13	----
14	!!''One Week Friends'' contains the following examples:
15
16	* AloofDarkHairedGirl: Kaori originally, though her aloofness was just an act to avoid making friends and potentially hurting them every week.
17	* ArcWords: "Please be friends with me". It's what Hase says to Kaori every week.
18	* BookDumb: Hase, especially at mathematics. Saki too.
19	* BrokenBird: Kaori's condition started at elementary school and lasted for ten years, which has led to her developing a facade to protect herself from the pain of forgetting her friends.
20	%%* BromanticFoil: Shougo to Hase.
21	* BrutalHonesty: Shougo sees no need to sugercoat his words.
22	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Saki has an odd, almost childlike way of looking at the world.
23	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Shougo.
24	* TheDitz: Saki's a bit of an airhead.
25	* EasyAmnesia:
26	** Kaori loses every memory of her friends each Monday.
27	** Notably, Kaori doesn't lose memory of those she ''does not'' consider to be her friends, which fortunately includes her family.
28	* FriendlessBackground: Kaori's amnesia, which she got in elementary school, causes this.
29	%%* GoodWithNumbers: Kaori.
30	* GrewASpine: The first [[AnAesop aesop]] Shougo taught to Kaori upon their first meeting at the rooftop.
31	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Because she is focusing on forming platonic relationships, Kaori tends to overlook romantic implications her actions can have, causing Hase much frustration.
32	%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Shougo.
33	* MiddleChildSyndrome: Shougo's dislike against women in general is caused by his position as the only son in his family. His elder sister always bosses him around while his younger sibling cries a lot.
34	* MoodWhiplash: [[spoiler:The transfer student's appearance, relation and response to Kaori's past in chapter 14.]]
35	%%* NiceGuy: Hase.
36	* OddFriendship: Yuki and Shougo. They're nothing alike, but the fact that they're on a FirstNameBasis with each other hints that they're actually quite close.
37	* ShipperOnDeck: Both Fujimiya's mom and Saki seem to ship Hase and Fujimiya.
38	* SickeninglySweet: In-universe example. In episode 3, Shougo claims that Hase and Kaori's friendship is sickeningly sweet to the point where looking at them kills his appetite.
39	%%* SupremeChef: Kaori.
40	* ThePowerOfFriendship: Hase's constant efforts to create good memories with Kaori, despite it being supposedly reset at the end of each week, is not entirely fruitless. Kaori begins to retain bits and pieces of her memories even after the reset. Despite that, [[DarkAndTroubledPast certain]] [[PoorCommunicationKills triggers]] can undo all the effort put in by Hase.
41	* TheStoic:
42	** Kaori, although her stoicness is mostly a facade.
43	** Also, Hase's friend, Shougo.
44	%%* TwelveEpisodeAnime
45	* WhamLine:
46	** Episode 9 has one.
47	--->'''Hajime:'' ''[to Kaori]'' [[spoiler:You broke our promise. You traitor.]]
