!!''Shounen Note'' contains examples of:

* ButNotTooForeign: The Russian Vladimir has a Japanese grandmother, explaining his ability to speak Japanese.
* CastOfSnowflakes: There are many characters but they're all quite distinguishable from each other. They have a variety of body types, hairstyles, and facial features.
* ChildProdigy: Both Vladimir and Yutaka are boy sopranos who are considered above average. In fact, Vladimir is a celebrity.
* ImprobablyFemaleCast: Downplayed. There are several male characters; however, in-series it's noted that there are few boys in the choir.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Yutaka has bright blue eyes befitting his sweet and gentle nature.
* InnocentSoprano: A non-musical RareMaleExample — it's pointed out that Yutaka's ability to sing soprano is exceedingly rare for boys. Fittingly he has a bright, sweet, innocent, and caring personality.
* LanguageFluencyDenial: Vladimir, a Russian, learned Japanese from his Japanese grandmother (and presumably also speaks it with one of his parents) but usually pretends not to know it.
* MentorInQueerness: Minoru is initially introduced as Yutaka's big brother, but one day Mito runs into them wearing a skirt. Upon being questioned about it, Minoru displays a casual, almost fluid relationship to gender. Mito, likewise, is initially introduced as a girl but is uncomfortable with "feminine" things and longs for a deeper voice, hinting him to possibly be a closeted transgender boy. Mito forms a sort of IntergenerationalFriendship with Minoru and later is inspired by them to try dressing in a way more comfortable to him.
* PhenotypeStereotype: Vladimir is Russian and has blond hair and blue eyes... even though he is also 1/4 Japanese.
* SailorFuku: The school uses sailor fuku and gakuran for their school uniforms.
* TsurimeEyes: The aloof Midori is one of the few characters with tsurime eyes.
* TenderTears: Yutaka is very sensitive and cries easily.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Tomo is a preteen who looks like a high schooler. He's very tall.
