4!!'''This comic provides examples of:'''
5
6%% * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Gin, Bec and Monica.
7* BuffySpeak: "It's cakes! Shaped like penises! Man penises!"
8* CitizenshipMarriage: Referenced [[spoiler:when Gin is about to be deported and asks if it would help. The Immigration worker bursts out laughing before realising Gin was serious]].
9%%* CloudCuckooLander: Several cast members get their turn at this role.
10* CunningLikeAFox: Kitsunefoxy is a [[BeastMan fox-girl]] and an enthusiastic liar.
11%% * DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Again, the "man penises".
12%%* EloquentInMyNativeTongue: Done with both the Anglophones and Japanese natives.
13%% * EroticEating: [[http://gai-gin.com/comic_0166.shtml Gin]].
14%%* FieryRedhead: Miki.
15%%* FishOutOfWater
16%%* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Kitsunefoxy.
17%% * TheGlomp: Gin does this to Pyon once or twice.
18* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Referenced. Pyon is actually fairly intelligent, but definitely has a dash of CloudCuckoolander:
19-->"Yaay. I eat boogers. I am boogers man."
20%% * {{Inherently Funny Word|s}}: "Seieki! Seieki! Seieki!"
21* ItTastesLikeFeet: On Japanese seafood: "Oh god it smells like a sperm whale just vomited! It ... it's like a shark's vagina!"
22%%* NightmareFetishist: Miki.
23%%* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer
24%% * OverlyLongTongue: Gin, as seen when she eats ice-cream.
25%% * PersonaNonGrata: [[spoiler:Gin had some problems with her visa, both in real life and in the comic.]]
26* StockYuck: Gin hates seafood, which, since she's in ''Japan'', causes problems.
27* TrademarkFavoriteFood: "I see a gyouza and I don't even remember why I was upset a moment ago!"
28%%* UnmovingPlaid
29* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Kitsunefoxy has a fox tail and ears, which appear to be natural, as they move depending on her emotions. Miki is a "cute little rotting zombie" who has bright green skin, fangs, and hovers in midair. People are frightened when Miki glomps them, but otherwise don't comment, and nobody mentions Foxy's ears at all.
30* YaoiFangirl: Gin, to the point that she wishes Foxy wasn't lying when she (Foxy) tells her that Pyon is cheating on her with his male friend Mitchy.
31* YouNoTakeCandle: Gin's Japanese starts out very clumsy and improves significantly over time. Pyon has similar problems when trying to introduce himself in English.
