->-'''Fanboy'''

* DrivesLikeCrazy: Kyra again.

* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Kyra is sort of a darker version of this.
* NoNameGiven: Fanboy ''almost'' plays this straight. There is one occasion in each book where his name is said outright, but the rest of the time, the narration goes out of the way to avoid saying it. It's not quite a subversion, because the first reveal is pretty early on. In addition, the name issue can still be confusing because of things regarding the use of "Donnie" versus "Donald" and "Don" that aren't fully spelled out. For that matter, the latter two names weren't even revealed until the second book.
** It's played straight with Fanboy's last name - we are only told that it is not the same as his mother's, which ''is'' revealed.

* PromotedFanboy: Titular Fanboy wants to become one. He has a GraphicNovel he wants to show BrianMichaelBendis, ''Schemata'', and hopefully have Bendis be so astounded by it that he'll call a publisher on the spot. [[spoiler: It doesn't work out.]]

* BlackAndWhiteBeauty: Kyra

* JerkassWoobie: Kyra is an abrasive jerk, but you can sympathize with her.

* [[spoiler: PetTheDog: For Dina, who actually gives Fanboy a kiss later in the book and tells him that girls are stupid for wanting only hot, ripped men.]]

* ImportantHaircut: After she gets out of the hospital, Kyra shaves most of her hair off.

* LongTitle: Just look at it.

* WriteWhoYouKnow: In-universe, Kyra points out that [[spoiler: Donnie unconsciously modeled his character on Dina, a popular girl at school.]]

* JerkassWoobie: Kyra is an abrasive jerk, but you can sympatize with her.

* [[spoiler: PetTheDog: For Dina, who actually gives Fanboy a kiss later in the book and tels him that girls are stupid for wanting only hot, ripped men.]]

* ShoutOut: To AlanMoore.

* {{Goth}}: Guess.

* [[spoiler: SuppressedMammaries]]: As it turns out [[spoiler: Kyra has a large chest and uses clothing to disguise it, due to her belief that AllMenArePerverts. And then she flashes Donnie. And BrianMichaelBendis.]]

"And, oh, the sigh. Who would ever have thought that a simple expulsion of air from the lungs could be so... so magical?"
