* KansaiRegionalAccent: Yun is from the Kansai region. In English scanlations, her speech is usually rendered in [[TalkLikeAPirate pirate fashion]].
* KickedUpstairs: Haijme Shinoda works in the character design room despite being part of the animation team because ''there's no more room'' for her to work in the animation room.

* ShownTheirWork: Tokunou realistically portrays the ''usual'' working conditions in Japan in general, and the Japanese video game industry in particular, although he had to tone it down in order to give the manga a LighterAndSofter feel.

** Some, like Kou (and later Rin and Aoba), are reported to sleep in the office in order to be able to work long hours and meet deadlines faster.

* SuperOCD: Kou has the tendency to redraw the same things many times to change even the slightest details. She even takes too long to take Aoba's [=ID=] picture because she finds [[SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack her suit]] irritating to the eyes.
* StepfordSmiler: Rin states that Kou used to be pretty serious when she first came into the company, and her current funny personality is a way to cope up with all the bullying she had experienced at work.
