpower]] leading to the dematerialization of items she previously materialized.
** The anime explained Akane's social phobia ''also'' as a consequence of an superpower misuse: [[spoiler:when she was playing at Karen's house as a child, she destroyed Karen's house as she overexerted [[GravityMaster her superpower]] to fight intruders, putting her into the center of attention ''very'' negatively.]]
** Probably due to Akane's experience above, Teru has to make vows to his parents to limit the use of [[SuperStrength his superpower]]. This in turn make him feel useless, since that superpower... isn't one that needs to be used often in TheNewTens Japan.

* AChildShallLeadThem:
** According to Chapter 23, Souichirou himself was crowned as a high schooler.
** Since all of the Sakurada siblings are under the age of twenty, this will be the case regardless of who wins the election. This is also mostly true in manga, where the election takes place at ''Akane'''s graduation; only Aoi would likely to be above the Japanese age of majority.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The series switches the focus on a different sibling each chapter, for the most part.

It has three compiled volumes as of 2015, while an adaptation by Creator/ProductionIMS[[note]]with Creator/StudioComet[[/note]] and directed by Noriaki Akitaya aired during the Summer2015Anime season.

* BigBrotherIsWatchingYou: Inverted. While the city is peppered with surveillance cameras, but the king himself had them apparently set up to make sure the kids were safe while he was doing his work at the castle. However, once the issue of the election comes up, the cameras ''then'' gain a secondary purpose -- as a ready source of viewing for the public so that they can decide who they would eventually vote for to be the next ruler. In the latter case, people started to discuss these footages as if the royalty were celebrities, PantyShot included.

** Everyone that has RoyaltySuperpower would have random periods of this, called Breakouts. Akane has a similar situation in Chapter 18, but it's due to a fever. When adopted as Episode 8A, it shows ''all'' of the 8 siblings affected by Breakouts at the same time, so that, for example, Aoi has to refrain from speaking to avoid anything she speaks [[spoiler:converted to CompellingVoice]], Shu teleporting randomly, Kanade [[ThePowerOfCreation materializing random stuff]], and Akane handling with ever-changing levels of {{gravity|master}}, etc.

* The country's monarch is always called "King", whether they be female or male
