21	----
22	!Tropes common in her works include:
23
24	* ArtEvolution: You can really tell Ema Toyama's character designs are much different when you compare her first work ''Manga/PixiePop'' to her most recent work ''Manga/MissionsOfLove''.
25	* BettyAndVeronica: Almost all the LoveTriangle featured in Toyama's work is this.
26	** ''Pixie Pop'':
27	*** Both the plain, girl-next-door Mayu and the rich and glamorous Konoha are in love with Amamiya.
28	*** Later, Mayu herself gets herself in between the friendly, easy-going Yuuki and the aloof, out-of-reach Amamiya.
29	** ''I'm Here'': Hinata (the warm and gentle Betty) and Teru (the tough-talking and sarcastic Veronica) fought over Hikage.
30	** Akira and Shigure for Yukina; Mami and Yukina for Shigure in ''Missions of Love''.
31	** The {{meganekko}} and Wakana for Kagano in ''Plain Love''.
32	** Hayate and Hinokagu for Mashiro in ''Kamikami Kaeshi''.
33	* CharacterDevelopment: Many of his heroines need to mature into stronger people, whether it concerns [[IJustWantToHaveFriends friends]] (''Koko ni Iru yo!''), [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove love]] (''Pixie Pop''; ''Missions of Love''), or [[IJustWantToBeFree freedom]] (''Kamikami Kaeshi'').
34	* ClingyJealousGirl
35	** Konoha from ''Pixie Pop''.
36	** [[spoiler:Mami]] from ''Missions of Love!''
37	* DoggedNiceGuy
38	* {{Expy}}: Many characters of Ema Toyama's work resemble each other.
39	** Shigure from ''Missions of Love'' resembles Hinata from ''Koko ni Iru yo!'' and Kanna from ''Manga Dogs'', the main difference being their hair color (which is barely noticeable in black and white manga). Hinata at least has a different personality, but Kanna and Shigure have similar temperaments and interests (one writes manga, the other cell phone novels).
40	** Likewise, Mami resembles Hiyori from a one-shot in the above example and Momo from ''Hyakuen!''.
41	** Kyouka from ''Hyakuen!'' has a resemblance to Hikage from ''Koko ni Iru yo!'' as well.
42	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:The apparent "losing" part of the triangle tends to be blonde (and usually boys) -- Teru and (possibly) Akira.]]
43	* {{Moe}}: [[invoked]] Most of her heroines are very cute, doe-eyed (often shy) girls . To the point where she has a small following among [[PeripheryDemographic male otaku]].
44	* PluckyGirl
45	* SchoolIdol: Tends to be the love interest(s).
46	* ShrinkingViolet: Hikage (''Koko ni Iru yo!''), Yukina without her glasses (''Missions of Love''), and Kanna (''Manga Dogs'').
47	* SmittenTeenageGirl:
48	** Several of her manga have heroines desiring a respective LoveInterest.
49	** Gender-flipped with Kazuma from ''Hyakuen!'', who is absolutely smitten with his arranged fiancée Madoka enough to transfer to Madoka's class to find her, spends a month looking for her, and spends three hours looking at the mirrors merely because he get to see her. [[{{Funny/Hyakuen}} He even moves into the apartment next to hers and combines their balconies in case of an emergency.]] Yes, his StalkerWithACrush tendancies are {{lampshaded}}.
50	* UnluckyChildhoodFriend
51	* WishFulfillment: There's usually something a leading character in an Ema Toyama manga wants, and the plot revolves around that character trying to succeed in his or her (usually ''[[PluckyGirl her]]'') dreams.
