** Chiyo-Chan may qualify. She's rich, [[EinsteinSue super-intelligent]], [[PuritySue completely innocent]], and only fails at anything when doing so will make her cuter, or more [[SympatheticSue sympathetic.]] Of course, Chiyo-Chan happens to be this troper's least favorite character, so it's possible that that's all this is.

* {{Moe}}: The series itself is something you can curl up with, but Chiyo-chan is Moe to the ''n''th degree, and Osaka and Kaorin are also incredibly cute. Your mileage may ''not'' vary.

* WhatAnIdiot: What was she thinking when she [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yefMRQFjbU bought bear stew for Sakaki?]] To be fair, it doesn't seem as though Yomi knows too much about what Sakaki is like deep down at that point.

* FridgeHorror: in Episode 5, we are introduced to Yukari's (ahem) driving behavior in a move called TakeOurWordForIt. Around the end of the episode, summer vacation has ended and the girls are looking through the photo's from their summer vacation at Chiyo's summer home. As Tomo hands the photographs to Sakaki, the girls mention that they notice something behind her on the photograph what resembles a person's head. A few sound effects of [[OffscreenCrash a speeding car and ambulances]] during reaction shots should clue you in. Apparently, Osaka even knew the guy!

* MarySue: [[YourMileageMayVary Could be a deliberate]] {{subversion}} with Sakaki: she's tall, beautiful and athletic, intelligent and educated, is kind and polite and has a wonderful singing voice and may or may not be rich. Except she doesn't want any of this, she just wants to be small and cute and tend to cats, but all cats everywhere [[spoiler: well, mostly anyway]] seem to instinctively attack her viciously. And the wounds she gets from those attacks, combined with her calm demeanor and her physical size make her seem to other students more like a scary delinquent than anything.

* IronWoobie: No matter how hard the world tramples on her, Sakaki never gives up trying to be a good person.

** For some reason, Yomi has become the mascot for various image boards' "war on [[AcceptableTargets furries]]". It has to be from the episode with Tomo in the mascot outfit.
** A text drawing of Osaka was used in a [[http://c64.org/~jgb/osakaphone.swf short viral flash video]], set to a sped-up version of Raffi's "Bananaphone". Later became the mascot for AMVHell, after being used in a [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceV9K0zxd_s parody of the infamous Ellen Feiss Apple commercial]].

* TearJerker: The end of the series. Sakaki gets plenty of scenes by herself that qualify.

to:

* NeverLiveItDown: Osaka almost stabbing Yukari; Yukari almost didn't "live it down" either.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: For some reason, Sakaki has a majority of the screentime and focus. She probably deserves it, though.
* TastesLikeDiabetes: "Aaa shit, you're so cute!" Yomi says, with an exasperated expression.
* TearJerker: The end of the series. Sakaki gets plenty of scenes by herself that qualify.qualify.
* ValuesDissonance: Sakaki's lack of self-esteem, especially when comparing herself to Chiyo, seems downright ludicrous to western viewers who don't understand the difference between Japanese standards of beauty and their own.
* WhatAnIdiot: What was she thinking when she [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yefMRQFjbU bought bear stew for Sakaki?]] To be fair, it doesn't seem as though Yomi knows too much about what Sakaki is like deep down at that point.
* TheWoobie: You may feel sorry for Chiyo after all the abuse she cops from the two resident {{jerkass}}es.
**Animals seem to have it in for Sakaki despite the fact that she adores them; her woobieness is rarely so highlighted as the time she lets Kamineko sink its fangs into her hand...and Sakaki doesn't pull her hand away so that she can finally pet him with the other one.
*** Also noteworthy is the attempts Sakaki's friends make to please her. They try to be friendly and warm to her, but end up hurting her feelings. Kagura is particularly guilty of this when the two first meet.
**It's hard not to feel for Osaka's inability to stay focused, let alone succeed sometimes.
**Kimura's after Kaorin, much to her despair. You can't NOT feel bad for her, even though it's funny.
* {{Woolseyism}}: Hey y'all, I'm Osaka...

** For Sakaki fans, anything dealing with Mayaa.
** Graduation ceremony at the final episode, full stop. You might as well feel like crying along with Chiyo.
** Chiyo and Kagura in episode 19.
