* SempaiKohai: Most of the teams are mixed of upper and lowerclassmen, which in turn makes way for such a relationship amongst teammates. For example, Team Ox upperclassmen Shion and Suzuran act like [[CoolBigSis older sister figures]] to their underclassman, Ajisai.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Despite the marketing for the anime - plus the opening and its first episode - giving off the impression that romance would be a considerable factor, the genre is more or less placed on the back burner to promote more SliceOfLife and {{Comed|y}ic moments. In the manga, this aspect is just as circumstantial, if not borderline negligible.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Despite the marketing for the anime - plus the opening and its first episode - giving off the impression that romance would be a considerable factor, the genre is more or less placed on the back burner in favor of a SliceOfLife-heavy series. In the manga, this aspect is just as circumstantial, and it's nearly negligible as well.

* {{Iyashikei}}: Despite the romantic subtext of the series, its main focus is on CGDCT,[[note]]Cute Girls Doing Cute Things[[/note]] as well as the comedic and playful interactions amongst characters in the main and extended cast.

* NeverTrustATrailer: Contrary to what may be implied in the opening credits and the first episode of the anime, the series doesn't focus on romance, but rather on SliceOfLife / {{Iyashikei}}. In the manga, this aspect is just as circumstantial, and it's nearly negligible as well.

** The Episode 11 insert song, "Itsumo Tonari de", was sung by Saya Aizawa (Kagetsu), Creator/KonomiKohara (Rindou), and Creator/YukoNatsuyoshi (Tsubaki).

* AbortedArc: {{Subverted|trope}}. Chapter 13 deals with Benisumomo growing suspicious of Tsubaki after a game of tag in Chapters 7 and 8 have the latter easily beating Hana while she couldn't, despite their equal skill. These events make her suspect the two of them are hiding something, which ends up going unresolved for the next forty-three chapters, where Chapter 56 has Benisumomo's suspicions prove correct, albeit she doesn't figure out ''what'' exactly they are hiding.

* AbortedArc: Chapter 13 deals with Benisumomo growing suspicious of Tsubaki after a game of tag in Chapters 7 and 8 has the latter besting Hana while the former is easily defeated by her despite them being equals. Because of this, she suspects something more is going on with her, which ends up going unresolved. These suspicions are never brought up again after this chapter.

** Chapter 10 shows that Asagao marks wild fruit with her initial to stake a claim on them for later. When she discovers Hinagiku stole her fruit, Oniyuru disputes that it's just the letter 'A' with no further indication of what it stands for. In Episode 6 of the anime, this is followed up in a FunnyBackgroundEvent, showing that Asagao learned her lesson and has taken to writing out her full name rather than just her initial to avoid a repeat.

** In Episode 5 of the anime shows that Asagao marks wild fruit with her initial to stake a claim on them for later. Oniyuru disputes that it's just the letter 'A' with no further indication of what it stands for.

* {{Demonization}}: {{Justified|Trope}}. The Akane and Aoi Classes teach their students that the opposite gender is dangerous and forbid interaction between them. This is actually a lie [[TheNeedsOfTheMany made to prevent the shinobi lifestyle's extinction]] back when the Akane and Aoi Classes used to be a single entity, after an alarming number of students began abandoning their training and coupled off with each other.

* {{Elopement}}: [[spoiler:The main reason for the isolationist policies at the Akane Class. Couples abandoning the village risked the waning and possible disappearance of the lifestyle and customs of the kunoichi discipline.]]

* LadyLand: The Akane Class is an all-female tribe of kunoichi. This is enforced by the women of the village, who tell the girls that men are dangerous beasts to be avoided at all costs.

* AmbiguousTimePeriod: Unlike its two [[Manga/TeasingMasterTakagiSan sister]] [[Manga/WhenWillAyumuMakeHisMove series]], which both establish themselves in the modern-day, ''In The Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki'' does not hint at nor give any indication as to when the series takes place. Judging by the characters style of dress, it could be the Edo period, or Meiji period. But the way they speak and behave could place them in the Taisho period or even modern day.

An anime adaptation directed by Takudai Kakuchi was announced on November 8, 2021 with production being handled by [[Creator/A1Pictures [=CloverWorks=]]]. The series was licensed by {{Website/Crunchyroll}}, and aired from April 9 to July 2, 2022. The series can be watched [[https://www.crunchyroll.com/in-the-heart-of-kunoichi-tsubaki here.]]

* TheAce: Tsubaki is the top student amongst the other students. What few students can rival her usually have some flaw that gives Tsubaki the edge. For example, Benisumomo is at least on par with Tsubaki, however, she's BrilliantButLazy and is unwilling to put in the work, whereas Tsubaki is much more studious.

* CastOfSnowflakes: Despite having a cast of a whopping ''thirty-eight'' characters right off the bat, each and every one of them has their own unique design, ensuring no two characters are the same. Even Uikyou and Kikyou, who are almost exact mirrors of each other, do this with their [[ColorCodedCharacters color-scheme]] and legwear.

* {{Demonization}}: {{Justified}}. The Akane and Aoi Classes teach their students that the opposite gender is dangerous and forbid interaction between them. This is actually a lie [[TheNeedsOfTheMany made to prevent the shinobi lifestyle's extinction]] back when the Akane and Aoi Classes used to be a single entity, after an alarming number of students began abandoning their training and coupled off with each other.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Both PlayedStraight and {{Inverted}}. In the character art, nine of the thirty-eight characters are wearing sandals while the rest wear stirrups, bandages, or go barefoot. However, in the anime proper, twenty-six of the thirty-eight are wearing sandals, while the remaining twelve[[note]]Sazanka, Shion, Itadori, Higiri, Hasu, Uikyou, Hinagiku, Kibushi, Oniyuri, Benisumomo, Touwata and Shakuyaku[[/note]] continue to play this trope straight.

* EvolvingCredits: After her introduction in Episode 6, every episode afterward now includes Rindou [[https://i.imgur.com/r2oNw2E.jpg to the title card in the opening]].

* {{Iyashikei}}: Despite the romantic subtext of the series, its main focus is on CGDCT [[note]]Cute Girls Doing Cute Things[[/note]], as well as the comedic and playful interactions amongst characters in the main and extended cast.

* ShowWithinAShow: In the ''Manga/TeasingMasterTakagiSan'' spinoff, ''Karakai Jōzu no (Moto) Takagi-san'', ''In The Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki'' is a television show that Takagi's daughter, Chi, becomes obsessed with. This is touched upon in the Volume 6 omake of ''Kunoichi Tsubaki'' as well as in Chapter 208 of ''Moto'' when Nishikata and Takagi have to intervene after Chi starts to mimic the show.
