* NakedFirstImpression: Hayato's first introduction to the girls all involves seeing them in some state of undress.
* NoNameGiven: Some pf the twonspeople, like the sweet shop lady or the fishmonger, are unnamed.

* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: In chapter 50, Fuwa opens a rival cafe named ''Family'', and it's even staffed by five idols who are exaggerations of the main cast. But after its opening hype dies down, this knockoff cafe serves generally poor-quality food and is trying to ride off its staff's fans.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: A lot of jokes concern Hayato being harassed by or lusted after the girls without his consent. One running gag, for example, concerns the girls constantly commenting on his larger-than-average penis, with some of the girls outright trying to get him naked or observe him while sleeping again to mess around with it. the end of their trip to Miyakojima even has them take off his pants--and when he awakens with horror wondering what happened the previous night, his empty-eyed stare on the way home is entirely played for comedy.

* BotheringByTheBook: Ririka asks Hayato to laugh whenever something funny happens, while he is recording video for Ririka's YouTube livestream. During a scene where Ririka is giving her stream viewers some {{Fanservice}} while remarking that she might have gained some weight, Hayato suddenly laughs out loud, prompting an unhappy Ririka to cut the scene.

Hayato Kasukabe is an orphan who returned to his hometown after hearing of the death of his grandmother, who had raised him until they had a falling-out. Intending to close down his grandmother's café, Cafe Terrace Familia, before he proceeds to study at [[UsefulNotes/TokyoUniversity Tokyo University]], he encounters five girls who lived and worked at his grandma's café, and who claim to be "family". Thus begins Hayato's struggle with keeping the café afloat while living with five cute girls under one roof.

** A RunningGag is Hayato always walking in on the ten girls changing out of their clothes, often due to Ami's coffee-related shenanigans.

** Mao often acts like this.

* BalancedHarem: Each of the five girls gets her own arc.

* MistakenForBadass: Rei is under the impression that the café is also a dojo.

* NoNameGiven: The sweet shop lady is unnamed.

* ShipperOnDeck: Ririka is this for Riho and Hayato, while Hekiru supports Akane and Hayato.

** The swimsuit she's wearing to the bathhouse doesn't leave much for the imagination either.

* FiveManBand: The five main girls [[spoiler:and the girls from the rival restaurant later on]].

* GenreSavvy: [[MetaGuy Hekiru]] invokes tropes while making observations about Hayato's relationship with the girls.

* GroinAttack: Done twice by Ami to Hayato, but not with malicious intent

* WhoopeeCushion: Ami has used this when pranking [[Gasshole Ouka]].

* AmusingInjuries: One of [[Gasshole Ouka]]'s farts was powerful enough to blow Hayato away into the sea, breaking his arm in the process.

** The swimsuit she's wearing to the outdoor baths doesn't leave much for the imagination either.

* YamatoNadeshiko: Shiragiku acts like one, at least until she gets drunk.

* {{Gasshole}}: The series does not quite clarify whether Ouka's spectacular farts are indeed due to her flatulence (and penchant for sweet potatoes), or Ami's pranks.

* IdenticalTwinIDTag: Unlike the girls, Hayato can easily tell Ouka and Kikka apart. He explains that Kikka is left-handed, plus she was rude to the girls which Ouka would never do.

* BarelyThereSwimwear: At the beach, the sweet shop lady wears a one-piece swimsuit with a NavelDeepNeckline, exposed back, and thong. Though she flaunts her body, she gets mad if people ogle her for too long.

* CookingDuel: Shiragiku and Riho wanted Hayato to judge which of their sandwiches was better. [[spoiler: Hayato decides to eat his own crappy sandwich instead, not wanting to upset one if he chose the other's sandwich.]]

* VerbalBackspace: A running gag with Riho involves her hearing something behind closed doors, her rushing in to retort, and then immediately backpedaling once she sees that the situation was not what she thought it would be.

* WhoopeeCushion: Ami has used this when pranking Ouka.

** First happens when Hayato initially meets Ouka and the other girls in his grandmother's house.

* SmugSnake: Fuwa, the old man who Hayato's grandmother had borrowed money from.

* TheTease: Mao likes flaunting her sexuality; she especially likes teasing the prudish Ouka.

* TheBigDamnKiss

* AllWomenAreLustful: Mao often acts like this.

* BeachEpisode: The characters live near Miura Beach, so there are chapters showing them taking a break at the beach, or working on their stall during the summer.

* DisappearedDad: Riho lost contact with her dad after her parents' divorce. Justified, since her mother took out a restraining order against her father.

* TakeAThirdOption: Instead of choosing between Shiragiku's and Riho's sandwiches, Hayato instead chose to eat his own crappy sandwich, stating that if he'd chosen one, he'd certainly upset the other.

* Gasshole: The series does not quite clarify whether Ouka's spectacular farts are indeed due to her flatulence (and penchant for sweet potatoes), or Ami's pranks.

* MinimalistCast: There are only six real main characters at the start of the series—just Hayato and the girls, with Hayato's grandma Sachiko often featuring in flashbacks. Later on, other business owners from the shopping district and the girls from the Family café act as supporting cast, with the latter making more frequent appearances.

* ShoutOut: Ami provides the majority of references in this manga:
** She is an avid fan of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'', and often gets in bouts with Hayato or practices moves from the game.
** ''Manga/{{Chihayafuru}}'' gets mentioned during a game of karuta.
** One time she excitedly tells the girls about an anime she's interested in, which includes a scene of a [[Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba demon girl emerging out of a wooden box]].
** One of her school notebooks has a picture of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan's'' Colossal Titan in it.

* ACupAngst: Although Riho and Akane are nowhere near flat, they do not appreciate being reminded that there are other girls bustier than them (like Shiragiku).

** [[spoiler: Since Shiragiku got to kiss Hayato, the other girls are given the right to kiss him to keep things fair. Akane is the first to exercise this right, kissing Hayato in front of everyone.]]

* ForgottenFirstMeeting: Shiragiku and Hayato once met when they were very young, but Hayato had already forgotten about it.

* GenreSavvy: Hekiru invokes tropes while making observations about Hayato's relationship with the girls.

* PosthumousCharacter: Hayato's grandmother, Sachiko, had just died at the start of the series. Bits of information about her are gradually revealed through the course of the series.

** ''Manga/Chihayafuru'' gets mentioned during a game of karuta.
