* BettyAndVeronica:
** To Takaaki, the Archie, Shiina is the Betty (sweet, innocent and not a single violent bone in her body) while Hikari is the Veronica (outgoing, confident and a PluckyGirl to the nth degree).
** Also to Hikari, Mao is the Betty (her childhood friend who's endlessly supporting and understanding to her) while Takaaki is the Veronica (a wealthy student who helps make her dream happen by helping her train).
* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: The main characters all attend Aika Academy. Mao, Shiina and Takaaki are third formers, while Hikari is a second former, and all of them are part of the school's sports clubs (with the exception of Mao, who plays in a band).
* FirstGirlWins: [[spoiler: Played straight in the manga where Hikari ends up with her childhood friend Mao and Takaaki ends up with his childhood friend Shiina; averted in the anime where Hikari and Takaaki end up together.]]
* FriendlyRivalry: Even though they're as different as night and day, Hikari and Shiina have no anmosity against one another (even if they're hurt about bith having feelings for Takaaki) and support each other whatever way they can.
*GenderEqualEnsemble: They consist of two boys (Mao, Takaaki) and two girls (Shiina, Hikari).
* LoveDodecahedron: Hikari and Takaaki started as friends, but over the years Hikari began seeing him as more than that. Shiina also has feelings for Takaaki, and this causes a rift in her and Hikari's friendship. Meanwhile Mao has always had eyes for Hikari, but she's oblivious to his feelings.
* MeaningfulAppearance: Hikari has wild, unkempt, red hair, to represent that she's a PassionateSportsGirl and is willing to take on any challenge. Shiina has a PrimAndProperBun to represent her dignified status as Aika Academy's SchoolIdol, but her few unkempt hairs hint that she's not as perfect as she seems.
* PassionateSportsGirl: The anime centers around two: Hikari (a playful {{tomboy}} naturally talented at sports despite her petite build) and Shiina (who's Aika Academy's greatest gymnast and said to be the secondcoming of Hiroko Yamazaki). The girls have a FriendlyRivalry in spite of the fact that they both aim to represent Japan in the Olympics and like the same boy. This trope also applies to many other characters like Maria, Elena, Lisa, Valerie, Michelle, Meiling, Joyce, Nikolina, Tatiana, Sophie, Endira, Irene and Regina.
* RichSuitorPoorSuitor: Shiina is the rich suitor, being a SpoiledSweet girl from a wealthy family, while Hikari is the poor student, and ordinary girl blessed with great athletic skill. [[spoiler: Takaaki marries Shiina in the manga, but the anime changes this to him getting with Hikari]].

*FieryRedhead: She has red hair, is an outgoing {{tomboy}}, and a natural when it comes to rhymathic gymnastics.
* ForeignCultureFetish: Hikari has one for UsefulNotes/{{Bulgaria}}; Diliana Georgieva is from there, and she recommends that Hikari go to the country to learn to be a skilled gymnast, which she eagerly accepts.
