** During the costumed drawing session in Volume 4, a student dressed up as [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario]].

* AlienLunch: The dark hotpot of Chapter 21-22/episode 12 of anime. Although the incident concentrated on the one made by the GA-1 girls, apparently things are worse for your traditional Art Club Hazing...

* SiblingYinYang: While the case of {{Bokukko}} versus NonActionGuy didn't seem too out of ordinary, their parents thought her older brother was [[IllBoy too ill]] for her to make a physical response--as a result, while she kept being pwned at home, she gets more gratification outdoors and is much more aggressive.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: The Tomokane siblings not only look alike -- [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TheTomokanes.jpg Nodamiki one said the older Tomokane as a "bleached Tomokane-kun" in episode 12]], while the Art Club says at the end of Volume 4 in the manga about the younger Tomokane looking like him "toasted over a fire". -- but both were voiced by Creator/MiyukiSawashiro, hence upgrading from StrongFamilyResemblance to this.

* UncannyFamilyResemblance: The Tomokane siblings not only look alike -- [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TheTomokanes.jpg Nodamiki one said the older Tomokane as a "bleached Tomokane-kun" in episode 12]], while the Art Club says at the end of Volume 4 in the manga about the younger Tomokane looking like him "toasted over a fire". -- but both were voiced by Creator/MiyukiSawashiro, hence upgrading from StrongFamilyResemblance to this.

** When the girls go to the school's Equestrian Club, they first encounter an elegant-looking girl who seems wise and attuned with horses. Then a girl comes in, explains that the girl's the ''vice'' president, and that she herself ''is''. Well seasoned readers will pick out this twist early, as she [[EarlyBirdCameo makes an appearance]] with other club leaders in Volume 5.

* {{Kitsune}}: [[spoiler:The end of the summer festival reveals that the Noda they thought they were travelling with was actually one of the fox spirits from a shrine they visited. She swapped out roughly after the real Noda went off with Oomichi, and blessed Kisaragi with better fitting sandals after the latter's wore down. However, like the real Noda, she's plenty tricky.]]

-->'''[[TheFreddy Yoshikawa]]''': I see. Yamaguchi-san... ''really loves painting''.

** [[Creator/MarilynMonroe Pooh Pooh]] [[Film/SomeLikeItHot Be Doo]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: {{Lampshade}}d. The girls discussed why so many WesternAnimation works have an AmazingTechnicolorPopulation while {{anime}} would rather have this -- and to break the FourthWall, the shot showed their hair colours in a more vivid saturation than usual: Kisaragi is dark brown, Professor is black, Tomokane is green, Noda is pink, and Namiko is dirty yellow. By the way, Awara is reddish brown, Mizubuchi is black, Uozomi is blueish black, and Homura is blond. Yoshikawa is blond and Mitsui is blue.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Downplayed with [[GodCreatedCanonForeigner Marianne van Tienen]], a French exchange student from the PSP game who later appears in volume 4. Although Marianne is a proper French given name, her surname is actually Dutch.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Awara and Mizubuchi has been jokingly referred to as husband and wife due to their closeness, despite the fact that they are romantically involved with other people (Awara has a lot of ShipTease with Uozumi, while Mizubuchi is said to be dating or have dated an unseen neighbor of hers).

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the FestivalEpisode chapter, Noda picks up a foc mask to hide her face because she had her own face drawn all over. This sets up for the end, when [[spoiler:a real fox spirit took her place]]; other indications of this include her change of speech and her suddenly pulling out tools from her head to fix Kisaragi's shoes (both things everyone waves off because Noda's always [[CloudcuckooLander like that]]).

** A museum the girls vusut features an exhibit celebrating the works of Dick Bruna parody Deep Brunya. the main visual is of an off-brand Literature/{{Miffy}}.
