* {{Bokukko}}: She uses the masculine pronoun ''boku'' due to being raised as a boy, but makes a conscious decision to keep doing so even when presenting as female.

* {{Bokukko}}: Inverted. Despite identifying as male, he still uses "[[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns watashi]]". However, he thinks it suits him and doesn't change, similar to how he thinks Nitori's usage of "boku" suits her.

** JerkassHasAPoint: More often than not.

* NoPeriodsPeriod: {{Averted}}.

* OfficialCouple: With [[spoiler:Fumiya]].

* AmbiguousDisorder: She's emotionally unstable and awkward beyond the normal teenage level. She also has a tendency to overreact about little things.

* {{Jerkass}}: Skirting a JerkassWoobie line, but she certainly doesn't hesitate to throw tantrums all around her.

* FashionModel: She's a popular teenage model.

* FashionModel: She briefly was a model in elementary but quit for unspecified reasons.

* FashionModel: She's a popular model. She meets Mako and Nitori through the modeling agency, though she originally doesn't get along with them.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Their eyes are black (stylized brown) in the manga but golden in the anime.
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Most of the manga presents Takatsuki as a counterpart to trans girl Nitori and depicts them as a transgender boy. In high school, the line starts to blur and [[spoiler:ultimately they come to the conclusion they would rather live as a girl, though they're still depicted as confused over their gender. Considering the situations surrounding the revelation and the bittersweet way it's presented, fans are stumped. WordOfGod is that it's up to the reader on whether they see them as trans or not.]]
* AttractiveBentGender: Similarly to Nitori, though more complicated (see AmbiguousGenderIdentity). However it's safe to say that whatever Takatsuki identifies as, they are still going to look damn good when dressed as opposite gender.
* BerserkButton: Bullying Nitori. Also, their period and, to a lesser extent, other physical or social aspects of femininity coming from his being assigned female at birth. Teasing them about it made some boys in their elementary school seriously beaten. They've generally only tough in situations they feel pressured in.
* {{Bokukko}}: Inverted. Despite identifying as male, they still use "[[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns watashi]]". However, they think it suits them and doesn't change, similar to how they think Nitori's usage of "boku" suits her.

* FirstPeriodPanic: They get their first period early on and hate it from the start. It's their BerserkButton.
* GirlinessUpgrade: [[spoiler:Takatsuki was treated as a transgender boy for most of the run and showed general dysphoria and a disdain for feminine things. Part way during high school, Takatsuki became a model but started androgynous. Eventually Takatsuki grows their hair out, begins wearing girl's clothes, and decides not to transition. In the end they lean more towards a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak than {{Bifauxnen}} {{tomboy}}.]]
* HeightAngst: They're tall for a girl but they wish they were taller.
* KickTheDog: Telling Saori that her beloved Nitori-kun now dates Anna, and thus completely crushing the girl? Not cool, Takatsuki. They regret it almost immediately, though
* OneOfTheGirls: Due to being raised a girl, Takatsuki spends most of their time around female characters.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Seems to be this with Nitori. [[spoiler:Subverted in the end. They've grown somewhat distant from Nitori and she has an unrequited crush on Takatsuki. Though their final appearance in the manga together shows that their friendship was very important to both of them]].
* RealMenWearPink: If the colored art is to be believed Takatsuki has a thing for pastel colors. Their hoodies are apparently ''pink''. Could be their parents buying the clothes though.

* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: No, Nitori really isn't their girlfriend. And Chiba isn't their girlfriend either.
* TeacherStudentRomance: They seem a bit confused about whether it was a crush or not. They felt pressured by everyone else to have a crush on somebody, but other people thought they fell for a teacher in middle school.
* TransTribulations: Specifically a transgender man. [[spoiler:Eventually subverted. Maybe, WordofGod says it's up to readers to decide for themselves if Takatsuki is still trans or not.]]

** By their own admission cheesecake is this.

* {{Meganekko}}: She wears glasses.

* {{Meganekko}}: As a child she wore glasses but as an adult she doesn't.

* {{Meganekko}}: Maiko wears glasses.
