* LongTitle: The untranslated title reads ''Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!'' (literally "Whatever way I see it, it's your fault I'm not popular!") Yes; the three lines of orange text in the page picture ''is'' the title.

* {{Chikan}}: Was the focus of chapter 24 aptly titled, "Because I'm not popular, I'm going to get molested".

Eventually, she does get molested only to find out that her "molester" was in fact a large staff.

* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Played with. Tomoko's younger brother Tomoki does tend to get on her nerves; however, it's not because he's particularly obnoxious but rather because he's guilty of such "crimes" as catching a cold and staying in bed (while Tomoko is healthy and has to go to school) or, unlike his sister, having friends that visit him while he's ill. Also inverted, as Tomoki definitely sees Tomoko as his annoying ''older'' sibling.

* OpenMindedParent: Tomoko's dad finds her asleep in front of an eroge game with a vibrator lying on the floor. His reaction is to carry her to bed.

* ArmsDealer: Tomoko claims she has the desire to become Japan's first female dealer in illegal weaponry.
