** Also implied with her meal when she and Hero-senpai are out on their date. While his consists of a single pancake with a pat of butter and some syrup on it, her own plate has a stack of several pancakes, covered with syrup and topped with strawberries and a hearty swirl of whipped cream.

* TheEveryman: She's probably intended to be this, if not an outright parody. Despite her unique hair color, she's completely average in every other way, down to having Type A blood (the most common blood type in Japan), and has no real hobbies (she considers ''sleeping'' to be a hobby). Yet she has the attention of what is supposed to be an extremely cool and handsome senpai. Just like what any reader of her intended demographic would want.

to:

* AdaptationDyeJob: In-universe. The "original" 80s version of ''Senpai Club'' her hairstyle was a reddish pink color. It's light pink in the 2010s "adaptation".
* BigEater: Anyone who considers eating gyudon as a hobby has to count as one.
* ButtMonkey: Her first day of school consists of her being yelled at by the teacher, kicked out of the Senpai Club for not being a senpai and being thrown out of school for essentially helping Kurokawa to grab their teacher's boobs.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Despite being well aware that Kurokawa's love for Teacher-sensei is anything but pure she still tries to help.



* OddFriendship: With Kurokawa.

to:

* OddFriendship: With Kurokawa. Tsumiki thinks she's a massive pervert (and she's not wrong), but she considers Kurokawa a good friend and actually does try to help Kurokawa in her ill-fated attempts to win Teacher-sensei's heart.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Pink Girl to Hero-Senpai's Blue Boy, right down to their hair color.



* RoseHairedSweetie

to:

* RoseHairedSweetieRedOniBlueOni: With Kurokawa. Despite what you'd expect, she's actually the Blue to Kurokawa's Red. While she's more enthusiastic and upbeat than Kurokawa, Tsumiki is a lot more shy and restrained in her passion for her love interest when compared to Kurokawa.
* RoseHairedSweetie: She's rather sweet and energetic, and she hopes that a cool and handsome senpai will notice her on her first day of school.




to:

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Beef bowl (''gyudon''). She even lists it as one of her hobbies in Episode 3.
* VanillaProtagonist: She's probably intended to be this, if not an outright parody. Despite her unique hair color, she's completely average in every other way, down to having Type A blood (the most common blood type in Japan), and has no real hobbies (she considers ''sleeping'' to be a hobby).

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Teacher-sensei.

to:

* AbhorrentAdmirer: To Teacher-sensei. Kurokawa's rather forward advances are usually met with Teacher-sensei telling her to sit down or go outside.



* FragileFlower: Cries a lot.
* FreudianExcuse: The imagery from her backstory seems to imply that she had a lot of unsavory male teachers when she was in middle school, which would explain her attraction to a female teacher like Teacher-sensei.



* LipstickLesbian
* LovableSexManiac

to:

* LipstickLesbian
LipstickLesbian: As if her crush for Teacher-sensei wasn't obvious enough.
* LovableSexManiacLovableSexManiac: The biggest and thirstiest pervert in the series. Teacher-sensei is clearly disgusted by her and even Tsumiki is visibly creeped out at how bold she is.



* RedOniBlueOni: With Tsumiki. She's actually the Red Oni due to her rather passionate, headstrong and wild advances on Teacher-sensei, compared to Tsumiki's slow-budding romance with Hero-Senpai.



* ThanksForTheMammaries: To Teacher-sensei at the end of Episode 1. It goes as well as you expect.



* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable

to:

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllableAccentUponTheWrongSyllable: With everything.



* {{Genki Girl}}
* {{Funny Foreigner}}

to:

* {{Genki Girl}}
FunnyForeigner: Her terrible accent is the source of some of the funniest lines in the series, making her rather endearing.
* {{Funny Foreigner}}GenkiGirl: The most energetic and friendliest of the cast. She actually goes out of her way to get her group to sit with Tsumiki and Kurokawa.
* GratuitousEnglish: Considering her origins, this is a given.
--->''Ooh! A letter desu!'''
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Considers Kurokawa's love display for Teacher-sensei in Episode 2 to be "beautiful", despite it being nothing but flirting.



* NoIndoorVoice: All of her dialogue is yelled.



* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: Wore socks with the American flag on them in the 80s series.



* CannotSpitItOut: From the blushing he does and the reason for his decision to stand up to Teacher-sensei, it's clear that he has feelings for Nelly Smith.
* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Tries to be one to Nelly.
* SatelliteCharacter: All of his appearances in the show so far revolve around interacting with Nelly.



* TheSilentBob

to:

* TheSilentBob{{Bookworm}}: Always seen with a book.
* NoNameGiven: PlayedWith. From the way Nelly introduces her, it's implied that she does have a name and that Nelly's tenuous grasp of Japanese prevents her from saying it properly. Considering that this is a parody however, it's highly possible that ??? is indeed her real name.
* PerpetualFrowner: Complete with a bored look on her face.
* SatelliteCharacter: All of her appearances in the show so far revolve around interacting with Nelly.
* TheSilentBob: Hasn't said a single word since being introduced.



* {{Deuteragonist}}: While Tsumiki is the main character, he's equally as important to the story. You could even argue that he's really the protagonist as much of the plot focuses on him struggling to deal with his desire to return Tsumiki's feelings despite being in a club based around actively avoiding romance and rejecting the feelings of the girls that fall in love with them.
* FriendVersusLover: He clearly likes Tsumiki, but he is also very loyal to his friends in the Senpai Club, especially to Senpai-kun. [[spoiler: He chooses Tsumiki by the end of Episode 3.]]



* HiddenDepths: Beneath the popular, confident and charming aura is really a nervous high schooler who's never really experienced first love.



* LoveAtFirstSight: He's clearly smitten by Tsumiki from the moment she bumps into him in Episode 1. It's fleshed out later in the episode when he happens to be the only one to watch Tsumiki set up an opportunity for Kurowkawa to confess to Teacher-sensei.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The Blue Boy to Tsumiki's Pink Girl, right down to their hair color.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A dark blue.



* FragileFlower: A male example. He's rather emotional, and when it looks like Hero-Senpai was blowing off the club he becomes seriously distraught.



* {{Keet}}

to:

* {{Keet}}{{Keet}}: He's the most excitable out of all of the senpais.
* ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: Unlike the other senpais in the club, he doesn't reject girls out of obligation (Hero-Senpai), hatred (Senpai-kun) or both (Gang Leader-Senpai): he seems to have a genuine fear of girls.



* WouldHitAGirl: When he was younger at least, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he was willing to beat up the girl who had broken Senpai-kun's heart.]]

to:

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rude and violent, but fiercely protective of his friends and is loyal to the Senpai Club.
* WouldHitAGirl: When he was younger at least, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he was willing to beat up the girl who had broken Senpai-kun's heart.]]]] He Then again, in present day he wasn't very friendly to Tsumiki, stepping on her head in his introduction.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Blackmail}}: More or less the reason that she's forced to go on a date with Kurokawa in the Christmas Special.
* CelibateHero: Doesn't seem too interested in romance with people in general, let alone students.
* OnlySaneMan: A no-nonsense character in a world full of fools.


Added DiffLines:

* SternTeacher: Definitely one of these. In her defense, Tsumiki’s repeated tardiness and Kurokawa’s advances are undoubtedly things that a teacher should punish a student for.
