This series contains examples of:
Accidental Pervert: Ayaka starts stripping Alice since she hasn't taken a bath in two days, not noticing Narumi was there.
Anticlimax Boss: Hakamizaka, a Smug Snake who taunted Alice & declared she would never find him; when she does, she finds him dying of an overdose of his own product.
Batman Gambit: Alice in the baseball game. To elaborate, her small frame drastically reduced the size of the strike zone, which caused the pitcher to overcompensate on the third strike, resulting in a uncaught third strike. The subsequent fielding errors and delayed reaction from the catcher and pitcher allowed her to push two of her team's players onto second and third.
I Shall Taunt You: She also mocks them on their mistake while casually walking to first base.
Brilliant, but Lazy: Hitoshi is supposedly smart enough to be in university, but plans to drop out and become a NEET. The only reason he stays is because their library has all the books on military and political history he needs.
Expy: Alice is basically a black-haired modern day Victorique.
Five-Man Band: Narumi, Alice, Tetsu, Hitoshi, and Hiro.
If Narumi's The Hero, then it's something of a toss-up whether Alice or Hitoshi is The Lancer or The Smart Guy (if only because Hitoshi isn't central enough to be a proper Lancer to Narumi, yet Alice fits The Smart Guy too perfectly), while Tetsu is definitely The Big Guy and Hiro is probably The Chick despite being male (though when she's around, he trades that role off with Ayaka). Or, if Alice is The Hero, then Narumi becomes The Lancer and Hitoshi assumes The Smart Guy position while the others remain the same.
It doesn't end well. She finds out and tries to solve matters on her own... and things get worse from there.
The Magnificent: Narumi has just been collecting nicknames lately.
Vice-Admiral by Hitoshi
Gardening boy by Souchirou
God hand by Souchirou's/his computer illiterate henchmen
Mr. Assistant by Meo.
Mistaken Age: People occasionally mistake Hitoshi for an elementary schooler. He's in university.
Modesty Towel: Narumi seems to catch girls coming out of the bath constantly, and so has seen this more than a few times.
NEET: Some self-employed, but still NEET nonetheless.
Neighbourhood Friendly Gangsters: Soichirou is taking his group in this direction, pointing out in Page 5 that they can't survive on shady stuff forever.
Though they're not above doing some very family-unfriendly things to people who cross them and the lines they set for their territory (like drug-dealing). Souchirou in particular has more than a little blood on his hands, in the past and from current events.
Surrounded by Idiots: Soichirou's henchmen are incredibly computer illiterate, to the point where Narumi's basic computer skills have earned him the nickname "God Hand".
Alice generally considers herself to be this, just because nobody can keep up with her intuitive leaps and constant data-digging.
