* ShoutOut: In Episode 12, Yamamoto talks about the "Romeo and Juliet Effect" to Yukimura, it features recolored versions of Juliet Persia and Romio Inuzuka from Manga/BoardingSchoolJuliet as the image for her explanation.

* ImpossibleTask: The second half of episode 7 involves several fairy tales being given a scientific spin courtesy of the cast. Their version of The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter involves Kaguya challenging her suitors to solve UsefulNotes/FermatsLastTheorem. The first suitor, who isn't good at math, is stumped. The second, with average ability, feels confident that he can solve it with assistance. The third, who is proficient, realizes that she doesn't intend to marry. After the tale's end, Himuro continues to a spiel on the history of the proof of the theorem before Kanade cuts her off.

A 4-episode LiveActionAdaptation aired in September 2018, starring Asakawa Nana and Nishime Shun as Ayame and Yukimura, respectively. This was followed up with an hour and a half long movie in February 2019.

* MeetCute: {{Parodied|Trope}} in the ColdOpen of Episode 5, which has a stereotypical CuteClumsyGirl running late for school as she imagines meeting her soulmate as she runs around the corner. On cue, she crashes into Yukimura, and it's LoveAtFirstSight for her. However, her ToastOfTardiness landed jam-side down on her shirt, causing her to curse her luck (after a string of other unfortunate events that morning). This prompts Yukimura to go on a tangent about MurphysLaw before explaining [[RealityEnsues why it's scientifically probable for her toast to land jam-side down]] before walking away. The girl briefly seems entranced... before passing him off as a nerd.

* {{Adorkable}}: Himuro and Yukimura are a pair of university students with zero romantic experience trying to scientifically prove whether or not they're actually in love with one another. Early experiments include measuring heart rate during a WallPinOfLove and finding the ideal angle of chin lift.

** Testing this is the first experiment of episode 2, with Yukimura petting Himuro's head. It sets off Himuro's ExpressiveHair, prompting Yukimura to wonder what principle is allowing it to move independently. When Ibarada insists they need a control they test the gesture with her and Kanade. Kanade finds it awkward, Ibarada [[TheGadfly makes it awkward]].

* AndTheAdventureContinues: [[spoiler:Even after sharing a kiss of the highest theoretical value, and seeing that their Oxycontin values were much higher during this event than under any other circumstance, Himuro and Yukimura continue their romantic research. They have to repeat their experiments for statistical validity, you know, so they need to kiss many more times. Kanade rolls her eyes and leaves them to their science-type flirting.]]

* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Despite their usual dynamic of Ibarada teasing and embarrassing Kosuke and Kosuke being angry about it, the moment Kosuke sees someone harassing Ibarada, he charges across the beach and punches the guy in the face. [[spoiler:Only for it to turn out that he wasn't actually harassing her]]. And while Ibarada does tease him about it, she also thanks him for keeping his promise to always protect her. And despite them often ending in him wetting himself, Ibarada has an extremely good memory when it comes to all the times she and Kosuke were close as kids...

** The entire main cast, despite working in a field in which lab coats aren't really needed. The only time their presence is questioned is when Himuro and Yukimura wear theirs on their experimental date.

* SempaiKohai: Kanade and Kosuke are the youngest student at the lab, the Kohai. This is notable by how they are referred to on a FirstNameBasis, while everyone else is LastNameBasis with one another.

** Kosuke and Ibarada get some teasing as well. Kosuke wanted to marry Ibarada as a child and it's noted by Kanade that Aika, the visual novel character Kosuke is obsessed with, looks a lot like Ibarada. When Kosuke suggested he didn't belong in Ikeda labs, Ibarada was noticeably angry at him and then was very happy when he reveals he intends on staying as long as possible. She also likes reminiscing about when they were kids because, in her own words, she can't possibly forget something that she has so much emotion invested into.

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Arika sabotages Himuro's attempt to apologize to Yukimura in order to prolong the tension between them and orchestrate a dramatic resolution. After Yukimura calls her out on it, she reveals she had no malicious intent, and simply swapped his spectacle case for an identical damaged one. She then nudges Yukimura in the right direction to help settle things with Himuro.]]

