Tropes associated with Yume:
- Anime Hair: How did she get such huge curls below her hair?
- Anxiety Dreams: In episode 10 after trying to get a photo of Haruhito, she eventually gets one, but not of him alone. After that she started getting nightmares about him and Yuri being together, simply because Yuni wanted to screw around with her.
- Betty and Veronica: She's the Archie while Asahi is the Betty and Haruhito, and later Ackey, is the Veronica.
- Childhood Friend: With Asahi, who's also her neighbor.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: "Jealous" might be a strong word, but she gets upset at the end of episode 15 when Asahi told Morimura that he and Yume are just childhood friends, and again in episode 19 when Morimura confessed her love to Asahi, but she doesn't know why.
- Depending on the Writer: Thanks to its lack of proper focus, Yume’s relationship with Asahi suffers from this. In a handful of episodesnote , it shows that she has romantic feelings for him, but for most of the show, she sees him only as a friend.

- Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl: The energetic girl to Asahi’s savvy guy.
- Ship Tease: There’s a few episodes where it shows that Yume has a crush on Asahi as well, even though none of them are aware of the other’s feelings.
- In episode 26, when Yume tells Mew about how cute Haruhito and Yuri are together, the latter says just like her (Yume) and Asahi, which leads the former to blush so hard instantly and denies what Mew said and then changes the subject.
- Stock Shoujo Heroine: Sweet? Clumsy? Full of energy? Hopeless romantic? (at least in season 1) She’s got it all!
- Unresolved Sexual Tension: With Asahi at the end of the series.
