* AcademicAthlete: Komichi is shown to be very flexible and athletic in the first chapter, and managed to score pretty high on the Entrance Exams (Top 5) through her own efforts (where many of her peers had to attend cram schools in preparation).

* {{Fanservice}}: There are a plethora of scenes and scenarios that deliberately focus on the girls' legs and feet. There's also plenty of focus on the abs and chests some girls have, with the emphasis HandWaved as a way of showing the girls are reaching the start of maturity and beginning to develop breasts. Though these moments may appear lewd, most are handled in a modest manner.

There's also plenty of focus on the abs and chests some girls have, with the emphasis HandWaved as a way of showing the girls are reaching the start of maturity and beginning to develop breasts. Though these moments may appear lewd, most are handled in a modest modest, naturalistic manner.



* SmellyFeetGag: PlayedForDrama with Erika, who gets embarrassed when Komichi discovers her sniffing her nail clipper after a pedicure and not liking what she smells (not necessarily rare for someone entering puberty). Komichi turns it back to a gag by sniffing directly and nonchalantly one of her own feet to check up if she smells too, which shocks Erika out of her embarrassment and makes her laugh. Erika being insecure with her odor seems to be a case of EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, however, as later into the series she is often seen barefoot with other people without any care or complaint.



* TamerAndChaster: Zigzagged; while the anime does tone down some of the more blatant MaleGaze from the manga (such as shots of Komichi's backside), at the same time it also puts more focus on the characters' feet than the manga does.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Downplayed with Komichi; while she wears shoes when she has to, she'll still take her shoes and socks off at the first opportunity, including during a track race in which she openly admits to run better barefoot (and she's right, as she ends up outracing all the rest of the class). The manga reveals she was accustomed to race that way in her previous, one-student class.

Komichi Akebi is a girl who lives out in the country and is about to start at the same middle school her mother went to. She has two dreams: to make lots of friends at her new school (having been the only member of her elementary school class), and to wear a [[SailorFuku sailor uniform]], just like her mother did as well as her favorite IdolSinger. Unfortunately, despite her mother making a brand new sailor uniform just for her, Komichi soon finds out that her school's uniform has changed to a more modern blazer and a collared shirt.

* BodyMotifs: Feet are constantly used throughout the series to reflect the girls' inner selves. The carefree, natural Komichi is often barefoot, while the beautiful but internally self-conscious Erika ponders often about her secret odor problem, and Kei must also overpower her body shyness starting by her legs (note that feet and legs have the same word in Japanese language, ''ashi''). This extends to scenes where the girls bond with each other, such as when Komichi and Tomono dry up after the rain, or the very opening, where the entire class is shown collectively napping in bare feet, symbolizing how after so many complexes, their innermost feelings can be finally uncovered and connected all together.

* FriendlessBackground: Komichi is a justified but less tragic example than most cases, in that due to living in the remote countryside, she was the ''only'' student in her elementary school. Of course, this feeds into Komichi's need to have friends in middle school in order to do all the things one does with friends, but at the same time leaves her somewhat shy as the lack of social interaction with classmates means she has no experience interacting with anyone in her own age group.