** Himuro's and Yukimura's first experiment with love has Yukimura doing this with Himuro after Kanade suggests the idea. They do it while recording Himuro's heart rate during the process. They do it exactly 100 times to see if the result is consistent, but see the heart rate increase diminish until there's no effect at all. Kanade immediately realizes it's because Himuro got used to it. Himuro goes on to recognize that the movement of a wall slam is strikingly similar to a sumo slap.

* HotScientist: It's a romcom starring scientists, so naturally almost every character is attractive in a lapcoat.

* SeriousBusiness: '''Scientific evidence'''; if you're going to claim something as fact then you need to have evidence to back up your statement. It goes to the point that the two romantic leads thoroughly analyze every single aspect of romance they can just to scientifically prove that they are, in fact, in love with each other.

* WallPinOfLove: Himuro's and Yukimura's first experiment with love has Yukimura doing this with Himuro after Kanade suggests the idea.

* AuthorAvatar: Proof 19 and episode 9 introduced Arika Yamamoto, an alumnus of the cast' science college and a mangaka. The mangaka is Alfred Yamamoto who also graduated from a science college and became a mangaka. The manga makes it even more obvious since Arika is shown with the avatar Alfred uses in the extras.

* BeachEpisode: Episode 9 to 12 are set at a beach resort at Okinawa as the cast goes there for a training camp and to present their research at a seminar. Kanade and Kousuke have the wind quickly taken out of their sails at the end of episode 9 when they learn that they have to present to several renowned professors.
* BigDamnKiss: Episode 6 is focused on the cast trying to orchestrate this trope, starting with deciding on the factors that comprise the optimal atmosphere for it to take place and deriving a formula to calculate it. Their attempts end in failure by the end of the episode due to a MoodKiller, but their ideal parameters make a big comeback [[spoiler: at episode 12 for the trope to play out in full]].

* {{Edutainment}}: Rikekuma the science bear will occasionally cut into scenes to provide a proper explanation of terms used or ideas presented in the series, such as defining a "null-hypothesis", a hypothesis specifically designed to be disproven to help prove the original hypothesis.

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Yukimura and Himuro actually met each other when they were kids when Yukimura inspired Himuro to truly get into science. Even when she recounts the encounter, neither she or him realize it was them, to Kanade's frustration, who figures it upon hearing the story.
* FracturedFairyTale: The second half of Episode 7 focuses on Himuro retelling fairy tales updated to the modern day, generally making one of the characters a "science nerd", under the guise of the fairy tales are used as a vector to study romantic concepts.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Episode 12 reveals that Arika [[spoiler: intentionally damaged Himuro's gift to Yukimura for the drama of it]]. As a result, Ibarada intentionally ordered extensive room service that Arika has to pay for as punishment.
* MeasuringTheMarigolds: Yukimura and Himuro are obsessed with quantifying everything they can, most importantly the things that make up romantic love.
* MeetCute: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]] in the ColdOpen of Episode 5, which has a stereotypical CuteClumsyGirl running late for school as she imagines meeting her soulmate as she runs around the corner. On cue, she crashes into Yukimura, and it's LoveAtFirstSight for her. However, her toast landed jam-side down on her shirt, causing her to curse her luck (after a string of other unfortunate events that morning).

* InVinoVeritas: Proof 17 and episode 7 showed the Ikeda lab having a drinking party with Yukimura and Ibarada the only one keeping their wits. Himuro becomes extremely clingy, Kosuke somehow mentally returned to childhood, Kanade revealed her jealousy that Himuro and Yukimura have each other when she doesn't have anyone and Professor Ikeda fell asleep.

** {{Discussed|Trope}} later on when Yukimura lends his labcoat to a nervous Kanade who is getting the jitters before giving a presentation. He advises her to think of it as an "armor", citing the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect Halo Effect]] as the reason why her audience will perceive her as smarter just by wearing it. The actual reason is conditioning, though. Since all members of the Ikeda Lab wear coats when doing research, wearing one during her presentation helps Kanade to relax by association.
