* TheCameo: Kuro, of ''Manga/ShoulderACoffinKuro'', one of Kiyuduki's other works, can be seen checking out the school and walking off in the background in episode two.

* BlueMeansCalm: Discussed in one strip. Namiko complained she has been tired lately, probably due to the stress of being the OnlySaneMan of the cast. MsExposition Miyabi suggests the colour blue is effective in cases like that. In the next frame, we see Namiko sitting under a blue sky, and certainly, she is able to calm down and relax with the colour. Sadly the [[MomentKiller moment is killed]] by [[GenkiGirl Tomokane and Nodamiki]] squeeing at the blue sea.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: {{Lampshade}}d. The girls discussed why WesternAnimation 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.

* ForcedPerspective: The Art Club's school festival exhibit in volume6 is a room filled with forced perspective art pieces. Classics such as the perspective room were present.

* {{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]].

** For GA-1's home appliance design assignment, one of Tomokane's designs is a rather blatant ShoutOut to ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}''.

* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Downplayed with [[GodCreatedCanonForeigner Marianne van Tienen]], a French exchange student from the PSP game who later appears in volume 4. Although the characters repeatedly mention that she's French, her surname is actually Dutch.

* AlwaysWithYou: After the previous club president, Nozaki Fujiko, graduated, many of the Art Club members left with her, until only Awara was the only remaining member. Uozumi eventually returns, promising to Awara that he'll stick around with the Art Club until they both graduate.

** Natsuki, the little girl Kisaragi talks to and who we eventually learn is part of Ayanoi's junior school, is first formally introduced in Volume 4 before becoming a semi-recurring cast member in the latter half of the manga.

* PuniPlush: WordOfGod said this is in ''puni''-{{moe}}, after all.

* 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 an unseen neighbor of hers).

* TwoTeacherSchool: Averted. GA-1 has homeroom Satoma and co-homeroom Usami, and GA-3 has Sasamoto as their homeroom--who also supervises the Art Club. GA-2's homeroom Morita also shown up in one scene and so have the principal and the school nurse. The manga averts this even further by adding a music teacher.

Ayanoi High School's G.A. is a class that specializes in the arts. It's at G.A. that a particular five are focused on. Kisaragi Yamaguchi, Miyabi "Professor" Oomichi, Namiko Nozaki, Tomokane and Miki "Nodamiki" Noda. The manga uses its arts class setting well, using this as a chance to teach the audience a few things about color, composition and other things that are usually done at these sort of schools. The {{yonkoma}} manga was written by Creator/SatokoKiyuduki, otherwise known for the artwork of Creator/StingEntertainment's ''VideoGame/DeptHeaven'' games.

* ForcedPerspective: The Art Club's school festival exhibit in volume6 is a room filled with forced oerspectove art pieces. Classics such as the perspective room were present.

* SiblingRivalry: Tomokane can't hide her disdain towards her older brother due to unfulfilled SiblingRivalry, which boils down to...

* SternTeacher: There are a couple in the school. Sonoma tries to be this but often fails when it comes to Noda and Tomokane, but the fashion design teacher Koshinl Yoshino is notorious for her harsh criticisms of homework. Her class itself averts this, as she lets the students read up on any materials they need to finish their assignments at their own pace--but that time to themselves is the reason she expects them to have come up with something rather than slacking off.

* SchoolFestival: Sports Day is covered in volume 6, with the girls spending time preparing for the event and participating in the event itself.

* BlandNameProduct: When Noda wanted to refer to the marks of Louis Vuitton and Cartier in Episode 1, it was blurred over

**

* BlandNameProduct: When Noda wanted to refer to the marks of Louis Vuitton and Cartier in Episode 1, it was blurred over 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.

* BlandNameProduct: When Noda wanted to refer to the marks of Louis Vuitton and Cartier in Episode 1, it was blurred over.

** Most of the art club is under the firm belief that Awara and Uozumi are clse to becoming a couple.

* ShipperOnDeck: The GA as a whole likes to assume that Usami-sensei and Sotoma-sensei are a couple, even insisting that he go look after her when he had to temporarily fill in for her class due to her being sick.

* BrickJoke: On chapter has Tomokane excuse her unfinished and missing summer homework with the excuse that "[[AFogAteMyHomework it blew away in the wind]]". When she actually completes her makeup work by the end of the chapter, she ''still'' doesn't turn it in because ]]LaserGuidedKarma this homework really did blow away in the wind and was destroyed in rain water]].

* MistakenIdentity: One chapter has Tomokane make a cardboard costume of Namiko, which Professor, Kisaragi, and Noda also participate in. When time comes to dispose of them all, Noda and Tomokane's brother are mistaken for Awara in the costume (since Awara is well known for weird stunts), and Kisaragi mistakes the brother for Namiko (since she saw all of her friends but her at that point).

** Awara and Tomokane's brother is seen among the FacelessMasses in the first scene of the first episode. Homura also appears to sliding down a hill.
** Also the whole Art Club cast appears in episode 2, which is 1 episode before their proper introduction.

* ShaggyDogStory: Awara's ''kamishibai'' project for a preschool ends up as this. The story's development process, thanks to the efforts of the GA crew, evolved into a somewhat passable story of a sprite gathering her rainbow colore friends to take the color back from a witch. Despite all of the work they put into it, the children only paid attention to Homura's crude drawings and excitable explanations for them.
